The Different Kind Of Soar.

The Different Kind of Soap. That,
in a nutshell, is Fels-Naptha.
Diferent-because Fels-Naptha is
more than a soap-it is different way of
washing.
Diferent-because Fels-Naptha gets
the wash ready for the line in about half
the time of any other soap.
Diferent-because Fcls-Naptha itself
does the work of loosening the dirt from
the fabric, which every other soap leaves to
you to do with the washboard.
Different-because with Fels-Naptha
there's no backache: no need for long
bending over the tub, as with other soaps.
Different-because Fels-Naptha saves
the clothes: (1) from weakening of the
fibre by heat; ~ from the wear of hard
rubbing.
Diferent-because Fels-Naptha
actually does in cool or lukewarm water
what the best other soaps will not do even
in Scalding hot water.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper, summer or winter.

"The Cincinnati Enquirer Sees No
Hope for Bryan.

reached here this evening to the effect that The

that BRYAN could not possibly carry the west
as he was weaker there now than he was two
months ago THE Enquirer's' editorial fol-
lows:
News from the West. from all the country
west of the Ohio River gives ample evidence
that in every state of that vast region the Re-
publican party has divorced itself from the ele-
ment in its ranks that opposed or failed TO
heartily approve of the policies of President
Roosevelt The bold utterances. the loud
criticisms the abuse and revilings by politicians
and representatives of business interests nave
suddenly ceased against those pollcles,
date, the party Endorsement. popular approval
magnificent crops, and renewal OF prosperity
IT is difficult for an onloOker to see how the
Democrats can gain Republican votes IN the
West under these conditions. Their chance
was there three months ago, but the Republi-
can new alliance surely is now a barrier Mr.
BRYAN can offer greater inducements than
are now offered upon the bargain counter OF the
RanuhIican nartv in the West Not an impor-
tant radical Republican leader has bolted his
party Why should he under such favorabie
conditions to radical ideas? Not an important
conservative Republican can leave, Tor all otner
doors closed to him.
II does not look so favorable TO the Demo-
Gratis in the West as it did one month ago, q
fortnight ago or a week ago
The owner of THE Enquirer is JOHN r.
Mclean. a leader of Ohio Democrats and once
the party candidate for Governor.
Arthur l. Vorys, when informed o. the edi-
toria' said. while not surprising, 1t is crafty
