THOUSANDS OF DEAD PIcKEREL
They Ran Down the Housatonic River
and Drifted Into the Salt Water.

Milford, July 11.-Along the waters
edge at Walnut and Laurel beaches
late last week were found immense
quantities of lingering pickerel- The
number probably ran into the hun
dreds of thousands. The only expla-
nation which seemed applicable was
that the schools of pickerel ran down
the Housatonic river and We're killed
upon meeting salt water. The current
out of the river carried the dead fish
around the breakwater and cast them
upon the beaches.

The three great forward steps in
woman's housework are:
The modern range in place of the
old fireplace and kettle;
The sewing machine IN place of
laborious hand-sewing;
FelS-Naptha soap, which makes it
easy to wash clothes in cool or lukewarm
water, without boiling or hard rubbing.
Of these three, Fels-Naptha saves the
woman more back-breaking labor, more
time, more money, and does more to
make life pleasanter than either of the
Others
At the very first, you can see how it
saves time and labor, but perhaps you'll
wonder how Fels-Naptha saves money.
In two ways: First it saves the cost of
coal or gas to heat water and boil the
clothes.
Then the clothes last longer when
washed with Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water.
Their fibre isn't weakened by boil
ing nor strained by hard rubbing.
You can't realize Just what a help
Fels-Naptha is until you've tried it in
your own washing.
Why not begin next washday1
Fels-Naptha easy way of washing IN
place OF the tlresome, tedious back-break-
ing method.
Use it according to directions on the
ted and green wrapper, winter or summer.

There will be no further attempt by
