He Was Well Equipped.

A Methodist bishop was recently a
guest at the home of a friend who had
two charming daughters. One morn

two young ladies, went out in the hope
of catching some trout. An old fisher
man, out for the same purpose, wish
ing to appear friendly, called out:
"Ketchin many, pard?"

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 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 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
or strength than other makes.

given to starching, the first essential

"Cut your hair, pull your teeth. Pull

That is the esteem in which the dental
profession is held in many parts of Tur-
key.
In the interior country the practice of
dentistry could hardly be called profess

are frequently BARRIERS, who pull teeth in
connection with their tonsorial occupation

Always have the window up, or else
down from the top, but never let the breeze
blow directly across the bed when you are
sleeping. 1t chills the blood, which stops
its free circulation, thus giving disease a
chance.
Deep breathing feeds the blood with
oxygen, cools the system and carries off
carbonic acid gas, which is poison. Car
bonic acid gas creates heat, thus causing
fat. Fat is degenerated muscle. Thus
deep breathing kills fat in and about the
chest and heart and creates muscle in its
stead. The chest and stomach become

Orpha1age Work Day.

Attention is called to the concert
Of action among the orphan institu-.
tlons Of Saath Carolina with regard
to special work day effort Saturday,
Sept. 25th next. Thornwell Orphan
age, Connie Maxwell Orpharage and
Epworth Orphanaee have definitely
planned for the success Of the day
and are circulating literature upon
the subject. We presume that every
orphan institution, Of whatever size
or under whatsoever auspices. will be-
glad to have its friends remember it
on this day.
The plan is simple enough. Let
every boy and girl. every man and
woman, young and old, devote the
income Of the day to the Orphanage
of his choice. Some Of the children
may pick cotton, others may gather
up old iron and sell it. some will do
odd jobs. others will devote their sal
airy or wages Of the day to the care Of
the orphans.
Coming down to the plain truth, is
there any cause that warns the
cookies Of the heart like the plea for
the fatheriess? Let the people join
in the work day effort Sept. 25, and
roll up big amount for the orphans,
and forward the same to such insti-
tuition as each may select.-Baptist
