LIGHT STANDARDS ARE PAINTED WHITE The cluster light pedestals are being painted white in the 1600 block. Such operations indicate that the city council, which held an ad verse attitude to painting the stand ards at the 1600 block banquet recent ly, has later approved of the plan. At the banquet attended by the city commissioners and Mayor H. M. Schriver the mayor was not in favor of the plan to paint the posts white and made a speech against it. He held that another block of the city might want to adopt the "red" or "blue" block as a name and subsequently paint lamp standards in their blocks red or blue. The work of putting on the first coat of paint on buildings in the 1600 block has been completed and a sec ond will soon be applied.

The hard way means long hours standing on your feet, doing the hundred and one things that housewives have to do every day in the year. It means hot fires, over heated kitchens, scrubbing, rubbing scouring. On washdays it means steam ing boilers full of clothes and hours spent bending over washtubs and boiler. The easy way means to let Fels-Naptha Soap do the hard things for you. It whitens clothes and makes the dirt disappear, without hard rubbing or boiling. It dissolves grease on pots and pans. It cleans paint and wood work. Use cool or lukewarm water. Anty Drudge Helps Another Over worked Woman lira. Muehwork "Well, I give up ! I can't stand on my feet another minute.
