Here's the easiest way that's ever been
discovered to wash clothes-either in sum
mer or winter.
For the white things: Wet the clothes,
soap we'll with Fels-Naptha, roll and let
soak for thirty minutes in cool or ukewarm
water. Unroll, rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry.
That's all; no boiling, no hard rub
bing, no hot water.
This simple Fels-Naptha way of wash
ing makes your clothes Swecter, whittier,
cleaner than you can get them any other
way.
And the clothes last longer because
they are not weakened by boiling, nor
worn by hard rubbing.

Roosevelt thought of William Howard
Taft before the third-term bee buzz

throw it IN the ring It was not sad
ten or twenty years ago, but four
years ago, namely, Sept 9. 1908. In
a letter to Conrad Kohrs Of Helena.
Mont. on that date, Colonel Roose-
welt said
The true friend of reform. the
true foe of abuses, is the man who
steadily perseveres in rightipg
wrongs. in warning against abuses.

such that he never promises what he
can not perform, that he always a
little more than makes good what ka
does promise, and that, while stead
lily advancing, he never permits him

which would damage the very cause
he champions In Mr.. Taft we have
a man who combines all Of these
qualities to a degree which no other
man in our public life since the civil
war has surpassed. To a flaming
hatred Of injustice. to a scorn of all
that is base and mean, to a hearty
sympathy with the oppressed, he
unites entire disinterestedness. cour-
age both moral and physical of the
very highest type, and a kindly gen
crosby of nature which makes him
feel that all Of his fellow countrymen

brothers. that their interests are his.
and that all his great qualities are to
be spent with lavish freedom In their
service. The honest man of means,
the honest and law-abiding business

would not so much as dare to defend
his evil doing in Mr. Taft's presence
Tho honest wageworker, the honest
laboring man, the honest farmer, the
honest mechanic or small trader, or
man Of small means. can feel that in
la peculiar sense Mr.. Taft will be his
Representative because Of the very
fact that he has the same scorn for
the demagogue that he has for the
corruptionist, and that he would
front threats Of personal violence
from mob with the unquailing and
lofty indifference with which he
would front the bitter anger Of the
wealthiest and most powerful cor
porations. Broad though his sym
pathies are, there is in him not the
slightest tinge of weakness. No con
sideration of personal interest, any
more than Of fear for his personal
safety. could make him swerve a
hairs breadth from the course which
he regards as right in the interest Of
the whole people"
