WASHINGTON ST.
BRIDGE WORK
History Of How Democratic
Levy Court Used 1t as Pre-
text to Get Ready Money
BORROWED $4,000
BY BOND ISSUES

Cos siderable has been heard recently
of the nod old times when the coun-
ty finance were handled by the Demo-
cratic Levy Court from 1898 to 1901 Eff
forts have been made to color the man
ner in which money was handled for
the Washington street bridge. AS
some persons memories have become
dimmed it is not out of place to re-
view this bridge affair.
Under the twelve member Levy Court
the bids were opened September 6, 1892,
and on September %, 1892, the Delaware
Construction Company was awarded
the contract and bonded for $4,000. The
work was commenced by the Repubh-
cans in the late fall of that year. Work
progressed to such an extent that the
Republican Levy Court paid $4,000 on
account Of the contract as we'll as $500
fees to the engineer in charge.
Then under an custer act of the Legis-
lature, when the twelve members were
succeeded by a commission of five; the

Deep Breathing.

Deep Breathing.
Equally as important as the morn

which should be practiced for a few
minutes daily. These exercises per-

with the windows flung wide. Stand
perfectly relaxed, the arms hanging
limp and the head and chest erect. In
hale slowly and deeply through the
nose until the abdomen is distended.
Continue to inhale until tho air floods
the lungs. You will note that the alb
domen is now contracted and the chest
widened. You will feel the breathing
in the back muscles as we'll as the
chest muscles. Hold the breath for a
few seconds, then slowly exhale through
the nose.
Another simple movement to complete
the morning series is: Swing the
arms round the shoulder joints. A

Democrats being in control, there was
still needed by the report Of the Demo-
cratic Levy Court, January IS, 1898,
to complete the bridge, $521OO. Then
it was that the emoDcratic Legislature
passed an act authorizing this Demo-
cratic Levy Court to borrow on bonds
100000 to pay off So. 100. What became
Of the s47.sOO?
But to make things a little better in
the good old days the same Democrats
hoated bonds for 100000. The tax rate
remained at sixty cents and the Demo-
Gratis later made another bond issue, of
s15O,OOO. So witn~the $4,000 for float
ing debt and the bridge money the
Democratic Levy Court had consider
able money at their disposal.
But when the people became tired Of
such handling OF the money Of the
county and the Republicans came in in
1901, what was found. An empty treas
ury, $4,000 In bills to meet and the
salaries could not be paid. The Re-
publicans had duty 10 perform ana IL
was to redeem the county. They bor-
rowed money TO pay the salaries, in
cluding the Court House officials, bridge
tenders. &C. The Adams tax was re-
funded to the people who paid it and
S21. 1902 went to the people from whom
the Democrats collected and spent the
money. The treasury soon began TO
have a neat sum ready TO meet obli-
cations and then to meet the demand
OF the people. over S1S6,0O0 was spent
for building good roads In the county
The tax payer had a low tax rate. and
so 1t can be seen the people have a
reason for being satisfied with a Re-
publican administration in New Cas-
tie county. With good roads in all
sections being built and more being
contemplated. a snug sum in the coun-
" treasury the taxpayers can see the
beneficial results of a Republican ad-
ministration.

ODDS AND ENDS
SELECTION OF FOODS

It is a great mistake to imagine that
because certain foods have agreed with
you In the past they are always going
to do So At different ages the same
foods have different effects, so that Of
ten what we eat when we are children
does not agree with us when we are
old.
For instance. milk. which is the ideal
food for a young child. and on which 1t
lives as baby, is perfectly inadequate
if taken alone by an older person. You
should therefore take other food besides
or you viii never grow strong and well.
Milk also IS often far too heavy and
bilious to be drunk by adults. II is
apt to be indigestible, particularly If
taken cold, and is too rich for many
people. but if a scant tablespoonful of
limewater is mixed with each glass of
milk, and it is drunk slowly it can be
taken with impunity by nearly every
body.

EI.otrio Water For Face Massage.

Instead of using hot cloths or stream
10 get the face into condition for mas
saging. the latest idea is to use water
charged with electricity.
The water is applied through
spongelike substance at the end of two
tubes attached to an electric wire or
battery. The instrument is so con-
structed that surplus moisture is car
ried off in one of the pipes.
The advocates of this method say
there is no danger Of too much relax
ing of the muscles as in the case with
steam. and the heat is so regulated
that there is no danger Of scaldinS the
skin as with hot cloths.
