COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 22.-As re-
suit of the primaries held in Ohio
counties February Il, there is NO long
er the slightest doubt that Secretary
william H. Taft will have the enthu.
slastic aud loyal support Of every one
of the 40 Ohio delegates to the Re
publican national convention. In
Ohio this has been realized by all
for many weeks. In some sections
outside Of the state, where mislead-
ing reports have been circulated, the
claims Of a divided Ohio delegation
were set at rest only when the result
of the primaries became known.
Although Senator ]. B. Foraker re-
fused to have anything personally to
do with the pimaries, his followers
in one county presented ticket OF
delegates to the State convention in
opposition to the Taft ticket. This
test of strength Is considered more
than fair to the senator. When the
votes in this county were counted. 1t
was found that the followers of Sec
rotary Taft had received more than
four times the support accorded their
opponents.
simultaneously with the selection
Of delegates to the State convention,
delegates to IL of the 81 congress
sional districts were selected. Each
district witnessed repetition of the
general State result. Unprecedented
reports Of the day declared that no
where did opposition worth mention
ing develop. The other congressional
districts have yet to provide for their
conventions. but are composed of
counties which send solid Taft dele
cations to the State convention, and
will send similar delegations to the
congressional convention. Congress
sional conventions have now been
held in the First and Second district
(Cincinnati), the Twelfth district. Geo.
lumbus), the Fifteenth district.
(southeastern Ohio), and the Twenty
first district (Cleveland). In all of
them Taft delegates to the national
convention have been selected under
unanimous instructions.

SINKS AND DRAINS A FIRE.
QUENT CAUSE OF TYPHOID

Purify These and You Will Be Safe
From COntagion - Disinfecting
the Only Preventative-Borax,
Simple, Safe and Sure Method.
How to keep our homes clean, sweet
and free from germ influences is
question.
While there is no occasion for
alarm, it is always well to be fore
armed on the theory that IAN Ounce
of Prevention Is Better Than Pound
of Cure" and no ounce of prevention
has yet been discovered that is more
simple, more direct and more effec-
tive, yet harmless to the human sys-
TEN, than 3orax.
Borax has been known and used for
generations as a purifier and proven
tive against epidemic influences orig
mating from uncleanly conditions re-
sulting from unsanitary sinks and
drains, and when used as a hot solu-
ton in the proportion OF two table,
spoonfuls to a gallon of hot water
flushed through the offending loca-
tions, removes every trace of disease
germs and renders the pipes clean
and wholesome.
Borax in addition to its hygienic
qualities, is a household necessity,
aud can be used for numberless do
mestic purposes. 1t softens the water,
makes linen dazzling white, will
cleanse every article in the kitchen
or dining room and make it bright,
will prevent moths, soften and whiten
the skin, remove dandruff and cleanse
the scalp, and for cleansing and ster-
fixing baby's milk bottle and nipple
has no equal.
Borax, unlike every other cleanser
and disinfectant, is absolutely harm
less to the system, and is safe, simple
economical, and can be purchased at
any druggist or grocery. A dainty
book in colors, called the Jingle
Book, will be sent free to any Mother
