That old wooden tumble down building that was recently razed by order of court of common council To- cated in the business center of the city right in the business center of the city IS not to be replaced in the near fu- rure by building in keeping with the surroundings or the progress of the city. Instead of the new building there IS to be 8 high board fence erected along the front of the premises and which will probably be ultimately used as a bill board. While there was law for the removal of the old shack there is no law applicable to New London that will prevent the maintenance of a bill board in that business section. Now there is question which is the greater evil a dilapidated but occu- pied building or @ public bill board. But queer things are done in New London by queer New London people.
 Perhaps the most surprising in stance of this kind has come into evidence this week. The owner of a building in State street, in which he conducts a large business has permit ted the building front above the store to be plastered completely over by wild west circus posters, and perhaps for a few free passes to the show or tnelE equivalent. It IS an eXh1Dtt o1 lack of appreciation of the Municipal Art society efforts to even permit posters of this class to appear ir store windows, but when the front o1 the building is used as a bill boarc
 the limit is almost reached. It may
 be all right to post these bills on
 barn on a cheap farm in the country for the tickets there is in it, but wher the circus advance man succeeds il getting such a place of prominence foI his posters as a State street buildinl 1t is about time his salary was ma terially increased.

FelS-Naptha will take grease out of clothes in cool or lukewarm water.
 It loosens all kinds of grease quick as a wink, and tak keS out every trace of the spot.
 That's why butchers, and painters and machinistS' clothing can be washed better with Fels-Naptha than any otherwav.
 It's easier, too; in summer or winter requires no boiling, hot water nor hard rubbing, and makes better job of 1t.
 Because Fels-Naptha dissolves grease almost instantly, women who have tried it prefer FelS-Naptha to any other soap for washing dishes.
 There IS no necessity for putting the hands in hot water.
 Puts fine polish on glass and china.
 It is likewise superior in cleaning coats. or rugs, or curtains, or anything else that has become spotted or Soiled.
 In fact, you will find that anything cleanable can be cleaned quicker and better and easier with Fels-Naptha.
 And for laundry purposes, Fels-Naptha is a revelation to women who have always washed in the old-fashioned, washboiler- and-hard-rubbing way.
 Directions for all purposes are prin>9d on the back of the red and. green wrapper.
