The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
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
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a

given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient

SYSTEM JULY |
EnQineer Wilson Tells C0un,
Gil Of Work al Intake

City Engineer Wilson informed the
council at last nights meeting that the
new gravity water system will be full
ly completed not later than July l, and
that water will be turned on through
the new settling basins by that date.
Construction work on the settling
basins and new concrete dam is being
rapidly pushed to completion. The set
Ting basins will be lined within
week and the only work remaining on
that portion of the system is some fill
ing behind the walls which is unim-
portant and can be finished after the
water is turned on.
The council last night instructed the
water committee to purchase 80 bar
rels of cement to be used in completing
the new concrete dam at the head
works. Several bids We're opened but
owing to the council being unfamiliar
with the brand offered by one of the
bidders, the awarding of the contract
will be deferred until the different
brands are fully investigated. Cation &
Buffum submitted the lowest bid, $4.10
per barrel for the Eddystone brand
delivered on board cars at Tracy, form
erly Dudley station. The Jones Scott
company offered to furnish the cement
for 1929 per barrel at Tracy.
The council last night awarded the
contract for building a five room resi-
dence at the headworks to John Cum
bingham whose bid was $1,325. The
residence will be used by the dam

Run Away With Bessie.

He seemed to think it was fun to
hurt me in every way he could think
Of, and often scared me by threaten
ing to run away with Bessie. Sunday
morning he came home about 3 o'clock,
and began beating and kicking me.
Finally he said that he was going to
run away with Bessie that morning. He
picked up the child and started to
dress her. 1 grabbed hold of him and
tried to take the girl away from him,
but he laid her down on the bed where
could not reach her, and then beat
and kicked me SO hard that 1 could not
stand it, 1 ran out of the house to get
some neighbors to help me, but their
houses were all dark and I hated to
wake them up, so 1 returned to the
house.
MY husband had Bessie nearly
dressed, and again he struck and kicked
me when 1 tried to interfere, and
drove me out of the house. That is the
last time l saw Bessie. l ran over to
the house Of Mrs. Wilson who lives
near, and woke her up. 1 tried to get
her to come over and help me, but she
said that she did not think my hus-
band would take the child with him,
but was just trying to tease me. She
would not come. so l ran back home,
but my husband was gone and had
taken Bessie with him.
Il told the police, but 1 understand
they have found no trace of either my
husband or of Bessie. I don't care
anything about ever seeing him again,
but what will become of my little girl?
My husband will not support her, for
he always drinks up all the money
he can get, and, besides, he is not fit
to have charge Of a child.
"Since my husband left, the neigh
bors have helped me some. but it has
been pretty hard 1 expect my brother,
