Its use means much more and much better cream and butter, as well as saving of water, ice, time and room. The difference in results is not small but big. Few cows now pay without a separator. Dairying is the most profit able kind of farming with one. 98% of the creamery butter of the world is now made with De Laval machines, and there are over 600,000 farm users besides.

Address GEORGE MORTON. G. P. * T. A.. Bn Mil • • ST. LOUIS. MO. Never Satisfied—A Fable. One day a ragged beggar was creep ing along the street. He cai^ried in his hand an old wallet and he asked every passerby for a few cents. As he was grumbling at his lot he kept wonder ing why it was that people who had so much were never satisfied, but were always wanting more. “If I only had enough to eat and wear I should be satisfied,” said the beggar. Just at that moment Fortune came down the street. She saw the beggar and stopped. She said to him: “Listen! I have long wished to help you. Hold your wallet and I will pour this gold into it. But I will pour only on this condition. All that falls into the wallet shall be pure gold, but all that falls upon the ground shall be come dust. Do you understand?” “Oh. yes, I understand,” said the beggar. “Then have a care,” said Fortune. “Your wallet is old.” He opened his wallet quickly and the yellow metal was soon pouring in. “Is that enough?” “Not yet,” said the beggar. “Isn’t it cracking?” asked Fortune “Never fear; just a little more,” said the beggar. “Add just another handful.” Another handful was added and the wallet burst from end to end. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each 7-ackage contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand De fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick ing. Defiance never sticks. We pity the man who is unappre ciated to the extent that his wife does not believe his smoking on the porch will drive away mostquitoes, and that he really smokes to keep the mos quitoes away from her fair skin. To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the maiket, and who is reasonably satisfied with thf old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guar anteed by the manufacturers to be su perior to any other brand, but because each 10c package contains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Sarch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. Many hands want light work. When Your Grocer Says he does not have De^.ance Starch, you may be sure he Is afraid to keep it until his stock of 12 oz. packages are sold. Defiance Starch is not only bet ter than any other Cold Water Starch, but contains 16 oz. to the package and sells for same money as 12 oz. brands.

When a baby is born in Guinea all sorts of funny things happen to it. Its mother buries it in the sand up to its waist, so it cannot get into bad mis chief, and this is the only cradle it knows anything about. The little Lapp infant is cradled in a shoe—his mother’s. This is a big affair covered with skin and stuffed with soft moss. This can be hung or a tree or covered up with snow while mamma goes to church or any place where babies are not invited. The baby of India rides in a basket which hangs from its mother's heart or from her hip, or in a hammock. In some parts the baby’s nose is adorned with a nose ring, and in others its face is -wrapped in a veil like its mother. The Chinese baby is tied to the bacn of an older child. The Mongolian infants travel abou' in bags slung on a camel’s back. In some countries the mothers lay their babies where a stream of water falls on their heads. This is to make them tough, which it does unless the babies die as a result of this treat ment. Another mother covers her baby's head with paste, while the Tar tar baby is covered with butter. The Turkish baby is salted—perhaps to keep it sweet—while the worst fate of all falls to the lot of the newly born children in Bulgaria. Their mothers put a hot omelette on the .little ones’ heads to make them solid and protect them from sunstroke. The Bulgarian baby doesn’t like it any better than you would. He makes a great howl about it, but it is not a bit of use. His mother thinks she knows better about some things than he does, so he has to submit, which he does with a very bad grace indeed. GOING FAR FOR PURE WATER Los Angeles Proposes to Go 240 Miles Away for Supply. A notable water works project is proposed by Los Angeles, Cal., for a better supply of water. Never before, so far as we know, has an American city proposed to go so far afield (240 miles) for water, and with the excep tion of the pipe line for the supply of the Coolgardie gold fields of western Australia do we not know of so long a water supply conduit anywhere in the world. The Coolgardie pipe line is only thirty inches in diameter, but it is about 330 miles in length. Instead of being a gravity line water is pumped through it to an elevation of 1,313 feet. This lift is distributed be tween nine pumping stations, and the nominal daily capacity of the conduit and pumps is 6,000,000 gallons. The causes for going so far for water in western Australia and in California are in some respects similar, but diffei materially in that at Los Angeles there is a highly developed and prosperous community instead of a series of gold mining camps. For years Los An geles has obtained close at hand wa ter enough to supply its most pressing nte^s at least, but its future and that of both town and country around it depend upon a large increase in the water supply. The near-by sources are not sufficient for the prospective wants of the city and its suburbs, and are more than needed for irrigation. If the future of the city will warrant so large an outlay, and that future certainly looks bright, then Los An geles is to be congratulated on, having at least solved a water problem which has been more perplexing and serious than outsiders have suspected and than most of its own citizens even yet fully realize.

Folwell in The Sunday Mag azine. King of the Penguins. The “emperor” penguin, one of the discoveries of Capt. Scott’s recent antarctic expedition, was the subject of an interesting illustrated lecture by Dr. Wilson before the recent orni thological congress in London. The bird stands about four feet high, weighs eighty pounds or more, and with its black coat and erect posture has, when seen at a distance, a truly startling resemblance to a dwarf man. These “emperors” of the pen guin world live upon the great girdle of pack ice which surrounds the ant arctic continent, and seem to depend daily for their food on crustaceans caught in the crevices of the ice. The female lays a solitary egg, which is caught on the great web feet, so that it never touches the ice, and is held there covered with the mother’s body until hatching occurs. Meat Is Unpopular. "I never knew meat to be so unpop ular as it has been this summer,” said a prosperous butcher. “Of course I al wajs expect the meat sales to fall off in the warm weather, but this year I have sold only one-half as much as I did last summer. One customer—a landlady, who has twenty-five board ers—tells me that she can hardly get her boarders to touch the meat dishes, and she is rejoicing. Even ham, the old standby, which is generally in good demand even in the most scorching weather, is frowned upon, and the beef trust would soon go to pieces if its produce were no more popular the year round than it has been this sum ; msr. GOOD BLOOD FOR BAD Rheumatism end Other Blood Dis eases are Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. “In the lead mines I was at work on my knees with my elbows pressed against rock walls, in daaipuess aud extremes of cold,” said Mr. J. G. Meukel, of 2975 Jacksou avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in de> scribing his experience to a reporter, “ and it is not surprising that I con tracted rheumatism. For three years I had attacks affecting the joints of my ankles, knees aud elbows. My aukles aud knees became so swollen I could scarcely walk ou uneven ground aud a little pressure from a stone under my feet would cause me so much paiu that I would nearly siuk down. I was often obliged to lie in bed for several days at a time. My friends who were similariy troubled were getting no relief from doctors and I did not feel encouraged to throw mouev away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of Dubuqne, who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the remedy he had used. In three or four weeks after beginning to use the pills, I was much better and in three mouths I was well. The swelling of the joints aud the tenderness disap}>eai'ed, I could work steadily and for eight years I have had no return of the trouble. My whole family believe in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Both my sons use them. We oousider them a household remedy that we are sure about.” What Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills did for Mr. Meukel they are doiug for hundreds of others. Every dose sends galloping through the veins, pure, strong, rich, red blood that strikes straight at the cause of all ill health. The new blood restores regularity, and braces all the organs for their special tasks.

Mother hurried to the window to see Johnny chasing the cat with stones. “Why, Johnny, what are you doing? What is the matter with kitty?” she called. “She's all dirty, mother. Somebody shut her up in the coal-hole.” “Is that all?” mother wanted to know. “Why, yes,” said Johnny. “She’s dirty and black and horrid. We don’t want her around.” Presently Johnny came in crying, and ran to his mother for help. He had fallen into a puddle and was drip ping with mud. “O. mother, mother!” he cried, sure of help from her. “Jane,” She said quietly to the nurse, who was sewing near by, “do you know where there are any good sized gravel stones?” “Stones, Ma’am?” asked Jane. “Yes,” said the mother, “to throw at Johnny. He’s been in a puddle and is dirty and black and horrid.” Johnny felt as if this was more than he could bear. “Please, mother, I’ll never do it again," he cried in humble tones. “Poor kitty! I see now how bad I made her feel.” Johnny was then washed and com forted. He did not soon forget the little lesson of kindness to those in misfortune. DISFIGURING HUMOR. Brushed Scales from Face Like Pow der—Doctor Said Lady Would Be Disfigured for Life—Cuticura Works Wonders. “I suffered with eczema all over my body. My face was covered; my eye brows came out. I had tried three doctors, but did not get any better. I then went to another doctor. He thought my face would be marked for life, but my brother-in-law told me to get Cuticura. I washed with Cuticura Soap, applied Cuticura Ointment, and took Cuticura Resolvent as directed. I could brush the scales off my face like powder. Now my face is just as clean as it ever was.—Mrs. Emma White, 641 Cherrier Place, Camden, N. J., April 25, ’05.” Most people are overstocked with good intentions. He Ought to Know. The late John W. Mackey was at tending to business at the great Corn stock mine one day when a party of tourists approached and asked if he knew of a guide who would take them around. Evidently none of them knew him. Mackey offered to escort them, and did so, explaining the mys tery of gold and silver quartz mining. When they had emerged the visitors thanked the guide. Among them was Andrew D. White, recently ambassa dor to Germany, and at that time president of Cornell university. “Here, my man. take this,” he said. “Youi explanation of the working of the mine has been singularly clear and in forming.” ' “Well, it ought to be,” replied the guide, as he slipped the half dollar in his overalls pocket, “I dug ’em and I own ’em.” She Was Used. “I hear you have a little sister at your house,” said a Chicago grocer to a small boy. “Yes. sir,” said Johnny. “Do you like that?” was queried. “I wish it was a boy,” said Johnny, “so II could play marbles with him, an’ baseball.” “Well,” said the storekeep er, “why don’t you exchange your lit tle sister for a boy?” Johnny reflected for a minute, then he said rather sor rowfully: “We can’t now. It’s too late. We’ve used her four days.” Crushed. “Why am I like a pin?” asked Mr. Jones, triumphantly, of his wife. He expected she was going to say, “Be cause you are to sharp,” and he was simply paralyzed when she replied: “Because if you should get lost it wouldn’t be worth while to spend time looking for you.” — Try me just once and I am sure to come again.
