Fels-Naptha is better than an extra

Fels-Naptha is better than an extra
pair of hands in housekeeping.
1t makes dirt fly from walls, floors,
woodwork, lnoleum, windows, porcelain
fittings and anything else that's clean
able, Just as it does from clothes.
No scrub-brush or hot water is nee
esSary, mind you.
Just Fels-Naptha, cool or lukewarm
water, and soft. cloth.
Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt in
jiffy SO it can be rinsed away; it doesn't
have to be secured off.
AS Fels-Naptha is also a germicide,
it is good sanitary precaution to do
your housekeeping with it.
Did you ever try washing dishes with
Fels-Naptha in lukewarm water1

and makes the glasses shine.

should be done on a general plan, and by the State. There will

A close observer of the daily news

cidents during the past month which
resulted from the clumsy method Of
congratulating newlyweds by throwing

frightens carriage horses into running

for accidents. some of which result
fatally. People should remember this

of the city from Il corrupt rule that has held it as in a wise

FRIDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 3. 1911.
Shall WE ELECT TO HAVE DIRTY STREETS j?

IT I would seem that one of the questions in the local election
| next Tuesday is whether, according to the judgment of the
Newark citizen, the streets of our city have been kept clean
for the last two years. The reelection of a commissioner of the
Board of Works must be accepted as an Endorsement of his adj
minsration. Commissioner Denman has, with singular boldness,
made al issue of the question. He says on the stump that the
streets Of Newark are kept clean and that the immense sums spent
annually for street cleaning are wisely and judiciousy spent.
Moreover, he not only defends the system of employing labor for
political and charitable reasons, but glorifes it. OF course, the
issue was forced on the commissioner and he could not escape it.
But he is sometimes a rash man who says black is white and insists
upon it. If The Newark community takes the view of Commissioner
Denman the majority of the vote on Tuesday will be that way.
The people will therein express their entire approval of the general
'conditions in the streets and of the large appropriations disbursed.
but such Il verdict does not seem possible in this town.

AottCAtOB from GApiOstOhss
To the Editor OF the Evening star;
When one considers the enormity of
the danger surrounding the places
where explosives are kept in large
quantities there is always a second
thought which confronts one. Is there
a department created for the purpose
of protecting life and property. from
such calamities as the one recently oc-
curing, and as the one at Communi-
paw, still fresh to memory? If there
is such a department is it vested with
the proper authority to compel an ade-
quate safeguarding of life and prop
erty? If these accidents are liable to
happen anytime surely the greatest
care should be taken to minimize all
danger therefrom. A CITIZEN. /.
