OUR DRINKING WATER.

THE city authorities are showing commend
u able zeal in the matter OF the pollution OF
the drinking water of Wilmington This ques-
ton is one of vital Importance The city rs to
spend hundreds of thousands OF dollars to secure
new filtration system, and every effort should
be made to prevent contamination OF the Brandy
wine by residents of either Pennsylvania or Della
ware
Under the new system the people will have a
right to expect that they shall be furnished with
as pure drinking water as it is possible to obtain
Most folk in a city will drink the water as IT
comes from the spigots. Health authorities may
Issue instructions about boiling the water as a
safeguard but this practice is neglected by the
majority. Itis-doubtful if boiled water, or pure
water, is furnished in any OF the public places OF
the city.
The city solicitor and the water commissioners
should leave no stone unturned in their fight for
good water Proceedings in court or any other
course should be pursued that promises to bring
the desired result Wilmingtonians want better
and purer water. The health of the city IN no
small degree, depends upon it.

The New York fruit importers are in a lively
discussion over the question of lemon rebates
and reforms. 1t appears that the Sicilian pro-
ducers have been handing out variety of doc

elimination in the rebates on lemons. The sub

thing concerning lemons would be particularly

Compared with the employees of foreign mills
and factories, the lot of the American is not bad
A consular report of the condition Of the cotton
industry in Austria-lungary shows that but 4S
per cent of the employees in these mills are men,
while 81 per cent. are women The percentage
of women workers is increasing, and there is
large employment of children. Few high grade
or automatic machines are used in the mills and
the wages are so low that whole families are COM
PEELED to work. A division OF the total amount
of wages paid in this industry, by the year, would
assure to each employe only SII675. The salary
of the managers of the larger factories varies
from $1,000 to $4,000 annually.

Board of County Commissioners of santa Rosa County, who. 1t is alleged, illegally called the election.
 Tho bill. which was drawn by the att torney before he left here this mora ing. states that according to the ofn- cial count Of the County Commission- CTS. there are 1880 registered voters in the county. and as the law calling for special elections requires the sig natures of 25 per cent of this number to be signed to a petition, the names of 315 were necessary.
 The petition presented by the pro hibitionists contained 346 names. or one more than was necessary. but the bill of complaint filed today alleges that many of the 346 names attached to the petition for the special election were not the names of dualified voters. It also charges that many of the sigma lures to said petition were not the sig natures of persons they purported to be- and were false and fraudulent. and were not signed by the persons pur- port to have signed the said petition.
 The liauor interests therefore de- clare that the petition did not con tain the names of 25 per cent of the registered voters as required by law, and that the entire proceeding is H. legal. It will probably be several weeks before the case is passed upon Tn the courts.

Directions To Prepare simple, Yet Re-

|
 markable, Home Mixture.
 A well-known authority on Rheauma- tism gives the following valuable. yet simple and harmless, prescription, whirl any one can easily prepare at h<ene: AA
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-haif ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce; Compound Syrup sarsaparilia, three ounces.
 Mix by shaking well in bottle. and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescrip- tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be- ing of vegetable extraction, are harm less to take.
 This pleasant mixture, if taken regu- iarIy for few days, is said to over come almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling. if any, dimin- ishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without in- turing the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies. patent medicines. etc, some of which do give relief, few really give perma- nent results. and the above will no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time.
