FIR INK 3. HOWE. Editor and Publisht

Bennington is easily the best base
ball town in Vermont, judging from
the manner in which il has maintain
ed splendid team the present season
as in the past, and base ball fans in
other towns anxious for a team will
do well to study its methods.-Bur-
lington Free Press.
There are at least eight towns in
Vermont that can support good cred
table base ball teams if they will I'M
dertake it on the same basis that
Bennington did this year. The salary
list here has been under $500 per
month and, most of the time, under
$500. When we have lost a game we
haven't upset the team by releasing a
man because he made an error. and
we haven't tried to win games by hir-
ing expensive players for special
occasions. The team has played not
over two games a week and some of
the time only one. 1t hasn't won all
its games, but it has won much more
than half of them and has usually
made good showing when it didn't
win. 1t has gone up against some
good teams, especially North Adams
and Pittsfield, where the salary list
is fully three times what it is here
and has won the series with all of
tnem except North Adams. Ben
nington has been fortunate this year
in getting together a strong team and
the team has been lucky, but with
similar methods the town can have a
creditable team every year and so can
any of the larger towns in the state.

Light summer clothes are more easily
damaged than winter fabrics. That's good
and sufficient reason why they should be
washed with Fels-Naptha in cold or luke.
warm water.
In washing with Fels-Naptha there is
no boiling or cooking to weaken the deli
cate hbres, no hard-rubbing to fray them,
no injurious chemicals to eat holes in them.
But there are other reasons. 1t is far
easier on the woman who does the wash
ing. There is no hard-rubbing, no blister
ing fire, no scalding suds to steam the face
and redden the hands.
Fels-Naptha soap does its work best in
cold or lukewarm water, diSsolving the
dirt so it can be washed away with simple
rinsing. Sounds easy and comfortable,

Portable as it sounds if you use Fels-Naptha
