"SHEER DISHPAN MAcIC"-SAY women
Of This Amazing Soap That Melts Grease
So Fast Dishes Almost Wash Themselves

Now comes a revolutionary new soap to
end the dishpan slavery every woman
detests and breads. A soap that melts
grease with such miraculous speed that
dishes "fairly wash themselves" Yet so
easy on hands that thousands use nothing
else for washing dishes 3 times day.
Developed by Proctor & Gamble at a
cost of over 81, ,OOO, 900, OxYDOL is the
result of a remarkable formula that
makes mild, gentle soap 2 to 3 times
more efficient. Melts grease 25% faster
than less modern soaps.
That is why 50 many women say it often
cuts their dishwashing time in half. One

OxYDoL is particularly economical for
dishwashing. Tests against popular pack

gives 28% to 60% MORE SUBS! And
one package often goes q to "a again as
far as even the most modern fakes!
So try OxYDoL for dishwashing. You'll be
amazed how much time and drudgery it
saves-how soft it leaves your hands.

READ SENTENCED
TO DIE IN MOOSE
Four Corners Man CoI|apses
at Death Penalty in
DoIIman Staying.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SUTTON, w. Va, April "A jury
decreed death for William B. Read
yesterday and Judge Jake Fisher sem
fenced the 25-year-old Maryland man
to be hanged at the State Penitentiary
July for the torch-slaying Of w.
Earle Dollman, Charleston salesman.
The verdict of guilty without recon-
mendation for mercy was returned
after the jury deliberated an hour. 1t
made the death sentence mandatory
The hanging verdict was the first re-
turned in Braxton County since about
the time of the Civil War, attaches
said. The death sentence was the first
pronounced by Judge Fisher in his "a
years on the bench.
Dollman, en- route from Morgantown
to his Charleston home for last
Thanksgiving, died of fractured skull
His charred and almost unrecognizable
body was discovered in his blazing
miles from GasSaWay.
Before sentence was passed, Read
again proclaimed his innocence, saying
that two former companions who testi-
fled Read was the actual slayer did
not tell a straight tale"
Prosecutor Charles Duffield, jr., said
War Joseph Kirby and Lawrence
Gingell will be brought back to Sutton
Monday. Court attaches declined to
comment on whether or not Kirby and
Gingell may change their pleas to
guilty in view of their testimony.
After Defense Attorney E. G.. Pier
sons move for a new trial was over
ruled, Read faced the court and jury,
saying:
L never saw Earle Dollman. They
(Kirby and GingelD made me the in
stigator so that they could get off
with second-degree murder or with a
lighter sentence"
Judge Fisher ordered the defendant
to stand up. AS the jurist passed the
death sentence Reads knees buckled,
and he dropped back into chair.
State police took charge OF Read
and, with Gingell and Kirby, started
back to Charleston. Read, resident
of Four Corners, Md, is under life
sentence in Kanawha County for alb
Quoting and robbing P. P. Wilson.
Gingell and Kirby pleaded guilty to
that count and also to robbing Harold
Casio, filling station operator. Sen
tence was deferred, however.

An increase of 8.9 per cent i'll
the volume Of display advertising
placed in newspapers by retailers
during the week ended May 3,
1887, compared with the same
week of 1896, is reported by Ad-

Basing its figures on reports
covering all of the newspapers in

says that retail advertising in
those cities totalled 24.959, 452
lines for the week, gain of 2,046,-
464 lines over the 1885 total Of
22,912,988 lines.
For the first 10 weeks of 1887,
retail advertising in these meas
ured cities is 81 per cent ahead
Of the comparable period Of last

of 1886, an actual increase Of

suspicion became certainty. Jere-

wasn't important. Cecily had spoken
of Jerry's unreliable driving. Or
Dolly, herself, alarmed at the speed
at which the car had torn along the
winding road, might have grabbed
the wheel.
When the car crashed, Jeremy
had not been hurt. He had probably
tried, unsuccessfully, to rouse Dol
ly, and discovering that they were
near the riding academy, had gone
there for help.
Was it Jeremy who had knocked
at the door? Jim made a concen-
trated effort to remember precisely
what had happened at the moment.
He'd been aroused. The voice which
had called had not sounded fanil-
lar. But then he'd been only half
awake. 1t might have been Clyde.
What would Clyde have done if he,
Jim, had been awake and had rec
ognized him?
Since Jim hadn't seen him, Jer-

he thought of it before? Because
his certainty that Tommy had taken
the car had precluded any other the
ory; because even now that he was
sure Jeremy had done it he
couldn't make it seem plausible.
How did he think he could get away
with a thing like that? Even if no
| one had seen him take the car. if
no one had seen him all evening,
didn't he know that when Dolly re-
gained consciousness the trut h

That was the truth of the matter.
of course. Jeremy was counting on
the possibility of Dolly dying with

But it wasn't possible, Jim thought.
No one would do thing like that.
