RUNNING SORES
COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema instantaneous Relief
By Cuticura-L Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
Of Torturing Sores = Grateful
Mother Says;
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

In reply to your letter write you
my experience, and you are privileged
TO use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obst--
nate case of eczema, resorted to the
CutIcura Remedies, and was SO well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tlrely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
In July of this year little boy In
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and IN twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were q mass
Of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
Anolnted them with the Cuticura ONT
ment. and then gave him the Cuticura
hesolvent- In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots OF cause for feeling grateful for the
Cutlcura Remedies. Ne find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as NE do
twelve miles from doctor, and where
It costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
Respectfully. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent

County Assessors Must not Copy Old
Lists

/ Lists
Alta meeting Of the Levy Court Tnes-
day the newly.eIected assessors were
sworn into office BIZ Deputy Clerk Of the
Peace George Janrier. The assessors alsa
received their instructions. President
McFarin of the Levy Court informed The
Wilmington assessors that they would be
expected to make an entirely new assess
ment of property in Wilmington FIR
county purposes. In most instances in
the past the assessors have been recopy-
ing the old lists and making changes here
and there but the court desires an en-
tirely new assessment to be turned IN
early next year.
After conference the members of the
court decided to notify Charles II. Le-

Kent county and Delaware Bay Traction
Company, that its application for the use
of county roads within New Castle county
will be considered on Tuesday next and

members Of the court are opposed 10
granting any blanket franchises such as
Mr.. LeFevre's resolution submitted To
the court provides it mentioning cou ty
reads generally without specifying any
particular roads desired.
The Rev. j. r. MiIligan of st. Georges
stared that lie had again canvassed the
residents living along the Stale road from
Delaware City to Odessa and found that
with one exception they all favored the
granting OF the right of way to the rail-
way company to. lay tracks along the state
road. He said he felt that the company
cond have tile work begun within six
months after it had received the right OF
way.
County Treasurer Burns reported that
he had received the following taxes: Will
mington City Electric Company, $500;
Wilmington City Railway Company;

phone Company, $50. Sheriff Gillis
turned over $G20 he had collected as costs
to the county treasurer.

FOR NEW STATE HOUSE
Impressions That The Legislature VIII
Take Some Actien


TIE sahject Of new State capital for
Delaware is again being agiiated and
several of the new Legislators have ex-
pressed the opinion that something ought
to be done at this session looking toward
this end.
The present State House OF Delaware is
unqnestionably inadequate and lacks the
dignity or elegance of architecture CON-
mensurate with the home Of sovereign
State and the seat Of its Assembly delib-
erRtions.
The State is receiving enougl revenue
and it is suggested that as it is all spent
every two years for one thing or another,
and that these other things are getting
in line for divide OF all that comes in
this year, tile best method OF insuring
the saving of the present handsome rev.
enHe coming into the little State, is to
build a new aud modern State capitol.
It would be investing ones own COM
furtable income in a commodiuus aud
comfortable home, it is declared by the
agitators Of the movement, before letting
other people carry all ones income away
from home.
State Librarian Thomas w. Wilson is
going to urge the Legislature in his re-
port to do something that will relieve he
congestion of the State library. Here
perishable and priceless documents OF
State, Nation and legal and scientific
works are stored, sale in boxes down the
basement because there is not room
upstairs.
State Treasurer Rawliiis will petition
for more room, and the Legislature audit
ing committee last winter discussed
Recommendation to enlarge his quarters
il nothing else were done.
There are several plans under discus
sion and any one Of which may be brought
to the attention OF Legislative committee
or the entire Legislature.

tance in the house plan for whatever kind
Of home simple or pretentious. If large
enough to afford both living room and

HOUSEHOLD TOPICS

The extreme rigidity of "The Simple
Life as laid down in the book of that
title, which year or two ago found its
way into the home OF almost every intel
ligent reading family, was the cause of its
failure to influence its following by a
larger class. Still it left an impress upon
the minds of many readers and its dis
cussion has lead indirectly to a change Of
opinion about what constitutes correct
and artistic taste in home-making and
furnishing. It has helped, as well, TO
make Us realize the fallacy, not to say
absurdity of some Of our traditions, and
the sentiment that now prevails and is
contrary to the views of our ancestors, is
that the home must be place for the
family to live in and be comfortable and
happy
