Soap in powder form is more con.

first and the best examples of soap pow

a soap because the quantity desired can
SOAP the whole cake or a portion of it
must be put into the water, not only
wasting more than is really needed, but
also soaking the rest of the cake with
water, which does not improve it. In
deed, some soaps lose much of their
goodness by leaving the unused part of
the cake in water
Even if only the amount of soap de-

This is why'I believe the proposed

chant and the banker and the profess
sional man and all the other men get

home, each has an equal right, and
each is willing to talk when he has
something to say and to listen when
the other fellow has something to say,
and let the united aim Of this club be
just one thing, Boost for MARSHALL

low. I am glad our citizens of every
faith and all political parties are talk

with malice towards none and with
charity for ALL" 1t Will COON prove it's
value in a better, bigger, and more

houses built in the next three months
to supply he demand.
In so doing Marshalltown would be-
come u great convention city and in
crease the population to 10000 at least
in two years time. Nothing can pos
slbly advertise a city 50 much as con-
ventions. Consider what conventions
have done for Ka' rs City, Des Moines,
Waterloo. Cedar Rapids and many
other places. These cities have been
building hotels each year and are
crowded to capacity
This should be made a greater rail-
road center and a greater division of
the Iowa Central railway We should
boost for an extension of the Story City
branch to the northwest. A gasoline
motor interurban line could be built
to Grundy Center, Newton, and other
places for less than half. the cost of
{ the electric line. These things give a
city a prosperous appearance and afford
an inducement for factories and whole
sale jobbing interests to invest their
capital in Marshalltown. Many prob
lens could be worked out thru the
Commercial Club new additions to the
! town with sewer and water extensions
! South Marshall with her fine building
locations, should be supplied with all
these advantages. j am for a club.

FAKE, SAYS
 JEFFRIES
Champion Nails Montreal Lie in Per.
 sOnal Statement.

Toronto, July 13.-James J. Jeffries
 was a sorely Vexed man when he was
 shown the report from Montreal
 printed all over the United States that he would not meet Jack Johnson in a contest for the heavyweight cham pionship title of the world. Jeffries was under the impression that the alleged interview was sent abroad with the intent to hurt him in the eyes of the American lover of pu- gilism and to injure his value as a theatrical attraction.
 He was emphatic in his contradic- ton of the statement that he would not meet Johnson. He said with an- ger in every tone:
 '"The statement that have repudi- ated my promise to fight Johnson is
 absolutely untrue"
 Then he hurried out to the park, where he had an afternoon and even- ing engagement. There his manager
 and sparring partner, Sam Berger, dic- tated this statement.
 There is absolutely no truth in the
 nor myself gave out any interview from which such story could have
 originated. Some weeks ago Jeff
 made a statement to the public that at the termination of his theatrical
 contract he would be ready to arrange
 a meeting with Johnson. That time
 is only two weeks off, and as has al-
 ways beep his policy with the public
 he will make good his promise by
 posting a forfeit. We hope then to
 satisfy those who have doubted his intention to defend his title as cham pion of the world.
