BRIGHT IDEA.

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 %stitfen, without t~hickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

AT a small country clearinghouse
sort down in ole Virginie," this past
summer, the girls decided to give a
dance in the town hall on the mutual
benefit plan, so to speak. Half of the
expenses of the hall, music and re,
freshments, it a planned, should be
borne by them and the other half by
the men. The fair chairman of the re
freshment committee, in exhorting the
prospective dancers to make no mis-.
take in the details agreed upon,
wrote:
THE girls will furnish the sugar
and the men will bring the lemons"

Laundry work at home would be
much 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.

CutIcura Met with Great Success.
Il have two little girls who have
been troubled very badly with eczema.
One of them had it on her lower
limbs. I did everything that I could
hear Of for her, but it did not give
in until warm weather, when it seem
ingly subsidized. The next winter when
it became cold the eczema started
again and also in her head where it
would take the hair out and leave
bare patches. At the same time her
arms were sore. the whole length of
them. I took her to a physician, but
the child grew worse all the time. Her
sisters arms were also affected. I be-
gan using Cuticura Remedies, and by
the time the second lot was used their
skin was soft and smooth. Mrs. Charles

Hints on Hemmino.

Hemming on lightweight wool goods
should be done by hand.
Use a short needleful of split silk.
1t makes a prettier hem.
And does away with the tight twist

1t is a perfect match.

When thousands of women say that they have been
cured of their ailments by a certain remedy, does this not
prove the merit of that remedy?
Thousands of women have written the story of their
suffering, and have told how they were freed from it by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound : for thirty
years these reports have been published all over America.
Without great merit this medicine could never have
gained the largest sale of any remedy for woman's ills
never could have become known and priced in nearly every
country in the world.
Can any woman let prejudice stand between her and that
which will r0store her health? If you believe those who
have tried it you know this medicine does cure.
Read this letter from a grateful woman, then make up
your mind to give Mrs. Pinkham's medicine a chance to
cure you.
