water it would have been snowywhte. The
Fels- Naptha way is the only method of washing to
keen white clothes white without harmng them
Here's the easiest way that's ever been
discovered to wash clothes either in sum-
mer or winter.
For the white things: Wet the clothes,
soap well with Fels-Naptha, roll and let
soak for thirty minutes in cool or lukewarm
water. Unroll, rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry
That's all; no boiling, no hard rub
bing, no hot water.
This simple Fels-Naptha way of wash
ing makes your clothes sweeter, whittier,
cleaner than you can get them any other
way.
And the clothes last longer because
they are not weakened by boiling, nor
worn by hard rubbing.
Worth trying?
1t is for the woman who values her
clothes, her time and herself.
For washing colored clothes and other
things, see plain directions on the red and
green wrapper.

Noisy Nuisances.

Ill-fitting doors and windows rep
resent a happy hunting ground for the
disturbing winds. In fact, SO annoying
does the constant rattle of these open
ings become that many determined in
dividuals, who resolve to admit the
fresh air, choose the lesser of two
evils and close the openings in prefer
ence to sleepless nights. This can be
remedied if small wedge of wood
be driven in at the side of an open
window; door can be prevented
from rafting if pad or strip of thick
felt be nailed on the edge of the door.
The annoyance of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom of
each
Creaking hinges on anything should
be well oiled, while the grating, irri-
tating noise of a sewing machine can
be overcome in similar manner.
The little noises wear away the pa
tience that is required for other
things. 1t We're foolish to dissipate
energy through the channels of irri-
tated nerves when little time will
obyiate the nuisances.
