ing Complaints.
You cannot be over-careful in the
selection Of medicine for children.
Only the very gcntlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emer-
gency cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They may cause
gripping, nausea and other distressing
after-effects that are frequently health
destroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy, which
we know. for constipation and associ-
ate bowel disorders. We have such
absolute faith in the virtues Of this
remedy that we sell it on our guar
antee Of money back in every instance
where 1t fails to give entire satisfac-
ton, aud we urge all in need of such
medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like

the show will record an attendance of
over 200, 900 up to its close on Dec

WESTERN FRUIT.

a 7 MEETINGS Of representative fruit grow
n ers in different parts of the east the ques
ton of the supremacy of the east as a fruit pro-
I, ducing country has been discussed as we'll as the
great advance made by the far west. The fact
that handsome apples from Oregon and other Pa-
cHc coast States prepared in the daintiest man
ner come into our markets has started eastern
fruit growers to considering whether they should
not do something 10 hold what are naturally their
own markets
The eastern fruit growers met recently in Wash
ington and organized the Appalachian Fruit
Growers Association. The object of the associa-
ton is 10 urge the fruit growers to produce better
fruit and TO market it at less cost and in better
condition than in the past.
Professor r. L. Lake Of the Agricultural De-
partment told the fruit men that the eastern farm
ers arc close TO the market and have soil well
adapted TO horticulture, but they were allowing
the weSterners to take their own market away
fror them with grade of fruit inferior to that
of = east
other speaker said the appearance of the
ps cage and the inferior grades at the bottom we're
Ia gely the fault of the buyers who contracted for
the fruit on the trees and ordered il
shipped that way Just why the buyers should
want the fruit to present an unattractive appear
ance, especially when it is sold in competition with
the handsome apples of the west, was not ex-
planned. The speaker cannot throw all the blame
for topping" on the buyers When there was
big effort TO boom Delaware apples some time
ago instances we're related of persons in this
part of the State who bought apples at a very
high figure from Kent county and found many
'measly" specimens in the bottom of the barrel.
OF course not all growers in Kent perhaps very
few of them resort TO this kind of rickery but if
few do the whole industry suffers.
Ii is we'll that the eastern growers are awaken
ing 10 the fact that the westerners are alive and
enterprising
They sure TO hold our markets unless cast
ern growers produce as fine fruit and the
same amount of energy that the westerners do to
make their fruit handsome and attractive. After
all il is merely a question of energy and determi-
nation on the part of our growers. for they have
the advantages of natural conditions of the soil
and proximity to the markets. Certainly eastern
growers should be able to command the fruit mar
kets Of the east.

Bar Out the Crowd.

Chester Times.
While President Taft is trying TO
bring about reform in the court pro-
cedure, which he declares is archaic
and barbarous" in the United States,
it might be possible 20 do something
towards that end by holding some OF
the trials in secret. The hearings Of
most Of the divorce cases are i'm Sc
cret. and for the very best reason,
which is one affecting public morals;
and it would seem TO be a good rule
/ 10 apply to a class Of criminal busi-
ness
There would be a great sputtering
about the deprivation Of rights on the
/ part OF certain element which re-
vels in flth aud indecent disclosure.
but that part of every community
which wishes 10 uphold the standard
OF morals would heartily approve
any action the courts might take to
keep the crowd out
One of the sad commentaries upon
the craving for the immoral is the
number of women found at trials
where revelations of unchaste conduct
are 10 be made in the testimony. WHY
should not the bars be put up against
these attendants at such criminal
trials and at the same time keep out
all the men who are not connected
with the case?

DsIMmARv CONDITIONS.

He disclosures regarding the corruption OF
a voters in Adams County, Ohio, have caused
our local evening contemporary to remark that
the conditions are like the conditions which pre-
vail in our own little State of Delaware. We have
the same character and quality of vote buyers
here The buyers in Adams county, according to
the chairman Of one of the committees, are made
up of ministers, lawyers, business men, farmers,
teachers, aborers-in fact all kinds Of men,
We do not think that the conditions in Adams
county, Ohio, are similar TO those in Delaware.
Certainly there is not in Delaware to-day such
wholesale corruption Of voters as would make il
difficult for the court secure Grand Jury with
out placing the corrupted or the corruptionists on
the panel And not during the infamous days
when corruption ran riot in some parts Of Della
ware was the condition so base as that depicted
in Adams county, Ohio in some the townships of
which practically every voter admitted that he had
sold his vote. The buying Of votes in Delaware
has been confined to a few disreputable persons
in each district and many of the best citizens"
who really the best citizens, even in the low
er counties, refused TO take active part in politics
because Of the debauchery practiced. They would
not soil their hands. How many ministers or So
called ministers in Delaware have bought votes?
Surely not many. II condition existed in Della
ware to-day such that which prevails in the
Ohio county, respectable men, or those who try to
be respectable would despair Of the future of the
State. II may have been bad in Delaware, but
there is no use in eXaggerating the facts.

ine high tax rate, higher we believe than in
most other cities of the size if We include the
county and city tax rate. and it is felt that the
city is not getting the worth OF the money gathered
from the taxpayers
AND it is also said that Wilmington has stood
still IN the growth of its population as compared
with some other cties-Reading and Trenton for
example Neither of these cities has the natural
advantages of Wilmington with its splendid rail-
way and water facilities and its advantages for
manufacturing purposes which Mr.. Higgins so
graphically pointed out.
Wilmington should push forward more rapidly
than it has done Are our taxes so high that out

Is system OF taxation responsible for the fail

should do?

there being more people in Rhode Island than in

has a population of sos per square mile com

Tor Cleveland. He knew who they

Even in States where there is supposed TO be

icult TO get large vote on referendum. Only
about two-hfths of the women Of Spokane, Wash
took the trouble to 60 TO the polls to cast their
ballots on the question of commission form of
government for the city. The dispatches do not
say what proportion of the men took part in the
election, but judging by the total number of bal
lots there was considerable number of stay-at-
homes. The personal element still enters largely
into politics and there must be candidates on a
ticket in order TO get out anything like full vote
