Anty Drudge Tells How to Avoid
ScaldinQ Children.

Fels-Naptha in cool or lukewarm water, you'd save
time money and hard work and there wouldn't be
any danger of the children getting scalded !"
Hot weather is bad enough without
hot fire and steaming suds in washing
clothes.
There is better way.
Fels-Naptha soap will cleanse your
clothes in cool or lukewarm water, without
boiling or hard rubbing, in summer or
winter.
1t will do the work in less than half
the time and make your clothes swecter,
cleaner and winter.
And the clothes will wear longer.
Think of it
Why should any woman risk her health
and shorten her life by wearing herself out
with hard work, and subject herself to dis
comfort in boiling clothes and rubbing
them through hot suds1
Follow easy directions on the red and
green wrapper.
