The woes OF the amateur gardener

A young man, recently married,
early in the spring secured a sub
urban place. mainly with the idea OF
fresh, homegrown vegetables Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush out to his garden
where he displayed more energy than
skill But, alas! When many little
green things began to break the

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 fineness 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 trou.
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as It can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

FORAKER SPEAKS
 OF NOMINATION
REPLIES TO STATEMENT OF COX THAT NEITHER HE NOR TAFT WOULD BE SUPPORTED BY OHIO FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

Cincinnati, May 4.-Senator J. B. Fo5.i1er, in speaking today of the an- no.n.ement made by George B. Cox, local republican leader, that the Gin cinnati republican organization would indorse neither Taft nor Foraker for the presidential nomination, said:
 'I never contemplated that any one would expect to hold primaries, for it Is so unnecessary after we are through with the elections of this year.
 In the statement l put out at Wash ington I distinctly said that 1t was premature to be considering such mat ters. but in view of the announcements that were being made l took the lib- erty of stating that at the proper time I would ask the state central commit tee to call primaries for the selection of delegates to a state convention to nominate the candidates who are to be elected to office next year. and to eX- press the preference of the republicans of Ohio for President and senator.
 Coupled as the statement was as to primaries, with the declaration that it was not premature, it never occurred to me that any one would expect that we would start in upon the business of next year until we were through with the business of this year.
