Peek-a.soo Socks.

Many men wear peek-a-boo socks,
not because they are in style. but be-
cause their wives use inferior strong
laundry soaps. The free alkali and
rosin contained in these soaps rot the
material and as q consequence the
poor men are blamed for being hard
on their socks"
This can be avoided by the use Of
Hewitt's Easy Task Soap. Twenty
i've years of use have proved its
worth. Five cents cake.

Revelations Made Likely to Bring

Columbus, O.-Representative Owen
]. Evans Of Stark county has con-
fessed that he had taken bribe of
S1oo in connection with the salary
loan shark bill. He paid fine of $500,
then went before the grand jury and,
according to apparently authentic re-
ports, told all that he knew regarding
legislative bribery. Details believed
to have been given the investigating
body by Evans are expected to result
in many new indictments, some
against persons not hitherto suspected
or else believed to be out of reach of
inconvertible evidence. With the
confessions of Evans and House Clerk
Charles w. Kempel, the real sensa-
tions in the mess of Legislative rotten
ness are in sight. This is the con-
fident prediction of states attorneys
and the fear of some members Of the
general assembly as we'll as the lobby
lists who have dealt with such

Kempel secured immunity. Evans
was granted virtual immunity, al
though the fine of $500 was imposed
and paid. BY pleading guilty Evans

The Evans confession followed a
