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
~. 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 stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

largely used in fertilizers bought by
South Carolina farmers, and pointing
out the effect Of the duty In the

on the free list, the maximum rata
which is to apply is 20 per cent. One
prominent Republican on the com.
mittee told Mr.. Lever that 1t was
put in by mistake. Other members,
Mr.. Lever says, assured him an
amendment would be offered by the
committee taking the duty of OF
potash because it Is contrary to the
intent of the bill to tax anything en-

will tomorrow present brief to the
