Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in ~ 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 it 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 De-
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick

Tremor Shakes St. Louis, Memphis,

Mo Damage Reported.

st. Louis. Aug. 22-St. Louis and
vicinity was visited by an earthquake
last night shortly after IL o'clock
Three distinct shocks were felt by
thousands of persons in st. Louis and
st. Louis county, as far as Belleville,
Illinois, as far south as Memphis,
Tennessee, and as far north as Spring
field, Illinois.
While the tremors lasted scarcely a
minute, they were distinct enough to
awaken sleeping residents of the city,
to cause dogs to bark in alarm and
to wake sleeping children who cried
out in terror.
The shocks. from a comparison of
the time they were felt in the districts
visited, seemed to travel from east to
west. There was but an infinitesimal
period between the shocks, but a sec
ond intervening between the first and
second spasms. and about three Sec
onds between the second and third, or
final shock.
The trembling of the earth was ac-
companied by a dull rumbling noise,
which sounded like the passing of a
distant freight train.

was travelling brought DR.. David Liv-

To-day one takes the train at Cape

BEGINNING OF TIME TABLES.
Railroad 9nides of Early Days Are Now
Curious Relics.

Curious Relics.
IL Is Just sixty-hve years ago since
george Bradshaw, the Quaker en-
grayer and map-maker Of Manchester
hngiand, was first inspired to publish
his Time Table" II was tinv
pamphlet bound in green cloth, and
was nothing more than collection Of
the monthly time tables issued by the
seven railway companies then In ex.
istence In England. OF this volume
there are now only four copies I'm ex-
istence. but they are worth their
weight In gold.
30 encouraged was Bradshaw by
the success Of this time table that I'm
lS4o he published his Railway Com
panion," volume OF thirty
pages with maps which sold at a shil-
ling. These early guides were pub
lished rather irregularly because Of
the difficulty Of learning the changes
In times from the railway authorities.
They resented Bradshaw's interfer.
ence and put every obstacle In the
way Of his obtaining information. Al
last through the Quaker's persever.
ance, they finally agreed TO adjust
their time tables by the beginning Of
the month. Thereafter It was smooth
sailing. The guide continued to grow
and prosper and to make itself nee
essity.
These early railway guides make in
, teresting reading. The trains are de
scribed as frst-class, second-clas
mixed. fast and mail. Third-class trav
elers had the choice Of sitting on tn
roofs or in pen wagons resembling cal
tie trucks. Gentlemen riding In thei
own carriages were charged second
class fare. Baggage was carried o
the roof, and passengers who sat ther
q were cautioned to wear their owe
2 coats and provide themselves wit
gauzs spectacles. First-class fare b.

just Discrimination in Railway Rates

just Discrimination in Railway Rates.
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way are
likely to agree with President Samuel
Spencer of the Southern railway when
he says: "There is no division oil
opinion as to the desirability of stop
ping all secret OF unjustly discrimina-
tory devices and practices OF whatso-
ever character.
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of unjust
ly discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes a distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates which
is lust, reasonable and imperatively re-
ouired by the complex commercial and
geographical conditions with which ex-
merit rate makers have to deal. To abol-
| ish such open and honest discrimina-
ton might paralyze the industries OF
cities. states and whole sections OF our
national territory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions of the interna'
tional Railway congress, published yes
terday:
..TarifFs should be based on commercial prin
cipiee taking into account tie special condi
