The mixing OF two wholesome oils,
therefore, is not regarded as crime,

The simple method OF mixing is all
that is needed in this Instance. The
two oils are very nearly alike in

and in their other physical properties,
and hence the sacrifice of sincerity or

In contrast 10 this procedure may
be cited the adulteration OF spices
where the mixing of the spices with
ground shells. or other practically
inert material, must be accomplished
in the most skillful and highly tech

Each of the ground spices has GER

The housewife is quite likely to be
judged by the appearance OF the wash as 1t
hangs on the line 1t is the one part OF the
Homework that is all out of doors; all in the
eye of your neighbors.
''How nice that wash looks" is
coveted washday saying. If you knew-it
was either Fels-Naptha soap or too much
work that gave the nice look. Drudgery
may give it; Fels-Naptha soap will give it
without drudgery.
Fels-Naptha makes the clothes clean
and pure, because it DISSOLVES every
particle of dirt.
You first soap the clothes, roll and
place them in cool or lukewarm water for
half an hour. You then find that only
light rubbing is needed to make them pure
as driven snow.
And it's as good for every other part
of the household work as for the wash. A
trial will convince you. Follow directions
on the red and green wrapper.
