Easy on the woman and easy on the
clothes.
That's why progressive women are
washing their clothes with Fels-Naptha
in cool or lukewarm water, in summer or
winter.
It's easy on the woman because it
does away with fires for heating water,
makes hard rubbing unnecessary and
takes less than half the time Of the old
way of washing.
It's easy on the clothes because there
is no boiling to make the clothes tender,
and no hard rubbing to wear them into
holes before their time.
Save yourself; save your clothes-use
Fels-Naptha.
Costs little money for big cake, and
lasts longer than ordinary soaps.
In using it follow directions printed
on the red and green wrapper.

when I was a member of that board in the shape of a resolution to execute contract with that company for arc lights at $70 perylight per annum. At that time, after having made inquiry as to the rate of lighting various municipalities, I pro- tested, together with other members of the board, a'aginst the making of the contract now in force because the price of s70 per arc was much higher than any other city paid for the same ser vice. We contended for s6O rate per arc, and I was convinced that this price would net the company a fair profit. The fig ures from other cities showed conclusive ly that Birmingham was being mulcted of many thousands of dollars per year by reason of the high rate consumers were paying for commercial light.
 f"Of course, we are all familiar with the fight for the 5 cents fare to Ensley. I saw the injustice of the, 10 cents fare all along and as soon as t got on the board I introduced a resolution jointly with Mr Huddleston to compel the reduction of the fare from 10 to 5 cents. F think the rcatter of the reduction of the fare should be independent of other grievances of the public, against this company and should be handled as a distinct propesl ton, and should not be permitted to be used as a lever by the company to turn sconcessions it's way for the reason that this rate has always been indefensible, even if we concede that the company has the contract permitting it to charge 10 cents.
 It would be subversive of the interest of the city to bind itself by 10 year con tract In any event, and the clause in the proposed contract permitting the city to purchase the company's plant Is no concession whatever, because the city finds it difficult now, and will so find 1t for number of years to come. to meet it's current expenses. and of course, buying the lighting plant is out of the question. It is equally out of the 1ues- tion to expect another exclusive light company to enter the field and be able to underbid this company, when we consider that the present company is loaded down with numbers of franchises which it got from the city for almost nothing
 To accept the proposition of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany would mean to subject the city and public to a continued mulcting by that company"

DID YOU FEEL QUEER. YESTERDAY?

Yesterday was one of three days in every century. In other words, yesterday was one of the only three days of each century on which the day of the month, the number of the month and the number of the year can all be written with the same fgure-11-11-'11. this time being No- vember II, 1911.
 The other two days of the century on which this unusual feat may be performed are October 10 and December F, during the eleventh and thirteenth years of the century, respectively. On years prior to the eleventh year of the century, the nought preceding the numeral forbids this feat being performed as 9-9-'09 Years fol- lowing the thirteenth year of the century end in numbers too large for the number of months during the year, as December, the twelfth month of the year, Is the month of the largest number and the fourteenth year of the century is 1913.

that but three-fourths of the mer-
