Suggestion May be Acted Upon
FaVorably by Congress

Suggestions made az recent hear

may lead 70 incorporation Of new pro-
visions in the proposed navigation re-

william Livingstone. president Of

The members II the senate sub
committee evinced some interest in
the plan. President Livingstone was
asked for information concerning the
number of life-saving stations on the
lakes, and suggested that the informa-
ton be secured from the commission
or Of navigation, who was present
The latter was requested 10 supply the
committee with the detail

should these stations be provided
with wireless equipment, the present
number OF wireless stations on the
lakes would be increased to a degree
which would greatly facilitate COM
munication with land for the passen-
ger steamers, practically all of which
traversing lake routes now have the
wireless system.
It is pointed out. too that the plan
would have the advantage Of placing
the nearest life-saving station in d.

Do your washing without fire next
time. Save the bother, the discomfort
and the cost of fuel
Wash your clothes with Fels-Naptha
in cool or lukewarm water, in summer
or winter.
It's much easier-no hard rubbing is
needed.
1t saves the clothes because there's no
boiling to weaken them and no hard
rubbing to wear them out.
1t takes less than half the time of the
old way.
And this Fels-Naptha way of wash
ing in cool or lukewarm water makes
your clothes cleaner, sweeter, and fresher
than if you boiled and hard-rubbed em
till Doomsday.
Don't take su bstitute for
Fels-Naptha because it will not do the
work.

and follow the directions printed on the
