Fels-Naptha will take grease out of
clothes in cool or lukewarm water.
1t loosens all kinds of grease quick as
wink, and takes out every trace of the spot.
That's why butchers, and painters,
and machinists clothing can be washed
better with Fcls-Naptha than any otherway.
It's easier, too; in summer or winter,
requires no boiling, hot water nor hard
rubbing, and makes better job of it.
Because Fels-Naptha dissolves grease
almost instantly, women who have tried it
prefer Fels-Naptha to any other soap for
washing dishes.
There is no necessity for putting the
hands in hot water.
Puts fine polish on glass and china.
1t is likewise superior in cleaning coats,
or rugs, or curtains, or anything else that
has become spotted or soiled.
In fact, you will find that anything
cleanable can be cleaned quicker and better
and easier with Fels-Naptha.
And for laundry purposes, Fels-Naptha
is a revelation to women who have always
washed in the old-fashioned, washboiler-
and-hard-rubbing way.
Directions for all purposes are printed
on the back of che red and green wrapper.

BROWN UNIVERSITY
HAS GREAT ATHLETE
IN NORMAN TABER
Track Man Has But One
Superior, and That Is
Abe Kiviat.

In Norman s. Taber. Brown Univer-
sity, has one of the greatest mile rum
ners OF the age. He proved himself
to be the best in the college ranks
when he outran Jones, Of Cornell. At
the Olympic games, and 1t may not be
long before he becomes the best run
ner on this side CT the ocean.
Taber's only superior. IL he really
has any superior, is little Abe Kiviat,
Of New York, the Irish American A.
c. star. The diminutive Staten Island
er is in better condition than he ever
was in his life. and the Providence
collegian would have to travel some
to distance him.
1t II not at all improbable that
Kiviat could be beaten by Taber, as
the Brown track captain ran what
was practically a dead heat with
Kiviat in the 150o-meter race in
Stockholm. and the Brown runner was
only a step behind Kiviat In the
Olympic try-outs in Cambridge in
June.
But there is no doubt that just now,
at any rate, Taber is faster than Jones.
Taber and Jones ran a dead heat ia the
intercollegiate mile race in the last Penn
relay races at Franklin Field here.
At least that was the decision Of the
judges, though many persons at the
finish line said the Cornellian was beat
en- and the pictures of the Photographers
seem to. show that the Brunonian
breasted the worsted first. Jones
saved himself. it was said. in the
Philadelphia race.
Jones did not enter the 1,50o-meter
race in Cambridge. where Taoer pushed
Kiviat SO hard that Kiviat established
a worlds record for the event Surely
Jones did not save" himself in the race
in Stockholm.

out the year. He ran mile in min

when he was not hard pressed, so that

Taber is a Providence boy, and en-

school in that city. He is 8 feet 10

HERMANN DENIES
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF

Refutes Report That Hank

NEW YORK. July H.-In refutation
Of the story sent out from st. Louis
on Thursday night, which had 1t that
Miller Huggins of the Cardinals was
going to succeed Hank O'Day as man
ager of the Reds. Garry Hermann,
president Of the Cincinnati club, yester-
day wired O'Day that the story was
untrue and made out of whole CLOTH
When asked about the matter in WASH
ington Park yesterday O'Day showed a
telegram he had received from Presi-
dent Hermann. 1t read:
STORY that Higgins is to succeed
you as manager is without foundation
and emanated from unofficial sources.
Pay no attention to it." ,
O'Day yesterday denied that he was
tired, of managing the Reds and said
he had no intention of quitting. He
intimated that President Hermann
and himself had several deals under
consideration whereby they thought
that the Reds would be strengthened
and made into pennant-contending
team. ..
Through underground sources 1t was
learned that Larry Mclean is sore on
the Cincinnati club. and is, anxious to
play with the Boston Nationals, O'Day,
however, said he knew nothing of the
rumored deal in which Boston was to
give Pitcher Tyler to the Reds in ex-
change for Mclean and Pitcher Bobby
Keefe.

RATE RULING EXPECTED
SOON ON CLASS FREIGHT

Class freight rate reductions from
Galveston TO Oklahoma City and
Wichita, decision on which was given
by the interstate commerce commits
sion last Jaly to take effect Sept. l.
has been postpone duntil January y
The postponement was occasioned
presumably, in order that decision
may be given by the commission on
the Oklahoma-Texas freight rates
of several months ago.
Until decision is had in the latter
case conflict of rates would likely
follow and traffic men believe the
delay has come through a desire Of
the commission to axe the two stand
ards conform
A decision on the Oklahoma-Texas
rates is looked for daily.
Reductions from Galveston to Ok.
lahoma City and Wichita amounted
10 2l-cents a hundred pounds on first
class freight to Oklahoma City and
l5-cents to Wichita Other classes
we're reduced in proportion.
