Why did your grandmother boil dirty
clothes1 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 lukewarm 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.

Woman, Shot Through the Body.
Suffers Little and VIII Get Well.

tzeulah Meadows, a negroes, was shot
bv Ellie Hugh Grace, a negro man,
yesterday afternoon at $50 o'clock and
her body was pierced by the bullet. The
shooting occurred on Marshall Street
in West End. The woman is not Sc
riously hurt, and unless blood poison
ing sets in. will be perfectly recovered
in a few days.
Iseulah Meadows walked into the po-
under the escort of two officers and
told her tale to Special Ofiicer Smith.
She did not seem to be suffering much
pain. though a powder begrimmed hole
In her apron showed where the ball of
a 32-calibre pistol had pierced her body.
To Mr. Smith she stated that she was
at her mothers home on Marshall
Street attending to some washing. when
Grace entered the house and began
swearing at his wife. who was also In
the house at the time. He finally pro-
duced pistol, SO she states, and
threatened to kill his wife, who re-
treated out of his way.
Beulah attempted to shut a door in
his face, she says, to hinder his pur-
suit, but the enraGed man thrust open
the door and fred upon her, wound
ing her in the groin. The ball did
not stop in the body. but passed
through. The surgeon called in on
the case stated that the wound was not
serious, but that there was a slight
danger of blood poison in which event
the results were to be feared. He said
however. that had the course of the
ball varied by lis Of an inch the
woman would have bled to death before
medical attention could have been given
her.
