Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II 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 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 it's great
er strength than other makes.

THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
-cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost
Of Seventy-Five Cents.

"My little boy, when only an infant
OF three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and light dress is all he could wear.
1 called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. I had almost given up hope
when lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep. and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up. and in just two weeks from the
day commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost 75c, and 1
would have gladly paid 500 If could
not have got it cheaper. feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now a boy Of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller. Union City,

American Names.


II We have some growing sense OF
a desire to touch with poetry the ter
minology of our American towns we
have succeeded so far only in secur-
Ing slightly picnic grove atmosphere
such as is given off by Lakewood or
Riverside.
The rich sentimentalism of the real
estate dealer has done what it could
considering the hurry he is in. If we
have a new manufacturing suburb,
the chances are we shall be too lazily
and fatty patriotic, call it Lincoln and
be done with it, or too crudely roman
tic. in which case the secretary of
the company will report to the direc-
tors that he has had the place incor-
porated as Ivanhoe
With the slightest dash of poetry
In his soul he might keep true to the
strenuous character of the place with
all its prospective labor agitations,
and at the same time give tinge of
beauty to the situation forever by call
ing 1t Fretley. Or If it is place where
hammers are to ring from morning to
night, why not call it Stroke instead
Of naming 1t Smithville after the pres
ent chief stakeholder in the concern? :?

much touched by the melancholy de-

In riding repeatedly. At last some one
said to him sympathetically:
You appear to be in great dis
tress."
YES" replied the man on the mer-

round and round makes me seasick."
"Well, then, why don't you quit
riding?" asked the inquisitive ques-

to somebody in our house. 1t has lain
around there. in cupboard all this
while. 1t never occurred to us to re-

then it struck me you might be able

can. I had the grip last year wher
1t was put up and I've got the grip
now. 1 can take that medicine as well
as new bottle FULL
mo, you can't" said the clerk.
Some druggists might permit you to,
but we won't. 1t might upset you for
month. Some medicines never lose
their healing power, while others not
only fail to produce the desired ef-
feet, but become positively harmful
after standing few months. The
length Of time medicine retains it's
efficacy depends upon the ingredients.
Some combinations of drugs keep on
good terms with each other indefinite
ly, while others get into row after
being mixed together for a while, and
the man who swallows a dose of the
stuff is apt to feel good deal worse
than before he took it. As rule
medicines that are quite sweet keep
their curative virtues longer than
those that are acid or bitter. Most
any medicine can be taken in safety
six months after compounding, and
many will be all right six years hence.
Those that are not good generally take
on curdled, milky appearance; but
that is by no means an infallible test
and the person who wishes to save his
system uncomfortable complications
would do we'll to let old medicines
strictly alone.''
The man looked at the bottle re-
gretfully.
And that was an expensive pre-
scription, too" he said. 1T seems a
shame to waste it."
Never mind" said the clerk, I'VE
are willing to stand the loss. We
would rather do that than to take
chances On losing a good customer
like you"
