FEELS NAPTHA STORY.
Remarkable Growth Of FEELS -Naptha
Tribute To Its Worth,

In 1876 Fels G Company began as man
ufacturers of toilet soaps, and the bust
ness continued along that line for some
there was in the minds of the brothers
Fels a growing recognition of a great
human need-the need of stripping wash
day of its terrors, Of emancipating wo-
mankind from the dangers and discom-
forts incidental to the use of the wash
boiler and from the drudgery of the
dashboard. with its everlasting and back
breaking rub, rub. rub; withal. of an all
round economy in the washday practices
of the period-not alone saving the wo-
man her strength and time. but saving
the clothes saving fuel. saving Doctors
bills-lifting part of the burden OF the
Wage-earner and making life easier and
pleasanter for the whole family.
The result. in a nutshell, was the pro-
duction of Fels-Naptha-a different kind
of soap for the laundry and general
household purposes. 1t is now sold and
used in every State and Territory in the
United States, in every province of Cana
da, and in every County of England and
the United Kingdom. Nearly all Of the
general groCers in the United States have
FeS-Naptha on their shelves.
All of this vast quantity of soap is made
in Philadelphia in a model plant. which
is one of the most important and most IL
teresting of that city's industries. Twelve
acres of land are occupied. most of which
is covered by buildings. and new addl-
tons to the factories are constantly III
course of erection. The oulluln2S are
we'll lighted, perfectly sanitary and COM
Portable and are kept spotlessly clean.
During 1906, with the introduction of
the now famous Fels-Naptha character,
"Anty- Drudge" Fels {; Company sound
cd a new and refreshing note in news

created by the Ireland Advertising Agen-

tional figure She is read and quoted
from Maine to California and in the

character has ever attained such valu-

SOME GRAVE FAULTS
OF His Clergy ApoIoeized for by Arch
bishop O'ConnelI.

Boston, Feb. 13.-Declaring that the pos
session by priests of any large sum OF
money gained from any source but in
heritance is a grave scandal, Archbishop
William H. O'Connell of the Boston arch
diocese Sunday begged the Indulgence and
prayers of the congregation of the Cathe-
dral of the Holy Cross for some grave
faults which recently happened on the
part of one or two of the clergy of this
diocese. The archbishop stated that no
priest in the Boston archdiocese could
amass money purely from the income of
his parish and deplored the fact tina.
scandal had been caused because of TIN
wills of priests who had left large for
tunes. There have been enough and
more than enough of such things he

The Kennebec Journal.
Augusta, Me.
To the Editor of Kennebec Journal: :
In the Kennebec Journal of Feb. 3
there appeared an item to the effect
that Henry p. Toler became violently
insane after controversies with factions
in the First Church of Christ, Scierit-
list, New York City"
The facts are that Mr.. Toler has been
insane for a number of years. His
condition, it is said. was brought
about by his experience in scheme to
recover large tract of land in the
upper part of New York City. which
was originally called New Harlem. Toll
er believed himself to be one Of the
heirs to this property. He had hailu-
cinations on this subject and 1t Is
said that he spent his fortune in the
scheme. Christian Scientists did not
believe in his plan, but on the contrary
looked upon it with disfavor.
Toler was at the time a supporter OF
Mrs Stetson. Later he had some con-
with her but it Is absolutely
incorrect to say that the recent trouble
with Mrs. Stetson had anything 10 90
with the suicide. Moreover the Stetson
incident was not controversy between
Mrs. Stetson and Mrs. EDDY. 1t was
simply a matter of discipline, owing TO
the insistence Of the directors or the
Mother church that those who pose as
and practitioners of Christian
Science shall be consistent Christian
Scientists.
Yours sincerely,
FRANK G.. BARRETT.
