Every housekeeper should know
that II 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 l6 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in y 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
a 1907. package 1t is because he has
a stock OF hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has

PUTTING UP THE POSTERS.
A Ton of Flour Required to Make Paste
for One Week.


A ton of -four and twenty barrels Of
water are required to make 1000 gal
Ions of paste used each week in stick
ing up the posters advertising the the
aters in Kansas City. says the Kansas
City Journal. The posters themselves
are no small item, as it requires four
wagon loads of them to cover fifteen
miles of billboard in the city, Fifteen
men are employed constantly to
change the posters each week.
The paste. of which so much is
needed. is made in barrels, each of
which holds fifty gallons. About 100
pounds of flour is placed in each
which is then filed with water ard
heated TO boiling with a steam pipe.
It is carried around for use in big
boxes, which fit in the back OF the
wagon used. and which hold a barrel

each week soon accumulate to such

They are then torn off with crowbars
and sold as fuel. They burn very
well, and bring nearly the price of

THE END OF THE GRIP
REACHED AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF
COMPLICATED TROUBLES.


Deafness, Kissing Sounds in Head. Stomach
Disorder. Palpitation of Heart and
Debility Overcome Mt Last.
Mr.. Newman certainly had very
tough time with the grip, and it is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that cured him can't be beat His case
shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New
man S for he had head. heart and stom-
ach troubles combined with great weak
ness. He recently said:
1.-THE attack of grip which had eight
years ago left me in n very bad fix. 1
became nearly deaf and my head ached
continually and was filled with kissing
and roaring sounds. My heart futtered
and had regular running-away spells.
My stomach was SO sore that 1 could
hardly bear touch OH that part of my
body. l had great deal of pain i'll the
region of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. My kidneys
ached SO at times that l could hardly
stand"
Didn't you give up and go to bed?"
he was asked.
"No, 1 simply wouldn't. My head
and my back ached dreadfully, but 1
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing"
What did you do to get relief"
First tried doctor, but he did me
no good. Then I took all kinds of adj
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until began to use DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as I got them I
knew that had ut last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else /
had ever taken. They gave me relief
right away and IN three months they
positively cured me. I think I was
scarcely ever in better health in my life
than am at present"
Mr.. William A. Newman is q we'll
known Camden county farmer, living at
Sagrada. Missouri. His case was Sc
we're test for any remedy, but Or. Will
liams' Pink Pills met every requirement.
Other remedies merely drive the poison
of the grip into hiding, but DR.. Williams
Pink Pills drive it out of the system.
They are sold BY every druggist.

The United States spent last year

q up healthy tissue is no doubt Doctor
ical Discovery. This medicine has been
'ver third of century and numbers
usand.
A tonic made up largely of alcohol
will shrink the corpuscles of the
blood and make them weaker for
resistance. A cod liver oil makes
the stomach groan because it is irri-
tating. What is needed is an alter
alive extract made of roots and
herbs, without the use of alcohol,
that will assist the stomach in as
\ similating or taking up from the
food such elements as are required
for the blood, also an Alternative that
will assist the activity of the liver
and cause it to throw off the poisons
in the blood. When we have accom-
plished this we have put the system in
fortified condition SO strong that it
can repel the germs of disease which
we find everywhere-in the street cars,
the shops, the factories, the bedrooms,
wherever many people congregate, or
where sunlight and good air does not
penetrate.
