 ing Important Property Facts.

That the work of the present board of assessors is being done in a care ful and thorough manner is evidenced from Lhe fact that Dr. George E. Will cox, chairman of the board, is doing what has never been done before in the history Of the town.

The painstaking as sessor not only ascertains the facts above stated, but also finds out amount of insurance carried upon the property and by the figures obtained is enabled to arrive at fair fifty per cent. value upon which to list the properties for taxation.
 The doctor is giving his time and doing the work at considerable financial sacrifice but is glad to do it for principles sake and intends to see the matter through to the end and complete the work to the best of his ability and that is being shown to be no small asset

Fels-Naptha Soap won't gather your soiled clothes, put them to soak, rinse them and hang them out on the line.
 But that's about all 1t leaves you to do with the weekly washing.
 It takes the place of boiling and hard rubbing and takes all the dread out of washday.
 It saves your making hot fire because Fels-Naptha Soap clcanses the clothes in cool or lukewarm water.
 No stewing over hot suds
 No roughening or reckoning of the hands.
 Isn't 1t worth while2 Both in Winter and Summer.
 More than a million women are doing their washing with Fels-Naptha Soap every week and thanking their lucky stars that they've found so-much-easier way.
 Better join them now.
 All that's necessary Is to get cake of Fels-Naptha and follow directions printed on the red and green wrapper.
