cents. Then again, because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
12-oz package it Is because he has
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

ON STRANGERS LAP
SPlNSTER RODE IN CROWDED
ELEVATED TRAIN.
Situation Enjoyed by the Ctner Pas
sengers, but Decidedly DstastefuI to
the PrincipaIs-Fat Man Finally
Succumbs to Fate.

The elevated train was chock full
when the very stout man got on at
1hirty-third street. There wasn't
room between platform and platform
for a famine victim; but the stout
man, like all stout men. didn't see
how he could make any difference. He
stepped upon the platform buoyantly,
MASKING a messenger boy fat against
the door and spreading lemon-faced
little Spinstpr all over the window like
jam or butter.
At Twenty eighth street half dozen
people got out, Instantly there was a
rush for seats and standing room left
inside the car. But alas, when fat
man gets wedged in doorway, who
else can penetrate it? Again, like
all fat men, the fat man was lucky,
and, strange as it may appear, he
managed to get one of the seats re-
Gently vacated.
When he had sat down the little
spinSter gathered herself together and
found fcothold in front of him, and
the others, with some new passengers
just taken on, crowded in after her and
packed themselves like sardines.
They were squeezed so tight that the
SpinSter reached for strap to keep
from being pushed over ON the fat
mans head and shoulders. But just
as she made grasp somebody else
caught the only remaining strap. The
bell rang sharply and the train start
ed with jerk. The little spinster lost
her breath and balance, toppled for a
moment on her toes and then sank
struggling down upon the fat mans
lap.
The fat man gasped and the spinster
gave an awful cry Of CONSERVATION and
reached for the floor. But there was
no floor. Every inch of space was
covered by The feet of the determined
passengers. The moment she sat
down they had spread out over her
space. Then she blushed. Some peo-
pie looked her way and laughed, but
nobody moved. She couldn't wedge
her knees down from the altitude
they had assumed at the first lurch.
She continued to struggle and strain
to reach a strap. while the fat man
sat helpless With that energetic mite
Of femininity going through the jiu
'jitsu exercises on his knees. At the
next station more people got on and
the fight of the lone spinster became
more difficult and desperate.
Flesh and blood, even 800 pounds
strong could stand 1t no longer. Like
a mountain rising and casting off the
small cities on its surface, the ponder

like passengers out of his magic circle.
The spinster slid off his knee like a
drop Of water off a duck.
Madam" said the fat man, lifting
his hat gravely, will you do me the
honor to take my seat?"
well, it's about time!" snapped the
rufFied little spinster ungratefully.-

THE SECRET OUT.
The Door Stands Wide Open.

To refute the many false and malci-
GUS attacks. bogus formulas and other
untruthful statements published concern
ing Doctor Perce'S WOrld-famed Family
Medicines the Doctor has decided to pub
liSh all the ingredients entering into his
"Favorite Prescription" for women and
his equally popular tonic Alternative
known as DIR. Pierce'S Golden Medical
Discovery. Hereafter every bottle of
these medicines leaving the great Labor
atory at Buffalo, n. Y, will bear upon it
a full list of all the ingredients entering
into the compound. Both are made en-
tirely from native roots, barks and herbs.
The ingredients of the vGolden Med
zeal Discovery" being Golden Seal root,
Queens root, Black chcrrybarl, Man
drake root, Bloodroot.
Why is it so many have been strength
ened and benefited by the tonic effect of
Or. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery /?
1t is because at this time, of the year
people feel rundown, ncryelcSs, SleepleSS
lated in their body during the long win
ter. Their blood stores up lot of waste
product which poiSonS the system. That
is why in the spring and early summer a
tonic is almost a necessity. DR.. Hicrce's
Golden Medical Discovery being made of
medcianal plants, is next to nature and
the best tonic you can use. For the same
reason that vegetables and greens are
good for the system at this time of the
year, so is it true that tonic made up
entirely of medicinal plants, without the
use OF alcohol, is the proper medicine to
take at this time. it fills the blood with
rich, red blood corpuScles. 1t gives you a
feeling of strength, and it puts sunshine
into your system as no other remedy can.
That is why DR.. Pierce's Colleen Medical
Discovery has been such a favorte for
the past forty years. He is not AFRAID to
open his laboratory to the public, and he
invites every one to visit his Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y, to see how Systematically the sick
are taken care OF and cured, as well as
looking over his huge laboratory and sec
ing the scientific methods of preparing
this wonderful tonic. Neither man nor

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve
eenters are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality. These cehters become blood
less for want of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of
weak nerves.

This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root OF
the difficulty by correcting the diges-
ton.
Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women, especially those who have voca-
tions that are trying to the nerves.
