Delicate summer curtains, draperies,

Delicate summer curtains, draperies,) tapestries, faces, women's fine raiment-, things that would be ruined by washing in the old-fashioned way-can be cleaned at home with s-Naptha as well as an expert cleaner could do 1t.
 Fels-Naptha contains no injurio ous' chemicals; nothing that could harm the most delicate fabric. Sets colors instead of making them run most soaps do.
 With Fels-Naptha, use only cold or 1ukewarm water hot. That saves the fabric. Hot water would soften 1t and ! cause fraying.
 Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt; yout don't have to rub it loose as with ordinary soap.
 More than million women do their washing with Fels-Naptha. They have found out that Fels-Naptha Is the best and easiest way.
 Follow directions on the red and green wrapper.

The work was rushed as the contracts called for the new division to be in operation by July 18th. The transfer. or rather what the telephone men call the "cut-over." took place Saturday evening at 9:10, and was accomplished in very few moments.
 Up to that time Canaan was central, but 8 few moments later the new switchboard in the Peabody building was in operation. So we'll had the work been done that everything was all right almost from the start. There is now no crank to turn as central is called by simply taking the receiver from the hook. The new system has all the latest wrinkles in the way of up- to-date devices and 1t is said by the telephone men that the town now AaesS [" OJ oVOAA O40CSA UO ebAb OA bhO Ad4 SO cities. The exchange at present numbers 234 phones; of these 37 are private, or rather single wire, mostly business places, a fact that will take much business from the party wires.
 Among the prominent telephone men of the state present at the "cut-over, ; were Messrs. J. D. Veltch, F. P. Oonklin, E. B. Beers and 0. H. Pardee, of Water bury, and Messrsy E. L. Simonds, William Smith and Sims Embler, of New Haven.
 The division will be in charge of Miss Ella Consadine who will also have, charge of /the Canaan office. Miss Consadine has been for many years in charge of our telephone lines and has large list of friends here who will be gratified to learn that she is still to do business with us. The day operators will be Miss Frances Stuart and Miss Jennie Wheeler, while Miss Della Mitchell will be the night operator.
