"Soap is soap" said woman. Her
only idea of soap was something to mix
with hot water in order to make a steaming
suds. She thought it didn't matter which
kind she used-and it didn't.
But if she had used Fels-N aptha in the
way it should be used, in cold or lukewarm
water, she would have learned that
Fels-Naptha is not only a soap but differ
ent way of washing.
A sewing machine is of no use to a
woman who doesn't know how to use it.
Neither is any other labor-saving device.
Before you use a cake of Fels-Naptha,
then, read carefully the directions printed
on the back of the red and green wrapper.
The directions will tell you how to make
Fels- Naptha do the hardest part of your
washing, without hot fires, without steam
ing suds, without boiling or back breaking
hard labor. 1t will save your clothes, save
time, save fuel, save your health and the
clothes will be cleaner and whittier than
ever before.
But not unless you use it the
Fels-Naptha way. Look for the red and
green wrapper.

those who know the signatures of

they were not genuine.

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-07-16

There is universal public opin-
ion-oUtside the Aldrich group-in op-
position to it. The whole country would
recognize that an effort to break down
the trusts monopoly was a very real
and sincere move for cheaper necessaries
of life,
Tt isn't much Of an amendment; It Is
just the matter Of striking out Of the
law eight words-the words which in
trude into the schedule the obsolete
meaningless, and useless Dutch color
standard. That standard has been
abandoned by almost every commercial
nation in the world. The United States is
the only one of Importance which retains
it. Holland. which invented and gave
the standard to the world, has long ago
discarded it. 1t is retained in the
United States as the means to protect
ing the Sugar trust in its grinding mo-
opoly, and for absolutely no other rea-
son. It makes the law more difficult
OF administration. 1t promotes fraud
and the possibility of fraud. 1t costs
the Treasury several millions a year
in revenues which it ought to have. 1t
injuries the beet and the Louisiana cane
sugar growers. It ought TO go, and

ence to see that it does go.
