A DENTIST.

A town of almost, If not quite, pop
ulation of one thousand, with fair
prospect that it will be considerably
added to in the near future, and not a

many ship us one. He must under

LEAVENWORTH NEEDS.
Some of the Lines which Are Not
Represented and in Which There
Is An Opening for the
Right Man.

If any of our readers know ofa friend
who will fit any of the following places
let him know about Leavenworth.
A STEAM LAUNDRY.
There is no reason why some one who
understands the steam laundry business
could not do well here. There are now
over two hundred working men here,
many OF them, perhaps one-half. are
single and in the railroad employe, it
will only be a matter of a few weeks
when the big mill will be running,
when another two hundred men will be
added to the wage earners. Every
week some half dozen large laundry
baskets are sent off to Spokane and
Wenatchee laundries. II you are a
laundry man and looking for location
or you are not satisfied with your pres
ent location come and see for yourself.

I'VE advertised and employed de-

He also appeared to have wife
named Lenora, whose hair was called

May. My husband always went away
in that month and was absent two
weeks. 1t was thought by some that
Ashley and Hamilton were one and

You looked sickly, old, and bent. Your

One Industry Enterprising Town For
got to Mention.
Medicine Hat is one of the towns
pardon us, cities!-in the Canadian
Northwest which is making great
bid Just now for its share of the pres
ent boom in Canada. The mayor OF
Medicine Hat goes so far as to adver-
tise the merits of that noble city in
some Canadian papers. Its virtues
are dwelt upon in these advertise
ments at great length, and particular
stress is laid upon the fact that an
abundant supply of natural gas makes
Medicine Hat particularly favorable
place for the location of manufactur-
ing plants.
Somehow we seem to have heard
the name of Medicine Hat before. II
our memory does not fail us, this is
the place where the weather man says
the cold waves come from. When the
mercury sinks to zero In the Ohio Val
ley this considerable gentleman some
times calls our attention to the fact
that It is 40 below at Medicine Hat.
This does not seem so bad in August
but 1t must be a pretty cold reality In
January.
Medicine Hat deserves its growing
fame. Strange that in his references
to the many advantages of his grow
ing city the mayor of Medicine Hat
never alludes to the cold wave indus
try.-Cincinnati Times-Star.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because 1t
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, TO-
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you

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
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.
