A woman who washed the old-fashion-
ed way in steaming suds and with much
rubbing changed to FelS-Naptha soap.
Her clothes wore better than they had
in the past.
She gave the credit to the quality of
the fabrics
But one day some one asked her to try
something Just as good as Fels-Naptha
soap She did
And her clothes were in Shreds in a
few months
Then the reason dawned on the wo-
man. The secret of lasting wear was
Fels-Naptha soap and the Fels-Naptha way
of washing
You can't boil and hard rub clothes
and expect them to last; neither can you
eat the dirt out of clothes without eat
ing the life out too
FelS-Naptha washes colored clothes
without fading. Fels-Naptha won't shrink
or roughen Aannels. FelS-Naptha makes
the wash white and pure and sweet
The easiest and best way to use
Fels-Naptha soap is the right way-in cool
or hkewarm water. Use any time of the
year.
Follow the directions on the red and
green wrapper.

THE Si-A-DAY PENSION
BILL NOW FACES DELAY

A sharp division of sentiment
among Senators regarding service
pension legislation, protests against
large Congressional expenditures,
the Russian treaty question, con-
tinued investigations and enactment
Of the urgent deficiency bill into
law kept Congress busy this week
Both houses adjourned Thursday
until January end Plans are going
forward for what promises to prove
a congestion of legislation after the
recess.
The Sherwood so-called dollar-a-
day pension bill, which the House
has passed, probably will not find
an easy way in the Senate. Senator
Gore of Oklahoma, a leading Demo
cratic member of the Pension Com
mittee, already has started an in
quiry into the possibility of post
pOning action until the next session,
when there will he no Presidential
election. In the House proceedings
on the Sherwood bill the effect upon
either party Of marked liberality to
the Mexican and Civil War veter-
ans, aggregating possibly s75,ooo,-
600 ultimately, was a conspicuous
factor, and Senator Gore contends /
that the subject will not be so popu
lar in Congress after the Presiden-
tial election.
SITUATION IS COMPLICATED.
Senator McCumber, chairman of
the Pension Committee, while not
committing himselfto the Sherwood
bill, has expressed the. opinion that
some general pension legislation
would be enacted during this ses-
sion Of Congress.
I'VE should do now what we are
going to do regardless of politics, (
he said. He thinks Congressional
action should depend on the state i

man has been secured from Pennsyl-
yania State College, and he has already
started on his new duties. -Four hun
dred and fifty COWS are in the herds
which belong to members of the Asso-

the night and morning milk of each
COW, test each cows milk for butterfat
and solids, weigh feed and ascertain
