Laundry work at home would be

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it 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
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

So many false formulas and malicious
statements concerning his medicines
had been published through the con-
nivance of jealous competitors and dis
gruntled doctors, that DR.. Pierce deter
mined to completely disarm his assail-
ants by full and frank statement OF
their exact composition, verifying the

rect. This he has done and to the
complete discontinue of those who had
assailed his good name a. well as the
well-earnsd reputation of his world

learned that DR.. Pierce's medicines con-
tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from
native, medicinal roots of great value;
also that some of the most valuable in
gradients contained in DR.. Pierce's Fa-

debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar

New Method of Eyading the Law,

Some fertile-brained individual, who
is willing to 60 the full limit in ord
er to save a paltry dollar required of
him as dog tax, has devised new plan
for getting ahead of both the assessor
and the tax receiver.
Such a man will not change his
tactics any in dealing with the asses
sor. He will simply keep his dog off
the list and when the time arrives
when his pet must show tag or go
the way of all dogs that are not paid
for he will simply steal the tag from
some other dog which has been assess
ed and on which tax has been paid
He will place the stolen tag upon his
own dog. which thenceforth to all ap-
pearances will be one whose owner
has complied with the law.
The first dog hereabout that has fall
en- victim to such theft is the pet
dog known as Buster, belonging to
J. w. Kitchen, the South Danville
barber Busters owner paid the dog
tax last week, securing the coveted
tag, which was attached to the dog S
collar.
Morday Buster was found without
either tag or collar. The latter con-
tanned the dogs name and he had
worn it long time. 1t would be too
easily identified TO be a coveted article
in the hands of thief 1t was not
the collar. therefore, that was wanted
but the tag, which could be used on
another dog.
The guilty party probably did not
stop 30 reason what telltale thing
even the tag might become if placed
on dog with the intent to defraud.
The best thatshe could hope for would
be that the tag would be taken as an
evidence that dog tax had been paid
and that no investigation would be
made. A person capable of such work,
however. is generally regarded with
suspicion in the community.
All the man has to do whose dog
has been robbed of tag is to turn his
attention to the first suspicious person
whose dog carries tag; if he cannot
find out the number it bears visit to
the tax receiver will show whether or
not the man has paid the tax due and
received tag.
