will have Defiance Starch not alone
because they get one third more for
the same money but also because ot
superior quality
A good name is rather to be chosen
than great characters
The individual who ignores a chance
to get even is wise

Dickens Prefaces
Students of Dickens will be inter
ested in a collection of all the prefaces
written for his books which is a fea
ture of a new English edition of his

consideration of the Commandant and
Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home here is the health
of the Veterans Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause of ailment

Too many second claispoliticianS
are drawing first class salaries
It takes more than
