Not Guilty.

It is not always a guilty conscience
that is taken by surprise, for some
times the most innocent of men will
start at suspicious word. The fol-
lowing incident. which occurred In a
hardware show, Is Illuminating:
An elderly lady. dressed severely in

Bells,

Bells are understood to have had
their origin in China, but at SO remote
time that no precise date can be
given. Their first use was to clear the
air of evil spirits and to drive of the
storms. Old European records tell
how the tolling of bells kept the
devils from assaulting believers;
hence their connection with churches.
Bells may be traced in Europe back
to the sixth century. but were not
generally introduced into the western
church much before the eighth CEN
tury.

Starch, like everything else. is be-

Starches put on the market 25 years
ago are very different and inferior to
