Starch were used. In order TO get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and finencss 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 its great

Your Gawky Boy

That gawky boy of yours
ungainly, gaunt, shy unprepos-
sessing. as he is, - writes Henry
A. Shute in The March Delinea-
tor. You nag him You laugh at
him and ridicule him. Did you
ever realize how it hnrts? You
ought to realize it for it is not
long since you knew how it
felt. You would have stood pain
like man and so does your
boy. You would have borne
privation like a stole. and so
your boy, aud there would have
been grim sort of enjoyment
in it, for the joy of resistance
is fully awake at fourteen.
But you could not bear ridicule
and he cannot, and yet there is
scarcely a day when you do not
cause him sharp discomfort.
The boys mother never does,
this. She loves every awkward
movement of her boy. She loves
his long legs and she loves to
hear his raucous voice. She
smiles at it, too, and at him,
and it is a smile OF genuine
a muse ment, but there is love
in the smile, and love in her
eyes, and he knows it, and
adores her for it.
1t he becomes depressed aud
respondent, he confides his
troubles in his dog, which sits
in front of him gazing at him
with an almost human express
sion of sympathy and puts his
paw on his masters knee.
A bat unfortunate, isn.t it that
your own boy is obliged to
depend on his mother aud his
dog for sympathy aud affectionP
He gets none from you and but
little from his brothers and
sisters. 1t is true, isn't it?
My friend, if you paid as
much personal attention to the
proper development of your
boy as you do in raising the
two minute trotter, or the blue
ribbon Guernsey, or the Black
Strain Jubilee OF Orpington, CT
in beating bogY, or in your game
of whist, you would be astt n
ished at the results.

That warns of the smoke and the noise

And wander enraptured the valley

1t means to desist from the gold grab

And bask in the peace of the countryside

1t means to cut loose from the graft and

And romp on the hillside as innocent

It means to breathe air that is tinctured

And glorify life under skies that are

1t means to be true. to be thoughtful and

1t means to awaken old loves in your

Get out of the streets with their clamor

Get out of the maddening, hardening

Increasing interest in the revival

three other engagements in order to
remain here few days. His theme
Tuesday night was repentance. To

something to say concerning dancing
schools, dancing and dancers He
will speak of games and sports also
theatres and various other perform
anceS such as masquerade balls, mas
querade halloween parties by and for
churches and such like things. Mr..
Shannon says that this address is not
for children but for grown-up folks
and particularly for parents. In fact
ne says that he has but very few
talks for children. He says that il is
next to useless to talk with the child
rem about morals or religion unless
We can have a better parental cooper

Sheriff Has His Hands Full
With Eight Insane Men
Among Them.
ALLOWANCE is TOO SMALL.
LIVING EXPENSES HAS MADE
SUFFICIENT SUM.

Sheriff Meredith now has thirty
prisoners to care for at the county Jail.
This number includes eight insane men
who. the sheriff states, give him more
mates. One insane man is confined
in the padded cell and he is constant
care The sheriff states that he re
ceives no more compensation for the
care of these insane men than he does
for boarding the sane prisoners.
The sheriff of Wayne county still re-
ceives forty cents per day for the board
of each prisoner. This rate was estab-
lished in the days when provisions
could be secured for a song. In those
days a sheriff was able to make ten Oh
fifteen cents per day off each prisoner,
but at the present time, when the price
of provisions is at a high water mark
he is obliged to scheme hard to make
forty cents cover the expense Of pro-
viding each prisoner with three square
meals per day.
The allowance of forty cents for the
daily board of each prisoner was all
wight when potatoes were fifteen cents
per bushel and butter eight cents 4
pound. But at the present time when
potatoes are eighty-five cents per
bushel and butter about thirty cents
per pound. find that it is hard to pro-
vide a prisoner with three good meals
on forty cents" states Sheriff Mere
dith He is not the only sheriff in the
state who has uttered a similar COM
plaint.
