CONFER ABOUT
BRIDGE REPAIRS
New Castle and Kent Levy
Courts Disagree Over the
Cost Of Work

President Robert McFarlin and
Commissioners c. c. Hopkins, Harry
A. Brown and w. A. Scott, of the
finance committee Of the Levy Court
Of New Castle county. and County
Comptroller Philemma Chandler went
to Dover and conferred all OF yester-
day afternoon with a similar commit
tee Of the Levy Court OF Kent county,
Of which Commissioner John p Hud
son is chairman, over the settlement Of
an account Of $4,000, Of which amouat
the New Castle county commissioNe
wanted Kent county 10 pay S2S00.
The claim is one for rebuilding with
concrete the approaches to F1eming's
Bridge and general repairs TO the
bridge itself. This bridge, spanning as
IL does the waterway dividing New
Castle and Kent counties, Is supposed
to be maintained by the two counties.
Now, however New Castle county has
a bill on her hands and cannot collect
the other half.
II has been a point OF contention for
some time by Kent county that TOO
much expense is contracted I'm the care
Of this bridge. and that whatever is
done New Castle goes ahead and then
comes 10 Kent county Win All dSHeSS-
ment" Of what Kent will have TO pay.
A committee of the Kent Levy Court
hearing that demand was about 10
be made from New Castle, visited the
bridge recently and did not make a
glowing report Of conditions there.
New Castle, it is pointed out, by hav-
ing much larger resources than Kent,
goes into things heavier.
There was quite lively tilt between
the respective county commissioners
yesterday, although a vein Of good
humor seemed to be apparent. New
Castle wanted to get all she could and
Kent county wanted 10 keep all she
could. At any rate, II was pointed out
Kent county cannot be sued in Della
ware. There is talk OF postponement
until the November meeting,

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

HINTS TO GIVERS OF
WEDDING PRESENTS

II friend is to be married. and one
is sure that silver ana gold will be
showered upon her. why not give her a
dainty piece of underwear that she
can't duplicate in the shops?
one Of the new evening petticoats
made Of net would be a most accept
able choice. II the bride-to-be goes
into society even the least bit, she will
want one thin. dainty petticoat to wear
under her soft evening .frocS.
Silk ones have always been plentiful
at small and high prices: muslin ones.
with hand embroidery and lace, are
considered more elegant than silk, even
for ball gowns. but they are beyond
the purse Of tife average girl.
The fashionable thing is this net un-
derslirt. which is to aid the clinging,
serpentine effect OF all the new skirts.
TO make one. get the coarse net that
carries starch and has oody. Cut It by
a seven-gored pattern. atting the hips,
and trim it wish three deep Spanish
rufiies. which are deliberately trimmed
The edges are rolled and finished with
three-inch flounces Of good lace Above
this are fine tucks dividing two-inch
lace insertion. Each ruffle is put on
with a lace beading an inch wide.
through which is threaded colored
satin ribbon that is flushed with long
ends at the left side.
DO not make the skirt TO touch the
ground. This is entirely out Of fashion
The lining must carry any long skirt
and the petticoat must be cut off at
the ankle.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is iniiamed
hearing, and when II is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

Good Way to Dry Flowers.


A very good way to dry flowers is
to smoke them with sulphur in an air
tight box. Fix up the box with cross
bars. so that the flowers may be hung
on them.
A small plate or basin is then placed
through an opening in the bottom of
the box. In this put a quantity OF
sulphur and set fire to il. The box
must then be covered With a damp
cloth. In about "a hours the flowers
should be sufficiently preserved; If so,
they will appear white in color; IL not,
the process must be repeated.
They should then be hung in an airy
place TO dry. Their colors viii then
come back again. or at the most. take
on a lighter shade only. and if care
be taken the results will be sure to
please.

To Add a Dainty Touch.


Nothing adds a daintier touch to
nicely furnished home than bright and
pretty pieces of silver. In buying this
one should look to utility and general
appearance. The plain or only slight
" engraved stvle is considered the best
form. Pierced silver is also quite good
and is used for a number of differen;
articles.
A pretty adornment for a table is a
berry dish Of plain silver
Anyone knows that chow-chow serv-
ed in the bottle is not a very becoming
ornament for table use. To take away
this unpleasant sight a holder has been
made Of pierced silver. into which the
bottle is set Just as it has been pur-
chased.
A useful article of silver is TO be
found in the ice tub. This is of pierced
silver with an inner glass lining.
A Drettv article for the buffet is a
COMFORT of silver with an inner glass
lining. Fruit heaped upon this colored
glass looks tempting enough to please
the greatest epicure.
For a birthday gift nothing Is more
appropriate than a small piece of sill
yer. a good idea being a small slipper
of silver with a pin cushion enclosed
Candlesticks Of silver are also a pleas
ing gift.
Bonbon dishes of silver are always in
good style and are pretty in almost any
size.
A basket 10 make a woman envious
