There old woman who lived in shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know what
to do,
She had so much trouble to keep their clothes
clean,
Till she got Fels-Naptha with the wrapper
red and green,
Now her washing's easy clothes are cleaner too
Isn't it good thing, she found out what to do?
Here's an arithmetic problem that's
worth figuring out
How many hours do you spend each
week ii washing clothes?
Multiply the number by 81.
Then divide the total into two parts
and one of those parts is how much time
you would save in a year by using
Fels-Naptha Soap
You would likely save more.
Mos1 women who use Fels-Naptha
Soap do their washing in less than half the
time it would take in the old way
And with one-fourth the work.
And without any extra expense for fuel
because FclS-Naptha Soap cleanses clothes
in cool or lukewarm water.
No boiling; no scalding; no steaming
sud5 Summer or Winter.
Don't spend more of your life than's
necessary in washing clothes
Do them the quicker, better way-the
Fels-Naptha way.
Just follow directions on the red and
green wrapper.

"FoRCED INTO THE FIGHT.

The false pretenses of the Roosevelt
Presidential campaign reach grotesque
form when Roosevelt announces that
he was "forced into the fight. But.
who forced him? Certainly 1t was his
own claquers, his particular admirers,
those who hope for personal advan-
tage and position through the posi-
bility OF his election to the Presidency
OF the seven Governors who signed the
letter asking him to be candidate,
three are already out as candidates for
the Vice Presidency on his ticket, and
doubtless the rest of them will be out
for various offices in due time. II is
simply scramble for the pie counter
so far as those Governors are con-
cerned. and We may add, that is about
the size Of it SO far as Pinchot Gar
field, and all the noisy shouters for
Roosevelt are concerned.
1t will be remembered that Roose.
welt. in 1910, got into the New York
State campaign and was badly beaten,
He defeated Vice President Sherman,
OF the State Committee, got his man
nominated, and then the whole out
fit went down to defeat in the eiec-
ton. There, again, he was vociferous
in proclaming that he was "forced
into the fight but the only forcing
there was about it was the fight that
he himself made. and the only fight
made was TO resist his aggression and
to deplore the evil effects of his ar
bItrary methods. There was no fight
in the Republican party in New York
in 1910 until Roosevelt made the fight
and then. as now. he claimed that he
was "forced into it"
There is certain similarity this
wear so far as the "forcing'" is con.
cerned with the forcing of 1910 in New
York. But this year Roosevelt is han
dicappcd in the minds of all candid
honest men by the fact Of his dis
claimcr of any candidacy for the Of
flee of President. In 1904 his renuncia

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

The Republican National Convcn-

18th next, will be composed of l012
delegates. -Four years ago the like
convention numbered $50. This diff
ference of 90 is due TO the increased
membership of the House Of Repre-

where that membership was advanced
from 39l to 1873. Added to this there
are four more delegates each from New
Mexico and Arizona since the admis-
