Values Increasing

The attention of the members of Con- gross is called to the fact that since the government purchased the site on Fifth avenue-two one million dollar hotels and an apartment building to the value of $600,000 in the immediate vicinity of the site have been pro- jeeted. This has enhanced the value of the site as well as the desired 150 feet needed for the proposed post office building and the members Of the public buildings committee are asked by the chamber to carefully con sider this when the question of tho high price asked for the needed 15O feet of land comes up for their con sideration. The letter states that tho general business development of the city is headed in the direction of where the proposed postoffiee is to be built and that the government, unless 1t im- mediately purchases the required i50 feet, will have to pay very much more than asked at present. Population and industrial figures of tho Birmingham district are in the letter to show reason why new postoffice is required in Birmingham.

Justice Charles B. Lore. He lived
on the Lore farm, Lorewood. d" He
is survived by his widow and seven
children. Mr.. Lore was one of the
most progressive farmers of that
sec ction and was we'll and favorably
known. The news of his tragic
death caused shock to the COM

Did you ever think Of the difference
between washing and cleaning?
You can wash with any kind of soap
in any kind of water, hot or cold.
You can boil clothes and rub them on
a washboard until your back aches.
All that is washing.
But it isn't always cleaning
Most soaps are just washing soaps.
They furnish little lather and let you
do the work.
Fels-Naptha is cleaning soap.
1t works all by itself in cool or luke
warm water, saving all the trouble and dis
comfort Of boiling and hot Suds.
Fels-Naptha Soap cleans your clothes
1t really reaches the dirt and dis8olves
1t does this while the soaped clothes
are soaking in cool or lukewarm WAGER,
while you are thinking OF something else
or resting.
When Fels-Naptha Soap gets through
with them thirty minutes Or so is long
enough-you rub lightly, rinse the clothes
and they're cleaner, swceter and whittier
than you could get them by washing all
day in the old-fashioned manner.
You'll find directions for using
Fels-Naptha printed on the back of the
red and green wrapper.
