The use of spirits in the treatment
of rheumatism has proved an innoya-
tion among the medical profession.
When mixed with certain other in
gradients and taken properly it is said
to be an almost infallible cure for
rheumatism and back-ache. Here is
the formula. From your druggist get
one ounce of Torris compound (in
original sealed package) and one
ounce Of syrup of Sarsaparilla COM
pound Take these two ingredients
home and put them into half pint Of
good whiskey. Shake the bottle and
take tablespoonful before each meal
and at bedtime" Results come i'm
mediAtely If your druggist does
not have TJris compound in stock he
will get it in a few hours from his
wholesale house. Don't be influenced
to take some patent medicine instead
Of this Insist on having the genuine
TOris compound in the original one
ounce sealed yellow package.

ROAD SYSTEM.
Milford Chronicle.

Milford Chronicle.
The road system of Delaware,
especially in the two lower counties,
is full of rottenness, it is wasteful,
as every taxpayer will admit, and
yet there is no systematic effort
made to bring about any change. Tho
people Of Sussex and Kent county
see each year fully thirty thousand
dollars of their money expended in
so-called road repairs, in so-called
good road building. and IN personal
effort TO do special work for their
own interest by the so-called super
visors of roads. The people sec this
every year. and there has so far been
enough influence brought TO bear
upon the legislatures by the petty
officials C. the two levy courts, 20
prevent the enactment of such laws
as will bring reform and practical
business results to the people by
wip'ng away the present road laws,
under which there is wastefulness,
if nothing more serious to charge. If
a commission of five were to replace
the present levy courts Of Kent and
Sussex. and practical business men
be placed i'm each commission. who
would provide an experienced road
engineer 10 lay out the plans for al
road work. and see that the work is
carried out under his direction, we
believe tho money of the taxpayers
would be spent so as to bring good
roads. good management Of county
affairs and general satisfaction.

PERTURBED CHESTER.

IF HALF of what the Chester newspapers say
Il of political conditions in that city is true the
good people of Chester must be very unhappy
when they consider It all
The ring that has for so long controlled Chester
won at the recent municipal election, and it has
the distribution of the Offices. The police Of
Chester is part of the spoils system, and it is
said that the Board of Education is also looked
upon as profitable pickings for the sposrhen
The bitterness, engendered in Chester during
the election has continued and we suspect that
there has been a falling out of political leaders
and that they are waging against each other
Just as the leaders of the organization in Phil
adephia fought one another.
1t should be high time, however, for city like
Chester TO shed its political swaddling Clothes
and it will do so if the fight for municipal reform
started by the Chester newspapers continues 1t
will be only question of time before they win,
despite the fact that there is a large purchasable
vote against them.
Throughout the country the movement for good
municipal government is making great headway
and it will finally affect all cities that not dead.
The Chester police force should be taken out
of politics and there certainly should be no poll
tics in the school board.

Editorial Opinion
PERFECT BABIES.
New York American.

New York American.
The new Iowa fad seems to be the
production Of perfect babies. II all
comes from the declaration of Or
Margaret Clark a while ago that
babies should be judged, not by the
color Of their eyes. but by their ply
sical condition, the soundness Of their
teeth and the state of their nerves.
So at the Iowa State Fair there
was baby contest. TO offset those
conducted for cattle, and while judges
were tying ribbons on the prize win
ners among the dumb animals, tre-
mendous crowd watched the judging
of the human animals in the baby
show.
Measurements were made and SCI
entifc figures given out for COM
parison. At once the womens clubs
in Iowa responded to DR.. Clark's call
to abandon the poets and the discls-
sion o, things literary for considera-
ton of the vital question of rearing
the perfect child. This, she declares,
is the most important thing for the
future of her own, and every other
state.

THE NEW CHARTER.

TATfiAT the public knows so far of the work
w of the City Charter Commission is the va
rous articles that have been printed in the news
papers concerning the skeleton or frame work OF
the new charter on which the commissioners are
working. The commissioners may or may not pur
sue the lines that have been indicated
Various opinions have been expressed so far as
TO the work of the commission or what is supposed
TO be its work At the meeting Of the Civic AS
sociation the other night the tentative scheme OF
fhe charter commission was discussed, and the as
sociaton will endeavor to have an authoritative
statement of the work of the commission in order
that il may be discussed.
Some believe that nothing should be done until
the new charter as framed by the commissioners
is placed before the public as a completed instru-
ment The Journal however thinks that this is
mistaken view The making of the charter is
really legislative function and some Of its pro-
posed provisions should be made known and dis
cussed from time to time so that the commits
soners may be guided more or less by public
opinion.
We realize that the commissioners arc engaged
in difficult task but we believe that they have
made fully as much progress as was expected if
not more. The road TO a new charter is a road
filed with obstacles. This is the experience of
other cities. We think il will be the experience
Of Wilmington.
When the charter is formally put before the
people should it prove satisfactory to a consider
able number, some body Of men, or some organ
ization will have TO undertake the management
OF a campaign in favor of the charter In Trenton,
N. J- during the campaign which resulted in the
adoption of commission form of government, the
new system was advocated by strong combination
Of business men, and it was adopted after a fight
OF the most bitter kind OF course among the
commissioners are some able speakers men can
able OF defending the charter on the platform
and this is what we presume they will do
If the new charter made by the commission ap-
peals to any large number of citizens, as it no
doubt will, we fancy that there will be a lively
campaign.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.

TN HIS message to Congress President Taft re-
i cognzes the great importance of the trust
question and the fact that the government must
deal promptly and clearly with the problems con-
fronting big business. There is noindicaton of
change in the plans of the administration which
are 10 bring suit against all corporations violating
the Sherman law. That law, the president thinks,
needs amending, and in this view he differs from
some other leaders who believe the law should be
wiped out and new substituted.
The President still holds that competition can
be restored by the breaking up of the trusts.
Perhaps the most striking part of the message
is the presidents opinion that Jail sentences should
be imposed in cases Of violation of the law. This
view will make the captains of big business more
insistent than that their rights shall be clear
ly defined. None of them wants to serve time in
prison
If the President continues to prosecute the
trusts accused of violating the law, as he an
nounces he will do the Taft record of such cases
will far exceed that of the Roosevelt administra-
ton in actual work, although it will be below it in
the amount Of noise created
