IT'S a shame to humanity that farm
ers and others persist in leaving for
half-a-day and longer, valuable teams
hitched along the streets of Milford,
to SILVER in the cold storms and
winds. 1t is cruel to the beasts and
a nuisance in front of the places
where they stand. A dime will pro-
vide care and comfort for the teams
as well as safety Of property, at any
Of the public stables in Milford. A
team hitched for five hours in front
Of place Of business prevents the
business man from receiving the
patronage of those who would drive
to the front of his store, as custom

front OF their places or homes, and
leaves piles Of manure to become an
annoyance to the public. The man
who practices this method of leaving
teams, will object to making a
change, but if the merchant will do
away with the awning post nuisance
the matter will right itself quickly.

UNDER the old system Of drawing
jurors, the people of Sussex county
would never have had to meet
the color question but the episode
OF drawing a colored man as a juror
by the Commission, emphasizes the
fact, that no two men can draw
jurors with more satisfaction to the
people all over the county-than
can ten men, each a resident Of the
district from where the jurors are
drawn. We have no faith in a jury
commission, and believe that in less
than ten years it will be abanded.

We hope that all who profess to
be Republicans feel that it is neces-
sary for the Republican party in
Delaware to present a solid front,
and that no man who differs in ideas
from another, mustnot be ostracised.
We have had able men at the head
Of the party in the past, and new
forces are constantly coming into
the field but, it is not for any man
or set of men to set themselves up
as the whole organization, ignoring
others. All should give loyal sup
port to the heads of the party, but
with all that, there is something due
from the head of any party to those
who have fought and are fighting its
battles. The Chronicle believes in
organization and a loyal support for
the administration.

WELL the next session of the VIII.
mington Conference is to meet in
Milford. This town has three large
hotels, and the ministers will find
ample accommodations. There is
no reason why the people should
entertain them free, and good
woman stay at home to do cook
ing and other drudging, that they
may save few dollars. Milford
will welcome all visitors as they
should be welcomed but school
teachers are compelled to pay their
footing, and as they get much less
salary than preachers, we fail to see
why the.preacher should be especially
favored; of the two, the teacher needs
free entertainment most.

We have tried in all possible ways
to show our appreciation of the lib
eral patronage given us. In the
columns of our paper we have fought
for our town to the best of our abil-
ity. We would not be egotistical,
but believe that by using this paper
as a weapon we have been enabled
to render some assistance to the en-
terprise and growth of our little city.
If our paper has pleased you we are
fully repaid for the hard labor we
have given it, and can promise our
readers that in the future it will be
far superior to the past, as we have
decided to give more attention and
work to the local field, realizing our
readers appreciate spicy local page. !

The Remarkable will
of a Doctor
he Leaves the Secret Of Life to His
Children and the World.

One Of the worlds greatest physicians
upon his death bed called his children
about him and said: when l die I will
leave the secret Of life, as 1 lave dlscov-
cred it in my practice"
When they read his will II directed them
to a safety vault which contained a large
envelope, marked thus: THE Secret Of
Life" Upon opening It they read; Don't
abuse the stomach" This profound
hinke after a long life OF medicine knew
the stomach to be the throne Of man.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will help you
make a stomach healthy.
II It Is worn out and lacks the fluids OF
digestion. these tablets will take the place
OF such fluids.
II II lie filled with poisonous Juices, these
tablets will neutralize and remove such
poison.
II you cannot eat without agony. these
tablets will show you how you can. II
you will eat foolishly, or drink excessively,
or II business demands abuse OF stomach.
these tablets after meals will make such
abuse light, for they take the hardship
away from the stomach.
They are great digesters, filled with
more powerful agents than the system can
give. They go back into the blood after
they have digested a meal, thereby in
creasing the ability OF nature to take care
of digestion without exhausting other
organs.
High livers need feel no considerable
hardship IL they will eat one Of these little
tablets after a rich or late meal.
1t is a splendid gift to the stomach and
a good habit to form. Stuart Dyspepsia
Tablets sell for Soc per package at every
drug store.

WANTS RURAL PARCELS POST
Postmaster General Meyer Thinks il
Will Be Money Maker.
DEFICIT OF DEPARTMENT LARGE
Due In Great Part to Increase I'm SAL
aries Authorised by
Receipts Exceed Year
Previous.

WASHINGTON, Nov. a.-Postmaster
General Meyer announced today that the
postal deficit for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1908, amounted to SIG, 91O,279. The
receipts were $191, AIS, $50. Cbeing N.S5.601
greater than the previous year,, and the
expenditures sos, Sl, SS6. The deficit Is the
largest in the history of the Postoffice de-
partment.
An analysis of the figures shows that
50 ,S91,3 21 represents the advance in the rate
of compensation authorized By congress for
employees Of the railway mail service, rural
delivery service. city delivery service and
assistant postmasters and clerks In post
offices. The normal increase in the rev.
enue for several years was about 9 per
cent, and in 1908 4.29 per cent, the falling
off in the rate of growth being due to the
financial depression.
The postmaster general said in his an
nual report he would call the attention of
congress to the fact that he is firmly
convinced that the establishment of a local
parcels post. confined to rural routes.
would tend to wipe out the postal deficit
and would finally make the rural service
self-sustaining. besides being Of convent
ence to the farmer and a boon 10 the re-
tail country merchant"
There are now in operation more than
80, COO rural routes, he said, serving a pop
ulation Of about 1900, 900 people, and should
an average of fifty pounds of merchandise
be carried by the rural carriers on each
trip through the year, 1t is estimated that
SIS, 10000 would be realized. The rate
would be 8 cents for the first pound and 2
cents for each additional pound up to
eleven pounds, the maximum weight of a
package. with the exception OF a small
percentage paid to postmasters of the
fourth class for increased cancellations, he
said, all revenue from this parcel post
would be clear gain, as there would be no
railroad transportation whatever, the serv.
ice being confined to packages mailed by
bona fide merchants and patrons of the
rural routes.

Corn will be used exclusively as the ma

given a most instructive object lesson In
the manufacture of a cheap fuel for power.
The still is of such a nature, however. that
potatoes can be used for the purpose, as is
