HOW TO KEEP BABY,s SKIN WE'LL

The regular use of Resinol Soap is usually enough to prevent those dis dressing rashes and chafngs to which most babies are subject. This is so, first, because Resinol Soap is absolutely pure and free from harsh alkali, and second, because it contains the Resinol medication, on which so many physi- clans rely for skin troubles.

CHINA MAY SHIFT
 BACK TO MONARCHY
Believed President Will Be En-
 peror Before Another Year

(correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 Pek1ng, Aug. 20.-rhe Associated Press cable dispatches of August 16, disclosing that the project of shift back to a monarchial form of gov- ernment was under discussion in China, may now be elaborated with the full text of interesting documents bearing on the matter.
 Although President Yuan Shi-kai has denied that he desires to be ern- peror, and several of his prominent supporters have authorized the state ment that the president would decline the imperial title if it were offered to him, China is still stirred by the ex- tent to which the monarchial move ment has gained headway. The man1- festo published on August 16 by the Society of Peace" advocating the restoration of the monarchy, and signed by Yang Tu, head of the Han- kow development plan, and other prominent supporters of Yuan Shi- lSai, is generally regarded by Chinese of all parties as feeler thrown out to determine how the public would accept the idea of an emperor. In some high quarters, both Chinese and foreign, it is believed that if no revo- luton or danger of revolution de- yelops, Yuan Shi-kai will worship heaven as the Emperor of China be- fore another year.
 Would Restore Monarchy.
 For months previous to the appear ance of the above mentioned mani festo there had been a quiet cam paign conducted in Picking and other cities for the establishment of a mon- archy. The manifesto itself, as trans-

perfectly parallel lines by a screw Of ex-

Of the screw. When a screw, as near
