The Road saIssman,s Auto.

There are nowadays men combining the work of advertising and selling goods who in going about in the city and in covering a territory within a radius of a hundred miles of town use an automobile, having a machine built and equipped for the work.
 An outfit of this character lately en- countered on 8 North river ferryboat consists of a trim looking machine with plenty of power and with fold ing carriage top and other accessories to make travelling comfortable in any sort of weather, while built up at the back in place of 8 tonneau is boxed in, weather proof body of the capacity of about two good sized trunks and having doors opening at the rear end.
 In this boYed-i in body may be carried a supply of samples of the one line of goods that this salesman advertises and sells and also display cards and materials for window displays.
 On all his trips the salesman takes with him a chauffeur to drive and look after the machine while he attends to business. With such an outfit he never has to wait for trains, as he would have to do if he were travelling by rail-

Cameron Forbes's Popularity lF
 Manila

When William Cameron Forbes, gov ernor general of the Philippine Islands left Manila for the United States he drove from Malacaanan Palace through streets lined with troops and crowded with all sections of the city community to pier 5, where a great threng waited to bid him godspeed at the public reception which took place before the launch carried him off to the transport Sherman.
 Two thousand five hundred troops of all arms, including regulars scouts and constabulary lined the streets through which the governor general passed on his way to the pier, forming a living avenue from Ayala bridge to pier 5, over Calle COncep- oion, Bagunbayan, the sMalecon and Sixteenth street.
 It was cosmopolitan crowd. There were many from all walks of life and there were men and women of many nationalities. Only in Manila would one see such a crowd on such an occasion. Local society had turned out en masse, and mingling with them Chinese. F'ilipinos and Japanese rub bed shoulders. The launch met the transport in the stream and while the band of transport and the Con stabulary Band played the governor general boarded the boat which is to take him to Nagasaki the first leg of his journey through Europe and the United States

Insemnia and Tobacco. ;

Fhe dominant characteristic of to- bacce is the fact that it heightens blood pressure. The irritant action by which it does this sometimes leads to still more harmful results. Its second ac- tion is narcotic; it lessens the cennec- tion between nerve centres and the outside world. These two actions ac- count for all the good and all the bad effects of tobacco. As a narcotic, it temporarily abolishes anxiety and dis comfort by making the smoker care less about what is happening to him. But 1t is a Well-kpown law of medi- cine that all the drugs which in the beginning lessen nerve action increase it in the end. Thus smoking finally causes apprehension, hyper -excitabili- ty and muscular unrest. Here this inevitale law seems to give contra dictory results. Every physician knows that an enormous amount of insomnia is relieved by smoking, even if it is at the expense of laziness the next day; at the same time every physician knows that most excessive smokers are troubled with insomnia.

 While this information may have been in the possession of the party dictaters it was net imparted to the delegates from the several wards to the city convention, nor even to all of the ehairmen who represented the sev- eral wards on the nominating com- mittee. It is evident that the list of delegates was prepared outside of the committee and that 1t was arranged with a majority of the committee that the names given te them as a bluff for consideration were to be actually presented to the city convention While the name of the governor was omit ted, the name of a young democrat de7 ing business in New York was named as a delegate and of course could be filled by proxy at the state convention to carry out the plans previously ar ranged This could not have been done with the governor in the delega- ton and perhaps that's a reason why he was not selected.

Explained by Anty Drudge.

Little Miss Rompdbout- -"Just look, mamma, tore my
 frock"
 Mother-Good gracious and that froch just new! Only
 washed twice!'
 Anty Drudge-"Just those two washngs made the tear
 possible. You boiled the frock, you do all youA
 clothes, and that softened and weakened it's fiber fl
 you had used Fes-Naptha in cold or lukewarn1
 water the fabric would not be half rotten and ready
 to give away the first time it caught in anything"
 White clothes are made of vegetable flores, cotton or flax. Boiling affects them the same way 1t does other vegetable mat ter, as potatoes or cabbage. It softens them and weakens the fibre. Boiling will soften even hard wood.
 By this you can easily see how your clothes will wear out quicker and tea1 more easily if you boil and hard-rub them1 Wool, which is an animal fibre, is softened just as the fibre of meat in boiling. Fels-Naptha will cleanse your clothes in cold or lukewarm water without any boil ing or hard rubbing, and there isn't single thing in it that will harm the goods.
 Your clothes will wear twice as long, and they'll be winter and cleaner all the time, Try cake of Fels-Naptha and see. But use 1t the Fels-Naptha way, according to the simple directions on the red and green wrapper. They'll tell you how to wash all kinds of clothes with Fels- -Naptha; wash dishes, clean floors and do many other things with 1t.

BILL MAY YET PASS.
Congress May Get Together on Direct
Election Of Senators Measure.


Election Of Senators Measure.
Washington. April 24-Altho the SEN
ate, by a vote of ~ to SO, insisted on
adhering to the Br!stow amendment to
the direct election Of senators resolu-
tion, hope is strong that the two
houses will come together on the prop
osition and that within a very short
time the proposed constitutional
amendment will be ready for submits
sion to the states.
1t would occasion no surprise II the
house recede from its position within
week and bring to conclusion the
great fight that has extended over
three quarters of a century. In fact.
friends of the direct election reform in
the senate declared that they had re-
ceived assurances from house leaders
that the lower branch will accept the
senate amendment.
1t had been hoped the senate, which
under the rules had to act first on the
report of the conference committee that
has been hung up for many months.
would smooth the path by receding
from the feature that has locked ac-
ton. But as the rea! friends OF the
proposed constitutional amendment
voted for the Bristow amendment in
the first place solely because they
wanted the resolution passed in some
form ard because it offered the only
chance of getting the senate into line.
IL is now expected that the friends of
the idea in the other house, snbordinat-
ing their prejudice as to federal con-
troll. will take the resolution in such
shape as it can be had.
