Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In. order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and f1neness 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-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
CT strength than other makes.

An Old Feud.

Fort Worth, Texas-While he bore
the reputation of a bad man." ]. B.
Miller of this city, one of the four
men. lynched at Ada, Okla, was pop
ular among a class of citizens here.
His wife and three children are held
in high esteem. Reports vary as to
the number of men Miller has killed,
estimates place it anywhere from ten
to thirty. He was one of the last of
the old time Texas cattle kings among
whom it was a custom to use the
six-shooter in defense Of any of their
rights.
Burrell has many relatives in
Texas He was a large cattle owner,
it is said. Joe Allen and Jesse West
of Canadian, Texas, are reported to
be wealthy and own large tracts OF
lands and herds of cattle.
There was an old feud existing be-
tween these men and former Marshal
Bobbitt, and years ago it is said
Bobbitt forced Allen and West to flee
to Texas because of alleged highway
robbery and cattle thefts.

FOUR Men LYNcHED
BY OKLAHOMA MOB
VICTIMS WERE WHITE MEN AND
WEALTHY RANCH OWNERS.
CHARGED WITH KILLING OFFICER
Went Quietly at Early Hour in Morn
ing to JaiI-MiIIer Had Killed
Thirteen Men in Texas.

Ada, Okla.-Two hundred determ-
med citizens of Ada, practically all of
them of the better class, disguised
with the kind of justice melted out to
criminals in the smaller towns of Ok
lahoma, early yesterday took the law
into their own hands and hanged four
men for the murder of former United
States Marshal A. L. Bobbitt The
lynchers' victims are: J. B. Miller, FIT.
Worth, Texas, cattleman; B. B. Bur
ren, Duncan, Okla, ranch owner;
Jesse West, Canadian, Texas, ranch
owner; Joe Allen, Canadian, ranch
owner.
In business-ike manner, the mem
bers of the mob, apparently by a pre-
arranged plan, quietly congregated at
a spot not far from the county jail
shortly after o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Electric light and telephone
wires had been previously cut. tall,
heavy set man, wearing a SLOUGH hat,
appeared to be the leader of the
lynching party.
On the way to the jail the men were
met by County Attorney Robert VIM
bish, who had received word that a
mob was forming. The crowd came
to a stop at his request. Attorney
Wimbish said:
Attorney Makes Appeal.
Men of Ada: You are dfsgracin
this community in the eyes of the
world. Think this matter over calm
ly and let the law take its course I
appeal to you as an officer of the
law to return to your homes
The mob listened attentively, then
proceeded on it's way.
Only one man, Guard Mccarthy,
was on duty.
Mccarthy" said the leader, open
this door at once. We mean business.
Hurry. It's near daylight
you might as we'll go home boys"
responded the officer, this door will
never open from this side.''
Struck Down Guard.
The mob threw themselves against
the frail jail door, which gave way,
and rushed in. Mccarthy was struck
with a revolver and rendered uncon-
scious. West was the only prisoner
who resisted. He fought desperately
The others made no resistance.
The mob led the four men to
barn few hundred feet away. The
four victims stood in a straight line
Tell us what you devils know
about Bobbitt's murder shouted the
mob leader.
West answered for the four. He
said:
I'VE don't know who you men are,
and we don't care. For myself,
know if had six-shooter a few of
you would bite the DUST but that's
talk as long as my 'shootin' irons in
Texas. You boys appear to have a
job to do. Why don't you do it? We
won't tell anything, and you ---"
THE ropes" the leader broke in,
and the four unfortunate men were
carried to a beam and strung up. Just
before the rope was placed about his
neck, Miller calmly removed a dia-
mond from his shirt front and re-
quested that it be sent to his wife
in Fort Worth, Texas. From his neck
tie he drew out a diamond scarf pin,
with the request that it be given to
Guard Mccarthy for his kindness to
him The men then dispersed. At
daylight the bodies of the lynched
men were cut down.

"coFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME"
Tales That Are Told.

ST was one of the kind who wouldn't
believe that coffee was hurting me-"
says a n. Y. woman. you just couldn't
convince me its use was connected
with the heart and stomach trouble
suffered from most Of the time.
My trouble finally got SO bad I
had to live on milk and toast almost
entirely for three or four years. Still
/ loved the coffee and wouldn't believe
it could do such damage.
What I needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.
81 had read much about Postum,
but never thought it would fit my case
until one day 1 decided to quit coffee
and give it trial and make sure about
it. So I got a package and carefully
followed the directions.
Soon I began to get better and was
able TO eat carefully selected foods
gestants and it was not long before
was really a new woman physically.
Now 1 am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along and I know this wonder
full change is all due to my having
quit coffee and got the nourishment I
needed through this delicious Postum.
MY wonder is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the troubles
that go with it and build themselves up
as 1 have done, with Postum
Easy to prove by 10 days trial of
Postum in place of coffee. The reward
is big.

A story comes from the east which
indicates the American readiness for
catching on" to modern devices. Cey-
lon is the center of a large pearl-f1sh-
ing industry. Hitherto the method has
been to dredge the oysters and break
them open to find the pearls. But a
small proportion Of the bivalves con-
tain pearls, and the old process was
both tedious and wasteful The bright
American has turned the X-ray to good
account. The oysters are dredged up
as usual and then the X-ray is applied
Oysters which have pearls of sufficient
dimensions in their insides are kept
and opened, while those which have no
pearls or pearls not Of merchantable
size are thrown back into the water,
where they will have another chance
Thus do science and good practical
sense tend to conservation.

Is gluttony a cause Of drunkenness?
At the recent meeting in New York
city OF the American Society for the
Study of Alcohol several speakers pro
nounced it the main cause. DR.. D. H
Kress of New York said that appetite
for alcohol could be eradicated by liv-
ing on vegetable diet for six months,
and that the same regimen would abol-
fish the taste for tobacco, says the Troy
Times. He gave this short prescrip-
ton for the cure of inebriety: IF you
are drunkard, quit eating meat" DR..
G. H. Benton of Chester, w. Va, went
into the subject more deliberately,
thus:
Men OF to-day are overfed from the
cradle to the grave. Nature pours out
just sufficient fluids for digestion to
supply the needs Of the body, but not
sufficient to assimilate all the foods
that people habitually pour into their
stomachs." He declared that poisons
are thereby produced which attack the
nervous system, bringing on feeling
Of discomfort which is obliterated by
the narcotic effect of alcohol.
On the other hand it is to be remem-
bered that workers in the slums al
most invariably reach the conclusion
that the main cause Of the drink evil
among the poor is innutrition. The
statement has often been made that
starvation and badly cooked food are
responsible for considerable share of
the drunkenness in large cities, and
that the most efficient way of cam
paigning against drunkenness is to es-
tablish temperance kitchens.
Irregular hours for meals might be
mentioned as third cause Of over-in-
diligence in strong drink. Whatever
makes men regular and temperate in
general will tend to make them regular
and temperate in the use Of intoxi-
cants.
