MORE oEs.aAsLe THAN BEAUTY
Writer Makes Good Argument in Fa
vor of Neatness.

We all long for beauty, but there
is within the grasp of all women
something even more desirable than
beauty-namely, exquisite neatness.
The writer has descanted on the de-
STABILITY of neatness more than once,
but it is something that will bear to
be talked about more than once, or
twice, or even dozen times. Faith"
says Pat, when reproved for lying.
"Oi have such respect for Truth, OF
Wud not be dhragging her out on every
occashun." The writer differs in this
respect from Pat. She has such a re-
spect for neatness that she would be
dragging her out on every occasion.
A man who had travelled much and
seen many women in many countries,
said the other day, Il prefer neatness
to beauty. Beauty does not last, while
the woman of so can still be charm
ingly neat" By neatness he meant
more than simple tidiness. 1t 1nclud-
ed style and care and taste and the
indefinable art of putting on ones
clothes properly. 1t is faculty, alas,
that Canadian women do not possess
to any extent, says writer in the
Montreal Herald. They doubtless in
herit the lack of it from their English
ancestors. who are noticeably untidy.
The mass of Englishwomen do not
seem to know the meaning of the
word. Their skirts and belts always
separate at the back. Their hair is
never beautifully coffed like the
Frenchwoman's, their whole aspect is
frowsy to an extreme. OF course, this
1oes not apply to all Englishwomen.
There are exceptions to every rule.
On the other hand, the Americans are
neat, and hence smart, for it is i'm
possible to be smart without perfect
Ueatness They have a trim, trig way
of wearing their clothes that gives a
style to the cheapest ready-made. If
you cannot be beautiful you can at
least be charmingly neat. And neat
ness has an attractiveness that mere
beauty lacks.

Future Hardwood SuppIY.

Americas future hardwood supply

itchian mountains, according to the
forest service. The other chief cen
iers Of production are now in the lake

the production of hard woods has
reached its height, and in Missouri

The Appalachians contain the largest

United States. and have the greatest

their forests would produce 20.000,000.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got In such bad condi
tion that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and I hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
II told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
ut was struggle because Of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try It.,
and then 1t was easy to leave off
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear. kidneys grew better until at
last he was new man altogether, as
a result of leaving Off coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then / began to
drink 1t, too.
Although I was never as bad of
as my husband. was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong. only Weighing 95 lbs. before
I began to use Postum. Now weigh
115 lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size, I think.
MANY do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make 1t right. I have successfully
fooled great many persons who have
drunk It at my table. They would

Sheer white goods. in fact any fine

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much Of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen. without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

Why sIoan's LinIment and Veterinary
Remedioa Are the Reat 70 use

Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
ment and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market to-day. In the first place, DIR.
Earl s. Sloan is the son Of veterin-
ary surgeon, and from his earliest in
fancy he was associated with horses
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practiced as a vet
erinary for 20 years and has battled
successfully with every disease to
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result Of
experiments made to save life or re-
lieve suffering while he was practic-
ing his profession.
Any reader, by writing to DR.. Earl
s. Sloan, 615 Albany Street, Boston,
Mass, will receive "Sloan's Treatise
on the Horse" free This book tells
how to treat horses, cattle, hogs, and
poultry.
Gilpin observer., 1908-01-09

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 stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

Travellers Picture Books.

Picture books for the benefit of trav-
elers are kept in the Paris police sta
tions. 1t frequently occurs that for
eigners lose things which they are
unable to describe, because of their
unfamiliarity with the French Ian
guage. The picture books contain rep
reservations of various articles, and
the inquirer has only to turn the
leaves and point out the illustrations
which resemble the property he lost.
Gilpin observer., 1908-01-09

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 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.

be much better off, said W. S. Mitch
ell of Corpus Christi, Tex, at the
Hotel Duncan. People who live in
coast towns and who have sea foods
day in and day out never suffer from
Indigestion like the folk who eat
steaks, bacon and ham. The flesh Of
q fish contains greater nourishment
and is most healthful. Up in this
part of the country it is almost i'm.
possible to get fish well cooked So
few people know how to prepare them
just right. Baltimore American.
