Anty Drudge Discovers Why George Has No Appetite. Anty Drudge?"What? Eating dinner in this steamy, smelly kitchen? I should think it would take your appetite away." Mrs. Slow?"I have noticed that George doesn't eat much on washdays." Anty Drudge?"How can he! Why don't you use Fels-Naptha? Boiling water isn't necessary; and you'll be through your wash plenty of time to have dinner in the dining room. Or if you prefer the kitchen, there will be no steam or. bad smells." Talk about energy! A half cake of Fels-Najjtha soap can display more energy in getting rid of dirt i ix i ri_i_ i i in iiaii an iiuur man an auie-Doaiea woman can in half a day. But there's this difference: Much of the woman's energy is wasted. When she rubs clothes hard on a washboard she wears out the clothes in trying to rub out the dirt. Fels-Naptha concentrates its energy on the dirt?dissolves it into tiny particles that are easily rinsed away?without harming the most delicate fabric. And it does this in cool or lukewarm water, without hot water or boiling, summer or winter. Do you prefer to supply the dirtremoving energy yourself or to use that stored up in a cake of Fels-Naptha? If you choose the easier and better way, follow directions on the red- and green wrapper. X> (norv IMS G Street, Next to Corner of Twelfth* "Something different?something better for the money."

AND WANTS TO BORROW Rosewater Pats & Pertinent Question to the Peerless. "THOU SHALT HOT STEAL" Asks Definition of Difference Bet tween Larceny of Votes and Larceny of Property. FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN, Neb.. July *>.Charging that William H. TSft "Is not satisfied with the work of the Chicago convention," which nominated him as the republican candidate for the presidency, and that "he la deeply Impressed with the work of the democratic convention," William J. Bryan has Issued a statement in which he expresses the opinion that Mr. Taft "fears the uprising which republican abuses have caused, and yet hesitates to adopt his real and substantial reforms." The statement was called forth by the allegation made by Taft in his speech of acceptance at Cincinnati Tuesday that Mr. Bryan was a destroyer of business. In regard to the speech Mr. Bryan said: "I read it, and shall discuss It as I deal with the various subjects upon which It treats. For instance. In a speech at Topeka between now and the first of September I shall discuss the guaranty of banks and contrast Mr. Taft's position with the democratic position. In my Labor day speech at Chicago September 7 I shall discuss his attitude on the labor question. In other speeches I shall discuss his attitude on the tariff question, the trust question and other questions on which he has expressed himself.' Calls Taft a Borrower. "The most noticeable feature of his speech is his attempt to amend the republican platform by grafting on it some of the planks of the democratic platform. He is evidently not satisfied with the work of his convention, ana Is deeply impressed by the work of the democratic convention. He is uncharitable, however, in not giving the democratic party credit for having pointed out the reforms which his own convention repudiated, but which he, in a half-hearted way, Indorses. The speech shows that he fears the uprising which republican abuses have caused, and yet hesitates to adopt his real and substantial reforms." Confirmation was given by Mr. Bryan to the story printed in the afternoon that it was not his Intention to make any extended campaign tour, but only to deliver a few prepared speeches at central points before the 1st of October, and that during that month he expects to remain home and assist in the educational work of the campaign through the discussion of public questions in the form of signed articles, Interviews and letters. "The outline of my plan of campaign as printed today," said Mr. Bryan, "is substantially correct, but I am not prepared yet to announce the number of speeches or the places. Besides speaking at Topeka in August and at Chicago on Labor day, I shall attend the democratic convention at Peoria on September 0, the notification of Mr. Kern at Indianapolis on a date not yet fixed, and a farmers' congress at Madison, Wis., about September 26. Many Visit Fairview. Although the heat was intense today, a large number of visitors rode out to Pairview and paid their respects to the demo cratic leader. One of these was J. T. Flynn of Bellaire, Ohio, who was a delegate to the Denver convention. Mr. Flynn discussed politics with Mr. Bryan for some time and expressed the belief that Ohio would be found In the democratic column In November. The actual writing of his speech of acceptance has not yet been begun by Mr. Bryan, but he said today that his ideas were about formulated and he would enter upon the work of preparation in a day or two. The fact that an additional stenographer has appeared on the scene is an indication that all is in readiness for this Important task. WILL BRYAN DISAPPROVE t Rosewater Asks That He Frown on Sharp Practice. OMAHA, Neb., July 30.?Victor Rosewater, republican national committeeman for Nebraska, yesterday published an open letter to William J. Bryan asking him to disapprove of an attempt that was recently made to file the names of the democratic presidential electors from this state under the head of "people's independents." Mr. Rosewater recently filed a protest in the case with the secretary of state. This matter is an outcome of the bolt of the Nebraska delegation, headed by Thomae H. Tibbies, from the St. Louis convention of the people's party, which nominated Thomas ?. Watson for President. Mr. Rosewater flrst refers to Mr. Bryan's speech last February before the Civic Forum in New York, the subject of which was "Thou Shalt Not 8teal," and in which Mr. Bryan divided theft into "larceny In violation of law" and "larceny through operation of law." "i asK you, air. Bryan." writes Mr. Rosewater, "if the larceny of something, more priceless than property?namely, the unpurchasable votes of the people?Is not equally reprehensible whether the theft is committed in violation of law or under cover of legal technicalities? Larceny Just the Same. "Let me call your attention to the fact, if you are not already aware of It, that a conspiracy is now on foot In this, your own state of Nebraska, engineered by your own brother-in-law as chairman of your democratic state committee, for the purpose of purloining votes not Intended to be cast for you and to count them for your candidacy. In the interest of square dealing I have hied protests with the secretary of state against the misbranding of democratic presidential electors. The filing of the names of democratic electors ae 'people's independents' is a palpable attempt to securer votes for you by false pretenses. If this plot succeeded you will have the benefit of the votes intended to be cast for Thomas E. Watson, as well as of the votes intended to be cast for you. If this would not be larceny of these votes, 'through the operation of law,' I would like to know what you would call it." Mr. -Rosewater closes with an appeal to Mr. Bryan to put the stamp of his disapproval on the proposed action. Bryan "Hasn't the Time." r Aiit v iJE?w, L/incoin, ??d., JUiy so.? When informed of the open letter of Victor Rosewater, proprietor of the Omaha Bee, Mr. Bryan Mid: "I have not the time to make answer." He was not certain tkat he would reply at all, but said that the subject would be investigated. WARS ON HAWKS WITH KITES ? ????? . , Farmer Invoke* Science of Aviation to Protect Hi* Chicken*. MONTCLAIR. N. J., July 80.?'The science of aviation has been adopted by John Wolfe, a poultryman, who has a farm at the top of Hook mountain, to protect his young chickens from the depredations of hawks. Wolfe keeps several large box kites flying above his hennery, and the hawks take no chances of an encounter with such uncanny-looking birds. Wolfe got the kite Idea from his young nephew, who found the locality an. ideal one for flying his new-fangled box kites. Wolfe noticed that the hawks took to the woods while the kites were in the air. SCOUTS OP THE SKIES~ 4* Airships for Spying on Enemy's Strength and Position. PICTURES FROM HEIGHTS Photographing From Balloons With Telephoto Outfit. SEA FOBTS HAY BE CHANGED Chief of the United States Signal Corps Talks of Possibilities of Aerial Transit in War. NEW YORK, July SO.?Scouttns In the sky. photographing camps and defenses of the enemy from balloons and sending Information by wireless to headquarters are possibilities of warfare of the future bilng considered by Lieut. Col. George P. Scrlven. chief of the United St^es Signal Corps for the Department of the East. Interest in aerial maneuvers In war will be accentuated In the tests to be held by the War Department at Foil Myer In August. Valuable for Scouting. While he does not believe that the flying machine has yet shown Itself to be entitled to consideration. Col. 8criven said be believes that experiments made In Europe with the dirigible balloons, as well as with lesser ones In this country, show that these ships of the air will be valuable In collecting information about tne enemy which heretofore has been impossible. In discussing these possibilities Col. Scrlven said he Is of the opinion that balloon scouts may be able to get an almost complete photographic picture, showing fortifications and the distribution of forces, by means of the telephoto. a new Instrument with which, by the use of an extra lens, It Is possible to focus on objects at a distance of perhaps a mile and secure such detail as will make the picture seem as If It had been taken at a few hundred feet. , Bard to Get Range. Col. Scrlven explained that the camera could be placed In the bottom of the bal loon ana operated Dy ciocxworK. tie stated that there would be some danker H of a balloon being hit by projectiles while' engaged in such scout work. It has been demonstrated in Europe, he said, that a balloon at a height of one mile can be destroyed by gun Are, and a mile is about the limit of ascent. At the same time the wrecking of a balloon at such a height would require great skill. The balloon in warfare, said this officer, might also be used to tow explosives through the air and drop them Into the enemy's strongholds. He said that such war ballooning as he foresaw might necessitate changes in the construction of our seaco&st defenses. FARM AN WORLD GIVE LIFT TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Aeronaut's Wife Interested in His Affairs, But Has Never Taken Flight. NEW YORK, July 90.?Henry Farman, the aviator, was greatly relieved to And that his Aying machine had stood the i long journey from Paris without Injury to any of its delicate parts. He watched the opening of the big cases in which it was packed eagerly to see if any damage had been done. Because of the delay caused by the order of the collector of the port that an appraiser must be present to break the seals of the boxes the machine could not be assembled yesterday as had been planned. Farman discounted the delays, however, by having big arc lights Installed in the aerodrome at Brighton Beach so that his assistants can work all night. Among other things it was said that President Roosevelt is greatly interested in Mr. Farman and has expressed a desire to see htm Ay. Mr. Farman says he is delighted at the Interest of the President and will be pleased to explain the working of the aeroplane to him and will give him an aerial ride if he wishes it. A special day on which the public will be excluded may be set aside to give an exhibition for the President and his incuus. Mrs. Farm an Talks. One of the raoet interesting women In this city is Mrs. Henry Farman. wife of the aviator. Mrs. Farman Is Irish and he was brought up In London. Nobody would ever believe It. though, if she did not say so. for ten years' residence in Paris has transformed her into a typical French woman. She even speaks English with a French accent, and arranges her words at times in a way which reminds one of la belle France. Mrs. Farman has large dark eyes and hair deeply, rich red. In this hair she wears always, arranged like a Greek fllet, a bright emerald ribbon, the only reminder she flies of the little isle. She wears gold cofns for earrings. Mrs. Farman is her husband's secretary and has already installed her typewriter in her room at the Hotel Astor. She conducts all his correspondence and looks after the business end of his affairs generally. Mrs. Farman is of an extreme and dainty slenderness. She has a long, slim throat, a long, slim figure, long, slim hands and a small oval face, sharp cut as a cameo. In discussing her husband and his business, she said: Interested in HTk Affairs. "In England when a woman marries she thinks to keep her house. In France she thinks to help her husband make money I in his business. It would be very dull for me, or very stupid, to think only to dust my house and order the dinner and things like that. I cannot see how 'that could ZZ occupy the mind of an intelligent woman, an educated woman. gi "I should think it very strange, indeed, h< if when my husband comes in he should ai have to talk to me about bouse or serv- he ants. Instead he talks to me about the fe business?yes, about the invention, about th the science, about the progress of the flying machine, the contracts, the possiblli- Q] ties of the future; yes. "tt was the same with the motor cars. * He was In the motor business before he began to work on the flying machine. It is generally so In France. Almost always the wife Is in business with her husband, gnd if she is left a widow she often car- lit rles on the business herself, and carries hi It on very well, too, and makes money. "I think It is much better, don't you, ... for the hueband to teach the wife so she 1D oan take care of herself and the family If J>? i he is taken away?" vi Never Has Taken Trip. 3 Mrs. Farman said that she had never th taken a trip In the flying machine with her husband, although he has promised to that she shall be the first woman to go up with him. ?* "I do not think women will operate fly- T1 ing machines for some time yet," said th Mrs. Farman. "With the airship V one th must thoroughly understand the winds, the air currents. One must know instantly what a new air current striking the side of the boat will do, and 9ne T1 must act instantly, too. "It Is more Ilke handling a sailing yacht *r than a motor car, only it Is more delicate, of much, much more delicate. Only with lv much practice and thorough knowledge of the whole subject of aerial navigation va could one fefl safe, and one would have of to have great self-control not to get nervous or lose one's head at all.
