NEW cHARTER FoR ME CITY.

nj ANY recommendations are to be made to
n the coming session of the Legislature as
regards the government OF this city Already
Council is looking into the legislative needs OF
the city. If new charter is not secured the
present charter will be amended in fragments.
Such amendments would likely be in conflict with
other provisions OF the charter and we should
have more confusion. Some of those interested
in securing better schemD of municipal govern
ment have all along favored the amending OF
the present charter Others believe that there
should be a new instrument. We are inclined to
support the latter opinion.
The charter question is being considered by
the committee of the Board of Trade. Doubt
less because such efforts in the past have been
barren of results at Dover those who favor new
charter are not at present very enthusiastic in
the belief that new charter can be secured at
the present session 1t is, of course dscouragng
to see time and labor expended on charter go
for naught when the result OF that labor faces the
lawmakers at Dover.
And yet some organization or some influential
leaders should take up the charter subject If
sufficient sentiment were aroused we believe
that the Legislature would grant a charter for
Wilmington to meet the modern needs of a city
like Wilmington
1t would be fruitless to attempt to secure city
charter designed 70 aid one of the political par
ties. There is no prospect that either party will
soon have a two-thirds control in the Legislature,
which would enable polhica charter TO be
forced through, even were such a charter desir-
able
One house in the coming Legislature will be
Republican and the other Democratic. The
Democrats will have control of the lower house
of the General Assembly by the narrow margin
of one vote. With each party protesting to favor
enlightened legislation, the prospect should be
fairly good for Wilmington to secure a new char
ter But time and labor will be required if we
are to get the charter.
Perhaps the Board Of Trade is about the only
organization that could undertake the prepara-
ton of a charter. The labor, however, would not
be 50 onerous, because the ground has been COW
cred in the previous efforts and it would seem
that new instrument satisfactory to conflicting
interests could be made from the charters which
have already been prepared

TYPHOID FEVER IN READING.

IT He city of Reading is in the throes of ty-
Il phoid fever epidemic The record of the
number of those afflicted with this preventable
disease is appalling. There are almost six hun
dred cases in Reading. The principal means OF
combating the spread of the fever seems TO be
the general advice to boil, for at least twenty
minutes, all the water used for either drinking or
cooking purposes Boiled water must be served
in theatres and other public places
The disease seems to have been caused in
Reading by impure water and general unsanitary
conditions. Good water is essential to the health
of the inhabitants of a city. And while the advice
to boil the water may be shouted from daylight
until nghtfall, many citizens will not heed that
advice They will drink the water as it comes
from the spigots and take chances of disease
Therefore the water as it reaches the user should
be in as good condition as possible.

WHISKEY FOR RHEUMATISM

The increased use of whiskey for

nifty. 1t is an almost infaHible cure

lowing is the formula:
ITO one half pint of good whiskey
add one ounce of Toris compound and
one ounce of syrup Sarsaparilla COM

Boston Banker Spent Last
Eight Years In Misery

Charles Fl. Hutchinson, a leading
banker and broker of Boston, with
offices at 8 Congress street, in that
city, has recently come out with very
strong statement.
In the widespread discussion over
Cooper's new theory and medicines
which has spread over the country so
rapidly, Mr.. Hutchinson has taken the
side Of those who say that Cooper's
theory is correct and his medicine all
that he claims.
Mr.. Hutchinson's emphatic state
ment is as follows: anyone afflicted
with chronic ill health and a general
rum down condition caused by stomach
trouble. who does not try this man
Cooper's medicine, Is very foolish. l
say this after a most remarkable ex-
perience with the medicine.
Il heard OF Cooper's success first
when he was in Chicago. as I have a
private wire to that city in connection
with by business. Later, when lie
came East, learned more of him and
his theory that stomach trouble causes
most i'll health. have had no faith
in anything not prescribed by ply
stefan for each particular case after
careful diagnosis, but after eight years
of constant suffering, during which
