Radlshe5 In North China and in

are grown every year, and they are

These radshcs are grown on Amer

the American climate, and probably
would have weighed five pounds when
full grown.
When these fellows are grown In
China they rapidly form great bril-.

strange vegetables are exceedingly
delicate in favor and texture when
grown under favorable conditions.

One morning The grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of Our trouble and advised Postum.

what my husband would say--he was
fond of coffee.
But l took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used a cup of
It since. You should have seen the
change In us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after began Pos.
tum. My children love it and It does
them good. which cant be said of
coffee.
"A lady visited us who was always
half sick. | told her I'd make her a
cup Of Postum. She said 1t was taste

Armor Trust Ahead,

The Armor Plate trust has won out
In its fight with the rival Midvalc
company and has been awarded one
half the armor plate contract. The
Midvale company's bid was $i7 ton
lower than the. bid of the Carnegie
company and S5S a ton lower than the
Bethlehem company proposed to sup
ply plate for but, of course, the trust
represented by the two last named
powerful interests was too potent with
a Republican administration to be
turned aside There is some satisfac-
tion that the trust had to accept the
same price as the Midyale company of.
fcred which Is 5000 a ton less than
the trust charged the government be-
fore there was competition. Whether
any decker was made with the trust to
pay bonus to the Republican cam
paIgn fund for this favor has not yet
been developed.
How the Armor Plate trust has plum.
dered the government by It's extortion-
ate charges is shown in the following

The extraordinary popularity OF fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being FREQ
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity OF
Starch necessary, with the result OF
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1906-08-31

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fne
wash goods when new, owe much Of
their attractiveness to the way they
are Numbered, this being done in
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory IL proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.
