HOBOKEN, n. J.. Feb. 1.-The
widows and WidoWers' Club, Of Hud-

by grief. It IS ia imminent danger Of
disinteeration. And all because its
founder. organizer. president. and NOV

himself another wife.
And-whisper-he didn't marx a

The new Mrs. Iangner was Miss

place wednesday. The club had no

DEMONETIZE GOLD,
IS KANSAN'S PLAN
Would Show Europe That
We Can Get Along With
out Her Metal.

The number Of financial panaceas that
arc being proposed, incident 10 the
money discussion, is declared to be
greater even than it was in 1886
The money question is fairly before
the country. Whatever Congress does
at this session, public men recognizes
that currency problems are Inevitably
going 20 demand much attention during
The coming political campaign. The
most marvellous schemes Of Utopian re-
organization Of the currency system
crowd the daily mail of Senator's and
Representative. They come as books,
pamphlets, circulars, letters, and. as a
rule. the amount OF space occupied, and
the degree OF confidence Of the author in
the efficacy Of his remedy. are about in
inverse ratio 10 the real knowledge rep
resented by the suggestions.
As might lave been expected, the
most striking contribution comes from
a man in Kansas. He says in a pamph-
let called "The True Money System for
the United States" that the real thing
now IS to demoneuze gold.
Not that he would remonetize silver at
the same time. Not at all. Half the
work of financial reform was accom-
monetized. But the other half demands
attention Then he would abolish gam
bling in bonds stOcksc, and provisions "
In support OF his scheme Of demoue-
ttZnE gold. this author-his name is 7.
b. Watkins, and he lives at Lawrence
preCents the most startling money arRu-
ments yet heard. He points out that
Europe could ruin this country at any
tine by Withdrawing gold from us;
therefore. we should make ourselves in
dependent by beating EN- 10 it-abolish-
Ing gold.
just what Dir. Watkins means by the
scheme with which he proposes 70 re-
place the CemOneUEed gold is not very
clear from his statement of 10. Anyhow,
il SENS to involve issuing plenty OF
bonds, at very low rates of interest aud
having money Issued against them Mr.
Watkins indicates that IL Is easy as roll
ing of a log for the country to have
plenty OF m0ney-and every dollar OF IL
just as good IS every other dollar.
And the joke Of beating our European
oppressors out of their opportunity 10
put the screws on us by demanding our
gold at incOnvenient times appeals TO
him as humorous enough 20 justify its
adoption just by way Of showing that
we don't have TO Worry about the aid or
consent OF any other nation on earth.

Why did your grandmother boil dirty
clothes? To soften and loosen the dirt.
That's the only way she knew. Now
Fels-Naptha soap will do the loosening
better in cold or Iukewarm water.
FelS-Naptha is an invention, same as the
telephone or sewing machine.
The up-to-date woman uses
Fels-Naptha because it saves her the trouble
of boiling clothes or heating water and
makes hard-rubbing unnecessary. Then
her clothes are fresher and cleaner than if
washed in the old-fashioned, boiling way.
Here's the way to do your white things
with Fels-Naptha: Soap, roll and let soak
a short time in cold or lukewarm water,
then rub lightly, rinse and hang on the
line. Try it once.
Be sure to follow directions on the
red and green wrapper.
