Anty Drudge-"Naphtha nothn'! Couldn't get little

tell you these limitations don't have the continuation
that's in Fes-Naptha soap, and won't wash clothes
the Fels-Naptha way. Here's where | quit trading
with you."
We are sometimes asked by housewives
|if Fels-Naptha soap is as good for washing
lclothes in winter as in summer. Better, II
that is possible.
! The best thing about Fels-Naptha is that
you don't have to boil the clothes either
winter or summer. And because boiling is
more disagreeable in winter, Fels-Naptha
is greater blessing then. In the winter
doors and windows are closed and the
nauseous odor of boiling clothes cannot
escape to the open air; then, too, steam
loosens and wrinkles wall paper. And
chapped hands are caused by dipping them
in hot water and then exposing to the cold.
n You don't need hot water in washing
with Fels- -Naptha. But be sure and use 1t
the Fels- -Naptha way. Follow the dlrec~
tons on the red and green wrapper. -

MUST PAY EXAMINERS
SAYS SUPREME Court
WHITMAN COUNTY PROSECCT-
ING ATTORNEY UNWILLING TO
GIVE Up FIGHT.

Although the supreme court has
ruled that examiners who check up
city, town and county books can get
their pay from the municipality
checked, Prosecuting Attorney Paul
PattiSon is still unwilling to accept
the decision as binding.
A suit was brought by the state
auditor against the auditor of Thur
stOn county to compel the issuance
of a warrant in payment of the salary
of the examiners who checked the
books of Olympia. The contention
was that the law was a violation of
the constitutional provision that the
state could not levy against any
municipality for municipal purposes.
The court declares the purpose of
the law is state rather than munici-
pal. 1t says, "A proper system of ac-
counting with proper supervision
tends to prevent defalcatiOnS and en-
beZzlement, and the loss TO the pub
lie funds in many ways that can be
readily conceived and the state in
the exercise Of this power or duty,
and in providing the method, is in no
way infringing upon the constitution
al rights of the municipality as to
elf-gOyernment."
In the face of this decision Attor-
ney Pattison wishes to carry up a
case from Whitman county, giving as
his reason the fact that the supreme
court is divided into two departments
and only one department with five
justices heard this case and only
three concurred in the majority
opinion. He wishes to have the case
considered by the full court Of nine
justices.
Expense vouchers, approved by the
state auditor, for the work Of ex-
aminers in checking the books of Ro-
salia, Lamont and Maiden as we'll as
for a months work on the books of
Whitman county are in the hands Of
Auditor McCrOskey and still unpaid
Without doubt the state auditor will
bring action to compel the payment
of these claims if they are not settled
at an early date.
