Y Women who wash clothes with
Fels-Naptha soap are discovering new uses
for it every day. One woman has just
written us that it is the best possible thingto
clean porcelain bathtubs. So it is.
Also marble washstands, bowls, tiled
floors, linoleum, windows, woodwork
everything in fact which has washable
surface.
Fels-Naptha soap not only loosens the
idirt so it can be wiped off with cloth, but
dissolves it as well, scattering it into tiny
molecules which run away with the wash
water.
Even the human grease which collects
about the sides of bathtub after hot
bath-is dissolved by Fels-Naptha SO
thoroughly that none will adhere to the
wiping cloth.
Don't use hot water in cleaning things
with Fels-Naptha. 1t isn't necessary.
Fels-Naptha will do the work better in
cold or lukewarm water.
Follow the easy directions on the back
of the red and green wrapper.

duetlons Are Not Made He viii
Exercise His Veto Power.
Washington. July l7.-All doubt as
to where President Taft stands with
regard to the downward revision of
the tariff was swept away when a
statement was given out at the White
House. setting forth in detail what
the president had to say to twenty
three Republican members OF con
gress who called to protest against
putting raw materials on the free list
The president in this statement de-
clares that the Republican party is
committed to a downward revision;
that he has never had any other idea
OF the Chicago platform. and that he
personally has promised a downward
revision 70 the people
This statement Is interpreted In
some quarters here as a direct noti-
ncation TO the cOnferees on the tariff
bill that II the measure they finally
agree upon does not constitute a ma
terial reduction in specific duties the
president will exercise his power Of
veto.
Dictated in the third person. the
statement concludes with this final
word OF the presidents attitude as
outlined to his callers:
"He felt strongly the call Of the
country for downward revision with
in the limits OF the protective prin-
ciple. and he hoped to be able 10 re-
spond TO that call as he heard II. as
well In the interests OF the party as
OF the country"
Twenty-four hours would see the
end OF the work OF the conferees on
the tarir bill and a substantial agree
ment upon the questions at issue. but
forthe five propositions-iron. ore.
coal. hides. oil and lumber-upon
which the president stands firm for
radical reductions OF even abolition OF
the tariff This is the way the con
ferees describe the situation, and up
on Capitol Hill there are facetiously
calling these propositions the ma
tional Issues"
Great progress has been made by
the conferees. A preponderance Of the
differences in nearly all Of the sched-
ules have been adjusted.
