There's right way and wrong way
to do everything.
And there is a new way and an old
way to do almost everything.
The new way to wash clothes is the
FeIS-Naptha way-in cool or lukewarm
water, no boiling, either in winter or sum-
mer, and little rubbing.
And the Fels-Naptha is the right way
as well-saves time, saves the back, saves
tue, and the wash comes out cleaner,
Sweeter, whittier.
1t is up to you to choose between the
new and the old, the right and the wrong
way OF doing your washing.
Simple directions for washing n d
other household cleaning are printed on
the inside of the red and green wrapper.

Good Road Material.

Patteville Journal: We notice from
the exchanges on our desk that the
organization recently formed In Mil
waukee to improve the roads between
Milwaukee and Chicago, has decided to
come clear across the state to our zinc
mines for tailings for that purpose.
They claim that they have made tests
on short stretches and that they have
found nothing superior to the tailiags
which are right ut our door for the
asking.
The people away from here appre.
ciate the value of this product of our
mines and this Is shown by the fact
that within the last three years the st.
Paul road alone has carted out of here,
with the aid of steam shovels. $4,000
