Delicate summer curtains, draperies

Delicate summer curtains, draperies,
tapestries, laces, womens fine raiment-
things that would be ruined by washing in
the old-fashioned way-can be cleaned at
home with Fels-Naptha as we'll as an expert
cleaner could do it.
Fels-Naptha contains no injurious
chemicals; nothing that could harm the
most delicate fabric. Sets colors instead of
making them run as most soaps do.
With Fels-Naptha, use only cold or
lukewarm water-never hot. That saves
the fabric. Hot water would soften it and
cause fraying.
Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt; you
don't have to rub it loose as with ordinary
soap.
More than million women do their
washing with Fels-Naptha. They have
found out that Fels-Naptha is the best and
easiest way.

PUGET SOUND FISHERMEN.
Big Run Of Salmon Has Made This
Profitable Year.

The small fishermen Of Puget sound
reaped a rich harvest during the recent
big run Of sockeye salmon. From Billing
ham comes a story to the effect that the
average catch Of the individual fishermen
during the run brought them $500 apiece.
which is pretty fair pay for a season OF
but a few weeks long. They will make
some more from the humpbacks and the
silver salmon yet to run, but Of course
nothing like as much as they did from
the sockeyes. because the inferior Ash
command very small price this year.
There were seventy-five boats out CATCH
ing for the Dillingham; canneries. and the
average earning for each boat was 9.200.
One boat had a catch Of $1,000 fish, which
was the record OF the season. The big
gest catch of any single day by one boat
was 5000 fish, When 1t Is considered
what large price the fish brought it can
be seen that. all things considered. there
are very few occupations in which big
ger returns can be had for tho time spent
and for the investment than In fishing for
salmon during the years Of big run.
It was the fish traps. not the net fisher
men. which caught the bulk OF tho sal
