eradicate completely, but when we
think of what has been done in one
generation, how the mortality in
many places has been reduced more

places 100 per cent.-it is a battle Of
hope, and so long as we are fighting
With hope, the victory is in sight"

two-minute harness, with bits and
topples, such as any light horse would
have. He is docile as an old COW, ac-

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.
