Easy on the woman: easy on the
clothes That, in a nutshell, is the
Fels-Naptha way of washing.
Fels-Naptha soap does away with all
the hard and disagreeable part of washing
clothes. Little rubbing, no stcaming suds
to bend over, no keeping up fire to boil the
clothes, no nauseous odor from cooking
soiled garments
Then, clothes last longer with no boil
ing to weaken their fiber and no hard rub
hing to wear them thin.
Look for the red and green wrapper.

Convincing Argument.

Anna Margaret had a great many
toys. and her mother thought she
ought to give some of them away
before Christmas to less fortunate
children. Anna Margaret was will
ing to part with the broken trunk
and the cracked set of dishes and
the one-legged Teddy bear. and a
few other toys that were in the
same dilapidated condition. But
when it came to her pet baby doll,
the one went to sleep with her
every night, she rebelled. Mama
assured her that Santa Claus would
undoubtedly bring to her another
doll, even better. She refused to
be cOmfOrted.

you another baby, would you give

An Old Boy Says SO.

How many of our boys are thinking
of the great things that they would
do if they only had chance? Now,
boys, don't always wait for this
chance to come.
Do not dream and chafe at the com.
monplace surroundings that the farm
affords you, but strive to make your
own chance.
Do not neglect the homely duties
that are crowding about you in your
everyday life and always be waiting
for something to turn up so that you
may show that you are made of q
little better stuff than ordinary boys.
1t is all in the boy and not in the
chance, and the boy with the right
kind of stuff in him will seize the
first chance that comes to him. OPP
portunity seldom knocks at boys
door, and when it does he should be
ready to grasp 1t.
Above all, do not feel above The
occupation and calling OF your pa
rents. Perhaps the old farm home
does not have the charm for you that
it should, but do not be discouraged
and think of leaving father and moth
er, but stop and think how you can
make it better and how you can make
it more pleasant and attractive and
how you can improve your chances
of finding some profitable occupation.
Above all, do something to improve
your leisure time.
The boys who are spending their
idle time about town are doing 1t be-
cause they have nothing to interest
them at home. They become lone
some and go to town to find company,
not at first to acquire bad habits, al
