Editorial
Opinion
Hand .WashIna Crusade.


New York Press.
Civilized man touches a hundred things
with his hands to every ono with any
other part Of his body Literally he sticks
the former into everything It follows. as
DR. Eccles points out in tho Dietetic and
Hygienic Gazette that hands probably play
a very important part in the spread Of dis
ease. From this the further corollary may
be drawn that washing the hands is a. san
itary process OF great Importance It. af-
fords an imperfect but partial disinfec-
tion.
Pretty much everything touched by the
hands may be infected--money. news
papers. books. street car straps, restaurant
knives and forks and tumblers, other peo-
ple's hands. door handles. public pens and
pencils. and so on ad lnhnitum. Every one
Of these touches may, and some of them
certainly do. result I'm a transfer OF germs
Fortunately most of the newcomers Will
be harmless. but occasionally a "batch'
arrives analogous to the blackhanders,
and II they find any cut or minute abra-
sion OF the skin, or II the imbecile care
lessness of their host rubs them into his
eyes or mouth the possibility Of a death,
or at the least an expensive illness in the
latters family, becomes imminent.
Therefore, says Dr. Eccles, wash your
hands as often as opportunity offers You
can't overdo It. Clean hands are Of far
more Importance hygienically than aes-
thetically; washing them after handling
some dangerously infected object may
save your own or some one else's life. As
you have no way OF distinguishing infect
ed from uninfected things-bank notes, for
instance-the hands should always be
washed as a matter of routine before they
are carried to the eyes or lips.
What DIR. Eccles would like to see adopt
cd is antiseptic hand washing involving
the routine use Of some fairly strong ger
micide. This is a counsel Of perfection that
cannot be hoped for. A more frequent use
OF soap and water will be boon enough
for a first step. Tho Medical Record
agrees with Dr. Eccles as TO the neces-
slty for a hand-washing crusade.

DEEDS, NOT WORDS

Wilmington People Have Absolute
Proof Of Deeds at Home.
It's not words but deeds that prove
true merit.
The deeds Of Doan's Kidney Pills,
For Wilmington kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of will
mington people who have been cured
to stay cured.
James E. Adams, 403 Madison ST.,
Wilmington. Del. says: when 1 be-
gan taking Doan's Kidney Pills over
ten years ago. was suffering severely
from backache which was particularly
acute after I had done a hard DAYS
work. My back pained me intensely at
night and ] could not find any posi-
ton that was comfortable. In the
morning when I arose, I felt stiff aud
lame and for some time it was all I
could do to get about. I procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Danforth's
drug store and they cured me com
pletely. From that day 20 this there
has been no return OF the trouble"

NO FAILURE OF THE MELON CROP.

NO FAILURE OF THE MELON CROP.
TOR some time past presidents and managers
l. of mighty railroad corporations have been
expressing fears that their business was going
to rack and ruin. Shall we not end in the poor
house if President Taft and demagogic legisat-
ors interfere with us and force TO stop re-
batting and determinations? What right has the
government to bother us? And solemn newspa-
!, pers have uttered the same views. Here in Will
Nifi5ngs we have heard them.
lN.ng7es to be increased? 1t cannot be. The
s.rsss have not been making any money.
1aey are Just hobbling along.
Well, we'll, we'll. That may be true elsewhere,
at Kalamazoo at the North Pole but how about
Deaware' What glorious volume of money
the Delaware Railroad Company has been earn
ing If there is to be any cutting OF melons,
the Delaware Railroad Company will have a
whole patch full of luscious melons TO cut up
and in fact, there seems TO be some dispute over
the cutting. Earnings OF almost $4,000 are
rather good for the Delaware Railroad Com
pany. Delaware and the peninsula contributed
most of the earnings, we imagine, and then the
through freight business piled up the money
nightly. But il is all scor 4 10 in favor of the
Delaware Railroad Company.
Now if those who manage the Delaware Rail
road Company MIR. Whitney and others, were
put in charge of a railroad i'll densely-popu-
lated country. with larger towns than Delaware
has what in the world would happen? With
make the lveliest gold mine, Tonopah in its
best days, seem like corner grocery store as
producer of wealth
The Delaware Railroad Company has proved
a most profitable investment for the Pennsyl-
vania In view of the showing we hardly be-
leve that the controllers of this fine property
could offer any serious objections if various Del
aware towns should ask Tor improved stations
and better facties-even If the farmers should
kick little about the freight rates. If Dover,
and Milford. and Milton should persist III their
requests for new station, If Smyrna should ask
for clock in its station that the residents
could have railroad time, we do not think the
"Pennsy' could show very grave frown IN
opposition.
The Delaware Railroad Company is certain
w highly prosperous We imagine that the
railroad men will line up in the next Legislature
lust as they have in the past and that if any
demagogue pokes his nose in suggesting that
the company's taxes be increased in any drec-
ton the plea of Lazarus-like poverty will be
put forth without a smile.

A BELOVED PHYSICIAN.

ID ROBABLY no physician in Delaware had
i a wider acquaintance or a larger practice
among rural folk than DR.. Joseph II. Chandler,
who passed away last night. His name was truly
a household word He was a physician and
counsellor, for fifty years a professional visitor
to the home of hundreds Many men and their
children and their children's children have
known him as their DOCTOR the "od-fashioned'
all-round physician, the physician whose know
ledge and skill comes largely from actual con-
tact with disease II is needless to add that he
was highly respected. Everyone knows that
fact
Before he moved to this city he lived in de-
lghtful home at Centreville, home that was
the social center of that community a home
fanei for "a he'i1gs of physicians, noted pro-
fessors and others, and a home where his many
friends were welcome.
DR.. Chandler was a man of strong mind,
straightforward in his views a man of his word
How well this was manifested when he was
nominated by wing Of the Republican party for
Governor Of the state with the understanding, as
he thought and as nearly every one else thought
that he was to remain on the ticket He had
given his word that if nominated he would STAY
On the ticket and he was not to be moved around

word. The discreditsble manner in which he
