Laundry work at home would ba much more satisfactory If the right Starch were used. In order to get th desired stiffness, it 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 tLe appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality ot the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because ot its great er strength than other makes. Only Long Sleeves Now.

Table Linen of To-Day an Improve ment Over that of a Few Year Ago Th Latest In Lunch Cloths. " Comparing the table linen ot to-day with that of ten or 13 years ago, there in a marked improvement in design. For years we have had very Sne linens in our shops, and there have been many beautiful designs, but not with in the reach ot the moderate purse. So much progress has been made by man ufacturers that now prices are lower and designs are better. Of course there are certain pattern cloths ot for eign make that can never be cheap. It la the linens ot medium quality, weight and price, but of fine design, that will appeal to the average housekeeper. Some think that the linen made in Ire land has taken the place of that manu factured in other countries. It is good, cheap and often very handsome, and will last for many years, provided, of course, it is not ruined by chemicals in laundering. Designs in all household linens are steadily gaining in artistic merit. The old-time cloth that swept the floor is no longer in fashion. The best style table linen for luncheon is a center-piece and indi vidual doilies to match. There are. however, beautiful covers, made pecially tor luncheons, but a regular dinner doth, no matter how simple or magnificent, should never be used. The center-piece is only large enough to cover the middle ot the table, and the doilies com In different sixes. There are those for plates, two sizes tor gob lets, those for water and wine, others for different dishea, and still others for the finger bowls. Linen sets with scal loped edges are very durable and prac tical. Filet lace is handsome, but ex pensive. The lace is Joined with fine linen squares, in long bands or circu lar. The doilies are entirely ot lace. Renaissance is still used for the table. Japanese and Chinese lunch cloths are liked by many, but the plain white embroidery is more desirable than that Into which blue is Introduced. These cloths are 'round, and their beautiful patterns ot chrysanthemums, aster or iris nearly cover the body ot the cloths and reach to the edges. Some of the cuter-pieces show artistic introduc tion of colors. Even the best colored embroideries will fade in time, and their use demands a judicious selec tion which will harmonize with the table china. Round center-pieces are popular at present, owing to the general use of round tables, and charming patterns are shown with borders of Maltese, Cluny and Bohemian lace. Then there is shown the beautiful lace from the Azores, known as FayaL No more love ly handiwork can be seen than this lace, whose designs are executed by darning in the pattern after the threads have been drawn. Some beautiful towels with borders ot Fayat lace were recently seen. The purchaser only paid 11-50 apiece for the towels at FayaL A well-known authority says that table linen should never be starched. It is a common mistake that many housekeepers make, and nothing so de tracts from the appearance and life ot handsome linen as starch. "Elbow grease" is all that on needs to make th proper kind of linen stiff. It should be ironed damp, to get the fine sheen so characteristic ot well-laundered linen. It it is ironed when it Is dry. or nearly so, it gets fuzzy. Always darn table damask, as well as various other materials, with a ravelins from the doth. If there is a bole, put under it a piece ot the same damask, matching the pattern as near as possible. Then darn very carefully backward and forward with the ravel ing. If the work is don right, the darn will hardly be noticed after laun dering. Try Larding Lean and Dry Meat, Larding Is quite easr it only i quire care and accuracy. It simply needs a lardlng-needle and some neatly and eeniy-cut strips ot tat. bacon or pork, which are used exactly as It they were pieces ot wool or thread, one large stitch being taken through the meat and the short ends of the fat left sticking out. The strips are called lardons. The fat bacon or pork to he used in the process should be kept in a cold place. Use that part of the pork which lies between the rind and the vein. Lean and dry meat and some kinds of game are much im proved by larding. The Delineator. A Good Family Soup. Take two pounds of boiled turnips. cut into little squares, put into a stew- witn two ounces of butter; stir a quick fire; add a large table- spoonful of flour, two quarts of stock. Simmer gently one hour and a half, strain through a sieve and put back into the saucepan; season, stir, boil and serve. Water may be used instead of stock, only a less quantity is required and a little more flour and butter, also halt a pint of rich milk or cream just be fore serving. Simple Cheese Fondu. One cup of soft white bread crumbs, one cup of grated cheese, two eggs. beaten together, a cup ot milk, a u blespoonful of butter, a pinch of salt. a pinch of cayenne, a pinch ot soda. Melt the butter, add the milk, a bread crumbs and last the oheese. Sea son and cook five minutes, or until smooth; then put in the eggs, stir three minutes and serve on buttered toaat. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, Is proven by the extraordinary sal ot Defiance Starch, each package con taining one-third more Starch than can bo had ot any other brand tor th same money. Suggestive. Towee There was a spelling-be down at our church the other night. The pastor gav out th words. Did you hear about It? Browne No; was It interesting? Towne Rather. The first thre words he gave out were "Increase, "pastor." "salary." Stray Stories. The extraordinary popularity ot fin white goods this summer makes th choice ot Starch a matter of great Im portance. Defiance Starch, being tree from all injurious chemicals, is th only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen er makes halt the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result ot perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. De Organ's Busted. In a little church in -afaryland. not far from Washington, the motive pow er for the organ comes from the strong arm of an industrious Irishman. During a recent service there the choir got into trouble and. to cap the climax, during the confusion that en sued, the organ suddenly stopped. The situation was not greatly re lieved when there came floating out into the auditorium a hoarse whisper: "Sing, all youse! Sing like the divil! De organ's busted. Illustrated Sunday Magazine.

During this time res appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema. Then I began to use Cnticura Soap, Ointment, and PUla, Injecting a quantity of Cnticura Ointment with a Cnticura Suppository Syringe. It took a month ot this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week.
