ed there was no such soap as Fels-Naptha and had
wash clothes in the old way of boiling in hot water
with ordinary laundry soap and hardrubbing.
Nothing could be awful"
Fels-Naptha has changed everything
on washday.
Instead of hot fire, little or no fire.
Instead of boiling, just short soaking
in cool or lukewarm water.
Instead of steam and smell through the
house, no steam nor odor at all.
Instead of all day over the wash, half
day.
Instead of hard-rubbing, only little
rubbing
Yes, Fels-Naptha has completely
changed washday!

Gated. You are sure of the genuine if you
insist on the red and green wrapper.

After the Florida rammed the Repub-

Norris of Deal N J.. that passengers
were injured in their state rooms. The
priest Immediately made his way be-
low with difficulty against the swarm
of alarmed passengers: Said he the
other day:

reached Mrs. Eugene Lynch of Boston
in her state room before she died and
ministered to her To get to the next
state room had to swing myself across
a chasm which had been made by the
prov of the Florida. The cold sea water
caught my legs and nearly carried me
away, but ] was able to swing myself
to what had been a part of the state

out a bunk which had been crushed

JUST SMILE AND FORGET.

oh, do not be discouraged, little heart,
This world is not wilderness of woe,
And if sometimes its brambles catch
and tear.
Don't let the scratches vex you so.
For all the little worries that befall,
The small vexations that so grieve
and fret,
Tomorrow they will vanish into air;
Then smile. dear heart, just smile and
then forget.
And if today the skies are overcast,
Somewhere We know the sun is shin
ing still:
It's silver radiance briins the lowering
clouds,
And we may catch its glory if we will.
And it is good to strive though we
should fail,
And good il is to suffer and be strong:
And IL we lift our faces to the light
The darkest day will ring to even
song.
And when our feet are weary and the
road
More toilsome seems with every pass
ing day.
To share our every burden, little heart,
The Helper walks beside US all the
way.

If you ale going to do anything per-

got to begin before he is a man. The
chance OF success lies in working with
the boy and not with the man. That
applies peculiarly TO those boys who
tend to drift off into courses which
mean that unless they are checked they
will be formidable additions to the Grim

What will happen to these creatures de-

WHEN GRANDPA WAS A BOY.

No auto cars went WhizZing by
When grandpa was a boy:
No aeroplanes sailed to the sky;
When grandpa was a boy;
The people did not live in flats,
There were no Merry Widow hats,
And babies were not joining frats
When grandpa was boy.
They had no legs shows on the stage
When grandpa was a boy;
Bridge whist had not become the rage
When grandpa was boy;
They flashed no messages through
space,
The lady was not in disgrace
Who had a child around her place
When grandpa was boy.
Waists were not butoned down behind
When grandpa was boy:
No meat trust socked it to mankind
When grandpa was a boy:
The country had no Uncle joe
To say things should be thus or 50,
No Aldrich to say yes or no,
When grandpa was boy.
There were no shrieking suffragettes
When grandpa was boy:
The ladies puffed no cigarettes,
When grandpa was boy;
When married women ran away
With married men they did not claim
To be affinities nor pray
Therefore. 10 be absolved from blame
When grandpa was boy.
