Form N ew Italian
Cabinet

Turin, Italy. Oct. 2s.-The fan of the
cabinet OF Premier Boseli Is attributed to
Giovanni Gioiitti, former premier. who
thus reasserts his old power as Italys
political leader. Before the entrance of
Italy into the war he was in favor OF the
country's neutrality, representing con-
servati"e opinion and business interests.
1t is assumed the new cabinet will be
strong at home In view OF the overwhelm-
ing majority favorable to Ssnor Giolitt,
which includes the Socialists. 1t probably
will be able to deal in a practical manner
with the problems of food clothing and
speculation. If Baron Sonni remains In
the new cabinet as foreign minister there
will be no decided change in the foreign
policy.
Since the foregoing dispatch was fled
word has been received Of the selection
OF Prof. Orlando to form a new ministry.
signer Gfolitti aroused much opposition
by his activities in behalf OF neutrality.
In May, 1915. he was reported to have
gone to Berlin for an audience with En-
peror william. After Italy entered the
war he announced his support of the gov

CAR CLEAN
AND SAVE MONEY.
Ell Paso Dealer Declares
That Carelessness Means
Large Repaint Bill.

Lack Of washing a car when this
treatment is needed, will more than
anything else cause its appearance to
deteriorate and in the end means a
good sized bill for its rehabilitation"
said Leo J. frost, Of the Franklin
agency. Proper washing viii go a
long way in preserving the finish.
All the mud should be thoroughly
softened by a gentle stream OF water
which at the same time will carry
away the dust. The grease and spots
should be removed with a piece Of
waste saturated in gasoline The car
should then be rubbed with q clean
sponge, using plenty Of cold water.
The drying process is easily effected
with gentle strokes of the chamois,
wringing IL out from time as the wa
ter is absorbed.
The object is TO remove the mud
and dust and leave the surface dry
and clean with as little scratching
as possible. Rubbing should be done
in straight lines rather than in cir
cles- To avoid water drying and
spOtting, clean one panel at g time.
In spite OF the simplicity OF the
directions they are highly effective
and Will for long time hold the lus-
ter OF the varnish-and incidentally
they mean money in the pocket"
