As the trustees of Delaware College
are about to locate some land for expert
mental purposes and noticing the many
lives that are lost by drowning through
the want Of the art ofswimming, il seems
to me that to apply small portion of
the Sl5.OO0 grant in providing swimming
baths where the children of both sexes
could have the opportunity to learn to
swim, thus not only providing them with
healthful recreation but be the means
of saving their lives in case of accident
in the W tier A place for this purpose
tan easily be procured where swimming
baths can he made at small outlay of
capital on piece of land belonging to
Mrs. Peters of Cliristiana, not more than
10 minutes walk from Mr.. ii. b. Wrights
store. Adjoining this land, four acres Of
water four feet deep can be made at IL
cost Of 1925 per acre, where fish culture
could be carried on at protitably. Citi
liens who have children would bestow a
life long blessing on them by using their
influence 10 procure these swimming
baths. Swimming is healthful and
pleasant recreation as well as a life pre-

John Harvey, attempted to capture
rattlesnake in Arkanas, across the

day. The reptile coiled itself around
Moore's arm. He became frightened

fastened its fangs in his flesh. The
lad tore the snake loose and flung it
to the ground. Moore fell in a
swoon, and died before help arrived.
The snake, when killed, measured 4
feet 8 inches, and had rattles.

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any ill
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
BIO old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. d. W. Baine, New
Berne, N. c., writes:
81 suffered a long time with stomach
and liver troubles. tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until ]
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"

lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.
