Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
Ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

General Baker Reminiscent.
Senator Eherhart said that the citi,
Gems of NIankato and Blue Earth coun-
ty ought to appreciate what the fair
officers have done. The fair will com
pare favorably with any, and he had
seen state fairs with poorer exhibits.
He then introduced General Baker, who
said that he had come to Mankato forty
nine years ago. and he had seen a world
OF development and improvement since
then. Few are here now that were here
then. He had witnessed the development
of Minnesota from a territory to mag
nificent state, and had known all of the
governors. They had been personal
friends of his. Governors Ramsey and
Pillsbury could not speak as well as Mr.
Cole, but it is not good speakers who
make the best governors. Mr.. Cole will
make splendid governor.
General Baker expressed his heartfelt
gratitude for his nomination as senator
saying: Il can Only y, say that if elected
/ will endeavOr so to act that the people
OF the state will know that Blue Earth
county is on the map, and will give the
state the benefit of such experience as |
have had. / hope to make record such
as you and my family will be proud of
and my associations with the public men
of the state are such that it will help
carry out my undertakings"

HIT BY A CYCLONE.
Springfield Shaken Up. BY. q. Heavy
Wind Storm.

Sleepy Eye, Sept. 2l.-The village of
Springfield was struck by cyclone
Wednesday evening about six o'clock
and considerable damage was done in the
residence portion of the town. Shade
trees were uprooted and shingles were
torn from many houses. In the vicinity
southwest of Springfield corn suffered
some damage and the grain in stacks
was strewn all over the fields. Citizens
of that town are, however, jubilant over
the fact that the cloud raised before
striking the business portion of the vii
lage. Passengers on the local passenger
train which arrived in that place at the
time when the cyclone struck were given
a good scare, and the train was held for
some time until after the storm. =
The principal losses it caused were the
following:

The chief public prosecutor gives the
officers description of the much want

crime with which he has been charged.
Sternickel was born on May IL, 1866,

.,fta /, Are Sacrificed
State Official Declares Adulterated
Foods an Appalling Menace.

At "a recent meeting, of the executive
committees of the National Association
Of State Dairy and Food Departments.
the secretary of a state board made
the assertion, and produced figures to
prove it, that the death of nearly half
a million little children in America
last year was due to poisons admins
tered in impure foods.
Welcome, indeed, is food that Is
known to be pure and wholesome, rich
in nutrition and good to eat,-so good
that no other food can take it's place.
We refer to Malta-Vita, that delicious
crisp, whole-wheat food. Among all
the cereal foods we believe Malta-Vfta
is the only food that is simply and
wholly pure grain product and nothing
else, except a little salt. 1t is free
FROM any foreign sweetening agent or
other adulterant, and is made in abb
,solute cleanliness.
A perfect breakfast is, impossible
without Malta-Vita, and it's just as
good three times a day. Containing
every food element of the best white
wheat and pure barley malt extract; it
is intensely vitalizing and easily di-
gested. Let your children have all the
Malta-Vita they want and you need not
fear for their health. Try some your
self with cream, or fruit. You never
tasted anything quite so good. All
grocers, now 10 cents.
