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 it's great
er strength than other makes.

mains, at least fifty have no paupers.
One-half the county poor farms are
empty, save for the keeper, who draws
his salary and waits for patronage.
Some of the sociological students, who
add to their philosophy the economics
of living, declare that the poor houses
will soon be an extinct institution in
Kansas.

proach, resentment and menace, he ex-

rendered his resignation, to take effect
Marcn /. To the patrons of that finan-
cial institution Mr.. Childs has become
such familiar figure that it will be
hard to realize that he is not still po-
tent factor in its affairs. For two years

ier and with honesty and fidelity per-
formed the exacting and multifarious
duties Of that positiod of trust and res
possibility. 1t is seldom that one of
the age of Mr.. Childs--for he has not
yet reached 30--is favored with such
rapid promotion. No one stands high

Fallon than he, and his decision to re-
tire from the bank will be regarded as a
distinct loss to the whole community
and entered on the ledger as such.
Mr., Childs has no deflnate plans for
future, though he has hattering offers
In other places. He may decide to re-
main In Fallon and embark In some
line Of business, and 1t is to be hoped
that this will be his final decision.
