JEWETT CITY
Nine Weavers Strike at Ashland Mill Congregational Ladies' Society Celebrates Conclusion of Church Renovation.

About 200 automatic looms are idle at the Ashland Cotton company's mills as the result of a strike among nine of the weavers. The trouble arose when the> company put them on piece work at 30 cents per cut of cloth turned off. The mill officials stated they asked the weavers to turn off S6 per cent. of the efficiency of 24 of the automatic looms which is below the percentage of what they might be able to do, and at this rate, weavers could be able to make on an average $12.50 per week. Last weeks produc- tlon was somewhat lower than the help expected to turn off but most of the weavers had their looms full of cloth which would be ready to come officials feel that they are acting squarely in the matter and are even doing better than some other mills on the same class of work.

Anty Dradge-'No she didn't let her work goI I'll tell you what she did. She used Fes-N -Naptha soap which does the work in half the time and doesn't give you a backache in doing it. ''
Norwich bulletin., 1911-05-24

Here are two ways of washing. Choose for yourself:
 The Old Way. Get up at 5 o'clock. Make hot fire, fill the washboiler and get 1t boiling. Wet your white clothes, soap them and put them into the boiler. When they're boiled good and tender, rub them hard on the washboard, meanwhile putting others in to boil. Keep the fire good and hot. It will fill the house with nauseous steam but that's necessary in this kind of washing. When noon comes, If the smell of boiling clothes hasn' taken your appe- tite, snatch a bite of cold lunch. When you have the clothes boiled and rubbed sufficiently, wiring them or-, go from the steaming hot room into the cool air outi side and hang them on the line. You'u ul likely catch cold, but 1t must be done.
 The New Way. Get up at 7 o'clock summer and winter Wet all your clothes, soap well with Fels-Naptha and let them soak in cool or lukewarm water for 30 minutes. Then rub lightly, rinse well and hang out to dry. That's all. And your clothes will be cleaner, winter and purer than you could get them in any other way. The whole washing takes only few hours.
 Which way sounds best to you?
 In using Fels-Naptha, follow simple directions printed on the red and green wrapper.
