What Il Is That
Hurts the Hands
on Washday

So many women hurt their hands On
wa.hday because the skin is constant
" in contact with hard rubbing
board after beng softened and chap
ped BY steaming hot water. Almost
invariably it is rubbing and boiling
that injuries the skin-not the soap,
as some women think.
But you can always be sure Of your
soap, and avoid boiling water and
hard rubbing at the same time. when
you use Fel.-Naptha.
Fel,-Naptha does not nri.ate the
hands or skin, and il eliminates the
cause OF most washday ohAhng by
producing splendid result, in cool or
lukewarm water.
II YOU would prevent injury to the
hands, Try the Fels-Naptha way next
