Hard Worked Woman Not Ready to

A Massachusetts man, whose busi

ing ho was a guoBt at a farm house in
that state when he observed that the
wife of the owner a poor, wan Httlo
woman was doing every bit of the
work around the house.
As he himself put it, she did an
amount of work; that would have put
nn ordinary Massachusetts horse to
shum'e and he really felt like a vil
lain sitting there watching her.
Feeling considerable compassion for
tho woman, who looked as if ready to
drop from overwork, the visitor
asked:
"Why don't you get help here?
Surely you are not going to try to pull
through the long winter without a
hired girl."
A sickly smile came to the pallid
face of tho woman. "Waal, I dunno,"
she said. "I don't feel as if I could
just yit; but p'raps ef I should get to

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get tho
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to uso so much starch that tho
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects tho wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can bo entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly becnuso of its great
