Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues of soap; his one
is enough. You can trust
a soap that has no biting
alkali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists
all sorts of people use it.

by order of the government, ceased his
warfare on the saloon men in the ter

however, claims a right to destroy all

all the beer it could find. Yesterday
at Coal Gate the militia attempted to

saloon door and defed the soldiers,
threatening to shoot the first man who
entered. The militia retreated. Later
it was learned that Gentilini was
