First Paiter-We've called to inform you Anty, that
YOU are elected an honorary member Of the Painters
Union
Second That's because you told our wives how
to save US money by washing our white suits with
Fes-Naptha instead of sending them to the laundry.
The suits last three times as long

shoemakers, miners, raiwaymen and plasterers"
In all households there is a deal Of
cleaning and scrubbing to do at the end of
the week. Use Fels-Naptha. 1t does the
cleaning easily, and makes the house
cleaner and brighter.
Fels-Naptha whitens floors, brightens
painted woodwork and brings out the colors
In 0il-cloth and linoleum. 1t cleans polish
cd hardwood floors and vanished surfaces
without dulling
1t cleans and polishes windows, and
the glass in china closets or bookcases.
Makes the glass shine like sparkling crystal.
Every woman knows that a porcelain
bathtub is hard to keep white and clean.
Fels-Naptha and a soft cloth keep it shin
ing and SpotleSS with very little work. Same
for thing or mirrors.
And Fels-Naptha does all this in cold
or lukewarm water No need of fire to
heat water; and you don need a Scrubbing
brush. Sound easy, doesn't it? And it IS
as easy as 1t sounds.
Try it in your cleaning this week.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

FIGHT TO EDUCATE A CHILD.
Twelve-Year-old ceIIist, Barber's
Daughter, Is Musical Genius.

New York.-Helene Scholder, the 12-
year-old cello prodigy, has been grant
ed permission by the courts to go to,
Europe to continue her musical educa-
tion there.
The decision is the elimination of
remarkable lawsuit between a New,
York cello instructor and the girls ia
Their. Maurice SchoIder.
Like her elder sister, Henrietta. who
attained fame as a child pianist,
Helene Scholder had the unusual ex-
perience of seeing wealthy men and
women vie with one another for the
privilege of giving her a musical edu.
cation. There was litigation before
Henrietta was allowed to go to Eu-
rope to study also.
In the case of Helene the father had
signed ten-year contract with Prof.
Karl Grienauer to leave the child4un-
der his tutelage. A dispute arose, and
Scholder had an opportunity to send
the girl to Europe
Then the professor applied for an in
junction to restrain Scholder from
sending Henele away. The application
has just been thrown out by Judge
Leventritt in the supreme court.
Scholder, the father of the musical
children, is barber. His ambition
was to become a professor of music.
but lack of funds interfered and he
became a hairdresser, sitting the pas
sion for music.
His eldest daughter, Henrietta, has
just returned from Vienna, where she
spent four years under Theodore

bills for tuition were paid by Gen.

small-sized army of heavily armed
men combined herds of 10000 sheen
are being driven from the summer
ranges in Montrose county, Col. to
the winter ranges in Utah.
In order to reach this latter sec

that portion of the western slope
heretofore used exclusively bv cat

age done by sheep to grazing lands.
cattlemen strenuously object to their
presence in any numbers whatsoever
and frequently in the past attempts
to drive across a cattle range have re-
suited in assaults on the herds. muir
ders and the wholesale slaughter of
sheep as warning that the offenses
must not be repeated.
This year the flock masters who
summered their sheep in Montrose
county combined for protection and
are driving their animals in one big
bunch in charge of 80 herders with 90
armed men as guards. This typical
western caravan has so far met with
no determined opposition.
