Fels-Naptha Soap makes your work

you try to find the best and easy way?
Or do you have the idea that if thing

That is mistake. Many people slight
things in order to get through quickly,
but many women today are doing their
work the Fels-Naptha way because they
have proved to themselves that it issthe
best.
Fels-Naptha Soap makes your work

In order to safeguard the public and the

has planned a campaign against flies
which swarm in some sections of the city
owing largely to the faulty system OF
disposing of garbage.
Those in charge of the political ma

district are still encountering difficulty
IN inducing many of the old employees to
return TO their work. but committees rep
resenting the better elements Of the
population are continuing to cooperate
IN the restoration of normal conditions.
With the idea of preventing abuses by
merchants these citizen committees
have induced the ma jority of the meat
dealers to agree to the restoration of the
prices prevailing before the American oc-
cupation. and are doing all that is posi-
bile TO induce dealers of all sorts not to

Ell PASO, Tex, MAY THE definite
announcement from Washington that me-
diation in Mexico by the South Ameri-
can ENJOYS would proceed without rep
resentation from the constitutionalists Is
not expected to change the attitude OF
Gen. Carranza, according to men here
in close touch with constitutionalist
affairs.
While no formal statement has reached
here from the constitutonalist chief in
Chihuahua men whose statements have
consistently reflected the attitude OF car
rama declare that If representation at
the conference is dependent on an arms
ticc with TIuerta. there will he no rep
resentation. They expect no emharrass-
ment to enSue from this attitude. FOR
they hold that the conference really can
affect them little if at all. They assert
that there are no points Of difference be
tween the constitutionalists and the
United States. and that the points of
difference with Huerta are OF such char
acter that they may be settled only by
the complete elimination of Huerta and
his adherents.
Meanwhile the constitutionalists are
rushing preparations to deal the federal
forces a series OF decisive blows which
will leave the national capital open to
