If a man can’t be bought you cap
usually land him with flattery.
Insist on Getting It.
Some grocers say they don't keep
Defiance Starch. This is because they
bave a stock on hand of other brands
containing only 12 oz In a package,
which they won't be able to sell first,
because Defiance contains 16 oz. for
the same money.
Do you want 16 oz. Instead of 12 oz.
for same money? Then buy Defiance
Btarch. Requires no cooking.

Avoid the Cheap end "i«lg Can” Bak-
ing Powder*.
The cheap beking powders have but one
recommendation : they certainly give the pur-
chaser plenty of powder for his money. Hies*
powders are so carelessly made from inferior
materials that they will not make light, whole-
some food. Further, these cheap baking
powders have a very small percentage of leaven
trig gas; therefore it takes from two to three
times as much of such powder to raise the cake
or biseuit aa it doea of Calumet Baking Powder.
Therefore, In the long run.the actual cost to the
conanmer of such powders la more than Calu-
met would he. Cheap baking powders leave
the bread sometimes bleached and acid, some-
times yellow und alkaline, anil always unpala-
table. They are never of uniform strength
**Why not^buy a perfectly wholesome baking
powder like Calumet, that is at the same Time
moderate in price and one which can be relied
upon? Calumet ia always the same, keeps in-
definitely and gives the cook the least trouble.
BETRAYED BY HER FEET.
Disobedient Patient Was Not Shrewd
Enough to Deceive Doctor.
The patient was feeling so much
better that she Insisted on rising with
the family and dressing. After break-
fast her daughter declared that she
must undress and get into oed, as the
doctor had ordered that she stay in
bed three or four days.
■'There! I see the doctor’s carriage
coming now, mother,” she exclaimed.
•'Undress as quickly as you can and
I’ll keep the doctor talking until you
are ready.”
The mother hurried Into the bed-
room and the daughter went to the
door. For a few minutes the daugh-
ter exerted herself to entertain the
physician and then her mother called
out: "I’m ready now to see Dr.
Blank.”
The doctor gravely took the wo-
man's pulse, listened to her breath-
ings and did various other wise things,
and then Bald: .
“I should like to examine your feet,
Mrs. A., to see if they are swollen.”
The patient gasped.
'Oh, I don’t think It’s necessary,”
she said.
"But I assure you It la," said the
physician gravely.
Then the patient begui to giggle.
“Good Gracious, Doctor!” she said.
"1 have my shoes and stockings on.”
And then she explained that Bhe
had only gone to bed when she saw
him coming and had not stopped to
take off her shoes and stockings.
Washington, Nov. 1.—In a circular
note Secretary Hay has carried out the
president’s Instructions relative to pro-
posing a second Hague conference.
The note not only contemplates the re-
assembling of The Hague conference
for the considerations of questions
specifically mentioned by the original
conference, as demanding further at-
tention, such as the rights and du-
ties of neutrals, the Inviolability of
private property In naval warfare and
the bombardment of ports by naval
force, but goes further by practically
indorsing the project of a eneral sys-
tem of arbitration treaties and the es-
tablishment of an international con-
gress to meet periodically in the in-
terests of peace. The Issue of the call
while the present war is in progress.
Is justified by the fact that the first
Hague conference was called before
our treaty of peace with Spain was
concluded. The text of the note fol-
lows:
"Department of State.
"Washington, D. C., Oct. 24, 1904.
"To the Representatives of thn Unit-
ed States Accredited to the Gov-
ernments’ Signatories to the Acts
of The Hague Conference 1S99.
"Sir:—The peace conference which
assembled at The Hague on May 18,
1899, marked an epoch in the history
of nations. Called by his majesty, the
Emperor of Russia, to discuss the pro-
blems of the matntenace of general
peace, the regulation of the operations
of war, and the lessening of the bur-
dens which preparedness for eventual
war entails upon modern peoples, Its
labors resulted in the acceptance by
the signatory powers of convention
for the peaceful adjustment of Inter-
national difficulties by arbitration, and
for certain humane amendments to
the laws and customs of war by land
and sea. A great work was thus ac
complished by the conference, while
other phases of the general subject
were left to discussion by another con-
ference In the near future, such as
questions affecting the rights and du-
ties of neutrals, the inviolability of
private property in naval warfare ami
the bombardment of ports, towns and
villages by a naval force.”
STOPPED CRUELTY OF INDIAN.
Incident of the Ranching Days el the
President.
Prof. Brander Matthews tells hie
English literature class the following
incident of President Roosevelt s ca-
reer as ranchman which was told to
him by the president himself:
An ladlaa en a tired pony loped
past the Reeeevelt ranch ene day. The
pony gave ant completely as it Beared
the petat where the future president
was watching the proceedings. The
Indian leaped to the ground, kicked
the peny ta a standing position, tore
eff the saddle, and, picking up a hand-
ful af gravel prepared te rub It Into
the fatigued beast's tender back pre-
paratory to strapping the saddle on
over the lumps of stone. This Is a
common Indian trick for reviving tired
horses, but In the preseint Instance It
failed. The amazed Indian was sud-
denly seized by the future president
and ordered to remove the gravel and
to pasture the pony until the worn out
beast should be sufficiently rested to
go on.
The surprised savage dared not dis-
obey the stern order. Remembering
the Incident, nowadays poor Lo doubt-
less falls to connect the nervous, In-
dignant ranchman with “The White
Father at Washington.”—New York

A volume might be written to tell

given to the cat and dog, as when
they say "the mlew-mlew,” the "bow-

from the Hebrew, describes the spit-

the wrord cat, and “Hist!” or "Scat"

What the Baby Needed.
I suffered from nervousness and
headache until one day about a year
ago It suddenly occurred to me what a
groat coffee drinker I was and I
thought may be this might have some-
thing to do with my trouble, so l
shifted to tea for awhile but waa
not better, If anything worse.
“At that time 1 had a baby four
months old that we had to feed on a
bottle, until an old lady friend told
me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three
months ago 1 commenced using Pos-
tum. leaving off the tea and coffee,
and not only have my headaches and
nervous troubles entirely disappeared,
hut since then 1 have been giving
plenty of nurso for my baby, and bave
a large, healthy child now.
"I have no desire to drink anything
but Postum and know It has benefited
my children, and I hope all who have
children will try Postum and find out
lor themselves what a really wonder-
ful food drink It Is." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

Biography of Andree.
The life of Andree, the lost explor-
er, Is to be issued by the Geographi-
cal Society of Stockholm, of which
he was a member.
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 Vpound 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-oa. package It la because he has
a stock on hand which be wishes to
dispose of before he puts In Defiance.
He know* that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package In large let-
ters and figures “16 oil.” Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the Iron
■ticking. Defiance never (ticks.
Telephone Girls of Europe
A London correspondent who has a
London-Paris-MIlan wire In his room
writes that In his opinion the tele-
phone girl is not quite an angel. He
finds the London telephone girls slow
and indifferent, the French Intractable
and impertinent. When the Whittaker
Wright trial was proceeding he found
himself late with some news and
rushed to the telephone. Absolute
silence followed his frantic ringing,
until he almost pulled the telephone
from the wall, After twenty minutes
or so a sweet voice said: “Number,
please?” “But,” he protested, "I have
been ringing for half an hour!" "Oh
really! I am so sorry, I was drinking
my tea!”
In Paris the girls are absent minded
and usually make the connections
badly, but have Invariably an excuse
and will not hear remonstrances.
The Italian telephone girl by the
side of her London and Paris sisters
shines Indeed. She Is obliged to re-
peat the number wanted and so sel-
dom makes a wrong connection, she
is prompt, and not exceptionally pert,
but she is lazy and will often tell you
that the person you want does not re-
| ply when she has made no effort to
ring him up.
