we made ready for at least s,S0J per

a fortune from the convention.
Managers of other hotels upheld this
declaration, and even the employees had
a COMPLAINT. Theirs concerned the

A directly opposite view of the situa-

said their trade was excellent, and es-

ATLANTA. Ga, June 20.-With the
Democratic State Convention IN this
city next week will come William Jen-
nings Brvan's hardest fight TO retain

The Democratic state Convention will
be held Tuesday. Already both sides in

lined up each claiming victory.
The anti-Bryan forces are fighting
hard that an uninstTuCted delegation be
sent to Denver. This is their strongest
hope in their fight upon Organism
Friends Of Mr.. Bryan contend that this
hope is not a sign Of antagOnism at all
but simply the spirit OF independence.

Every woman knows what a nuisance
a hot fire is on a summers day.
Fels-Naptha is double blessing:
1t not only does the washing easier and
better, but it cleans the clothes in cold or
lukewarm water without a grilling fire to
boil them. No Over-heated kitchen; no
nauseating steam; no putting your hands
into hot water to rOughen and redden them.
Add to this advantage the saving of
time, labor, fuel and clothes, and you have
some idea why women who have once
washed with Fels-Naptha will. have no
other soap.
But you must wash the FelS-Naptha
way in cold or lukewarm water; never boil
the clothes or use boiling water
When you unwrap cake of
FelS-Naptha, pin the wrapper on the wall
in your laundry, and follow the plainly
printed directions.
Be sure it is red and green wrapper.
