The Methods Of Wise Mother.

and saves the wrappers to get me new dress with
them because she says the boiling awfufy hard on
them and turns them yellow
Evu SpickaHdspan-" mother saves wrappers.
She saves the clothes by not boiling them. She uses
Fels-Naptha soap
Anty Drudge-'Wel Eva, you certainly show good train
ing and the methods of wise mother. Fels-Naptha
soap requires boiling to keep frocks white and look
ing new. And Cissy, tell your mother it's wiser to
save the clothes than save the wrappers.
A wise housekeeper would not try to
pet along without sewing machine.
A wise housekeeper doesn't try to get
along without Fels-Naptha soap.
Why3
Because Fels-Naptha soap makes wash
ing easy. No hot fires, no boiling, no
houseful of sitting steam, no wash boilero of
scalding water endangering lives and limbs.
And when the washing's done there's
no yellow tinge in the clothes. The white
things are snowy, the colored things are
unfaded, the hannels and other woolens
are unshrunk.
When you use els-Naptha soap the
work is only about one-fourth as hard.
You put the clothes in cool or lukewarm
water-never hot-rub the Fels-Naptha on
them, roll them and let them soak for half
an-hour. Then rub lightly, rinse and hang
on the line.
Don't forget the saving to your own
health and good looks, too. If you wash
the Fels-Naptha way you don't have bruis-
ed knuckles, steamed face and aching back.
After you've tried it once you will
never dream of going back to the old way
of washing.
Follow directions on the red and green
