Mrs. Apartment - "It's the
hardest thing to get hot
water here; you're not
supposed to do any wash
ing in the rooms. And
when I do get hot water
it takes SO long TO wash
that the rooms get awful
smelly"
Antg Drudge -" "Why don't
you use Fels-Naptha Soap?
Then you won't have to use
hot water and will get
through in a jiffy."
To women who
live in apartments
the W a S hin g of
clothes is a prob
lem. The solution
FelS-Naptha Soap.
Say you have a
shirtwaist or other
small things, that
you don't want to
send out to be wash
ed. You can do
much b etter at
home in this way:
Wet the clothes,
soap we'll with Fels-
Naptha, roll and
leave to soak in cool
or lukewarm water
for a short time.
Then rub lightly,
rinse and dry.
Takes but one
fourth the time and
one-tenth the work
of the old way. Also
saves the clothes.

] man should have left off what
! is commonly called Rouse

I The sun is too high; educa-

Z must use common sense, study
: the scriptures, prepare along all
lines, and give the people some
8 thing to help them
This morning the conference
was opened with the usual ex-
J erclses incident to a Methodist
! conference. The minutes were
! approved and several young men
! who applied for admission were
! turned back because they were
not prepared from a literary
! point Of view.
The Bishop says he will not
! pass any more ignorant men
into the service wherever he
presides.
Rev. B. L. WiIford and Rev.
w. S. Grumbles, both white
: pastors of the city, made inspir-
ing speeches to the conference,
! and highly comp1inented Dir.
J. G. Robinson for the work he
has accomplished, and the stand
y he has taken for civic purity dur
ing his short stay in Newport,
y and said: eff Bishop, YOU do
y not return Dr.. Robinson to us
= the white people are expecting
y you to send us a man Of high
4 character and one who will fight
: sin as DIR. Robinson has.
: Dr. Robinson secured the court
