What's the difference between
Fels-Naptha and other laundry soaps?
Other soaps work only when you
do. Fels-Naptha soap labors while you
rest, but without harm to the most
delicate fabric Should be used in
lukewarm or cool water-or you will
never know what a wonderful cleanser
it really is.
The Fels- Naptha way of washing
is as simple as it IS easy. You wet the
pieces to be washed, rub the soap on
we'll, then roll and put to soak for thirty
minutes
During this half hour Fels-Naptha
loosens the dirt and dissolves the grease.
Saves you all the hard-rubbing on
the dashboard. The dirt comes out
by light rubbing and rinsing. No
scalding nor boiling, and no swollen
knuckles or aching back from strenuous
dashboard work. You will know the
genuine Fels-Naptha by the red and
green wrapper.

Suicide on Fall River Boat.

NEW YORK. November 25.-The Fall
River steamboat Rhode Island got into
port early yesterday morning with a
suicide aboard. The callboy, Arthur
Stevens, went around arousing the pas
sengers as usual when the boat was off
College Point. He got no response when
he knocked at the door of room $50.
Stevens opened the door with a pass key.
The occupant of the room was lying in
his berth fully dressed, with hole from
a pistol bullet in his right temple. He
was still breathing family, although I'M
conscious.
When the boat locked at her pier at
the foot of Catherine street an ambulance
took the man to Hudson street hospital.
He died before he could be put on the
operating table.
All that is known about the man is the
name he gave the purser when he board
ed the boat at Fall River Saturday even
ing-Frank Bowers. No papers were
found on him. He was a prosperous
looking man of about sixty. with gray
hair and beard. He weighed $50 pounds,
and was dressed in black suit. with
black overcoat and derby.

Must Explain Late Trains.

ALBANY. N. Y. November 25.-The
New York Central Railroad Company has
been cited to appear before the public
service commission in the second district
at pm. December at Albany to ex-
plain the failure of the West Shore train
known as the Continental Limited. which
runs from Buffalo to Weehawken, with
connection to Albany, to keep its schedule
as shown in the time table. At the same
time hearing will be given to complaints
of residents along the line of the West
Shore between Albany and West Point.
No complaint as to the Continental Linn
tied has been filed with the commission,
which acted on reports of its inspectors.
Should it appear that the delays are due
to western connections, the commission
has requested the Central to show why a
separate train should not be run from
Albany at least as far south as New
burg.

UNION OF POSTAL CLERKS.
Chief Purpose to Secure Forty.
Eight-Hour Working Week.

NEW YORK, November 25.-An open
meeting Of the New York Local Union
No. 10 Of the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks was held yesterday afternoon
at Sschuetzen Hall. II st. Marks place,
for the purpose of adding new members
In order to make an effort in Congress
to secure the forty-eight hour working
week. While the eight-hour workday is
in operation. the clerks say they are
liable to be called on to work overtime
under present circumstances. Another
thing that they have decided to agitate
for is a vacation in every year Of thirty
days with pay.
Resolutions calling for a forty-eight
hour week for postal clerks have been
passed at the convention Of the American
Federation of Labor at Norfolk, Va,
and the federation stands pledged to use
all its influence to get bill passed pro-
viding for the forty-eight hour working
week. A. e. Rossdale, president of the
New York local Of the federation, opened
the meeting yesterday afternoon.
George Hiram Mann, general counsel of
the union, spoke at some length on the
need of the postal clerks standing to-
gether. There were some fines which he
believed were not in accordance with the
Constitution and many grievances which
only could be abated by legislation.

May Abolish Forward Pass.

ITHACA, n. Y, November 25.-One Of
the most prominent officials acting on the
foot ball field yesterday made the state
ment recently that this fall would see ab-
solutely the demise of the forward pass.
For obvious reasons, the official refused
to permit the divulgence of his name. but
his statement is backed up by such con-
elusive argument that it carries convic-
ton without the knowledge of the author
fty whence it comes. The main reason is
simply the impossibility of executing for
ward passes against team coached to
defend against them. and it all hinges on
the decision of the rules committee that
the forward pass penalty supersedes all
other penalties in event of an illegal or
uncompleted pass. The result must be
that this winter there will be wide dis
cusSiOn of the new rules.

\ Bloodless Fight Between a
Tablet and a Habit-The
Tablet Wins.

At the age Of % Clarence had good digestion.
He had gastric juice that could dissolve dough-
nuts and turn apple skins into good blood cor
puscles.
At the age Of "a he began to be profuse about
the waist and lean backwards. He also began
to cultivate several chins In his new-found pride
he began to thing it his duty to gorge himself
on everything the good and the bad, for appetite
feeds on appetite-and every good thing is
abused.
His pictures showed that he took weight
after he put his collar on.
At the age of 26 Clarence married and went TO
boarding On top of all this he attended oyster
suppers and wine dinners. which reduced the
size of his collar from 16La to 10. With still
abiding faith in the strength Of his stomach
he gulped his meals and cbewed them after
wards
At the age Of % Clarence began to hear
inward voce-a warning from the stomach. Az
ter each meal he would feel bloated-and belch-
ing became a habit.
He began to be a light eater-and a heavy
thinker He tried to think out a cure. for now
he would sit down at his meals absolutely dis
gusted at the thought or sight Of anything to
eat
He would sit down at his meals without tho
trace of an appetite, just because 1t was time to
eat.
He would often feel a gnawing, unsatisned
''still-hungry' feeling in his stomach. even after
he was through eating. whether his meal was
well cooked not.
And he suffered good many other things with
his stomach that he could not explain. but that
made him grouchy. miserable. QUITO sorts and
generally sour on everybody and everything.
Finally he read an account, something like this,
about the truly wonderful results obtained from
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stom
ach trouble, dyspepsia and so on He bought
