Many of our readers have asked this
department for a preventive of sea
sickness. Nearly all Of our readers
fit from shore to sho-e Of the oceans
or the lakes during the summer, and
most of them have tried lemons and
mustard plasters and smelling salts
and blind faith to no avail Charles

thought to seasickness, its cause and
cure, and has consulted authorities
hither and yon. He has discovered a
method Of avoiding seasickness which
Is said to be infalli5le, and we are
glad to give 1t space for the good ~
all concerned.
Select a large tree, preferably an
elm or a maple with low-hanging
branches. If this is not available, a
lilac or even a gooseberry bush will
suffice. Lie full length I'm a hammock

THE SCREENING QUESTION.

A CCORDING to the statements Of some Of
1 the reputable butchers, who arc in conflict
with the Board of Health over the question Of
screening meat, the entire matter is a difference
Of opinion TO what is protection These butchers
say that the reason they opposed TO the SCREEN
ing provision is that il is Ineffective and that the
fan system offers better protection than the pro-
posed screen doors and glass cases They declare
that the glass cases and screen doors do not pre-
vent the fly pest whereas the revolving fans do so.
They say that they do not mind the inconvenience
and expense to which they will be put, if the
ordinance passes, because some of them have al
ready tried the screening method and they have
found it to be ineffective.
They take exception to The Journals statement
that the reason for their objection is the expense
and inconvenience and we gladly set forth their
reason as given above
According to their statement, it should not be
difficult for the butchers and the Board of Health
TO get together If the contention of the butchers
be correct, they should be able to convince impair
tal men Of the correctness of their position, and
we do not presume that the members Of the Board
of Health are unreasonable.
Evidently the butchers have not been able TO
convince the Board of Health that the butchers
kind of protection is proper

A DELAWARE EXHIRIT

IT is gratifying to note that Delaware is TO have
4 an exhibit of its products at the Madison
Square Garden show TO be held in New York in
November Governor PennewilI and the State
Board of immigration are heartily in favor of the
states being so represented. We have no doubt
that the display will be creditable
Years ago Delaware was famous, agriculturally
speaking, for its peaches and that reputation has
chung to the state in measure although the
peach growing industry is but gaunt skeleton in
Delaware as compared with what it once was. We
trust that the growing of peaches will some day
be revived, but conditions are not very hopeful
at present.
There seems to be no way successfully TO COM
bat the many things that operate against peaches.
But the state is coming 10 the front as apple
producing district, and should let the world
know that fact There is no better opportunity
than the Madison Square Garden show. BY all
means every kind of effort should be made to have
Delaware conspicuous at this show.
We know what advantages we have in an agri-
cultural way in Delaware and we should let the
world know them. If our own people do not ex-
plot these advantages they should do, let us
invite strangers to come here and do So New
blood has a wholesome effect OF the surrounding
farmers. Delaware should do better with fruit and
vegetables and things of that sort than in cuti-
waiting grains in competition with the tremendous
grain farms of the West Our nearness TO the big
city markets would seem to show that we are best
fitted for the raising OF fruits and vegetables and
produce.

RURAL SCHOOL MANAGEMENT.

Milford Chronicle.
If the people of Delaware could BID
brought to realize the real condition of
the management Of their public
schools, they would demand that the|
present laws be Immediately wiped
out and a new method be started al
once, even If the Legislature had I'd
be called I'm extra session so as I'd
make the laws.
Outside the larger towns. and a fowl
of the rural schools. there is a del
plorable lack of knowledge Of either
the management Of school husinessl
or the laws under which It is trans
acted. One-half the schools of the en-
tire State have failed to make proper
returns Of their annual school elec1
lions, and have to be Strengthened out
by the auditor in his settlements with
the clerks. Many have not even a
scratch of pen on the reports, more
have not been signed by the chairman
or secretary of the annual school meet
ing, and the lack of business common
sense in conducting the financial ends
of public school education. are simply
amazing and startling that such con-
ditions should prevail.
II is the fault of the system, and not
the people themselves; for many de-
sire TO have everything pertaining Ia
the conduct of the schools plain and
straightforward Rural consolidation
will solve the problem for the country
school 10 a very large extent; but the
first thing TO be done, is to change The
system of taxation from rental, to &C
tual value, as the way to raise school
money. Then make the county, or al
least the representative district the
unit for school government, and much
more of the trouble will vanish. We
know whereof we speak.

ROAD BUILDING TROUBLES.

Milford Chronicle.
In the final arrangements to prol
vide right-of-way for the proposed new
boulevard through Delaware, therd
seems to be much dissatisfaction, and
criticism has cropped out from various
sources which will have some weight
Every citizen of Delaware desires I'd
have the boulevard built, and at the
very earliest day, but the problems
which have developed In the matter OF
right-Of-way seems to have cooled the
enthusiasm of many who were its mos
staunch advocates. General DUPONT h /,

PAVING WORK
TO COMMENCE
On AUGUST |
If The MONEY is RECEIVED
Paving Contractors Made q
$4,000 Bond Yesterday

Present indications are that work
on paving the streets Of the city IN
accordance with the recent bond is
sue will begin promptly on next
Tuesday, August l.
There is only one thing that may
interfere with the beginning of the
work at that time and that is the
failure to have available the funds
provided for in the bond issue. 1t is
believed, however, that the money
will be here on time.
An error in the engraving of the
bonds made it necessary to have this
part of the work done again, the
bonds having been forwarded direct
to Hambleton & Company, of Balti-
more, so that they might be issued at
that place in careful and accurate
manner. When the bonds are receiv-
ed here and the process of valida-
ton finally concluded the money
guaranteed by them will be available.
The bond of the Creosoted Wood
Block Company, of Gulfport, Miss,
i to whom was awarded the contract
| for the paving of the streets, was re-
ceived here yesterday, so that this
company is ready to begin work as
soon as the funds for paving are fin
ally secured. The bond made by the
paving company is for $4,000.
Paving work will be begun on Lee
and Lamar streets simultaneously, as
these streets are practically ready for
the paving contractors now. All sur
face work and preparations neces>
sary before the commencement If
paving have practically been com
pleted on these two streets, or will
be completed before Tuesday.
Several carloads of material for the
construction of sewers have been re-
ceived here for P J. Curran, of Knox
vile, the contractor who secured the
bid for the construction of this work
Workmen are also ready to take uDI
this labor, so that the work of iu-
stalling sewerage facilities is ready
to begin August 1 with the paving
work. The water improvements, such
as the installation of mains, etc, has
already been begun by the city, sol
that all the work of civic improve
ment contemplated in the recent bond
issues will soon be under way.

v. & 4. LEASE
To BE ACTED
ON At once
Terms ARE Being VIOLATED
Governor Held Conference
With Attorney Hines

Atlanta, Ga, July 27.-Judge J. x.
Hines, special attorney for the rail
road commission, has returned to At
lanta, and was in conference with
Governor Smith at the capital Thurs
day morning.
The allaged violation of the West
ern and Atlantic lease by the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railway as the leasing company, is
said to have been the subject of the
controversation.
Attorney-General Fielder was not
present, but he and Governor Smith
had already discussed the matter,
and it is believed that it will be acted
on shortly.
AS has been previously explained,
the railroad commission, Judge Hines
and Hon. Hewlette A. Hall when he
was attorney general, all concluded
that the leasing company was vio-
lating the terms of the contract by
using Southern classification on
through freight between Atlanta and
Chattanooga instead of using rates
identical with the local rates fixed Oy
the railroad commission.
Governor Brown, however after
holding the matter in allegiance for
six months, sent an opinion to the
railroad commission the day before
his term of office expired, taking the
position that the contract was not be-
ing violated. 1t was in this shape
that the matter came to the attention
of Governor Smith.
