Modern progress hasn't forgotten the
woman at the tub.
Fels-Naptha proves that.
Time was when medicine wasn't con-
sidered good unless it was strong enough
or tasted bad enough half to choke the
patient.
Some folks who. don't know about
that new way of washing think that wash
day must be day of seething suds, scald-
ing water, perspiration and general misery.
But Fels-Naptha is converting these
people who have been tied to the not
good-enough method.
You see there is a way to wash
clothes summer or winter in cool or luke
warm water, way that saves your
strength, your time and your temper, and
preserves the garments from the ruinous,
Understanding boiler.
That way is the Fels-Naptha way.
Look for the red and green wrapper.

out of doors. yet whose hands are white
and fine, and she wears chamois all win
ter. and when she knows she will not re-
move her gloves before returning home
ways wears when She has previously
treated her hands with cream This treat
ment consists of rubbing the backs Of her
hands and the fingers lightly with sweet
almond Oil. then busting them thickly
with powdered chalk. After that the
gloves are drawn on. The chalk prevents
the grease from going through the leather
and the skin is under treatment all the
time the gloves are on. Such method
should be followed always by a girl who
plays tennis. or is out of doors much in
warm weather.
II gloves seem to interfere with holding
golf sticks or tennis bats cut off the fin
ger tips, then the fingers will be free
while the skin is protected. Gloves once
cut do not wear as long as when whole.
but those worn for recreation may be
taken from the stock which is too old to
wear when visiting or shopping.

easily a mixture of lemon and sweet al
mond oil will act as bleach. Lemon
juice and powdered magnesia should be
mixed into thick mass, then enough al
mond oil must be added to reduce it to a
paste. A drop of bitter almond oil to a
tablespoonful Of the paste improves it's
bleaching qualities. This mixture must
be spread over the skin before gloves are
drawn on, and may be used during. the
day or at night.

Hints for Gardeners.

Too much energy will harm a garden,
for plants and vegetables, like children,
require gentle handling, and the smaller
they are the more, care must be given.
For example. weeds, of course, are bad
for the. roots and mustsbe exterminated,
but any mother knows that should she up
root faults too quickly from the nature of
her children, she will do harm. So 1t is
with weeds and seedlings. When the lit
tie roots are tiny, hardly an inch long.
any weeds that are clinging must be let
alone until the plant taps are strong
enough to remove the foreign root with
out hurting the tendrils. And that Is what
mean by too much energy
The matter of wedding intelligently is
one of fundamental importance to sue
cessful garden. Nothing will more quickly
stunt and choke plants than these unwel-
come roots, and the fact that they can
not be pulled When flowers are young
adds to their menace. The true way Is
to prevent weeds being present, and this
can be achieved in measure by having
the soil we'll worked before the seeds or
ism in rich, we'll worked loan. but when
the soil is poor and neglected the crop
will surely be hXuriant.
wrote a few days ago of the impor-
lance of working thoroughly, but there
again, as in wedding, energy must be
curbed. One blow of the hoe. should it go
too deep, will destroy plant by injuring
the roots. i wish there were rules for
keeping the loan fallow and telling pre-
cisely how deep the weeder or hoe may be
placed. but there are not, so only by eX-
perience can gardener know how close
to the surface the tap roots grow.
4 third point for restraint is in using a
hose in the garden. Watering must never
be done when the sun is hot or when it
shines directly on the plants. because
moisture draws the roots to the surface,
and il they are brought too near they
plant Is injured. The safer plan is to use
a hose at night instead of early in the
morning. THE HOME GARDENER.
