ENSIGN WISEMAN IS
NOT TO DEPART

In Salvation Army Hall on Sunday
night Mrs. wiseman, wife Of Adjutant
wiseman, held a largely attended and
impressive meeting.
Mrs. Wiseman, who is an able
speaker, told of how God called her into
the work of the Salvation Army, and
how she had labored for it's success.
She is the founder Of the Door of Hope
Mission Settlement in Tappen, N. Y,
and has instituted seventy missions in
this country, which are operated in
conjunction with the army.
Much strength has been added to the
work in Wilmington, and Adjutant and
Mrs. Wiseman, the local officers, who
were to have said farewell to the work
here on Sunday evening next, have had
their orders Cancelled by the national
body and will remain in the city. Mem
bers of the army and friends of the
Organization are much pleased at this
decision, as both the adjutant and his
wife have done much good since they
have been connected with the local
branch.
Within the past few days there has
been a heavy drain upon the resources
of the army as it has had many ap-
peals for aid from the deserving poor
At present money subscriptions are
being solicited in order to meet the
constant appeals for aid.

Tremendous Popularity Of
Home Prescription Says
Local Druggist

That the readers OF this paper appreci-
ate advice when given in good faith is
plainly demonstrated by the fact that one
well-known local pharmacy supplied the
ingredients for the vegetable prescrip-
ton" many times within the past tive
weeks. The announcement of this simple,
harmless mixture has certainly accom-
plished much in reducing the great many
cases of kidney complaint and rheuma
tism here, relieving pain and misery, es-
peciaIly among the older population, who
are always suffering more or less with
bladder and urinary troubles. backache
and particularly rheumatism.
Another well-known druggist asks us
to continue the announcement Of the pre-.
scription. It is doing SO much real good
here, he continues, that It would be a
crime not to DO so. It cannot be repeated
too often. and further states many cases
Of remarkable cures wrought
The following is the prescription, OF
simple ingredients making a harmless,
inexpensive compound, which any person
can prepare by shaking well in a bottle:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce:
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Any hrst-class
drug store will sell this small amount OF
each ingredient, and the dose for adults
is one teaspoonful to be taken after each
meal and again at bedtime There is
enough here to last for one week, II
taken according to directions. Good re.
suits will be apparent from the first few
doses.

An Effort 70 Popularlze the Double
Skirt to Be Made.
The reign Of the plain single skirt is
about over. according to the latest
news from France. Berlin and London,
for it would seem that the makers Of
styles in all those centers of fashion
have united, and so whatever they say
now must be true whether it is SO OF
not. That means that whether women
want the new styles or no they must
accept them. Save for the skirts that
were plated or otherwise made less
rigid by judiclously applied trimming
the skirts were more marked by the
fineness Of their finish and cut than
anything, and. although they were
handsome in their severe way. the gen
eral desire has been to have something
a little more graceful. We have that
something now In the new tunic skirt,
which means a double skirt. 1 have
seen four of these which have not yet
been shown to the public here, as they
are now being copied as rapidly as
may be to have something worth while
to show when the spring styles are to
be exhibited. Those four have almost
classic lines, looking somewhat like the
encient Greek peplum, although they
are called tunics these days.
There never was a more graceful
upper or double skirt than the kind
that used to be called SHAWL front"
which now must be understood to
mean that there is a pointed piece Of
cloth hanging down in front to the
foot of the skirt. This is then draped
up to the hips on the sides with two
or three deep, bold folds. This throws
the folds forward and downward so
that they converge just at the end Of
the point The back portion Of this
tunic, we viii call It, is usually laid in
folds to the belt in the back and left
to fall to the bottom of the skirt in
straight lines. This win certainly be a
fayorite way of draping the overskirts.
The one in the illustration is the next
best style and has the overskirt cut
plain around the hips and shorter in
front than in the back. 1t is cut in
a circular form, which gives the folds
a true classic appearance, but let the
stout woman and the very slender one
beware of this tunic. 1t will accentu-
ate every defect But what joy it is
for the woman who can wear It'll The
material for making into either one of
these styles should be soft, pliable and
