 Last winter MT. Cobb, who as president of the Coosa River Electric Power com- pany, was in Philadelphia in connection with the business of his company, and in- cidentally learned while there that the lady whom he had met years before was temporarily residing with her family in that city.

which was taken after two hours of
oratory personalities. noise and smoke
freely intermingled. was BAT to 145,
and if the vote echoed the sentiment
Of the citizens of the city a decision

would not be a popular one.
The vote of the meeting means

The Color Tells
The Story.
P. s. G. Naphthd Soap is
white. That proves
its superiority.

P. & G. Naphtha Soap is
white-there is no rosin in it.
Ordinary naphtha soaps are
yellow-they contain rosin.
The yellower they are, the
more rosin there is in them.
Rosin is not especially
harmful; nor, on the other
hand, is it of any particular
value. But it is cheap, and
that is why most manufac-
