While some companies have great
strength. The Mutual Life Insurance
Company has the strength Of fifty
years.
When a company like The Mutual
Life Insurance Company is so old and
so heartily endorsed by all great men
such as John Wanamaker and Van
derbilt, not only by all rich men, but
by a greater number of poor, it is
easily seen that it is built upon the
solid rock of integrity
If it had begun in a more elaborate
way, it might not have succeeded. But
the expenses have grown in proportion
to the possibilities, and now it is not
only the largest, but the strongest

The State Convention


From the Middletown Transcript.
The convention Of the Republicans Of
Delaware which assembled in Dover on
Tuesday was in many respects a no
table gathering. The delegates went to
attend strictly to business and the real
work of the convention was completed
in forty-fve minutes. No time was
wasted in speech making and Chair
man Mitchell, while permitting the del
egates to have free expression, kept
things moving.
AS was expected, there was absolute
" no opposition to the denomination OF
the ticket elected two years ago, and
IA Heisler Ball for Representative in
Congress, Martin b. Burris for State
Treasurer. and Purnal b. Norman. for
Auditor of Accounts were named by
acclamation.
The platform adopted is a model OF
brevity and clear in its exposition OF
Republican principles. The admins
tration of President Roosevelt was en-
dorsed and the support of Delaware
Republicans pledged to secure his re-
nomination in 1904. The course Of this
Government towards Cuba and in the
pacification OF the Philippines, is up.

of cruelty, the Democratic attacks on

On State issues the platform is as di

The End in Sight

From the Sussex Republican.
The defeat of Newell Ball, who
backed John Vandenburg in his fight
in the Second legislative district in
this county, and the defeat of State
Senator S. John Abbott in the Fifth
senatorial district of Kent county will
please every good Republican. Both
were comparatively unknown until
they became the servile tools Of Ad-
dicks and through his favors were
brought then to public notice. This
publicity has proven their undoing. 1t
was too much for men of their calibre.
No king or monarch OF the isles Of the

such a pretentious strut For years

SOME SOURCES OF DISEASE

In a modern city there are 9ources OF
disease that are unsuspected. and the
modern tendency to gather in great
crowded centres. should keep us alert
to the dangers which such con-
gested populations entail. In the last
few years there has been crusade
against the disgusting and dangerous
habit Of splitting in public places; our
sense of cleanliness was first shocked
and then science informed us that here
was the source of many OF those dis
eases which appear so Unexpectedly,
and whose results are so deadly, par
ucularly consumption. But wherever
efforts have been taken to have the
practice stopped, the public has ac-
quiesce~ without a protest, showing
that the justice Of the measure is un
derstOod.
Another source Of disease is the con
, slant digging up Of the streets TO la,
Q pavements. car tracks and to put dow
r gas, sewer or water pipes. There ar
y so many things that are put under
a ground that the streets are being COL
d stantly uug Up, and the poisonou

e exposed. An examination of the SUI
/ soil thus exposed will frequently reve

by the rains, blown by the winds and
carried to exposed meats and vege-
tables. The streets of a modern city
should rarely be disturbed, and the
system in vogue in Paris should be
adopte,.. There under the streets are
immense tunnels; these contain the
s.wers. besides conduits for all pipes
and wires that may be put under
ground, thus obviating the necessity
OF constantly disturbing the surface.
Still another source Of disease is in
the closed dwellings and school houses.
After weeks or months Of non-occu-
pancy everything has been covered
with dust from the streets. This holds
a large proportion Of bacteria, more or
less dangerous. The thrifty housewife
of courst is not satisfied until thor
ough cleaning has taken place, but it
is not always true Of the school rooms.
In ..-4er case there are water pipes
that have become full of stagnant
water. This should be drawn off, all
the SINKS, pipes, tubs and closets thor
oughly cleaned, and disinfectants
should De literally applied. Doctors
frequently speak of sanitary cleanli-
ness. which means the destruction OF
all bacteria. This should be the aim.
Before the schools are opened, every
appliance should be thoroughly looked
after. and the cleaning of filters and
water coolers is most important

Those Donahoe Charges

The Board of Education meets to-

Donohoe. member OF the board, may
be settled once and for all. The special

charges has met, but adjourned without
accomplishing anything. as Mr.. Dono-
hoe instead OF swearing to his accusa-

proved or disproved. Routine matter!
