Ask any doctor if there is a quicker
way to catch cold than to get all steamed
up and then go into the cold air.
Some women folks get colds like that
nearly every washday.
They do their washing in the old boil
ing way with hot fire and Steaming SudS.
The Fels-Naptha way of washing is
wonderful health-Saver.
1t takes away all danger of catching
cold.
The washing is done in cool or luke
warm water-no boiling or steaming, no
hot SudS
It's much easier, too.
You don't wear yourself out because
the Fels-Naptha does all the work-no
hard rubbing.
There are other reasons why you.=
should use FelS-Naptha Soap
1t doesn't take half as long as the old
way; saves fuel; much easier on the clothes
and makes them cleaner and sweeter.
But, if you value your health, that
alone is good reason for doing your wash
ing the Fels-Naptha way. In the Winter
or Summer.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

Piled to court officials for cards OF

that the trial would be of short dura-
ftion. 1t was expected that a jury would
be obtained early on Monday. when the
case is set, and that verdict would

ably not call any witnesses
Eugene Grace was shot sometime dur
1ng the night Of March 5, while asleep
at his home. No one heard the shot.
Grace dragged himself to the telephone
and managed to call the police late in
the day. Mrs. Grace, who left the bed
room early in the morning for brief
trip out of town, was charged by her
husband with the shooting, although
me said he was shot while asleep. Mrs.

STATE DEPARTMENT
HAS NO COMPLAINT
FROM MISSIONARIES
Korean Situation Not Such
as Would Warrant Interfer-
ence by United States.

Not single complaint has been re-
ceived at the State Department from
the American missionaries In Korea,
who are said to be subjected to indig-
mites and to face expulsion from that
country by Japan
Reports that the American Missionary
Society is about to file protest with
the state Department, have been re-
ceived In Washington ever since the
first stories from Korea reached this
country. Up to date, however, no ac-
ton has been taken.
For this reason the State Department
has been very slow to interfere with
Japan.
Basis of Plot Theory.
The Christian missionaries in Korea
are regarded as immune from inter-
ference, because Japan knows that the
various nations are prepared to pro-
tect their representatives at all times.
1t 10 limited that the leaders in the
plot to assassinate Count Perauchi, gov
ernor general of Korea, when they
found the Japanese officers hot on their
trail, focked to the missions for refuge
under the cloak of Christianity.
These deeds of violence give japan
reasonable grounds for believing that
there is definite terrorist movement in

Clare was another big undertaking
that was accomplished by the com
pany. The construction of the Eighth

Columbus Speech Drives
Business and Laboring Men
Away from Teddy.
EXPOSITION TO HELP
As President Taft Threw His
Influence for the Pa
ciRc Coast.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March O.
Representative julius Kahn, of Cal
ifornla, makes the following state
ment:
u have received hundreds OF let
tiers from business men and laborlns
men in my district since Colonel The
odcre Roosevelt made his Columbus
speach, and they all assure me that
California win positively send Taft
delegation to the Republican national
convention in Chicago next June. not
withstandlng the claims of Governor
Johnson.
The achievements of the present
administration are alone sufficient to
justify the denomination and re-elee-
ton of President Taft. But, in addi-
ton the fact that Mr.. Taft threw the
weight of his influence to secure the
location on the Pacific coast OF the
International exposition, which is TO
be held to commemorate the opening
Of the PanaTa canal, has not been
forgotten by the people of California.
They feel deeply grateful to the pres
ldent for his active interest in their
behalf and they are going to show
that appreciation by sending delegates
to Chicago to vote for his renomina-
ton and by working for him and vot-
ing for him next fall.
Right now six leading Republican
newspapers around the bay of San
Francisco that supported Johnson for
governor are now out for Taft. Gov
ernor Johnson received the Republic
can nomination in 1910 over four reg
ulars. II the votes, OF these regulars
had been combined on one candidate,
that candidate would have had the
nomination instead of Johnson. In
the campaign of 1910. Governor John
son had the support Of many leading
Democratic politicians These men
will not be for Taft or Roosevelt, but
will support their own party candi-
dates in national election. 4
"A large number of prominent pro-
gressives who were exceedingly active
in making the fight for Johnson for
governor have refused to follow him
into the Roosevelt camp. and are out
openly for Taft. Among these is A.
L. Shinn Who'll believe was the state
president Of the IAncoln-Ro osevelt
league. The number OF progresslves
Of California who have lined up with
Taft is exceedingly large. Under all
circumstances orr. Taft is bound to
carry the state by q good majority"
An enthusiastic meeting was held
in San Francisco Monday afternoon
by the women'e Taft Club. The pres
ldent was endorsed and all women in
California asked to support his can
didacy for denomination and re-elec-
ton. Hundreds of women's Taft
Clubs are being organized throughout
the state. 81 ~.lt
