The Assistant Adjutant Generals
Report shows that one Post was
delinquent, and since the close of
the year 1907 one Post has been
organized at ST. George, Georgia.
This new Post will in all probabil-
ity be the last Post ever organized
in this Department, as there are
no new fields to recruit from. AS
we did not have the honor of or
ganizing the FIRST POST, we will
probably have the honor of insti-
tuting the LAST POST organized in
the whole country.
During this last year the Ladies
of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, have built a fine Memorial
Hall at the Andersonville Gene
terry, which can be used for Me
mortal Services in case of stormy
weather and for place of shelter
for those attending Memorial Ex-
ercises at that Cemetery. The
building is of artificial stone with
a tile floor.
The gains and losses for the year
are shown in the report of the AS
sistant Adjutant General, to which
/ refer you. But | am sorry to
say that we have not gained as
much as / expected to. but l think
we ought to be able, for some years
yet, to hold our number up to its
present strength, as there are yet
quite number of the Comrades
living in this Department who are
not members of the Grand Army
of the Republic, but who ought to
be, for every man who wore the
blue should have his membership
in the best Order on Earth. The
Womens' Relief Corps are always
ready to give, will not say, old
Boys, but will say Comrades, for
those who saw the Boys at Sarato-
ga would not think the time had
come to call us ''old," but let it be
young or old, the splendid showing
I the w. r. G. made at Saratoga is
proof that they can always be re
lied upon for aid and sympathy

The Passing of the French.

The population of France, whose
thirty millions formed the most nu.
merous national monolingual group
in Europe at the opening of the last
century, has increased only twenty
six per cent. during the past 100
years, as against England's $50 per
cent, and Americas 1900 per cent.
The total population of France is
now 38,350,788. The female sex ex-
, ceeds the male In number, the figures
being, respectively, 19,533,S99 and
18,S16,SS9. On the other hand, an
excess in the number of unmarried is
shown on the masculine side, the re-
spective figures being 9,917,17S and
9,114,356. There are 2,384,897
widows and divorced women, as
against 1,O05,8S4 widowers and di-
vorced men.
The number of French families is
9,781,117, of which 1,314,773 are
without children; 2,249,337 have but
one child; 2,01S,665 have two;
1,246,264 have three; 74S,S41 have
four; 429,799 have FIVE; 248,159
have six; 13S,769 have seven; 71,S41
have eight, and 39,917 have nine chill.
dren. These figures continue to rep
sent in rapidly decreasing proper
ton the number of families having a
larger number of children. Upon
comparing the groups of figures II
will be perceived that for about two
thirds of the families of France the
average number of children does not
exceed three; while for about one
and one-half per cent. of them the
average number is seven; and for
less than one per cent. of the same,
eight children. Twenty-four families
are recorded, however. as possessing
seventeen. and thirty-four as possess.

An Exploded Myth.

The following question and answer
are from the New York Sun:
Where A subscribes to a periodi-
cal for year and pays for one year
and after the expiration of the year
the periodical continues to be re-
ceived and A does not communicate
with the publishers with reference
to the continued receipt of the peri
odical, which has not been ordered, is

Such statement was very fire.
quently printed among the business
announcements of many periodicals
some years ago, and in default of any
law establishing such a prescription
1t was commonly credited to some
postal regulation. Eventually the
postal authorities denied the respon-
sibility and the claim was left with
out leg to stand on. A person who
subscribes and pays for one year OF
any publication is no more charge
able with any issues of the next year
than he would be required to pay for
thirteenth egg simply because he
had bought dozen.

TO HAVE DISPOSAL PLANT.

Norristown Especially - Some of
the Norristown borough authorities
declared that they claim the right to
feel aggrieved at the attitude main
tained by State Health Commissioner
DR.. Samuel G.. Dixon and his employ
ees toward this borough with refer
ence to the pollution of the Schuyl-
Kill River, as affecting Philadelphia's
water supply. 1t is explained for the
borough's continued use of the river
as the receptacle for its sewage that
Norristown has been for years pre-
pairing to otherwise make disposal,
a matter that cannot be arranged in
a few days or months.
In behalf of the town It is shown
that its recently constructed trunk
line sewer carries all its sewage to
the lowest point of the town, where
ground for a filtration plant has al
ready been acquired. This purchase
was made known for the first time
Thursday as it had to be made secret
ly so that the sellers of the land
would not become aware of its intend
ed purpose.
In explaining the delay in estab-
fishing disposal plant, a Norristown
Councilman uses some very significant
words. He says on this line that not
until few months ago was a practi-
cable and reasonable disposal plant
as to cost found by the local authori-
ties, numbers that were inspected be-
ing costly beyond limit in original
outlay as well as in operating ex-
penses. The city of Readings new
plant proves so reasonable in these
respects that the same system is al
ready planned here.
1t is no longer a secret that the
money appropriated by Town Coun-
ell by recent ordinance to park pur-
poses was intended to furnish part
Of what was needed for sewage dis
posal plant, and the subject is likely
to be decided on this summer.

Laundry Notes.

Javelle Water For Removal Of
Stains.---One of the best chemical re-
agents to be used in the laundry and
for cleaning purposes generally is ia
velle water. It can be very easily
made at home II the following direc-
tions are carefully followed, and is
not In the least expensive:
How Made.-Dissolve one pound of
washing soda in an agate kettle or
stone jar, in quart of boiling wat
er. Dissolve one-half pound of chlo-
ride of lime in two quarts Of cold
water. When the dissolved portion
has settled, carefully pour the clear
liquid into the dissolved soda. Bot
tie and keep in a cool, dark place.
Kinds of Stains.-Stains which
bother in the laundry are of three
kinds, 1. e., those caused by vegetable
growth, those from actual chemical
compounds, and those caused by a
deposit of small, solid particles.
Mildew is perhaps the stain which
puzzles the housekeeper the most. 1t
is the most common type caused by
vegetable growth. When this stain
is examined under the microscope one
can see a network of tiny tendrils
which cannot be seen without the aid
OF the microscope. On the ends of
some of these tendrils can be seen
small cup-shaped organs which hold
small seeds or spores, which scatter
over the cloth and start new plants.
This Is the way the mildew stains
spread all through a garment. These
little tendrils will, if given time, find
their way through many layers eof
the material
Oxygen will destroy the mildew
plant, but 1t will thrive in a damp,
warm place. To remove mildew
from a garment first give it a thor
ough airing and then place in boiling
water. After it has been placed in
boiling water, the character of the
stain is changed and 1t is now a chem
ical compound, for the mold has pro.
duced dye. A bleaching process
has to be resorted to now to remove
the stain. Soak the garment In equal
quantities of hot water and javelle
water until the stain disappears;
thoroughly rinse in three waters;
then rinse in water to which little
ammonia has been added.
In most all processes of bleaching
an acid is formed which will weaken
the fibers of the cloth and, If very
strong, will destroy them, unless
quickly neutralized by an alkali. Am.
monia or washing soda solution are
the best to use for this purpose

To Roast a Chicken.

II roasting in the oven stand the
fowl on a trivet in the roasting tin,
so that the fat may run down from it.
Never let a roast lie in fat. as It
makes 1t sodden and greasy. A
chicken will take from half an hour
to three-quarters OF an hour. When
the fowl is ready, lift 1t onto a hot
dish, remove any string or paper, and
pour away any grease there may be.
If gravy is wished to serve with 1t,
pour away all the fat from the roast
ing tin, and pour into it a little good
stock or beef tea. Stir over the fire
until 1t boils, rubbing down into 1t
any browning from the tin, season
nicely and pour round the fowl. II
liked thick the gravy may be thick
ened by browning little -four in the
tin before pouring in the stock, but
for an invalid 1t is more wholesome
