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 package contains 16 oz.--one full pound--while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries tp 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 letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoy­ ance of the iron slicking...... never sticks. -O • -- - . . lift1"1' Not Settled. ^ ^ "My!" exclaimed the sociable old lady on the street.

To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the mar­ ket and who is reasonably satis­ fied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone be­ cause it is guaranteed by the manufac­ turers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 10c package contains 16 ozs., v^hile all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who-once uses De­ fiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. Work Cut Out for Pa.

Sood Qualities of Ben Davis Apples. The Ben Davis apple requires a long season to reach its proper develop­ ment; that kind of a season it finds In Kentucky, /where it originated. It Is not probable that the Ben Davis apple as grown in Wisconsin will ever be very popular, although it will be a long keeper. Another thing in favor af the Ben Davis has been the fact that the trees have been wonderfully productive of fruit. It is a wonder in the apple world because It produces a crop every year. Most varieties of apples produce a good crop every oth­ er year, but the Ben Davis produces a crop every year. That is why the great commercial growers have been planting out orchards when they had to sell the fruit very much under the price offered for some other varieties. One man said: "I can make money by selling the Ben Davis at $2 a bar­ rel. The Ben Davis is my money maker, even at a low price these yield rile a larger profit than any other var­ iety I can grow." We have, added to this, the fact that the Ben Davis tree is not subject very largely to the at­ tacks of fungous diseases. Another great thing in favor of the Ben Davis apple is one remarkable characteristic relative to bruises. When a Ben Davis apple is bruised It forms a hard, dry, sponge-like crust and this does not develop into rot Most other ap­ ples when they are bruised begin im­ mediately to rot at the bruised places. The bruised Ben Davis apple merely dries up at the point whe^ it is bruis­ ed, and no rot sets in. The way that the Ben Davis apple deteriorates in the latter part of the winter is by becoming hard and of a dry sponge-like texture near the core. We believe that the Ben Davis apple Is destined to be more extensively grown even than at the present, and from the Ben Davis apple many new varie­ ties are to be developed, which will come to be known as the Ben Davis group of apples. We have the begin­ ning of this in two apples already quite prominent, the B'ack Ben Davis and the Gano. The Gano has been devel­ oped by selection from the Ben Davis wood of a certain quality. There is a dispute as to whether the Black Ben Davis was developed by selecting Ben Davis wood of a certain quality or by planting the seeds from the Ben Davis apple. But the two are so similar that no one can doubt that Black Ben Davis belongs at least to the Ben Davis family.--Farmers' Review. Cut ouVthe aSSve ilfifee toUpons in one piece. Do not separata. ' MULL'S GRAPE TONIC CO., Makers, Nq. 148 Third Ave., Rock Island. JJi, The Black Knot. Look over the trees for black knot. The protuberances will be easily de­ tected this fall when the leaves have fallen. The knots are produced by fungous growths and they will destroy the plum trees if they are not attend­ ed to in time. Many people can re­ member the first coming of the black knot, which was an Immigrant from Europe. Our people did not under­ stand the nature of the trouble and permitted the disease to spread till it took whole orchards. If but a few knots have appeared'on a tree cut them out and burn them. If a great many knots have appeared on a tree cut out the entire tree, pull Ing up as many roots as possible. Use the larger portions for fire wood and burn the branches. The black knot affects cherry trees and will spread to them from the plum orchard. Probably all readers oi the Farm 9rs' Review know what black knot of plums and cherries is. If there are any that do not, it will be easy for them to recognize it from the fact that its presence is made known by black excrescences on the limbs, the blackness appearing only after the kuots have hardened. Some of them •re as large as walnuts. The knots first appear as swollen places on the twigs. As the swelling increases the bark cracks open longi­ tudinally. Within .these cracks the fungus produces spores and these are blown about by the wind. They lodge on bark and where it is tender suc­ ceed in Fending their rooting fila­ ments and grow into masses. At first ihe knobs are olive green and only become black when they get old. Give ine orchards of plum and cherry trees a thorough going over this winter, and If near wild plum or wild cherry trees inspect them too. It may be the dis­ ease is obtaining a foothold among tfcwn.

There was one electric light,"which did not make the apartment lustrous. We had some papers to look over and I instinctively moved over near the win­ dow. " 'I can do better than that,' he said, going to his satchel and taking out an electric bulb. *1 carry this around with me for just such occasions,* he laughed. 'That one does well enough for transient guests who are not In their rooms except to sleep, but some­ times I need more than sixteen candle power and I carry a thirty-two.' "He unscrewed the sixteener and in a Jiffy had on his thirty-two. The cur­ rent was there, all right, and we had no more trouble about too little light. Later he showed me a large gas tip which he carried along for hotels that used gas instead of electric light. This needed a pair of pliers In addition, but he had them in his small box, and he told me it was a mighty poor qual­ ity of gas and a powerful low pressure that wouldn't respond with the goods when he put on his accommodation tip. There is nothing grafty about that little scheme, possibly, but just the same he is getting something the landlord is paying for."--New. York Press. AN AWFUL 8KIN HUMOR.

I Jt; Locality and F.rult Growing. The longer I am in touch with hor­ ticulture the more I am convinced lhat locality haa very much to do with the success of certain varieties of fruit trees. Even when the locations are separated by only a hundred miles or so, the difference is noticeable. 1 believe that we too often condemn va­ rieties because they have proved un­ successful in certain localities, when the same varieties would do well in pome other locality. The soil has so much to do with success or failure, but even when the 6oils seem to be of the same texture there is a difference in experiences. At a gocd many conventions that 1 have attended the question of varie­ ties has been brought up for discus­ sion. It is surprising to find what differences of experiences can be re­ lated regarding the same fruit. There are some varieties, however, that are of no use anywhere and should not be planted. I think this is true of mauy of the new varieties. A new variety gets the support of some of our hor­ ticulturists, who really believe at first that it Is going to be a good fruit Horticulturists are very sanguine peo­ ple anyway, and always look on the bright side. It is therefore natural for them to expect more of a fruit than Is in it. The nurserymen take up the growing of the variety and begin to put it on the market. Then it is found that it is not so good for many locali­ ties as it was for a few. Bent the nur­ serymen naturally do not like to let go of the enterprise till thly have dis­ posed of the supply of that variety they have on hand. Because a variety proves usable in one locality of a state is no sign that it will prove usable in all localities of all states in the same latitude?-- Helen Jones, Calhoun Co., 111.

For many years she taught school, and during her career as a teacher she be­ came known as a woman of an alert and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, she was possessed with a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Plnkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daugh­ ter. In those good old-fashioned days few drugs were used In medicines; people relied upon nature's remedies, roots and herbs, which are to-day recognized as more potent and efficacious in con­ trolling diseases than any combination of drugs. Mrs. Plnkham from her youth took a deep interest in medicine, in botany-- the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics, and power over dis­ ease; she believed that as nature so bountifully provides food for the body so she also provides medicine for the ills and weaknesses of the body, In the roots and herbs of the field, and as a wife, mother and sympathetic friend, she often made use of her knowledge of roots and herbs in pre­ paring medicines for her family and friends. Knowing of so much suffering among her sex, after much study and re­ search, Mrs. Plnkham believed that the diseases of women have a com­ mon cause, and she set to work to find a common remedy--not at that time as a source of profit, but simply that Bhe might aid the suffering. How her efforts have been rewarded the women of the world know to-day. In 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity was too much for the large real estate Inter­ ests of the Plnkham family, as this class of business suffered most from this fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. At this point the history of Lydfa B. Pinkham"B Vegetable Compound com­ mences : Tbe three sons and daughter, with their mother, combined forces to re­ store the family fortune. They re­ solved to give to the world the vege­ table compound that Mrs. Plnkham had so often ImMP % herbs for such of her women neigh­ bors and friends who were sick and ailing. Its success in those cases had %§§ been wonderful--its fame had spread, and calls were coming from miles "v around for this efficacious vegetable compound. They had no money, and littte credit. Their first laboratory was the , kitchen, where roots and h?rbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the % ^ question of selling it, for always be­ fore they had given it away free. • - They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the mer- - its of the medicine, now called Lydia -j E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, 'j and these pamphlets were distributed by the Pinkham sons In Boston, New 1§J York and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent* self-advertlsing, for whoever used It recommended it to others, and the d*> | mand gradually Increased. In 1877, by combined efforts, tho family had saved enough money to * commence newspaper advertising on a small scale, and from that time ths growth and success of the enterprise was assured, until to-day Lydia IS. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words every­ where, and thousands of pounds of roots and herbs are used annually-In making this great remedy for woman's ills. Although Lydia E. Pinkham passed to her reward some years agov the per­ petuation of her great work was guarded by her foresight During her long and eventful experi­ ence she was ever methodical in her work and was careful to preserve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman Who applied to her for advice --and there were thousands--received careful study, and the details, includ­ ing symptoms, treatment and results* were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and repre­ sent a vast collaboration of informa­ tion regarding the treatment of wom­ an's ills which, for authenticity and accuracy, can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. Another act of foresight on the part of Lydia E. Plnkham was to see that some one of her family was trained to carry on her work, and with that end in view, for years before her death, had as her chief assistant her daugh­ ter-in-law, the present Mrs. Plnkham. Therefore, under the guidance and careful training of Lydia E. Plnkham* and a vast experience of her own, covering twenty-five years, the present Mrs. Pinkham is exceptionally well equipped to advise sick women, which she is always glad to do free of charge. » The record of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made of simple herbs and roots, is a proud and peer­ less one. It is a record of constant conquest over the obstinate ills at women, greater than that of any other one medicine of its kind in the world, and will ever stand as a monument to that noble woman whoso name its bears.
