Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use lheJ
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 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
1907. 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
ters and figures "16 ozs.'' Demand De-
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing. Defiance never sticks.

Effects of Alcohol Upon Digestion.

Prof Kochlakoff of st. Petersburg,
has experimental upon five healthy
persons, aged from twenty-one to TWEEN
ty-four years, with reference to the
effects of alcohol upon digestion. Ten
minutes before each meal, each person
was given about three ounces of alco-
holic liquor, containing from five to
fifty per cent of alcohol, which is
about the proportion found in ordinary
LIQUORS. The following results were
obtained:
''Under the influence of alcohol the
quantity of hydrochloric acid, as well
as the digestive power of the gastric
Juice. is diminished. This enfeebling
of the digestion is especially marked
in persons unaccustomed to the use of
alcohol"
DR.. Figg of Edinburgh made the fol-
lowing experiments to test the inf1u-
ence of alcohol upon digestion: He
fed two dogs equal quantities of roast
mutton. He then administered to one
dog, by passing a tube into the stom-
ach. one and one-fourth ounces of
alcohol. After five hours both dogs
were killed and examined. The one
which had taken no alcohol was found
to have digested the meat entirely,
whereas digestion had scarcely begun
in the animal to which alcohol had
been administered.

A Convincing Test.

In the Far East the Japanese have
won victories which have astonished
the world. They show themselves to
be more enduring, more resistant to
the effects of wounds, keener witted,
sharper in tactics, and quicker in exc
cution than their Russian antagonists.
The Jap is content with simple diet
of rice, peas, or beans, which Is quick
ly Iigested and converted into Drawn
and brains, while the Russian must
have his meat and his vodka
The same dietary, the same simple
ity and naturalness in habits of life,
which give toughness of fiber and en-
durance and immunity against infec-
tion, afford equal advantages in fight
ing the battle of life in any direction
The brain worker who wants to keep
his mental vision clear and desires
power to pursue his subject with un-
ceasing energy, must keep his blood
clean by pure, simple, natural diet
The lawyer, the clergyman, the busl-
ness man, the teacher, the investlga-
tor, the inventor, will find the same
advantages in living in harmony with
natural principles as does the plucky
Japanese soldier who is, for the first
time, testing his metal by great con-
test with an army of civilized men.

STANDARD OIL TRUST.
President Roosevelt Gets After the
Aggregation.

WASHINGTON-Pr Roose-
welt has directed James R. Garfield,
commissioner of corporations of the
department of commerce and labor,
to begin Immediately the oil investi-
cation requested by the house of rep
resentatives in a resolution adopted
unanimously.
The Investigation. by direction of
the president, will be rigid and COM
prehensive.
The president has directed a letter
to Commissioner Garfield, in which
he has given directions and presented
in outline his views.
The inquiry will be pressed as
rapidly as possible. The scope of the
investigation and the time it will oc-
cupy cannot be indicated at this time
Representative Campbell of Kan
sas, the author of the resolution
adopted by the house, had a confer
ence with President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Campbell's idea is that the in
vestigation should concern particular
ly the situation in the Kansas field,
but he expressed to the president his
belief that the inquiry, once begun,
would extend to the operations of the
Standard Oil company in the Beau
mont field of Texas, and perhaps to
other fields.

Alcohol VS.. Lonq Life.

1t is very easy to prove that the in
| fuence of alcohol, as of every other
poison, is to shorten life. DR.. Willard
Parker of New York, shows from sta
tistics that for every ten temperate
persons who die between the ages OF
| twenty-one and thirty, fifty-one lntem-
! perate persons die. Thus it appears
that the mortality of liquor users IS
five hundred per cent greater than
that of temperate persons. These hg-
ures are based on the tables used
by life insurance companies.
Notwithstanding the constant pro-
test of both moderate and immodefate
drinkers, that alcohol does not harm
them, that it is a necessary stimulus,
a preventive of fevers, colds, consump-
ton. etc., and the assertion OF certain
chemists that it is a conservative
agent, preventing waste, and so pro-
longing life, the distinguished Ensllsh
actuary. Mr.. Nelson, has shown from
statistical data which cannot be gam
said. that while the temperate man
has at twenty years OF age an aver
age chance of living forty-tour ana
one-fifth years, the drinking man mas
a prospect of only fifteen and one-hal1
wears of life. At thirty years OF age
the temperate man may expect thirty
six and one-half years more OF lie,
while the dram-drinker will be pretty
certain to die in less than fourteen
years.
On the other hand, the Rechablte
societies in England show statistics
clearly indicating that total abstinence
is in the highest degree conducive to
longevity.

Success Magazine" for February
opens with an article which should
create a decided sensation throughout
the country. 1t is the first of series
entitled THE Shameful Misuse of
Wealth." The author is Cleveland
Monett, a journalist whose previous
work has created a vivid impression
in magazine circles. Mr.. Moffett is
delving into one of the burning ques-
tions of the day. The fact that a set
of people dine at the Hotel st. Regis,
New York, from solid gold service,
and daily with viands that sum up a
total of one thousand dollars a plate,
while seventy thousand poor children
in the same city are obliged to go to
school in the morning without break
fast because their parents are too
poor to buy food, is not a condition
that creates a pleasant picture.

RECIPE

Savory soup-Cook half a pint OF
small navy or soup beans in three
pints of water for two hours, adding
boiling water as needed. In a sepa
rate kettle place two small parsnips
scraped and sliced, one good sized
onion cut fine, two stalks of celery
and half a can of tomatoes. Cover
well with boiling water and cook
until the vegetables are very tender;
then add the beans and press all
through a fine colander or soup-strain-
er. Return to the stove, simmer a
moment, and just before serving, stir
in slowly cupful of hot cream or
rich milk. A can of sweet corn may
he substituted for the beans. AS it
takes less time, and may be put in
with the other vegetables, it is some
times preferred by the housewife who
is her own cook.
Nut cheese.-Take one cup OF raw
peanut butter, one-half cup OF corn
starch. one cup of tomato juice, and
one teaspoonful of salt. Dissolve the
mt butter and cornstarch in the to-
mato Juice; add salt, and beat for
five minutes. Pour into granite
bowl and cover and steam for four or
five hours. Dry off in the oven, and
when cool, slip from the bowl.

IS FOR THE ARMY.
A Circular Issued BY the War De-
partment.

partment.
WASHINGTON-A circular issued
by the war department TO the army
gives the text of letter received by
the secretary Of war from Representa-
tive Littlefeld OF Maine, relative to
the anti-canteen act and the secre-
tary's reply, together with instruc-
tions to officers with respect to their
reports on the subject. In his letter
Mr.. Littlefield states that he is the
author of the anti-canteen amend
ment and adds:
81 regret to say that an impression
prevails that the officers of the army
are not only adverse to this legisla-
ton, but are prejudiced against it. If
this is true it has created an un-
friendly atmosphere that not only will
impair the efficiency of the recreation
and amusement feature, but will of
itself practically defeat the object OF
the legislation"
Secretary Taft, in reply, said:
81 think you are correct in assum
ficers in the army regard the anti
canteen amendment as ill-advised and
likely to increase drunkenness in the
ranks. Indeed, l must admit to you
that as at present advised l share
your opinion.
The secretary says it was the in
tention of those who favored the
amendment to substitute for the can
teen a commodious post exchange,
and the question whether that sys-
tenn is to be maintained or the can
teen with the privilege of drinking
beer and light wines only, will be
settled by congress after careful in
vestigation.
Secretary Taft said that while he
recognized the danger of formed
opinions coloring more or less judg-
ment as to results, obedience to or
ders is with army officers the first
soldierly virtue and if cautioned to
report facts impartially they will
obey the directions Of constituted au-
thority. He then informed Mr.. Little
field that he would transmit the cor
respondence, together with caution,
to all officers, adding:
81 have no doubt of the good faith
and energy with which the officers of
the army are carrying out the pur-
pose of congress in providing the
post exchange and l don't think any
caution in this respect is needed
In his circular to the army the Sec
retary of war requests officers who
in their annual reports are called to
speak of the operations of the anti
canteen act, to present facts whether
pro or con, uncolored by individual
views. He says:
with the good faith of the army
in making these reports, unless on
their face they are impartial state
ments of the facts which have come
to the knowledge of the officers will,
in the heat of controversy certainly
be attackked if there is the slightest
internal evidence of a bias on the
part of the witnesses and the army
officers duty in the premises is to
be merely impartial judges of opera
tions of the act
