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
er strength than other makes.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The forest
fires which have just laid waste whole
counties in Minnesota, Michigan and
extended into Wisconsin, destroying
many towns and making thousands of
persons homeless, have focused the at
tention of government officials here,
as well as state forest officers on the
enormous losses of forest wealth
which will be on record for the year
1908.
In the whole northern half of the
United States from coast to coast it is
likely that the year will go down as
one of the worst in the last quarter
century. Forest service officials say
that it is doubtful if this years actual
losses from forest fires in all parts
of the country will ever be known,
but it is known that they will be up
high in the millions. The officials say
the fires have started a widespread
movement in many states to check
them by adopting rational systems Of
fire protection.
The government has had much work
in the fire fighting line on the national
forests, but careful patrol and the or
ganization of a force to battle with
the flames have prevented a much
greater destruction. The total cost of
the forest fires on the national for
ests for the season, exclusive of the
salaries of forest officers. will not be
more than $4,000.
