Every houSekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold

Starch IS free from all injurious chem,

q stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has

The Male Ninht Shirt.


An esthetic country editor is finding
fault with the male nightgown. The
scribe sees no affinity between ele'
gance and the nightshirt. He com
plains that it shows a mans legs, and
flaps when he walks! Suppose it does!
Ii there is any place on earth where
a man has d right to show his legs.
it is in the sanCtity of his own bed
chamber! So long as the nightgown
is not used for society purposes, what
wots it if it does hist up when a
man sits on the bed, or flap when he
hops across the floor trying to Olsen
gage his hind leg from his trousers.
Of course il a man is given to lncu
bus, nightmare or sOmnambulism, and
is not content with parading under his
own vine aid fig tree, then, we say
for the peace of the community in
which he resides, he should wear
