Billy Powell, greatest hurdler the
west has produced, was referring to
his college days on the Berkeley

There were FIVE In the race. I

which gave me a bad finish stretch.
But 1 got a peach Of a start, swept
the curve like a yacht on her beam
ends and came down the straight

to the finish, broke the tape, the
worlds record for the low hurdles,
for the 220-dash, and for the run

hurdles at once, clearing 43 feet and
some inches.
"Whew!" exclaimed Ollie Snedigar,
why weren't the records ever al

CHILDREN SHOWED 1T
Effect of Their Warm Drink in the
Morning.

"A year ago I was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
of giving UP my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
II was telling a friend about 1t and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and 1t is
such a comfort to have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would al
low the childrensto drink any kind Of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition Of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact.
MY first trial was q failure. The
cook boiled 1t four or five minutes and
1t tasted so fiat that | was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the di-
rections and boiled it fifteen minutes
after the boiling began. 1t was a de-

short time I noticed a decided inn

As one of the guests, says the COM

His response was noteworthy.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it 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 trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a 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. Its great strength as a ~stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new
