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-
bic 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.

A Little courtship Comedy.

A good-looking, well-to-do bachelor
OF Manchester was being leased BY
some young women of his acquaint
ance for not being married. He said:
I'll marry the one Of you whom on a
secret vote you elect to be my wife"
There were nine women in the com.
pany. Each one went into a corner
and used great caution in preparing
her ballot and disguised her handwrit-
ing.
The result was that there were nine
votes cast, each receiving one. The
man remains bachelor, the friend
snip is broken up, and the women, all
mortal enemies. united in the one de-
termination that they viii not speak to
the man again.-The Taller.

that this man bought five barrels of

Never feazed him. He turned nv

headaches disappeared and also the

Naturally have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
marked benefit where coffee has been
left on and Postum used.
I observed a curious fact about
Postum when used among mothers. It
greatly helps the flow of milk in cases
where coffee is inclined to dry II nm
and where tea causes nervousness.
