r I Feel So Tired.
How often do we hear this and similar
expressions from tired, overworked women
and weary men, who da not know where to
find relief. For that intense weariness, so
common and so discouraging, we earnestly
recommend Vogeler’s Cuiative Compound.
It is not a stimulant but a true blood purifier
and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure,
which will gradually build up all the weak
organs in such a way as to be a lasting
benefit. A fair trial of a free sample bottle
■which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd., of Baltimore,
Md., will send you for the asking, will con
vince anyone ol its wonderful medicinal
value. It will drive all impurities from the
blood, give nerve, mental and bodily strength
and vigour and make the sufferer wholly a
new being. It creates an appetite, makes one
sleep and makes the weak strong. Do not
forget that Vogeler’s Curative Compound
is made from the formula of a London
physician, who has given years of study to
same. Sample bottle free from St. Jacobs
Oil, Ltd., Baltimore.

Truth is the simples of all virtues;
it requires neither study nor art.
To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
ot everyday use’in the market and who
is reasonably satisfied with the old,
we would suggest that a trial of De
fiance Cold Water Starch be made at
once. Not alone because it is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be
superior to any other brand, but be
cause each 10c package contains
16 ozs., while all the other kinds con
tain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that
the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality and
quantity must win.
Don’t stop the way of a bull or of

Superior quality and extra quantity
must win. This Is why Defiance Starch
is taking the place of all others.

IRON1KO A SHIRT WAIST.
Not infrequently a young woman
finds It necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
vant cannot do it. Hence these direc
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and roiled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
A fool is as happy in his folly as
a wise man in his wisdom.

Old-Fashioned •• Night Watchmen ” Stt'l Patrol Beats, Carrying a
Long Lance and a Vvaistle. m
•m.w'rrrrrrrrw-rw'
Villages in all parts of Germany
still maintain "night watchmen," who
act as guardians of the community,
and carry when on duty a long lance,
something of the nature of a halberd,
in their hand, as they perambulate
their beats during the long dark hours
of the night. They also have a whis
tle with them, with which they pro
claim to the non-sleeping inhabitants
and to prowling men and beasts what
o’clock it is. It is only a very few
years ago that the large cities dropped
their “night watchmen,” but many of
the smaller towns in the provinces
still employ their services. At a
town in Posen, near the Silesian
frontier, one of these old worthies had
ceased to blow his whistle when the
clock Bounded the hour. The burger
meister could not comprehend the
negligence, and the delinquent was
Bummoned to his presence to account
for it. At first he was at a loss what
excuse to make, but on being pressed
he declared that a few days before
his last remaining tooth had dropped
out, and that consequently he could
produce no sound from his beloved
whistle.
The burgermeister could think of
no remedy, nor could he punish the
t-r r rrrrrw-rrwr**
watchman. A council was called to
deliberate, and the subject for dis
cussion was laid before the meeting.
At first profound silence reigned.
Finally one of the members of the
council rose and said he had heard of
the possibility of replacing human
teeth by artificial ones; adding, that
to the best of his belief there was a
man in Breslau who undertook to do
this. He said he could not vouch for
the truth of what he had heard, but
he really had been told that this was
the case! A long discussion ensued,
with the result that the watchman
was told to go to Breslau to gft a new
set of teeth. In due course the old
man returned to the scene of his du
ties provided with the needful. The
following night the burgermeister sat
up to hear the result. To his astonish
ment there was no sound of the whis
tle at 10 o'clock, nor at 11, nor even
at midnight! The next morning he
summoned the W'atehman. to whom he
expressed his indignation. “You have
got your teeth now," he said; “why
do you not whistle as before?” In a
voice of humility the old chap replied:
“Yes! I have got a new set of teeth,
but the doctor told me 1 was to put
them in water overnight."

^ Unworthiness. f
She stood at the top of the broad
Rtairway, looking down over the heads
of the dancers, until her eyes found
him, and then sparkled with pride
and joy.
"My ideal!” she murmured. ‘My
ideal!”
The band was playing the new
waltz, the lights were blazing through
out the house, color and brightness
were everywhere.and the heart of one
woman was light with joy.
in a little group in the corner of the
ballroom stood a man. He was tall
and handsome. His features were se
rious and severe. The rest of the
little group laughed r.nd joked. He
seemed cut off from them in his deep
abstraction, and the woman coming
down the stairs, with her cloak on her
arm. saw him and felt happy, for she
held in her consciousness the memory
of his caress and his words of tender
love a few moments before.
Her father stood waiting to con
duct her to the carriage. The serious
man lookekd in her direction, and
smiled a rather calm goodby, which
the joy in her heart interpreted into
meaning more.
All night long she tossed in her bed.
All night long she dwelt on the bliss
of those moments In the conservatory,
till the gray dawn lulled her to sleep,
and she fell into a gentle slumber,
softly whispering to her pillow, "My
ideal!”
It was "ladies' day” at the club, and
the next day the woman dressed her
self with fastidious care, for she knew
he would see her. The halls and
lunch-rooms were filled with guests,
the heat was stifling, and she left her
chaperon and found herself wandering
alone through a little narrow corri
dor.
He was in her mind, and she won
dered why she had not seen him yet.
She paused before a door, which was
open. A group of men were around a
table, with a generous supply of bot
tles and glasses decorating its surface.
She listened spellbound. She heard
the coarse Jests that came from the
lips of the man she loved. She saw
his stupor. She saw his bloodshot
eyes and his neglected raiment. With
her heart frozen almost stiff within
her, she heard him joke about his
“love affairs.” She hated the other
men for laughing at them, and slowly
walking back to join the crowd she
murmured in bitterness, “My ideal!
My ideal!’—New York Press.

& _ 'i
5 Military Borrowings of Great Britain Are Much Larger Now Than ^
6 They Were in 1812. $
• >♦<> >}» «*» «!< <!» »{' jk .*!*. >I£«
So far as government borrowings
are an indication, says the New York
Evening Post, Ihe annual cost of the
Boer war to Great Britain has been
nearly double that of the wars against
Napoleon. 100 years ago. In the
period 1792-1802, when England was
fighting incessantly in almost every
corner of the globe, and w’as in addi
tion subsidizing half a dozen continen
tal states, the principal of the British
debt increased £297,989,587—an aver
age annual increase of £29,789,000,
Between 1802 and 1815, a period which
covered the Spanish campaign, the
American war and Waterloo, the debt
increased £323.386,041—an annual av
erage of £24,875,000.
Loans raised by the exchequer dur
ing the two years following the Boer
war outbreak in October, 1899, foot up
£114,000,000 They include the £30,
000,000 war loan of 1900, and two is
sues of £13,000.000 exchequer bonds in
the same year; £60,000,000 consols in
1901, and £11,000,000 exchequer bonds.
The above list does not include the
temporary treasury bills issued in 1899
and 1900, or the £14,413.000 of the
same bills issued after the consols
loan of 1901, and still outstanding.
MS >JS MS MS MS MS MS .'IS MS MS MS MS '
Neither does the above list include
loans issued by the exchequer for
other than war purposes
It will appear, therefore, that, dis
regarding the amount raised by in
creased taxation in this war or in the
Napoleonic contest, the Boer war has
cost the British government an aver
age of £57,000.000 per annum in loans,
against an average annual cost of
£24,800,000 to £29,900,000 per annum
in the Napoleonic contest.
The much greater cost of supplies,
ammunition, transportation and equip
ment. as compared with 1802, and
the fact that there have been and are
still more British soldiers under arms
in South Africa than were commanded
by Wellington in 1815, sufficiently ac
count for the heavier outlay. It must,
however, be remembered that the Brit
ish war loans of the Napoleonic period
were issued at very heavy discounts,
being put odt at prices as low as 00,
and with interest as high as 6 per cent,
whereas the lowest price of the recent
loans has been 941^ for a 2% per cent
loan.

The newly elected labor mayor of
Hartford. Ignatius Sullivan, sat at the
banquet table of the Business Men’s
Association of that city a few nights
ago, says the New York Times. Sim
eon Ford was one of the speakers. He
glanced pitifully at the new official,
and said:
‘ What a nerve Mayor Sullivan dis
plays! Now that he is elected, he im
agines all his labors are over. Why,
they have hardly begun. He has work
and worry before him for the next
two years tnat will wear him to skin
and hones. He doesn’t know what he
is up against. I have met but one
man who showed more real grit. Right
after the explosion at my hotel, when
the place was a wreck, I went into
the restaurant. It was strewn with
broken glass and debris. People were
running about with bloody faces and
torn clothes. In the corner sat a soli
tary guest eating his luncheon. I
think he was a Hartford man. Every
one else was panic-stricken. 1 con
gratulated him upon bii coolness. He
said: ‘I am a man who has faced dan
ger in every form. Death has for me
no terrors. I was eating corned beef
hash when the explosion occurred.’
“He is the only man I ever met
whose nerve was stronger than Mayor
