time!
Is such thing possible, with all
the work you have to dor
Yes!
The trouble does not lie in the
homework you do, but in the soap
you use while doing it. The skin
Of your hands is just as delicate as
silk-yet you wouldn't think of
washing your dainty silken gar
ments with harsh laundry soaps.
Millions Of women have given
up the idea that they must sacrifice
their hands to their homework or
their homework to their hands.
They now use Ivory for every
soap-and-water purpose!
They know that Ivory will not
hurt their hands, for they have pro-
tected their compilations with it all
their lives. And they know, too,
that Ivory's rich suds will cleanse
everything in the house efficiently,
quickly, and economically.

COOK INLET KID
 WANTS BOUT IN
 SEWARD AUGUST

For the purpose of endeavoring to interest Seward boxing fans in put ting on a smoker August 15, next month, Walter Cleghorn, "the Cook Inlet Kid" and Harry Porter, two Anchorage boxers, arrived Saturday, to discuss ways and means with a To- cal promoter. Cleghorn, who is cham pion in his division in the Territory is anxious to take on Soldier" Bortz, clever boxer from the Inlet Army post, and believes Seward should be good town to stage the match These boys fought once in Anchorage. Cleghorn won when a blow to the solar plexus put the soldier lad down for the count, but not out. Until he was floored, Bortz was holding his own, and many fans of the Inlet are under the firm conviction that in Bortz, Cleghorn has met chap who is going to lift his crown which he has worn for the last two years. Porter will be matched with an other good Anchorage man, if none are procurable in Seward. According to the report the boys will be given an opportunity to display their wares in Seward next month. More anon. Cleghorn is just fresh from another victory, having kaoyed Egner of Cor dova in the seventh round of a scheduled ten-round bout, which took
 place at Anchorage on the 4th oi
 July.
