HEALTH MORE VALUABLE
THAN GREAT WEALT
The Road TO Success Has Been Discovered
by "a New Plan.

by a New Plan.
Good health is at the foundation of busi-
ness success and personal happiness. Men.
and women too, for that matter, in this
age of feverish business and social activity
are too apt TO neglect the thing that brings
and preserves good health.
II is almost needless to state that good
digestion is the basis OF good health and
that good teeth are essential to good diqes-
tion. IL therefore becomes n matter OF
permanent Importance 70 everybody that
the teeth be preserved.
There Is no excuse for bad teeth if neople
will only act in time and have their teeth
looked after regularly. That is the object
OF the New Method Dental Parlors at
6lOj6 Market street. For one dollar year
they keep the teeth of any client in perfect
condition. They use only the most unto
date scientific dental methods and place
them at the disposal of everyone.
10 Is simply teeth insurance--the same ae
you would insure your house. One dollar e
year Is uiting Investment compared TO
the amount Of service and benefit the client
derives.
The oest service Is given, absolutely pain
less, by the use of new anasthetic for
extracting purposes far superior to gas. Ii
has the advantage of leaving no unpleasant
after effects and also causes no sunocatinr
sensation such as is experienced when Gas
y administered. lt can he given with per-
"ffNtNttfNNANfA
adults. The new anmsihetic operates 40
quickly that the patient does not realize
he Is taking Il. Two or three breaths and a
peaceful sleep ansues. This is but one Of
the latest advances in dentistry adopted
BY tho New Method Dental Pariors.
We can give you ample reference as to the
character OF the work al the New Method''
Dental Parlots.
Mr.. Daniel Humphries, manager of tine
lyceuin Theatre will be- glad to answer
Inquiries. Our clients who insure their
teeth ioI 81 year, can call as often as
they please 70 have their teeth examined
Just 10 make sure they are sound. n there

Wilmington Del, Feb s, 1906
The President and Members of City
Council, Wilmington, Del, Gentlemen:
The report of your finance committee
last week estimates that the deficit for
the year ending July lst, 1906, will be
$4,000.
/, therefore. feel It my duty to call
your attention 10 the growing deficit TO-
gether with our increased bonded debt
IL is very plain that this increasing ex-
cess of expenditures over income. cannot
20 on indefinitely, and the credit and high
reputation of the city of Wilmington,
continue. Either there must be less
money spent, or more raised Il is pos
sible that our machinery for collecting
taxes is not OF the most modern charac-
ter, and that its operation should be
moro energetic with delinquents. The
City Auditor is authority for the amount
of uncollected taxes for the following
years and amounts.

One Of the astonishing things In

Of supplying the consumer, is the ut

to the matter of quality. The same
thing applies to fruit. 1t would be
excusabe If there were no other sorts,
but when there are a dozen more or
less far better than the varieties Of

melons and bought them in large guam
titles until all that were offered them
were so poor in quality they stopped
using them and the producer lost valu-
able trade. The Honey melon, which

is one of the promising new sorts. 1t

green and the flesh a yellowish green.

1t is important to have cattle of
good individual quality and to have

it is equally important that their en-
viroment be right, writes New York

poor crops can only develop stock Of
poor quality. am positive Of this.
The farm on which my cattle are kept
Is considered one of the best in the
county and is not getting any poorer
with the large amount Of manure my
stock make. 1t is not what could be
called high ground, but almost level
and well drained. This soil is under

limestone and blue grass lands Of Ken

the stock that came from them.

To Fight Boil WeevII.

Secretary Wilson, Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, asks in his re-
port to Congress that $1O5,5OO be ap-
propriated rs the boil weevil item for
the following year 1t Is proposed that
the Secretary be authorized to expend
the appropriation in such manner as
he shall deem best, in cooperation
with the State experiment stations
and practical cotton growers. OF the
special appropriation of $685. which
was made for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1906, $lO5,OOO has been used
Dy the Bureau Of Plant Industry IN
the study Of cotton diseases, diversl-
tication and cooperation with the va
rious experiment stations in extend
ing the improved cultural methods. 1t
Is recommended that this approprla-
tloD be continued, not as separate
item. but as part of the regular bu-
reau funds. 1t is highly important,
the Secretary Of Agriculture adds,
that the Investigate ton on breeding of
new cottons, the general propaganda
work on improved cultural methods,
the study Of the diseases and diversifi-
cation Of crops be continued and ex-
tended into other Southern States like
ly to be invaded by the weevil. The
object Of this appropriation is to on
able the department to continue this
work.

Milk Pays More than Butter.

The following, with reference to the
decline Of butter manufacture in En-
gland. is from Hon. Frank w. Mahin,
United States consul at Nottingham,
England: Zone plausible explanation
of the manifest decline in dairying in
England Is that 1t is more profitable
to sell the milk, the drinking Of which
Is increasing, than to convert 1t into
butter. Consequently the average
British farmer Is making no butter to
sell, but is even buying what he needs
for his own use. Furthermore, 1t is
asserted that some English dairies buy
foreign butter and sell 1t as their own
productive domestic article, though
inferior, in the judgment Of many con-
sumers, commanding higher price
than the foreign

many Of the medicine men had been

converted medicine women were not
30 reticent, but their revelations were
