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 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 trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
f1ance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength thaDA other makes.

Merton on his Opportunity.

The new insurance law OF the State
Of New York has opened up . promis.
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy In the sale Of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies. each Of
which practically bears the hall mark
OF the State Of New York. and this new
order Of things has. established the
sale Of life insurance on Q correct
basis.
Tho prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out Of the business the old
type Of insurance agent. who In many
cases virtually bought business. with
large rebates. instead Of selling 1t.
His place IL being taken by profes.
sors. lawyers. school teachers Of both
sexes, and others. who find that being
q life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vacations. The law has
reduced commissions but all Of the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance IL something that
everyone needs and under the pres.
emit system its sale Is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Mortons president Of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or.
ganization that IL in keeping with the
demands Of public sentiment. and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: I'VE want new agents. both
men and women. but none except en-.
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy Of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force Of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts Of the country.
