HEAVY COLON|ST
TRAVEL ON 5. P.

With the opening of spring the
colonist travel, which has been seri-
ously interfered with on account of
floods in the middle west, is again at
full tide. Yesterday a colonist special
of seven tourist coaches, passed west,
via the Southern Pacific.
At 80 this afternoon another
special of baggage, diner, four tourists
and two Pullmans, passed west over
the same road, stopping here for a
minute to take water. Nearly all the
passengers were from points west Of
the Mississippi river and were made
up of people seeking homes in the
west, with quite sprinkling of young
men who came out to see the country.

Talk about energy!

A half cake OF Fels-Naptha soap can
display more energy in getting rid of dirt
in half an hour than an able-bodied
woman can in half day.
But there's this difference: Much Of
the woman's energy is wasted.
When she rubs clothes hard on
washboard she wears out the clothes in
trying to rub out the dirt
Fels-Naptha concentrates its energy
on the dirt diSSolves it into tiny particles
that are easily rinsed away without
harming the most delicate fabric.
AID it does this in cool or lukewarm
water, without hot water or boiling, sum-
mer or winter.
Do you prefer to supply the dirt
removing energy yourself or to use that
stored up in cake Of Fels-Naptha1
If you choose the easier and better
way, follow directions on the red and
green wrapper.
