iastic of Delawaro's distinguished sons.
Although he has been privileged TO
admire the beauties OF Europe and to
behold the grandeur of western Amer

WINGED that Delaware. after all, is one
Of the best places IN the world In which
to spend a summer vacation. He loves
her hills and her people better than
ever
Because of his long service on the
State Bench. Judge Grubb's nervous
system has been seriously affected OF
late years. but today he is gradually
recovering. His sight, however, COM
tinues poor In the hope OF recovering
his former health the distinguished jur-
list has travelled all over America and
much of the continent and has been
greatly benefited by the new scenes
and climate. but his days Of travelling
are at an end. Delaware and Whining
ton suit him.

tion this year" said the iurist today

Making Over A Gown.

The present style Of having the arm
hole outlined BY a wide bias fold OF
silk the color of the frock opens up
great possibilities for the gown that
has grown too narrow across the
back or chest. and so do the bias folds
in tuck effect with which many Of the
newest dresses are trimmed. When the
armhole is trimmed as mentianed. the
rest of the waist Is generally in eton
coat effect with a fancifully cut band
at border, and is worn over a lace OF
net waist with ruffied sleeves in elbow
length. What was formerly the
sleeve in the waist can be transformed
into a sleeve cap. loose and short, and
with these few touches the old waist
is completely up-to-date.

6ayberry Candles.

To make bayberry candles. put the
berries into a kettle with plenty OF
water and let them boil fast. AS the
wax raises skim it off and throw it
into another kettle Of hot water. When
the water is cold the wax win be in
a cake on top. When ready to make
the candles melt the wax and run into

more slowly than common ones, and
give out a faint aromatic odor. They
are quite expensive to buy, and there

WORD TO VOTERS

carrying Of the constitution into ef-
feet, but it does declare that they
will amend it throughout.
They don't tell you what amend
ments they will make, but they should
follow the twenty-six objections filed
by Governor Frantz, and to do this,
they will have to amend the constitu-
ton by striking out twenty-three Of
the twenty-four demands that were
put into the constitution at the re-
quest of the farmers and laborers of
this state.
We have seen seventeen years Of
rule by the carpet-bagger and the
corporation. Our motto IS, "Let the
People Rule" and it rests with the
people themselves to decide this mo
mentousu question.
You know whether you want the
provisions Of the constitution car
ried into effect and you have my SOL
emn pledge, If elected, that everyone
Of these provisions shall be carried
into effect.

with which the enemies Of good gov
