Confinement and Hard Work

Indoors, particularly in the sitting posture,
are far more prejudieial to health than ex-
cessive muscular exertion in the open air.
Hard sedentary workers are far too weary
after office hours to take much needful exer
else in the open air. They often need tonic.
Where can they seek invigoration more
certainly and agreeably than from Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, renovant particu-
larly adapted to recruit the exhausted force
of nature. Use also for dyspepsia, kidney,
liver and rheumatic ailments.

THAT GARBAGE CREMATORY.
THE QUESTION AGAIN DISCUSSED
BY CITY COUNCIL-APPEAL
FROM THE BOARD OF TRADE.


The main topic for discussion at last
nights meeting Of City Council was
the garbage question. Ever since the
present crematory has been in opera
tion, it has not been satisfactory. the
sole reason given being that il is too
small for the consumption of the
citys garbage. The matter has been
thoroughly discussed By City Council,
and 1t was decided last night to allow
the Crematory Committee to visit other
cities and investigate their methods Of
dispCsing OF garbage. The Board OF
Health will cooperate with the com

the condition of the crematory in this

company would take full charge of the
crematory and do the whole work with
out any charge, except the first cost

referred to the Crematory Committee.

BRADLEY NOW COMMANDER.
SUCCEEDS COLONEL NORTON IN
THE DEPARTMENT OF DELAWARE.
CLOSE OF THE ANNUAL ENCAMP-
MENT OF THE GRAND ARMY AT
HARRINGTON - SEVEN PAST
COMMANDERS DEAD.

The seventeenth annual encampment
OF the Department OF Delaware. 6. A.
r., was held at atHarrington, Kent county,
yesterday There were 1875 delegates
from all parts Of Delaware present in
uniform, and twenty-three posts were
represented.
Colonel William b. Norton, of Will
mington, department commander, call
ed the annual convention to order in
the new Opera House at Harrington. at
1890 a. IN. All the morning session
was occupied in reading reports OF the
various state officers.
The report of Department Com
mander Norton showed a mournful
year in the history ofthe great patriotic
organization in Delaware, which knows
no sect CT creed, but upholds the same
old flag under which its members
fought and bled. The report showed
an extraordinary fatality among the
members in Delaware and, as there is
no mastering force now at work and
nobody to take the places OF those who
have answered the last roll-call, the
Delaware organizations ranks are
greatly reduced.
Seven past post commanders have
died during the past year, thus reluc-
ing materially the membership in the
department encampment yesterday.
Among the deceased are Past Com
mander Zimmerman, of Post Q Past
Commander Duffy, Of Post .; Past Com
mander Noshell, Of Post 8; and Colonel
} S. NJ. Wood, Of Post /.
AS is usual there was the liveliesi
kind of a contest over the high office OF
department commander of Delaware
These were placed in nomination:
Joseph Bradley, Of Post Z. Milford
Robert Lidell. Of Post 1, Wilmington;
William II. Kelley, Of Post 2, Whining
ton; Dr. J. W. Messick, of Post IS
Georgetown After strong speeches
and several ballots, Colonel Bradley, o
Milford, was declared elected.
The election of department officers
then resulted as follows: Senior vic
commander. e. II. Thomas. Harring
ton, Post 10; junior vice commander
William Moyston. Dupont Post, 2; de
partment chaplain, Jacob Lamplugi
Smyth Post, !; medical director. Dl
