DELAY IN ISSUING
THE TEXT BOOK

NEW YORK, Sept 2-In political circles
It has become known that the unusual de-
lay in getting out the Republican cam
paign text book is due to President Roose-
velt's determination to have the German
tariff agreement made a part of the i'm
portant publication. In his views the Pres
ident is strongly opposed by members OF
the American Protective Tariff League as
well as by many prominent men in his
party and there is much speculation as to
what the outcome Of the trouble will be.
Meantime in circles which are not in
formed there is much mystery surround
ing the delay in putting out the campaign
book. Most important Of all campaign
documents, it is usually prepared early in
the summer, during the presidential year,
and is distributed broadcast over the coun-
try long before the campaign gets under
full swing. 1t was stated soon after Mr.
Hitchcock opened the New York head
quarters that the book would be pub
lished in the early part Of August. Later
It was said that II would be distributed
the latter part Of the month. No official
explanation for the delay was vouch-
safed until last week, when Richard "
Oulahan, head of the literary bureau de-
clared that there was some trouble with
the printer. The latest statement was that
the book would be issued in a week.

Talk about energyl

:. A half cake of Fels-Naptha soap can
display more energy in getting rid of dirt
in half an hour than an able-bodied
woman can in half a day.
But there's this difference: Much of
the woman'S energy is wasted.
When she rubS clothes hard on
washboard she wears out the clothes in
trying to rub out the dirt.
Fels-Naptha concentrates its energy
on the dirt-dissolves it into tiny particles
that are easily rinsed away without
harming the most delicate fabric.
And it does this in cool or lukewarm
water, without hot water or boiling, sum-
mer or winter.
Do you prefer to supply the dirt
removing energy yourself or to use that
stored up in cake of Fels-Naptha1
If you choose the easier and better
way, follow directions on the red and
green wrapper.
