Every housekeeper should know
that IL they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time. because 1t
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 oz.-one full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package 1t is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures '16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time ana
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

opinion among the party leaders the
matter may not be settled definitely
for another week The settlement of
the date for holding the convention Is
= garded as the first test as to whether
.eaator Platt or Governor Odell Is in
actual control of the party machinery.
Governor Odell favors an early date.
Senator Platt pre.ers a late one. for
the alleged reason that he desires all
the important legislative business to
be out OF the way before the conven-
lion meets The selection Of late
date, therefore. will be accepted as
evidence by the rank and file that
Senator Platt has not relinquished the
party reins. An early date will be re-
garded as indicative of Governor
Odelrs control of the state commit
tee.
Coupled with the call which the COM
mittee will issue for the convention
may be the proviso that the conven-
ton Is to select new state commit
tee. This is much desired by Govern
or Oeldl, and. it is understood, is not
opposed by Senator Platt The CON
vention will select four delegates-at-
large to the Republican national con
