their horses on the top of the divide

Daylight's steadfast contention was
that his wife should not become cook,
waitress, and chambermaid because
she did not happen to possess a house

chafing-dish suppers In the big living
room for their camping guests were a

Daylight allotted them their chores
and saw that they were performed.
For one who stopped only for the
night It was different. Likewise 1t

himself never overdone. Nevertheless,
there were times when both he and
Dede was not above confessing tired

miles in the saddle. Sometimes, when
he had accumulated little money
and when the season favored, they
would mount their horses, with sad
dIe-bags behind, and ride away over
the wall of the valley and down into
the other valleys.
One day, stopping to mail letter

in actual use, 1t will soon become
scratched and furnished, and the case
for this purpose, Of which we give

a pencil, about an eighth of an inch

The three great forward steps in

The three great forward steps in
womans housework are:
The modern range in place of the
old fireplace and kettle;
The sewing machine in place of
iabofious nand-sewing;.
Fels-Naptha soap, which makes it
easy to wash clothes in cool or lukewarm
water, without boiling or hard rubbing.
Oh these three, Fels-Naptha saves the
woman more back breaking labor, more
time, more money, and does more to
make lie pleasanter than either Of the
Others.
At the very first you can see how it
saves time and Labor, but perhaps you'll
wonder now Fels-Naptha saves money.
In two ways: First it saves the cost of
coal or gas to heat water and boil the
clothes.
Then the clothes last longer when
washed with Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water.
Their fibre isn't weakened by boil
ing nor strained by hard rubbing.
You can't realize ust what a hel
Fels~Naptha is until you've tried it in
your own washing.
Why not begin next washday?
