AT the last session Of the Legisla-
ture a bill to compel all vehicles to
carry lights at night was defeated
largely due to the efforts Of Senator
Reed and Representative Harry w.
Jester but that was one Of the few
bills of merit that was presented
during the session. In a score of
instances since on the roads of Dela-
ware, its wisdom has been shown in
the year just gone, and in other
parts of Delaware its need is recog-
nized. The Sunday Star recently
expressed its ideas on the subject,
as follows
The bicycle craze Of twenty-five
years ago demonstrated so clearly
the value and necessity of lighted
lamps on moving bicycles at night
that the requirement of light by
night was soon extended in cities
and many boroughs to all other
vehicles. Public hacks were requir-
ed to have their lamps lighted at
night long before this, but this ordi-
nance was not then strictly enforced,
but now in cities moving vehicles
must be lighted at night, a precau-
ton which is beneficial to both
pedestrians and riders.
With the advent of the automo-
bile there never was any question
that it should be lighted at night.
They are lighted brilliantly and daz-
zlingly, many Of them, and they move
in the city and country with bright
glow of light ahead Of them. Other
vehicles, outside Of municipal limits
do not have to carry lights, and
most of them move in darkness. /
This habit makes rural driving at
night a dubious pleasure to all but
the sharpest-eyed. Teams get al
most on top of each other before
either is aware Of the others proxi-
mitv. The driver Of a team on
country road at night can see an
authmobile coming far ahead, but
the driver Of the automobile cannot
see tnat the road ahead is occupied
until he is within a few yards of the
team. 1t is no wonder that there
are occasionionai collisions and al
ways danger of disastrous catas-
trophies from this rural habit Of
travelling under cover of complete
darkness. In olden times it was
the univeral custom for those who
used the highway at night to carry
lights. 1t was not safe to travel any
other way, and the same is true to-
day. The highways are not safe in
the absence of both wayside lights
aud light on moving vehicles. tits
impossible to tell whether the road
ahead is free or obstructed. The re-
ouirement of lighted lamp was not
oppressive to bicycle riders aud will
entail no hardship on the drivers of
other vehicles. It will conduce to
their own safety and peace Of mind.
They can then drive at night feeling
reasonably assured when there is no
light ahead that there is a free road
in their front. Then let there be
light on the dark country roads at
night by the requirement that every
vehicle on the highway shall carry
light that can be distinctly seen
both in front and from behind.

Greatest Muslin
Underwear Sale
ever in Milford.

We purpose to have the largest sale
of muslin underwear ever held in
Milford.
We had the good fortune to receive
three sample lines Of one of the best
if not the very best, manufacturers
of muslin underwear in this country.
This splendid lot of muslin under
wear is now displayed in our Dry
Goods Dept, and Millinery Dept,
where every piece is so conveniently
arranged that you can see and ex-
anime them to your satisfaction.
The prices on some of these hand
some pieces will make you wonder
how we can do it,
There is saving on every piece
from Is per cent. to 40 per cent. and
it plainly shows it.
The Millinery room display is some-
thing great.

WE are not in touch with the di-
recting forces behind the Levy Court
Of Sussex, aud for that reason can
form no opinion as to what its policy
may be as to the appointment Of a
Road Engineer for this county; but,
back of it all should be the purpose
to build up and advance the building
of a road system for Sussex county
which will forever do away with the
old system whereby the monies We're
worse than wasted, and little short
of stolen in many instances. When
the Levy Court is called upon next
Tuesday to elect an engineer, the
first object should be to get a man
of experience, who has the ability
TO organize bureau of roads, as well
as the ability to do the engineering
work. That there will be two men
in each representative district charg-
ed directly with maintaining the
roads and building better roads,
who will have to gather around
them a force of road workers, who
in turn will have to give their en-
tire time for a year to that particu-
lar work. is another point where the
hand of partisan politics may creep in
to detract from the best results hoped
for from the new order of things
But this should not come into the
plan at all. The Republican organ
ization of Sussex county has men
capable of doing this work, and men
who can rise above the petty parti-
san effects possible to be worked
out. and which, if worked out, will
be to the detriment of the party
generally. We hope to see the Re-
publican Levy Court rise to the
situation, and manfully meet the
situation by placing a man as Coun-
ty Road Engineer at the head OF the
new plan, who will be capable Of
surrounding himself with other men
Of character and ability to put into
working order a system of road work

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
II Is An Internal Disease And Requires
An Internal Remedy.


The cause Of Rheumatism and kindred dis
eases is an excess Of uric acid IN the blood To
cure this terrible disease this acid must be ex-
PEELED and the system so regulated that no more
acid will be formed In excessive quantities.
rheumatism is an internal disease and requires
an Internal remedy. Rubbing with Oils and
Liniments will not cure, fiords only temporary
relief at best. causes you to delay the proper
treatment, and allows the malady to get q
frmer hold on you Liniment may ease the
pain. nut they Will no more cure rheumatism
than paint will change the fibre OF rotten wood.

THE attempted escape and shoot
ing of other boys who were making
efforts to recapture the two break
aways from the Ferris Reform
School, has rather effectively smoth-
cred the effect of Mr.. Handy's in
vestigation OF the methods used by
the keepers of that institution, which
was alleged cruelty to the boys under
them. The experience Of the week
Just passed indicates that it requires
a firm and even cruel treatment to
have any restraining effect upon
the worst character Of the inmates
Of this reform institution. In all
our personal experience in visiting
prisons, we have yet to find pris-
oner who was confined for anything
that he was guilty of-accOrding to
their statement-and that they were
very much wronged from their point
of view by being detained there. The
BOYS in the Ferris School are a bad
lot. culled from bad material, and
only practical positive treatment
such as they can understand, and
respect for fear of it, will be effective
in governing them.
