Four Dollars for a Cake Of soa

Soap has never been considered an extravaganza, but now that notion may change. since the new French imported soaps are costing from two to three and four dollars a cake, They are, however, deliciously scented, and one may take pardonable pleasure in using such toilet article Each cake comes in little box, and is satin covered; they are quite a suitable item for the travelling bag of the bride, for which the most exquisite trifes are always sought out.

Says Crisis Has Passed and Menace Averted in Repub-
 liCan Party.
ELECTION IS A MINOR ISSUE
Wants His Private Secretary, Chas. D. HiIes. 10 Manage
 His Campaign.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington. Taft, late Saturday night, after he had been nominated. made the following state ment.
 "A national convention of one of the great parties is ordinarily import ant only as preliminary to aa- ticnal campaign for the election of president The Chicago conyen- tion just ended is much more than this and is in itself the end of a pre- convention campaign. presenting crisis more threatening and issues more important than those of the election campaign which is to follow between the two great national par ties. The question here at stake Was whether the Republican party was to change it's attitude as the choice of the conservator of the ra- tion of constitutional representative government and was to weaken the constitutional guarantees of life, lib- erty and property and all other rights declared sacred in the bill of rights, by abandoning the principle of the absolute independence of the judici- ary, essential to the maintenance of those rights. The campaign carried on to seize the Republican party and make it the instrument of reckless ambition and the unsettling of funda- mental principles of our government was so sudden and unexpected that time was not given clearly to show to the people and the party the dan gers which confronted them.
 Says Menace Is AVerted.
 Tt was sought to break the W.sa tradition against giving more than two terms 10 any one man in the presidency, and the danger from it's breach could not be measured The importance of the great victory which has been achieved cannot be oyeresti- mated. All over this country patri- otic people tonight are breathing more freely that most serious mon. ace to our Republican institutions has been averted
 Tt is not necessary tonight 10 speak of the result in November. ROT of the issues which will arise be- tween the Republican and Democratic parties in the presidential campaign to follow. It will be time enough 70 do that after the action of the Bal. tmore convention. It is enough now To say that whatever may happen in November, a great victory for the Re- publican party aud the United States has already been won The party re- mains as great, powerful organi2a- tion for carrying out it patriotic prin- eiple as an agency of real progress in the development of the nation along the constitutional lines on which if vas constructed and has ever beon maintained, and it's future opportu7i. ies for usefulness is as great as is achievements in the past"
 Wants Him for Chairman.
 President Taft declared he was much Tn favor of having his secre- tary. Charles n. Hilles. for chairman of the Republican national commit. tee. He has expressed a high op;n. lon Of MT. Hille's work ia the pre-con. Yention campaign. When asked if bs would take the stump this fall. the likely that he would He was plain. ly elated at his victory when ti 2 complete results became known.

Big Feet and

CHICAGO, March Cdr. Helen r.

has hat kind herself, and said she
spoke with authority. Bits of advice
and philosophy that marked her talk
were the following:
81 am happy to know that Chicago
ONE have the reputation of having
big feet. We must live up to it and
cultivate the growth of our feet.
Everybody ought to wear sandals
in the house; children should go bare
foot as much as possible-it makes the
feet grow. Never wear the same pair
of shoes two days in succession. 1t
retards the growth of the feet.
big feet are an indication of an
amiable temperament.
big intellects do not go with small
feet. Cultivate large feet; the intellect
will grow automatically.
when men and women reach 40 ii
is common for them to grow feshy.
How much better, how much more
comfortable, if they have big feet to
carry the added weight"

ism means unwavered support of Theo-
