Fels-Naptha Soap does better work in
the best way. Just because thing is

new doesn't say that it isn't as good or
better than the old things we have been
used to. If you don't know about Fels-
Naptha Soap, it is time that you learn.
Fels-N aptha Soap is one of the
changes that means lot to tired house
keepers. 1t means way of doing work
trouble. 1t means using cool or luke
warm water; it means making things look
bright and new. Anything-paint, wood
work, kitchen sinks or greasy pans, the
weekly wash, fine laces, heavy blankets
looks better if done with Fels-Naptha
Soap.

Fels-Naptha Soap. lou may like Ia do
things the hardest way, but I know Mrs.

yours, and look whittier, without half the hard

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

When tortoise-shen combs, pins and
other objects of the same material be-
come dull. clean them with little
olive oil or vaseline. This will restore
their beauty and they become less
brittle.
When cutting hard boiled eggs 1t is a
good idea to dip the knife in cold
water. They will cut more smoothly.
When removing cake baked in tin
pans place a wet cloth over the invert-
ed pan and the cake will drop out
nicely, never sticking to the pan.
If burn is covered Immediately
with baking soda and kept damp with
a cold cloth, there will be no blister.

Scenes of Violent Outbreaks IN
Herzegovina Incident to Recent
Murder of Archduke.

Budapest, Hungary, June 3U.-"ols :
than 200 persons. were killed anu
wounded in Mostar, Herzegovina, to-
dav. in a desperate battle between
Serbs and Mohammedan Craots, as a
result of the assassination OF Arch-
duke Franz Ferdinand at SaraJeVo'
according to specials received here
Mostar is reported burning.
Special correspondents of the BUD
apester Hirlap in Mostar telegraphed
that the Moslem Croats attacked the
Serb quarter of the city, bearing
banners inscribed "Death to the Mur-
derous Serbs"
When the mob arrived at the out
skirts of the Servian quarter hundreds
of Young Serbs opposed their progress
and the fighting instantly began.
In recently every street, the dis
patches say, battles ragged. For a time
the Serbs were victorious and the
Moslen1s were driven back, but soon
the alarm spretd and from all quar-
ters of the city new 'hordes of Croats
rushed into the battle. Men fell on
every side and for hours the fighting
was of the fercest description.
In the middle of the battle, which
ragged from Aousetop to housetop
along the principal streets Of the Sero
quarter, fire was set to the SerVlan
houses. 1t was impossible to exiting
uish the flames and as the dispatches
were sent they were raging so as to
menace the whole of the Servlan por-
ton of the city. 1t was then believed
that fully 200 were dead and wound
ed, but the battle was still in progress
and nothing like definite estimate can
be made.
Dispatches from a dozen other
towns and villages throughout Bosnia
today told of outbreaks between the
Moslems, who favor Austrian doml-
nation, and the Servians, who detest
| it and who regard the killing Of Arch,
duke Franz Ferdinand as an act OF
patriotism.
| How serious these outbreaks are
has not yet been ascertained, but II
is believed that hundreds will have
perished before the conflict between
the Noslem Croats and the Christian
Serbs is done.

Vienna, June 30.-It is feared tnat

friendly relations existing between
Austria and Servia. Both the youth
who fired the fatal shots and the
homb thrower are servians, with close
associations with Belgrade. The

William Psina, 10 years old, of

old plum tree on the edge of ditch
bank, 100 yards off the Broad Creek
Road and about 200 yards beyond the
first toll-gate.
Young Chandler, Psina and another
playmate named Houchins were
romping around the plum tree at the
time of the shooting. Houchins, ac-
cor:ing to the Testimony secured by
Justice J. S. Carmine, who conducted
the inquest, had brought gun with
him to kill a cat which had been
,,bothering chickens on his fathers
farm.
Becoming tired of carrying the gun
he asked Psina to watch it minute
while he and Chandler romped over
the field. Psina is said to have picked
the gun up to look over it, when it
exploded. The full charge of shot en-.
tered young Chambers face at the
nose, tearing off part of his face.

MATURE MINDS
PLOTi. TED MURDER
Death Of Ferdinand and
Wife Planned by Aus
tria's Foes.
OTHER MEANS READY
shown that Bombs Would Have
Wrecked Their Train Had They
Escaped Assassins' Bullets.

London, June 30.-Every dispatch
from Sarayevo and Vienna. brought
additional evidence that the assassi-
nation of Archduke Francis ferdl-
nand and the Duchess of Hohenberg
was one of the most carefully planned
crimes ever carried out against royal
nersonapes. Indications from the
scene of the tragedy show that 1t was
engineered by persons possessing
more mature organizing: ability than
that of the youthful assassins. 1t IS
generally thought in Austria and
Hungary that the plotters had their
headquarters in Belgrade, the sery-
ian capital.
Servian hatred of Austrlans, winch
always has been violent, has been
fomented b ythe newspapers in Bel
grade and by agitators through Ser
via and Bosnia, who have helped TO
inflame the minds of the students
and to induce them to; sacrifice their
lives in the belief that they will go
down in history as patriots.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, it Is
asserted, was we'll aware of the dan
ger he was running during his tour
of Bosnia which he undertook as In
spector general of the forces Of the
Empire.
The Servian Minister at Vienna told
Z the Archduke of the peril of his visit
to SarayeVo at the present time and
itnvlored him, even if he insisted on
going there himself, at least to leave
the Duchess at home. When the
Duchess of Hohenberg was informed
however, of the dangerous nature OF
the journey the Archduke was about
70 take, she said her place was a
her husbands side.
The plans Of the assasSins contem-
plated, it is said, the blowing up Of
the royal train when the Archduke
and his wife were leaving Sarayevo il
case the attempt by Gavrio PrinziI
failed. 1t was learned that severa
bombs were found along the Saray
evo railway over which the Archdukt
and his wife would have travelled
Prinzip's own plans were CAREFUL.
