The old-fashioned wash-boiler way OF
washing clothes is bad enough in Summer
when it can be done out of doors.
In the Winter, when four walls keep
in all the steam and all the nauseouS odorS
so you have to stew in them, washing
clothes that way is drudgery OF the most
disagreeable kind.
Are YOU foolish enough to continue it?
You won't be when you have once
done your washing the Fels-Naptha way
I'm lukewarm water.
No boiling of clothes: No steam iur-
kish bath to redden and blOtch your face.
No smells. No back-breaking work.
Washing with Fels-Naptha in luke
warm water is just as pleasant in Winter as
in Summer.
Try it next washday. All that's neces-
sarv is to follow simple directions printed
on the red and green wrapper.

CAPT. M'HoRNEYS STORY.

one OF the braycst men who ever won

died a few years ago from disease
that was indirectly the result of the
injuries received during the struggle
with Nose Nogcl, and shortly before
death sealed his lips told me this
story:
THE capture OF Vogei Dago Frank

OF a woman. Her name was Mrs.
Francis, as recollcct It, and she ran
n boarding house over Tarew's oyster
saloon, which adjOined the bank. One
Of the thleves-Vogel, ! think-hired
a room from her on the second floor,
witch adIoined the bank on the east
and opened studio as n blind.
Every morning regularly Mrs
Francis was called into the studio by
the sculptor to clean up the place
The floor she always found covered
with marble dust and chips of stone
and an elegant screen stood in front
of tho fireplace. The sculptor always
sat near the screen with big apron
on and chatted pleasantly with his
landlady.
Things went on for week or more
In this way. The sculptor kept ham
mering away, and Mrs. Francis en-
joyed her morning call. II was alonf
about housekeeping time, and Mrs
Francis started In one morning t
clean the windows on the sculptor
floor.

We personally recommend and

We have such absolute faith IN
the virtues of this remedy that we
sell it on our guarantee of money

fails to give entire satisfaction,
and we urge all in need of such
medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just
