Fels-Naptha will take grease out of
clothes in cool or lukewarm water.
Y 1t loosens all kinds of grease quick as

That's why butchers, and painters,
and machinists' clothing can be washed
better with Fels-N -Naptha than any otherway
It's easier, too; in summer or winter,
requires no boiling, hot water nor hard
rubbing, and makes better job of it.
Because Fels-Naptha dissolves grease
almost instantly, women who have tried it
prefer Fels-Naptha to any other soap for

CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS

Have you children to make Christ
mas for? Borrow some if you have
not. Hundreds of children from this
city will not have visit from Santa
Claus this year unless some one out
side the family makes that visit pos
sible. Hundreds OF ragged stockings
will hang limp and empty on Christ
mas morning unless some one outside
the family fills them.
The Salvation Army is searching
out these children. The army means
to hang on its annual Christmas tree a
stocking for every child who needs it.
Help is needed in filling these stock
ings. The Nineteenth Century Club
has already begun work for this year.
The club inaugurated the plan three
years ago and filed $50 stockings
Last year the members and their
friends filled 700 This year they mean
to fill 1000. They invite you to fill a
stocking or two and send them to the
club by the day before Christmas.

Since the passage of the general ed
ucation bill by the last general Assem-
bly, a great deal of interest has been
manifested in the location of these
schools. A high spirit of generous
rivalry was shown by the various
towns, which grew more intense as
the day of selection drew near. In
some instances this rivalry even ap-
proac he'd bitterness. But now since
the decision of the board has been
made public the delegations from the
various losing towns have little or
nothing to say, OF course the delega-
