These should always be slightly

not keep their appearance any time

for some time before ironing. Those
made OF thicker material may be
slightly dried and then rolled up.
When ironing aprons always COM
mence with the embroidery, pulling 1t
out well and ironing very carefully.
The rest Of the apron Is, as a rule,
very simple to iron. Always keep the
top of the apron at your left-hand side
and iron the material single when pos

Cheerfulness and Mirth.

cheerfulness fixed and permanent.
Those are often raised into the treat.
est transports Of mirth who are sub
ject to the greatest depressions Of mel

though it does not give the mind such
exquisite gladness. prevents us from

Mirth is like fash Of lightning that

ALL HAIL THE FOOD TaeLETsl
NO Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
49,. No Household Drudsery.

How would you like to throw away
all your kitchen utensils and most of
the dishes; send your -four, meats,
spices and other pantry stuff to a
charitable association; turn the kitch-
en- into den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto coy corner and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form
It's long question and it isn't abso-
lutely new, but it comes in for consid-
Grafton in connection with the recent
discussion of How to Get Rid of
Household Drudgery," says the Kan
sas City Times.
The suggestion was made in good
talth by woman who believes in the
system. She advocates it without re-
gard to the fact thar such plan Of
near eating" would rob life of its
dearest privilege, that of gazing Oh
and devouring the luscious roasts and
broils that competent cooks prepare.
to say nothing Of potatoes mashed,
mashed or Drowned with butter and
Sravy.and pumpkin pic.
This is no jest" the writer of the
essay says. 1T has been my dream
10 the problems of housekeeping, only
one way TO escape the ills that come
from unwisc eating. Do. away with
the kitchen and pantry, live on fresh
fruits, nuts and condensed foods in
tablet form. Have a refrigerator or,
better still, cold storage room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
fruits chilled. An ornamental jar or
cabinet will hold enough tablets to
feed a family for a week or more.
Think OF the time saved that might
be devoted to reading or outdoor exer-
else! And with the money saved we
could buy motor cars or electric car
riages."
Think of the saving of time and
energy, too! No more luncheons to
put up in newspapers every morning
for the children and father. A tablet
or two In their pockets and possibly a
nut for dessert and away they go to
the Office. Can you see fathers face
when he comes home at night, tired
and cross, the children romping in
from school with cold little noses and
empty stomachs, ready to grow rap
turous over plump, fat chicken or a
pan OF Irish stew and hot biscuits?
Can you see the faces Of the children
light up with JOY when you point one
hnger at the tablet Jar and 60 on with
your Browning or Emerson? No
dishes to wash, no scraps to throw
away-nothing to do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits. tablets and nuts.

CIVIC BEAUTY.

LEVELAND, o., has an eye to municipal
- beauty along with its civic progress. One
of the big railroad companies is 10 build bridges
at grade crossings and the municipal authorities
have decided that the more prominent Of the
bridges should be ornamental as we'll as useful
The railroad company at first ignored the views
OF the authorities and proceeded to draw up plans
for one prominent bridge which would be more
suitable for a stock yard than for one OF the
most prominent places OF the city.
The Cleveland director of the streets promptly
rejected the plans and said few things to the
railroad company which caused the managers to
stop look and listen
The managers concluded that it would not be
wise to get into a conflict with the city authorities
and they haye announced that they shall meet the
city half way.
Thus the effort Of Cleveland TO abolish and to
prevent eyesores is bearing fruit and Cleveland is
setting an example which other cities would do
we'll to follow.
Speaking of the beautiful in connection with
the useful, many persons have commented favor
ably about the electric light posts on exhibition
in front of the Office Of the Wilmington and Phil
adelphia Companys Office on Market street and
express the opinion that such lights on Market
street would be a distinct addition to the appear
ance of that thoroughfare. Nothing more favor
ably impresses strangers than Improvements of
this kind.

NEW CITY CHARTER.

- HE notion that we need new city charter in
i Wilmington is fast taking root. 1t is en-
couraRing 70 soc that number OF welEknown
and capable citizens have formed an association
for the purpose of securing new city cnarter'
They have begun In time to have something DEN
mite to present 20 the Legislature, and as the Re
publican State Convention was committed 10
new charter for Wilmington such an instrument
must be passed by the General Assembly
The only thing necessary 20 bring this about is
good and conscientious work such as those who
are associated with the movement are capable OF
doing.
Partisan municipal government is admitted in
most instances to be very unsatisfactory. city
should be managed as a big industrial corporation
is conducted. The people should get the worth
of their money. There is a heavy debt against
Wilmington and the feeling has been rife that
we have not sufficient improvements to show for
it,
The time has surely come when the business
men Of this city should make their influence felt
and demand that charter shall be enacted purely
in the interests Of business-ke administration
OF ffc,affsFs of the city. The city should not be
made the football of political interests.
The Democrats entered the last municipal CAM
paign with profuse promises for better things
and loud in their denunciation of Republican man
agement of the city affairs. And yet the Demo-
cratic City Administration has not been satisfac-
tory, even TO those who supported the Democratic
ticket and professed TO believe that the Democrats
would give the city model administration or
something like that.
But the Democratic council has blundered and
shown, especially in the playground purchase that
the members we're not keenly alive to the best in
terests of the city. Not only that but some men
holding positions under the Democratic city gov
ernment have seen the limitations imposed by par
tisan government and are eager for reform meas
ures These men have been anxious TO perform
their duties as they them, but have been ham
pered by the vicious system of playing politics"
in municipal government.
The movement for a new city charter should
be encouraged by those who wish TO see Whining
ton go forward faster than II has gone during the
last decade. We do not say that a new city char
Ter would remedy all the ills we have suffered
under, but il would be potent force in helping
Wilmington 10 travel more rapidly the path of
municipal progress Doubtless out Of the move
nent begun by these citizens, whether it should
take the form of advocating a commission scheme
of government or not, will come something tan.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY.

r. OW thankful we should be to DR.. Harvey w.
n = Wiley, the government microbe expert, for
hosting the flag Of truce and telling us that
can, eat our Thanksgiving turkey in peace with
the only exception that we should avoid the cold
storage turkey.
Whether the cold storage gobbler is numerous
this year or not he does not say and the exception
may cause some folk trouble. How are they to
tell the real thing if they determined to follow
the advice of the doctor? But il is a satisfaction
to know that the doctor intmates that can run
the risk of eating turkey for one day without dis
astrous consequences on the day following
The doctor has been great" on germs and warm
ings and all that, but doubt very much whether
many people who had prospect Of getting a
Thanksgiving turkey we're wondering whether DR..
Wiley would give them permission to eat without
fear or trepdation.
AS a matter OF fact we suspect that the people
do not pay much attention to DR. Wiley and his
germ theories They are all right to be sure but
the people are rather slow and conservative. They
may think that their ancestors ate simply turkey
and didn't bother about the germs. They will
think most of them, that what was good enough
for their ancestors on Thanksgiving day years ago
is good enough to-day. At any rate, let the
Thanksgiving day turkey be enjoyed.
We trust that all our friends including Candidate
White who is contesting, will enjoy their feast OF
turkey, forget politics for day or an hour at
least for we imagine that there will be no turkey
on the congressional platter for Mr.. White when
that congressional contest is begun, if it ever is
begun.

ELECTION CONTESTS.

T is A great pity that after the election poll
4 tics should not be dropped for while. con-
test is proposed for the seat of Congressman
Head, who elected by majority of more
than 200O and on the other hand there are re-
ports that the seats of some Democratic members
of the Legislature will be contested.
How does all this benefit the State? Would it
stop the cries about fraud and corruption and
would it do anything except arouse and intensity
partisan feeling for the benefit of a very few?
The great mass of the people of Delaware are
not concerned particularly in the political for
