MRS.NELLIE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a IRE
brand upon the nerves. consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, h
blues, sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from. some
organic arrangement.
Do YOU experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
IRENE irritability T? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,

dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost

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
er strength than other makes.

WHEN the NEWSPAPERS STOPPED.

WHEN the NEWSPAPERS STOPPED.
Galveston Tribune
That il is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good was aptly illustrated
in the suspension of newspapers in
Butte. Mont. By its compulsory
suspension because of labor troubles
the press of Butte has rendered an
inestimable service to newspapers
everywhere. Indeed, il would al
most appear to be a good policy
for newspapers to shut down &C.
casionally for the good OF the
cause.
Several distinct phases Of the
conditions resulting from the sus-
pension in Butte are noted. One
of particular interest Is the effect
the lack of advertising had on
business. For nee in their live
the merchants faced a condition
and not a theory. Large depart
ment stores, formerly beehives OF
selling activity, took on the air OF
a village country store. New
stocks languished unsought oil the
shelves and clerks hung idle around
the counters, while proprietors
fumed in their Offices and tossed
on sleepless beds at night as they
counted off the expiring days
which brought their bills nearer
due. Some large stores actually
laid off half Of their clerks when
they should have been in the
midst Of the spring rush.
Another point brought out is
the Importance Of the press in
government affairs. Legal adver-
Using has become so common that
the public ceases to realize it must
be published in newspapers issued
regularly at prescribed intervals.
Candidates could not qualify. POI
litical conventions and elections
could not be held. corporations
could not organize, and even the
United States government was
seriously embarrassed with this
arm Of the service paralyzed-a
branch not recognized, il is true,
in the Army and Naval Journal.
but none the less important in the
administration Of national affaiis.
The inconvenience of the public
due to the loss Of news is not par
ticularly dwelt upon in the article,
but il is noted that theaters and
baseball parks were almost put out
of business and that stagnation re-
suited in the stock market from
lack of financial intelligence from
the money centers oi the world.
One of the most signifcal facts
brought out is the amazing num-
Der of falsehoods which gained cir
culation in the absence Of the news
papers. The gossips got busy.
Slander grew brazen in plying her
shameless calling. Dame Rumor
found many Of the thousand
tongues accredited to her by
Shakespeare and resumed the place
in the community FROM which she
had been driven by the press. Ru-
NOR questioned the solvency OF
this or that company and reported
the failure of big concerns. Rumor
killed prominent brewer, made a
former mayor commit suicide and
divorced dozens of couples. For
once people who complained SC
bitterly of newspaper lies realized
the service rendered by the press
in denying false reports and in
printing the truth.
4 Butte has had her lesson. Let
other cities Of the country learn
from her experience.

Some women who ordinarily have no
trouble with their feet suffer great
deal ut this season Of the year from
chatting. While certain remedies, such as
alum water. salt water or cut lemons,
afford temporary relief, it is wiser to OBJ
vinte the cause, which Is due to the rub
bling OF shoes or stockings, sometimes
both.
sle-thrcad hosiery Is sometimes not
tightly twisted. so that there Is no
''give," as In the cotton or silk The
stockings may give trouble If they are
too large, us the wrinkles will chafe the
feet.
However, the main source Of trouble
Is apt to be the shoes: they may be
small. and SO draw, or the trouble may
be with the leather. Chemicals are used
to tan tho leather and sometimes these
chemicals affect the feet, If they have
not been properly evaporated aud worn
out, Another common cause Is tightness.
1t Is the weakness of many women to
show small foot with u close,httIng

Pile have their shoes made really too
tight. II the leather he stiff, the wearer
will feel the pinch somewhere, ana will

Tho nature of many OF the summer
sports is so similar that practically the
