She has a nice hot lunch for you and had time to read and play the . piano besides. And there's never any boily smell when Fels-Naptha' s used." There was a woman who made a prayer to be saved from washday with all its care. Then she tried Fels-Naptha and quit pray ing that particular prayer. It wasn't ex actly washday that she meant. . What she really did mean was to be saved from boil ing clothes, with its resultant nauseous steam and heat, and from back-breaking hard rubbing. Fels-Naptha answers that kind of peti tion completely, if you use it the Fels-Naptha way. Follow directions on the red and green wrapper. For white ' clothes you'll read: Soap the clothes, roll and let them soak in cold or lukewarm water Jfor 30 minutes. -Then rub lighdy, rinse, hang out on the line. No, you don't boil them; Fels-Naptha takes the place of that and hard rubbing, too. . Fels-Naptha has " many other valuable uses-washing dishes for instance. You'll hnd directions for all on the wrapper. Be sure and follow them. ' 'f DOUMil iVOULO DEFY MM But the Ctfar and His Dip lomats, That Is An ' . ' other Matter. (Ualted Preee' Leased Wire.) St Petersburg, Nov. 2. Although; "th ofTlcials of the foreign office decline to discuss the matter. It is Intimated In diplomatic circles today that Russia wll withdraw from participation In the pro posed Balkan- conference and will re- ruse to reerirnlztf Anstrla-rlunaarv s an nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. That this move Is contemplated by Ru sla is positively asserted by the parlia mentary leaders of the douma, but it is not verified by members of the diplo matic corps or tne government. The rumor is given the color or trutn by the preparations that are being, made ror a hasty mobilisation or ttussian forces on tha Balkan frontier. The members of the foreign office have repeatedly stated that the nego tiations between Russia, Austria-Hungary and other European powers are still in progress and that an acceptable program for submission to the confer ence -may ultimately be arranged. Members of the douma say tha plea forMielp sent by Servia and Montenegro last weekvwiu be needed and that Rus sia will aid them. N. Y.
