''Wear" is nothing but rubbing"

swear" is nothing but rubbing"
Every time you hard rub your clothes
against anything, little PARTICLES are
rubbed away.
Boiling softens the fibre of cotton,
linen, silk and wool, and when rubbed
hard on the washboard they wear away
faster than at any other time.
Try to think how many days of wear
are represented by one trip to the old
time waShtub.
Fels-Naptha requires neither boiling
water nor hard rubbing.
And there is no washboard wear on
the clothes washed the Fels-Naptha way.
Fels-Naptha is made to do away with
boiling and hard rubbing; therefore if
you use it as an ordinary soap, you cause
yourself unnecessary work.
Use Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water and it will do all we claim.
1t will cut the washday in half, sum-
mer or winter, and do silently and effec-
lively all the real hard work.
If you follow the simple directions
on the red and green wrapper, you will
never return to ordinary soaps and the
old-fashioned way of washing.

The digestive impulse

The digestive impulse
Is the life of the stomach.
If this is Weakened
Crippled by abuse,
Eating improper food
The rest of the body suffers.
Body and Brain are nourished
Through the digestive impulse.
Food is called for, and If right
The tissues are repaired
As fast as mental and physical
Activity breaks them down
This Is life.
Grape-Nuts food not only
Meets the requirements Of
Tissue-repair, but is
SoIute OF vital energy.
It contains the phosphates
Stored up by nature
In wheat and barley.
Grape-Nuts was prepared
Ry q food expert, so one
Can get these vital elements
Without bother, cooking, or
Other EFFORT than eating 1t.

It Is delicious, satisfies
