Laundry work at home would be

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness 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

FAMILY FOOD.

A little boy down in N. c. asked his
mother to write an account of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam
lily.
She says Grape Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte. where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice Of his physician. She
says:
They derive so much good from it
that they never pass a day without
using it. While was there used the
Food regularly. gained about Is
pounds and felt SO well that when re-
turned home began using Grape-Nuts
in our family regularly.
my little 18 months old baby short
ly after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
it was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her.
One day happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm
milk.
well, 1t worked like charm and
she began taking it regularly and i'm
provement set in at once. She is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
Sometime ago several Of the family
were stricken with LaGrippe at the
same time, and during the worst stages
we could not relish anything in the
shape of food but Grape-Nuts and
oranges. everything else nauseated us.

This singular growth consists Of
stem jointed like bamboo, with
green leaves growing directly from
the bark, and slender white roots
sspringlng from the joints, with which
it maintains its hold upon the bark
of the tree whereon it grows When
it has attained length of three or
four feet the lower sections Of the
lizard plant drop off, and, fastening
upon any convenient object, begin
their Independent growth.
When thus growing upon the
ground, if the plant encounters tree,
