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.

The
General Demand
of the Weil-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physiciaas could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to th sjsteui and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent oombination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, th California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relie
on the merits of the laxative for its remark-
That is on of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
th ptefeieuco by th WeQ-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
th genuine manufactured by th Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for sal
by aB leading druggists. Price fifty cents

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.

down at our church the other night.
The pastor gav out th words. Did

Browne No; was It interesting?
Towne Rather. The first thre

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.

In a little church in -afaryland. not

The situation was not greatly re
lieved when there came floating out
into the auditorium a hoarse whisper:
