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 stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
The Colorado statesman., 1907-04-27

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

Bishop Potter,s Answer.

A young clergyman in a remote

could not marry himself.
The bishops reply was marvellous
ly concise. 1t said:

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in Thousand ap-
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes p painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this perio d
likely to become active and with q
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of I'M
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this grea
change may be expected.

THE KISS IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular
with Eastern Maidens.

She was Japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
"The kiss" she said, blushing faint
ly, was unknown in Japan so years
ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
"Yet it comes as a great shock at
first. 1t is so different, you know,
from anything in a Japanese girls ex-
perience. have known maidens who
tainted at a first kiss that was per-
haps too warmly rendered. Yet these
very maids became afterward ardent
advocates of the new western en-
brace.
Frankly, like the kiss myself. It's
stimulus, and the feeling, as of red
satin, when mouth touches mouth
with a warm, soft shock-yes, frank
ly, | like the kiss, and l find it ex-
tremely difficult to deny an eager
young man so innocent and so delight
lightful an embrace.

ness, and frequently did not reach his
home until the arrival of the midnight
train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the
habit of sleeping peacefully at these
times without fear, but number of
burglaries in the neighborhood during
one Of her husbands trips to New
York had disturbed her calm.
On the night of his return Mr.. Will

front stairs, as was his wont on such
occasions, so that his wife would not
be wakened, when he heard her voice,
high and strained:
