a helping hand on washday.

helping hand on washday.
And mighty big help, too.
If neighbor came in and did three
fourths of your weekly washing, she would
be doing as much as Fels-Naptha will do
for you if you wish.
Fels-Naptha will dissolve and loosen
the dirt in your clothes while they soak in
cool or lukewarm water.
Then, with light rub and thorough
rinsing, they're ready for the line.
No boiling; no hard rubbing; in sum-
mer or winter.
And your clothes will be sweeter,
cleaner and whittier than if you boiled them
till Doomsday.
Take advantage of this helping hand
next washday and the drudgery of washing
clothes will be ended for you.
Follow directions printed on the back
of the red and green wrapper

Oakland PatrOlman Thinks Rev.
John A. HOllars Was Arrest
ed for Drunkenness

OAKLAND, June 24.-Patrolman John

If their suspicious are we'll founded,
James Holmes, who was arrested for

missing man, he recalled James Holmes,
who was lodged for drunkenness at the
city prison one night when Fahy was
jailer.
The policeman wrote at once to Cap
tain Lynch, and the letter was deliv
cred today by J. J. Wentworth of 220S
Twenty-fourth street with whom the
pastor formerly lived, and who CHANGED
to be in Black Diamond when Fahy
heard of the disappearance.
Both Captain Lynch and Captain OF
Detectives Petersen believe from the
descriptions that Hollars and Holmes
were one. According to the police file
Holmes was arrested early June 4
Some women had telephoned to the
police that a drunken man was lying
in the stairway at 513 Thirteenth street
and they feared to enter the building
At the station the intoxicated person

LOS ANGELES, June 24-Prostrated
with grief over the tragedy that has

Gilbert Woodfll is unable tonight to add
ANYTHING to what has been learned of
the circumstances leading to the af-
fair which will tend in any way to
solve the mystery or it. Woodill has
been confined to his bed and under the
care of a physician since noon today,
when he was informed of the death of
his wife. He says that he had but a
slight acquaintance with the man who
is suspected OF numbering his wife,
and really knows nothing about him.
He believes there could have been but
one incentive for the murder, and that
robbery. A letter receivd by Woodill
from his wife this morning contains
nothing to throw light on the affair.
Gerald Woodill. brother OF Gilbert
Woodill while reticent in regard to the

object of this advertising was, but they
understood that he was searching for
the parents of his wife.
