Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening

Upton Sinclair, in an address hefore

''The average charity, the charity Of

The rich oppress the poor enormously,
then they help them slightly. 1t is
like the young lady angler.

lady, do you always carry bottle of
liniment with you on your fishi-g ex-

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great im-
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch

finish, equal to that when the goods

"THE MATTER TOO DELICATE"
So Says Preacher, After Spending

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, April l9.-
Rev. Hervey j. Seaman, OF this city, a
well-known minister of the Christian de-
nomination, was committed to the city
jail last evening by Justice Robert Wat
son upon his failure to furnish bond in
the sum of $500 to keep the peace.
Rev. Mr.. Seaman. who is pastor of sew
eral churches IN adjoining counties, was
arrested on the complaint of his wife that
he assaulted her. No more pathetic sight
was ever seen in a police court than this
middle-aged minister of the gospel and
his wife, who together had Travelled hall
of life's journey, standing before the police
court crowd and telling the story Of un-
happy welded life.
Mrs. Seaman stated that she was afraid
for her life, and swore out the warrant
in the belief that her husband would take
her life, as she said he had frequently
threatened. Her story eliminated in the
statement that her hus band had subjected
her to degradation by splitting in her face,
Rev. Mr.. Seaman's account of the do
mestic trouble leading to his arrest con
tanned tho statement that he had used
only such means of correction in his fam
lily as he deemed necessary.
Justice Watson after hearing the evil
dence IN the case, placed the husband
under $500 peace bond, which he was ull-
able to give yesterday, and consequently
spent the night In u cell When asked
this morning If he had any statement tc
make, Mr.. Seaman said it was a mattci
too delicate to discuss for publication
