MAY ELECTRTFY
PENNSY LINES
That From Philadelphia to
Wilmington in Project
Considered

A Philadelphia enwspaper says: The
electrihcation Of the suburban lines OF
the Pennsylvania road, so far as Phil
adelphia is concerned, has gone no
farther than TO secure bids from the
big electrical supply firms and the
figures thus submitted were declared
yesterday to have little attraction at
this time for the operating heads OF
the company.
There have been persistent rumors
current OF late that the Pennsy con-
templated an early electrihcation Of
its Baltimore Central branch. This
was denied yesterday by vice prcsi-
dent of the company. who stated that
any electrihcation of the lines would
take in the Baltimore Central to West
Chester, the Philadelphia. Baltimore
e. Washington to Wilmington, the
Main Line to pauii and the New York
division to Bristol. To electrify on SO
extensive a scale would involve a
very large expenditure which tie
company was not prepared to provide,
and he questioned very much ii the
project would be undertaken for some
years
Another official said that in line
with the company's policy Of reduc-
ing operating expenses wherever pos
sible, this question was being consid-
cred, but he doubted very much II any
thing would come of it in the very
near future The electrical compan-
les, he said. were very anxious that
the work should be undertaken, as
Il meant large contracts for them. The
company, he said. agreed TO receive
tentative estimates as to the cost OF
the work, and such estimates had been
presented from time to time. The fg-
ures so far presented, he said did not
appeal to the president and other Of
ficials Of the company.

II You Are Fat and
Hot Read This Article

There is no necessity Of fat peopie
suffering as they do Most fat people
are so good-natured they do not care
how they look or how they get along
during the hot weather. AS a matter
of fact there is a natural fat reducer
that in the past several years has
been demonstrating that it will reduce
fat and not tear down the body or
leave big. flabby rolls of skin and
wrinkles. This method is the famous
Marmola prescription. which is now
prepared in tablet form to meet tho
demands of fat people in the suurmer
and to enable them at all times to
take their fat reducer after each meal
One of these little tablets taken after
a meal turns that meal into good food
for the blood and stops all fat-pro-
/ ducing elements from going into the
system. Marmola Tablets has an
army of men and women who testify
to its success, and you would tire
reading what they say of its triumphs-
/ Marmola tablets not only stop pro-
ducing fat In the body but they reduce
flesh at the rate of from y 10 10
| ounces a day. They are harmless ana
do nothing but assist nature 70 give
10 the body the nourishment It re-.
ouires. They are sold at all drug
stores, price rs cents. OF you may

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Wilmington People Know
How To Save IL.


Many Wilmington people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and i'll health, but there is no need to
suffer nor to remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and pains due
to weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a VIII
mington citizens recommendation.
Mrs. J. L. Stradley, 31S r. Seventh
street, Wilmington, Del. says. Il
never used aremedy that brought such
great benefit as Doans Kidney Pills.
Last fall / was considerably troubled
by attacks of lumbago and / was
firmly convinced that my kidneys
were out of order. heard many peo-
pie speak highly of Doan's Kidney
Pills and / finally made up my mind
to try them. procured a box at

fidence in the merit of Doan's Kidney

SOME ADVICE
TO WOMEN

The woman who takes as her life
motto, do 1t at once" is the woman
who is not bounded by an accusing
conscience. The modern prayer for
forgiveness is chiefly for things we
have not done.
The only time one is sure Of is the
present; putting off to some more con-
venient moment is to lay up a reputa-
\ nOn for rudeness or slovecliness.
The woman who believes that to
apologizeis to accuse will rarely have
to back water on her belief If she
gets into the do-it-at-once habit.
Do it at once is but another name
for the little drops of water precept
Of childhood. The mighty ocean" OF
accumulated duties will never swamp
you If each wave is breasted at il
comes.
Doing it at once is like oiling a dusty
pike. II smoothes the path of lite
and smooths complaint and critic
ism.
Much of the fret and nerve racking
comes from postponing the things that
might just as we'll be cleared of at
once. One is worried until they are
done and more worried if they are
not done.
The girl who sews the first rip never
has to take a day off for her mend
ing.
The girl who answers her invita-
tions the minute she gets them never
| will be mortified by being called VI
over the telephone to know if she is
coming
The woman who sends her checks
/ as soon as she gets her bills, who re-
turns her obligation calls within a
week, who gets of her gifts to a bride
the day the cards come, who answers
her letter Immediately, never has tC
work the excuse OF forgetfulness over
/ time.

BARN BURNED;
AUTO CONSUMED

The barn of DR.. 7. T. Kalbach. at
Village Green, was burned Monday
night and a fine automobile, a runa-
bout used by the doctor in his prac-
tice through that part of the coun-
try, was so badly damaged that it will
be necessary to purchase another.
The blaze was so fierce at times
that II was feared the heat and sparks
might ignite other buildings, a tenant
house and the doctors residence, near.
and water was kept upon them by a
bucket brigade.
While an auto spark may have caus-
ed the trouble, others believe lightning
during the storm was the real factor
in the fire, though no satisfactory ex.
PLANTATION can be given of the ignition
of the barn, which was a substantial
though not a ponderous. affair. bu

POLITE FASTENING
OF LONG STAYERs


The etiquette editor Of an exchange
is asked the question. rs there any
polite way of expediting the departure
of a caller who has not learned the
art of saying Goodbye"
Surely, an inquirer who can put
the question so delicately as that
should not lack the ability TO promote
the departure without seeming to. But
he given no rule to go by, and there
is none that does not involve a touch
of rudeness, perhaps.
The only real answer is that the
hostess must nit be so entertaining
and interesting. This is the trouble
in most cases. She makes it so hap
py for the caller that he latter stays
and stays, and is actually made to
feel that, after all, her presence is
highly appreciated.
OF course, the hostess is too much
of a lady to seem otherwise, and her
attraction never losses anything, II
candor is made a part of it, which in
telligence will always discern and ad-
mire And if the hostess has bread
a-baking or a call at the milliner's
due at that hour, and does not say
so, she discredits her caller and puts
a discount on her good sense.

WANT GAME

ANN ARBOR, Nov. Disappointed
at not being able to see the Michigan
team in action but three times this
season on the home field. the students
OF the university are clamoring for a
fourth game TO be played the next
week after the contest with Mime
sofa. The failure OF the Notre Dame
game prevented them from witnessing
more than one game with big col
lege team. and they are anxious for
an extra game at the end OF the regu'
lar season.
The authorities are inclined 10 look
upon tn eidea with favor, but do not
know OF any school that could be
scheduled at this late date. Most col
leges outside OF the conference con-
tinue their seasons until after Thanks
giving, and as they play a large num-
Der OF games, are nearly worn out.
There is no possible chance OF the
Wolverines securing a game with any
of the conference nine" as the rele-
tons between Michigan and that body
have been strained since Michigan de-
serted. A contest with some eastern
school would be the ideal way oil
handling the scheme but there would
be several difficulties in that PROPOSE
ton. Besides the fact that the east
ern schools have long seasons they
have never been anxious to play Mich
igan, and IL is unlikely that they would
be eager 70 play the westerners after
the close Of the season.

FINE SHAPE

CHICAGO. Nov. Coach Stage
today started his hicago Maroons on
a week OF the hardest kind of prac'
tice 10 prepare them for the Cornell
game at Ithaca, next Saturday. Con-
sidering that the Maroons have lost
mots OF their games with the confer
ence and western teams, a victory
over an eastern school would sooth
somewhat the injured feeling OF the
Maroon followers.
For the past two years Chicago and
Cornell have played tie games and
IL is certain that the game next Sat
urday will be far from parlor enter
tainment, as both squads are more
than anxious OF landing on the win
ming side.
Chicago came out OF the Purdue
game, Saturday, In fine shape and will
be strengthened by the return OF
Eberle Wilson, quarterback before
the Cornell contest. According to
present plans the team will probably
leave here Thursday for the east.
