Every housekeeper should know
that II they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone 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. If your grocer tries to sell you
12-oz. package 1t is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose OF before he puts in Denance.
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.

SUGGESTIONS.
Especial to Bystander.)

1t is supposed that the readers of
this most valuable paper will not
construe the writer as attempting to
revolutionanize the progress which is
so demOnStrative along certain lines.
For it is being clearly demonstrat-
ed by a number Of the more thought
full and intelligent of the race, that
for the good of themselves and the
future generations, that an awaken
ing to a sense of duty is necessary.
We must apply ourselves to that
which is more edifying than that Of
mere butterfly existence. 1t is
nearing the time when the various So
cial pleasures are at their zenith;
such as dancing, cards, etc. While
these popular amusements offer much
pleasure, why persist in them as the
chief amusement of the hour.
There comes a time, you will admit,
in every intelligent man Or woman's
life when he or she becomes tired of
frivolity and begins to reflect and
asks the question, are we advancing
intelligently or are we advancing re-
listen to the voice of conscience.
We are surrounded by vast
amount of intelligence. We have men
and women of whom we need not be
ashamed who are trying to do all
that they can in the way of improve
ment both morally and socially. We
have in our city an association hall
where the young people can and do
derive much pleasure. The promoters
are earnestly working to make it a
success. Why not encourage them?
We have musicians, elecutionist ora
tors, many of these are not affiliated
with any church or organizations, and
we have also many intelligent women
who are wasting their talent upon
the desert air." Why not come in
touch with the woman's CLUB, band
of noble workers, laboring for the up
lifting of down trodden race. If
not desirous of that, there is other
work they can engage themselves.
Nature has provided us with certain
faculties, not even one is adapted to
the same, but there is something for
each one to do. Do not let the tai
ents, however small, lie dormant, but
awaken to the fact that this is an
age of progression. The opportuni-
ties are great if we only but grasp
them.
A momentous problem confronts us,
what will we do with the boys and
girls of today? We must train the
mind, and with that properly trained
we can train the hands.
Let us then be up and doing"
with a heart for any fate. Still pur-
suing. still achieving. Learn to labor
and to wait
