The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
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

HOW MANY OF US?
Fail to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments.

A KY. lady, speaking about food.
says: Il was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
After l had run down seriously my
attention was called to the necessity
OF some change in my diet, and I dis
continued my ,ordinary breakfast and
began using Grape-Nuts with a good
quantity Of rich cream.
In few days my condition
changed in remarkable way, and 1
began to have strength that / had
never been possessed of before, q
vigor OF body and a poise of mind
that amazed me. It was entirely new
in my experience.
My former attacks of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes.
and many times'my condition was dis
tressing, with blind spells of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when / have
INDUCED in rich. greasy foods in
quantity, then would be warned by
pain under the left shoulder blade,
and unless needed the warning the
old trouble would come back. but
when / finally got to know where
these troubles originated I returned
to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the
pain and disturbance left very quickly.
Il am now In prime health as q re-
suit of my use Of Grape-Nuts. Name

THE NEGLECTED WIFE.
SHE.


You used to kiss me fondly
When you come home TO tea,
But now you read your paper
And hardly notice me;
You used TO say you loved me,
You praised my eyes and hair,
But now you never tell me
That / am sweet or fair;
You used to take me strolling
At dusk beneath the trees.
And often, after dinner,
You held me on your'knees;
You used TO be so tender.
So thoughtful and so true,
And you were interested
In all l had to do:
But now you never listen
To what have to say.
The love | had is only
A memory to-day.
HE.
All. foolish girl, IT'S yours.
The love you're signing for
But there--keep still-Tm anxious
To read about the war.

that go to make one beloved He ra-

and his boyish ways were such as to
suggest for him a stable and val
liable career.
And then, just as he was about to
graduate from the high school of the
village, he became i'll. His illness
soon took an alarming turn and in
three days our classmate and friend
was dead. What a gloom the news
cast over that schoolroom. How our
eyes filed with tears and our threats
choked with lump that would not
stay down. On his desk we twined
crepe and flowers. The school poet
wrote poem about the boy which the
teacher read and nobody, not even the
toughest boy in school, was ashamed
OF the tears he shed. In the quiet
home cemetery they laid him, and we
stood beside the grave to do him
honor and reverence.
For score of years he has slept

That many of the odors and much Of
the dirt which gets into milk is during
the process of milking, most Of us know,
hence every precaution to overcome
this should be taken. One of the best
methods of protecting the milk in the
pail is to arrange cover of tin and
cheese cloth. Have a tin cover made to
go over the pail loosely so as to allow
for the space taken by the cloth strainer.
The tin cover should be higher in the
center than at the sides (see small cut
to right) and hole about four inches
in diameter made In the front center
through which the milk is directed.
Then have plenty of cheese cloth COW
ers large enough to reach five or six
inches over the side Of the pail, where
1t may be secured by tape or by slip
ping hoop Of sheet iron of proper
size over it, and pushing it down hard.
