Hasn't the
,u Kooti trinlfv
dress made just one thing more to wash. Une
thing more to scrub and boil and get hot
and tired over. It seemed as if you'd never
get through washday.
But now there is a new way without any
of the toil and drudgery that used to make
washing so terrible. Try it just once the
new Rinso way.
Rinso is the new form of soap in granules
for your family washing. You soak your
clothes in the rich suds overnight. Or for three
bours iu the morning. Then rinse that's all.
A o hard rubbing no boiling
You do away with rubbing except for very
badly soiled places, such as collars, wrist
bands and hems. And these you need only
rub lightly between your bands. Rinso is so
pure and so high in cleansing value it simply soais
the dirt out of the clothes. Then, when you
xinse, the dirt floats right out
You do away with boiling entirely unless
jou wish to boil your clothes, occasionally, to
sterilize them. You do away with half the
wear on your clothes. Because it's the hard,
rubbing and boiling that wear out the fabrics
and fade out the colors.
Use Rinso for 3our whole washing. Get it
from your grocer today. The easy directions

Russians Robbed on Leaving.
Russian immigrants now leaving the
United States for Europe are being
systematically exploited as they depart
by agents of private business concerns
who are selling them free government
documents at exorbitant prices. Ac
cording to a recent ruling of the state
department, departing Russians are
furnished with allidavit of nationality,
in lieu of passports. These affidavit
forms are supposed to be obtainable
without charge from immigration in
spectors, but private bankers, steam
ship agencies and notaries public have
in some way obtained a large number,
which they are selling at from $5.00 to
15.00 apiece.
