 On Tuesday afternoon will be the annual meeting of the historical society and this will be one of the notable features of this conference. This being the cen tennial year of Alabama Methodism the historical society will specially celebrate this event The speaker for this oc- cason is Rev. Dr. J. M. Mason of Eu- faua.
 A no less notable feature of the coa- ference will be the reception rendered the members of the conference and the visitors at the Southern university or Thursday afternoon by the alumni asso- citation of that institution. By the way, many of the most prominent members of this conference are alumni of the South ern university. This is also true of the members of the North Alabama confer ence. Seven out of eight of the new presiding elders of the North Ala ba;na conference are former students Of the Southern university and most of the leading stations in that conference s,re filled by it's alumni. But the influence of this grand old institution does not stop within the boundaries of these two conferences but extends throughout the land Of course we here are all proud of it and of the influences that it has

The trustees of the Southern university will meet during the session of the con- fernce and it is not at all improbable that they will fill the chair of history at this meeting.
 The members of the Alabama confer ence are intensely interested In the Col lege for Girls to be established at Mont gomery. This matter is very near to their hearts and they have already gladly given the amount asked of them.

Every woman inheritS certain ways of
doing homework from her mother as the
mother did from her grandmother. One
> of these ideas from ancient times concerns
Z the washing of clothes. "BoiI EN-, Boil
lfem good, is the old tradition. Until the
invention of Fels-Naptha soap that was the
only way to wash Now, isn't it foolish
to keep on boiling clothes, and rubbing
them hard, when a way to wash better in
cold or lukewarm water with no hard rub
bing has been found1
Clothes last longer with no boiling to
weaken their fibre. Every progressive
woman is glad to get rid of the hot fire,
steam and sudS, as well as the back-break-
ing work of hard rubbing.
But there's right way and wrong
way to use Fels-Naptha. Start right. Fol
low the directions on the wrapper and
you'll have better, easier, cleaner way of
washing For other reasons which are ex-
planned on the red and green wrapper,
Fels-Naptha is just as superior for all kitch-
en- purposes as it is for washing.

out of a rear window, taking sash

from her fingers, blood all over the

On his arrival at Austin. Mimi,
Edwards waited for someone to

.SIRAUS CLAIMS
. BIG RAKE OFF

Owing to the great expense Of
building the Washington st. con-
crete bridge the city will be COM
PEELED to pay j. B. Straus, the en-
gineer who drew the plans, more
than $4,000. In an agreement with
the Wallace-Coates Engineering Co.
Of Chicago the city is to pay 3 per
cent of the cost Of the work for
drawing of plans. The first esti-
mate. of the cost was $4,000, but
it is claimed that it will now total
more than $4,000.
Straus lately severed his bust
ness relations with the Wallace
Coates Co. and the money for the
Washington bridge plans was as
signed to him. The board of works
consulted with the corporation
counsel on the matter this morn
ing.
