Against Home Industry.

shamefully insulted one day this week
when an III raso firm east reflections

offered him a special inducement to be.
tray his fellow citizens by adhering to
the Sears Roebuck plan of sending
money out of the city foi shopping pur.

Brooks declares he has always been
loyal to home industries and that he
Is not going to prove untrue at this
late day, despite the tempting offer ~
recently rendered him.
II was none other than the Houch
aud Dieter company, dealers in fire
whlskics aud liquors, who sought to
turn HIM from the purpose Of his heart
into betraying home industry by
mailing him IA special offer whereby
he can get twelve quarts of Sam Clay
OT Cedar Brook for the modest sum of
fifteen dollars.
BE 1t said, TO the tempted man s
credit, that he turned his back ON the
proposition aud stuck true to his pur.
pose, answering the firm TO the effect
that 1t had been some time since hs
has been IN contact with the snake,
aud is not in need of anything of the
kind at present. II he should, however,
be continued, he would patroni1e home
industry, since there are eleven sa.

Do your clothes have an odor when

No-if you wash with Fels-Naptha.
Yes-if you use ordinary laundry soap
or washing powders.
II you could see what goes into the
ordinary soaps and powders, you would
understand why they leave the clothes yell
low and ill-smeling.
Ifyou could see the pure materials that
form basis for Fels-Naptha you would
know why it makes your clothes white and
sweet, free from all odors.
Compare clothes washed with
Fels-Naptha in cold or lukewarm water
with clothes on which ordinary laundry
soaps and powders have been used.
No other soap is anything like
