ONE PROSECUTORS WAY
Williamson County States Attorney
Saye He Does Work Of Reporter
To Get Evidence.

The States Attorney of Williamson
county is getting up reputation Of
winning almost every case he starts
out to win, He is said to have plan
that works well in being personally
acquainted with the main facts in
each case. He practically assumes
the attitude and duties of a reporter
on daily newspaper, at the time a
criminal offense Is committed. He
obtains the evidence Of witnesses at
the time a deed is done and has wit
nesses to corroborate the testimony of
the interviewed. Of course this testi-
mony Is not sworn to but he nas
found by this method that the LA
bility of the defense to fix the prose
cutting witnesses Is greatly les2ened
and most of them would hardly dare
to deny their original statements. If
he finds that he has unquestionabe
evidence and preponderance of it
he goes to work to prosecute with a
ezal that is almost sure to bring con
viction..

Soap is soap said woman. Her
/ only idea of soap was something to mix
with hot water in order to makea steaming
suds. She thought it didn't matter which
kind she used and it didn't.
But if she had used Fels-Naptha in the
way it should be used, in cold or lukewarm
water, she would have learned that
Fels-Naptha is not only soap but differ
lent way of washing.
A sewing machine is of no use to
woman who doesn't know how to use it.
Neither is any other labor-saving device.
Before you use cake of Fels-Naptha,
then, read carefully the directions printed
ION the back Of the red and green wrapper.
The directions will tell you how to make
tFels-Naptha do the hardest part of your
washing, without hot fires, without steam
ing suds, without boiling or back-breaking
Ehard labor. 1t will cave your clothes, save
time, save fuel, save your health and the
clothes will be cleaner and whittier than
ever before.
But not un less you use it the
Fels-Naptha way. Look for the rcd and

A FLY DESTROYER.

Scientists have told us such terrify-
ing stories about the destruction to life
conveyed to us by the bite of the
housefy that the average housewife
is making more than the usual effort to
rid her house of these annoying pests.
Fly paper was never a satisfactory
means Of catching the willy fly. 1t was
much more likely to catch human
victim. This season we have a new
trap. which is said to be far and away
better than any other invention Of the
kind. The illustration shows one Of
these devices. 1t is made of tin and is
five and half inches high. The lower
portion is perforated into twenty-five
corrugations for the flies to travel up
to the upper chamber. The top of the
upper portion is perforated, admitting
light and keeping the flies there. The
trap by means of the ball is suspended
anywhere that the pests are apt to
congregate. Bait must be placed in
side the trap. To empty the trap all
there is to do is to hold it under the
hot water faucet and turn on the wa
ter. The deceased can then be readily
removed by pulling the trap apart and
emptying and again made ready for
use.-Hardware Magazine.

These pillows are usually finished
