LETTERS TO MONTPELIER PKoPLE.-DR.
CHANDLER, Dear Sir;-As professional
man, you are of course familiar with the
action of chemicals. You know that power
full drugs are bad You do not resort TO
them except in extreme cases. When a
patient is suffering pain, YOU try to subdue
1t with mild remedies. You know that the
more powerful the agent, the worse the
after-etfects will be.
We are trying to preach this doctrine TO
housekeepers. They are buying strong
soaps that rot clothes. Because they are
cheap in price they believe they are saving
money. You are familiar, of course, with
the ingredients used in soap-making You
know that lye Is the agent which removes
dirt. and you know the more lye there s
used the quicker the dirt comes out Of the
clothes. But you also appreciate the after
effect OF lye. 1t is a caustic, and too much
Of it destroys clothes. Women. however,
seem to overlook this fact.
We make harmless soap mild--put just
enough lye in it to take out the dirt. We
use plenty Of tallow to give it a lasting body
little borax and amonia. This makes our
soap cost s cents pound. Strong lye soaps
cost a little less, but they wash away faster
and rot clothes besides, and women buy
them through mistaken ideas Of economy.
Very truly yours,
q. H. PosT Il Co..

DEPUTIES IN DANCER,

Office.
Marshal Lloyd May Be Left Without
Any D puties to Help
Him

BERKELEY, CAL, April 29-The pro-
posal OF A. r. Frann. the new Trustee OF
Ward 4, 10 abolish one of the deputy mar
shalships has aroused a controversy over
the business of the Marshars office, and IL
is now proposed to do away with both
deputies.
Trustee Frann declares that the three
men in tn Marshal's office ara virtually
doing nothing most OF the time, and that
their employment is waste OF pubic
money.
II am informed that a goodly part of
the Marshal's time is taken up in collect
ing license money" said Trustee Frann.
What reason is there for paying a man
$50 per month to do what the clerk or
Assessor could do as well as not? If a
license be not paid notice by mail ought
to be sufficient demand, TO be followed
by fine for nom ment within proper
time.
This would enable the Marshal to at
tend to the duties of his office instead of
going about collecting licenses"
1t is now proposed that both Deputy
MarshaIs be discharged and mum Der OF
special watchmen be employed on fees.

report yesterday. They appraise all the
property, together with int rovements, at

three-fourths OF the Blair ranch, valued
81 $50, 1913 while Florence Blair has one
fourt of the same, but the letter is also
awarded property in Pleasant Valley
valued at $50, 532. To satisfy the interest
OF Mabel Souires the latter is granted
twenty-five acres beyond Mountain View
Cemetery valued at S37, 596. 1t is more
than probable that the report of the ref.
erees will be accepted by the Iitieant,
and the case decided out of court.

to Oakland. For various good reasons
the young lady has been placed under the
guardianship of Mrs. Prescott ana is now
attending q we'll kno own scholastic insti-
tuition in this city. Her father wished TO
take her across the bay with him to visit
some relatives. The girl had been partic-
ularly instructed by her guardian that
under no circumstances should she cross
the bay without express permission.
When herfather arrived Elsie says Mrs.
Prescott was in San Francisco at Secretary
Welch's office, and in order to obey her
instructions the girl and her father went
to San Francisco and called on WEIGH
for the purpose Of meeting If possible
Elsie's guardian.
Mrs. Prescott was not there, and WEIGH
made some inquiry OF the father. found
out the circumstances attending their
visit, al once forbade her to remain with
her parent, and in charge of an officer
sent her to girls home.
Elsie has Away. been we'll cared for and
carefully protected from pernicious in
huences. At the home she met all classes
OF girls, whose conduct ard language
were great surprise to her and caused
her TO recoil from contact with them.
Her guardian telephcned to Secretary
WEIGH, but could do nothing, and was too
busy for several days to cross the bay.
When, however, she did GO to the home,
she was refused permission 10 see the
cnild OF which she is the legal custodian,
ana was told that without written order
from WEIGH she could not get Elsie. Be-
ing OF determined disposition she called
on President Sonntag OF the society, and
when she returned to Oakland Elsie was
with her and without a written order.
In telling her story Elsie was ccm-
pletely broken hearted over the fact that
she bad been imprisoned for five days
against her will. with no reason or JUS
tice, and she concluded by stating that
she was very pleased that there was to be
change of secretaries on the 1st of May,
so that no other little girls are likely to
be treated in the same manner.
When asked about the case, Mrs Pres
colt stated that it would be very mad
Ylsable for one branch of an organization
to criticize the head Office. Although not
denying the facts that were presented to
her, she declined to discuss the matter
further.
