Easier Wash Days

In the old days the ancient scrubbing
board gave US the lame back, the sore
knuckles, the tired nerves and the peeves
generally. Beauty fed and hubby
wished he hadn't wed.
Soap has the ability to clean clothes
but you have to make soap do it's work
by hard work on your part, just as the
driver has to make the horse haul the
load.
Borax, harnessed on soap, makes the
soap do more work and cuts down the
amount of labor on your part.
Every up-to-date housewife knows the
value of borax, but many do not realize
that it cannot be combined in proper
proportion in bar soap; only in the form
OF borax soap chips. The proper proper
ton is one part borax and three parts
soap.
This amount of borax certainly makes
the soap sit up and take notice!
You will find this combination in 100
Mule Team Borax Soap Chips"
Csc. worth will do more cleaning with
less work on your part than &c. worth
of soap powders or bar soap.

tween the two men the respondent
would have killed Downs; also that
the respondent threatened to kill
Sammie Trask if he didn't take
drink, but that after much persuasion
Sammie did as he was ordered.

a denial, and as for threatening Trask

getting him to take drink as he was
begging for it. At the conclusion of
the hearing the court found Salvador
guilty and imposed sentence of 30
days in Jail, but suspended sentence
on condition that the respondent re-
turn to the National Home and not go

 The injury Curlcy Brown received over 10 days ago in Chattanooga seems to be more serious than was at first expected.

Chicago, July J-Australasia $ tennis team. with Norman Brookes and Anthony Wilding as it's mainstaNs. today earned the right 10 meet the German team at Pittsburg next week in the contest Tor the Davis cup by defeating the Canadian doubles team The antipodeans made a clean sweep of the series Today's match went to Brookes and Wilding in straight sets, as did their singles matches yes terday. The scores were 6-i. 6-3 and 6-i
 Again. as in the singles, the Canadians Robert B. Powell and R. P. Sehwengers, were outclassed. but their desperate rallies won the favor of the big crowd which watched the match on the Onwentsia clubs courts at Lake Forest. In placing and judgment the Canadians did as well as their opponents, but the latter played aggressively for every point and never seemed at the end of their resources. It was the frequent volleying that fur nished most of the exciting incidents. Time after time the ball was held in the air for dozen strokes In these volleys the Canadian pair gradually weee forced back of the base line bv tho
 
 the latter advanced until one or the other was playing right up to the net. Schwen- gers and Powell depended almost solely on lobs. These. as a rule, presented no diff faculties to the Austialasan combination. Next week at Plttsburg the Australia sians will meet the German fepresen- tatives in series for the right to play the British team Tomorrow exhibition matches will be played by Schwengers against Wilding and Brookes against Powell
