To Keep from InhaIina Dust.

If, when you are ready to do yom
weekly sweeping, you will place &
small piece of cold cream in each nos
tril you will not inhale any dust In
the head, as it will all stick to the
cold cream, and can be easily removed
with a handkerchief This is also
good when riding in the dust durine
the summer, and again in the sharr
winter weather, if you place some OF
the cold cream in your nostri1s before
going out in the air, it often saves
a hard cold, and will be appreciated
by any one troubled with catarrh in
the head.

iNVALID'S SAD PLIGHT.
After lnfiammatory rheumatism, Hair
Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed
Sores Developed-OnlyC Cuti-
cura Proved Successful.

About four years ago I had a very
severe attack of infiammatory rheuma-
tism. My skin peeled, and the high
fever played havoc with my hair,
which came out in punches. I also
had three large bed sores on my back.
did not gain very rapidly, and my
appetite was very poor. I tried many
sure cures but they were of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Re
solvent I had had no real relief. Then
my complexion cleared and soon 1 felt
better. The bed sores went very soon
after a few applications of Cuticura
Ointment, and when 1 used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for my hair
it began to regain its former glossy ap-
pearance. Mrs. Lavina J. Henderson,

CALLER LEFT IN A HUFF.
Innocent Thought of Business Man
That Gave Serious Offense.

Two business men had been talking
good naturedly the other day. Their
conversation had reviewed number of
things, and a remark made by the pro-
prietor as his caller was leaving
brought up the subject of prosperity
In rather awkward way.
Business with me has been a little
dull of late. I've had only a few call
ers," he remarked.
The ersend smilingly rejoined:
You'll have enough of them IN a
short time-prosperity's coming right
along. Why" he added, emphatically,
'the next time I drop around, instead
of being able to chat with you for half
an hour, there'n be so many people
ahead of me that it'll take me two
hours to get to you-maybe 1 can't
see you at ALL"
Il hope so,' rejoined the proprietor,
cheering up over the prospects of re-
newed business activity.
His caller literally "stormed" out OF
the Office, leaving his erstwhile host
in state of bewilderment as to what
had happened.

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-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.
