For his pride's sake it is TO be
hoped Baron M%unchausen did not see
this in the Metz Times: "A Bacon
township farmer had been bothered
for weeks with a large flock OF black
birds. Seeing them perched on his
barn one morning he ran TO the house
for his shotgun. Quickly proceeding
70 load Il he discovered that he was
out Of shot Grabbing up a paper OF
tacks, he poured the contents into
the gun, and then hurrying to the
barnyard he turned both barrels loose
at the flock. Imagine his surprise
when he found that he had tackled
every last one OF the birds 20 The
barn roof. While calling his wife to
see what a good shot he had made. he
was again surprised 10 see the hock
OF birds hy on with the roof"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch we're used. In order TO get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces-
sary to S so much starch that the
beauty end fneness 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 car be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as IT can be applied
much more thinly because OF its great
er strength than other makes.
