IN DEFENSE OF TRUCKERS
New Jersey Captain Speaks About
Boats in christiana.

In speaking about the truck and fish
boats occupying the channel, Captain
Joseph d. Fogg. OF Pennsville. this
morning said: Il noticed an article in
your paper of yesterday in reference to
the truck boats of New Jersey at am
chor in the creek at the foot of Church
street, which if read by one not accus-
toned to the conditions of the wharf
at this point would lead them to think
that it was done for the Inconvenience
of the tugboats which proceed up and
down the creek. If YOU will take the
trouble to investigate you viii find that
the boats have to draw out in the
stream that they may not be on mud
at the wharf. 1t is also as much an in
convenience to them as TO the tugs"

CHRISTMAS THINGS FOR
LITTLE HANDS TO MAKE

Here are some more simple things
which the little sisters" can easily
make.
There are several things that are
not exactly pretty. but are extremely
useful that the tlniest girl can make
for her mother. Perhaps the most
simple thing Is dust cloth, a thing
the housekeeper uses every day and
something she can not have too many
Of II your mother uses old, soft cloths
to wipe the dust from her furniture,
II is probably because she never has
the time to hem cheesecloth squares,
and not because she does not like the
nice ones better. Cheesecloth Is so
soft that It will not scratch polished
to choose. 1t Is quite wide and costs
only five cents per yard. 1t takes one
yard for each cloth, SO six yards would
make half dozen dust cloths that
any housekeeper would be glad to
own.
AS the cheesecloth is a yard wide,
it will be necessary to cut IL off in
squares. Take each piece and turn
in the edges, making a narrow hem.
and when that Is done either hem
with common white thread, or, IL
you know any fancy stitch. use some
bright colored yarn and hem that
way instead After the cloths are all
finished fold them in small squares,
pile them on top of each other and
tie together with some pretty ribbon,
making a dainty bow on the top.
Knife and Fork Case.
For the girl who can sew little
on the machine knife and fork case
is an easy thing to make. and will
keep. the silver from furnishing or
becoming scratched One yard of
white Canton flannel is all the ma
terial required. Double the material
lengthwise, with the rough side turn
ed in. That will bring the two sell
wages together. Turn the frayed edges
at each end in ana stitch down That
leaves only one side open. Next take
a ruler, and witt Il pencil mark off
spaces like the illustration Con one
side only. Stitch with machine alone
these lines. When you have finished
you win have neat case with little
compartments Just wide enough to
slip in knife and FORK. When they
are in the case may be rolled up and
put In the silver drawer
Corset Sachet.

experience in sewing MAJ attempt
more difficult things. A corset sachet

The Teacher Won.

Hinton, KY, Nov. 2.-Tor over two
years two of the best physicians in
this part of the State have been treat
ing Mr.. E. J. Thompson, popular
local school teacher, for Diabetes.
They told him that but little could be
done to help him. He made up his
mind to try a new remedy called
Dodds Kidney Pills, and says:
They saved me when the doctors
held out no hope. took in all about
ten boxes. I will always praise Dodd's
Kidney Pills for the great good they
have done for me-"
Many people. and some physicians,
still persist in the belief that Diabetes
is an incurable disease. Our teacher,
Mr. Thompson, says 1t is durable, for
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after
two good physicians had treated him
tor two years without success.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes
will surely cure any case of Kidney
Trouble.

purpose. containing single card
slightly broader than the rest You
draw this card and show it. replace IT,
allow the pack to be shuffled. and
when returned to you ask, while hold
ing the cards behind your back, in
what order the drawn card shall make
It's whether II shall be
the first, second, third. etc. II. for in.
stance, 1t is desired that II should be
the eighth, count off rapidly seven
cards from the top of the pack. insert
the broader card between these and
the rest produce the pack, and in
counting off the cards, the one preyi-
ously shown win prove to be the
eighth from the top.
