brief talk to The Times, Friday, said
that she hoped the two addresses
would be the means of offering prac-
tical and helpful suggestions to De-
troit citizens, because her statements
are founded on the result OF study
of actual conditions in a number Of
cities throughout the country.

me so long that cannot shake ii of
no matter how earnestly / endeavor
TO tell the exact facts concerning the
incident" lamented Mrs. Crane, as
she deprecated any desire TO be con-
sidered a municipal house cleaner"
in the sense of entering a town and
setting everybody TO work with
brooms to clean the streets and al
leys, enforce the smoke ordinance,
etc.
SON the invitation of the state
boards of health of Kentucky, Ten.
nessee and Minnesota, made an ex.
haustive study of conditions In num-
Der OF cities in those states, with re-
gard to city sanitation and those
things which we designate in our
homes as modern conveniences,

HAIR REMOVERS
ARE DANGEROUS
Physicians Say: "Dont Use Poison.
Gus DepiIatories."

The extravagant claims recently
made by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
OF hair removers In sensational ad.
vertisements unquestionably justify
physicians In cautioning the public
against the use OF this class of depila.
tories. How many people have been
enticed into using these dangerous
preparations, with consequent injury
to themselves, cannot be estimated.
but only guessed at.
The preparations above referred to
are invariably In the form OF creamy
pastes, which arc to be spread upon
the skin to remain until they dry.
These contain Sulphide OF Bariuni, an
insoluble chemical, which cannot be
dissolved: therefore cannot be ab-
sorbed by the skin. The very fact
that you are told to leave these pasty
compounds on the skin until they dry
and cake and then lift OF with a knife
is proof positive that they are not abb
sorbed. IL they are, why do they still
remain on the skin? The most they
can possibly do is to remove the sur
face hair, which In consequence will
reappear stronger and thicker after
each removal.
There Ii only one logical and scien.
tific way TO remove hair, and that Is
by means OF a liquid containing sol.
uble ingredients which can be absorb
ed by the skin. De Miracle, known
all the World over as the only real
superfiuous hair remover. Is just such
q preparation. II Is easily and quick
ly absorbed and after you have used
II you will note there Is nothing left on
the skin. II leaves the skin free from
irritation, and what 10 more to the
point, II Is absolutely non-poisonous;
therefore. II will not produce eczema
or blood poisoning. Remember, no

Beware. OF the fake free advertisers
and others who by wording of their
advertisements. try to give the i'm
preston that newspapers and other

worthless preparations. Don't be de-

only preparation which is SO en-.

How much pounding can a jackass
take and keep up with the procession7 2
This one had more clubs, broom ham
dies, hoe handles, ak helves and pitch
forks broken over his back than would
fill a freight car. but he came up to
the scratch smiling He was hit with
clods, stones, brickbats. old cans and
bottles and picket fences. but he
didn't grow weary of well doing. One
night when he broke up a prayer
meeting with his bray a good deacon
rushed out and knocked him uncon-
scious with a blow from a crowbar. It
was believed that he was dead, but
next morning saw him wandering
about as gayly as ever.
Again, a young man was counting a
girl He was interrupted by that haw-
haw-haw just as he was about TO
ask the girl to be his'n. He ran out
and fred a dose Of bird shot into the
disturber. No use. The jack was
friskng next day. x
Nevertheless there must be a limit
to all things. Even an owneriess
jackass must draw the dead line some
where. This one held on for two years
before he drew. Then he decided that
he hadn't been used square in that
Christian community. It had sent
cash to the heather OF Africa and left
him to eat moldy straw. 1t had been
kind to dogs and horses, but had
bruised and battered him on various
occasions. He would shake the dust
Of the town of his hoofs but Ia going
he would leave a memory behind.
A railroad was being run to the vii
lage. The grading contractor was do
ing much blasting, and half a mile
from the village limits he had 500
pounds Of dynamite in a shed The
jackass took his departure at night.
His way lay past that shed. He stop
ped and backed up to the door and
kicked It IN. and kicked at the boxes
piled up. Then Sandy Hill had an
earthquake that tore things to pieces
and created damages 10 the amount
OF $4,000. That was ten years ago,
but 1t still shows the scars and stilI
talks Of that explosion. When you ask
what became OF the jackass the man
will shake his head and drop his voice
as he replies:
That's what we have never found
out. and we shouldn't be a bit sur
prised to see him come back any day.
II he does we shall have to abandon
the town.

GET IN HIDING, YE LAGGARDs.

4 HAT was a great gathering at Dover yester.
= day The people are aroused by the duP
offer to construct a highway through the State.
They showed their interest by flockne to the
State capital They wanted 10 hear all about an
offer which, if accepted, would have the effect of
giving Delaware impetus never dreamed of
before. They know full we'll that IL such road
as General dupont contemplates is really con-
strueted that Delaware will go forward by leaps
and bounds. 1t would mean in truth the Opening
up of Delaware. The way would be clear for
the grasping of opportunities never before pre-
sentcd.
The good State highway would be followed by
the constructing OF other good roads and before
many years there would not be foot of bad road
in Delaware. They believe that before very long
there would be trolley lines through the State,
that new people would come here, that a spirit Of
civic pride and progress would be aroused in
Delaware such as never before dreamed Of
The lower counties Of Delaware during the last
decade have not mad the progress they should
have made. Some OF the towns have decreased
in population. Sussex county has gone ahead but
Kent county has stood still Rural New Castle
has been practically at standstill and although
Wilmington, Of course increased in population
the increase was not such as desired
The dupont road would be solid and substan-
tial beginning of new era. Delaware as a gar
den would be in sight Land values would in
crease. Big farms would be cut up into smaller
FARMS there would be more intensive and mod
ern cultivation of the soil. People would come
here by the hundreds and thousands They would
invest In our properties. Delaware would have
more visitors than ever. The State of Delaware
would become transformed. There would be an
awakening
The vision of certain progressive men OF years
age, the pioneer peach kings and the present day
strawberry kings and apple kings would be near
realization.
Altogether the prospects of Delaware with the
beginning of this great improvement are enough
70 arouse the blood in the veins of the most slug
gish Delawarean who cares at all for the welfare
of the State.
T. Coleman DUPONT is too big proposition TO
let pass. He has done a great deal for Whining
ton-thc dupont building being one of the
things-and if he is going to extend the field of.his
activity to the State at large Delaware is not
going to let the opportunity go by. "'

Editorial Opinion
He Was a Man.

Morning News.
Isaac Thomas Parker, whose NJ
neral took place in this city Thurs
day, was known as one of the plain
men, yet he was only such because he
was In the rank and file of workers.
He considered himself a plain man
and was proud of It.; yet he revealed
that the plainest men can become
agents for good That was the di-
recting impulse of Isaac Thomas
Parker. He was an earnest and con-
sctentious citizen and he played his
part well. He was one of the most
enthusiastic church workers in the
city and in that respect had endeared
himself to many who crossed his
path and came within the sound Of
his voice.
AS a railroad conductor be came in
close touch with the people of the
State, and was widely known from
the Brandywine to Delmar. His
friends were only limited by those
who knew him and there were many
who were familiar with the CHEEKY
and cordial man who has now gone
to his rest. He had served the Stats
as Lieutenant-Governor and he filled
that position with the dignity befitting
the office. In all respects Isaac
Thomas Parker was a man. He was
honored and respected while living
and he will be honored and respected
for many long years by those who
had the pleasure of his acquaintance
and his friendship.

VALIDATING CITY GOVERNMENT.

M Q DOUBT the delay of the Legislature in the
consideration of a bill TO validate the pres
ent city government is causing some persons to
wonder what will be done about it,
Perhaps il would have been better had the Legis-
lative leaders taken up this question some time
ago. There, however, should be no fear that
something definite will not be done. A bill will
probably be passed legalizng all the acts of the
present city government so far as they relate TO
the financial transactions, but it is not probable
that the Legislature will legaze the act of City
Council With reference to the Rash and Ross
matter.
1t is also probable that along with this bill
there will be measure concerning the elections
in Wilmington. For some time it has been thought
that the municipal elections should be surrounded
by the same safeguards that enveop the State
elections There is good reason why the laws
OF the State election should not apply to the
City .eecrion WE'LL The vote could be canvassed
by the Judges as is done in State elections.
Since the present method Of conducting State
elections has been in practice there has been little
it any complaint about the counting Of the vote.
The elections have been conducted as fairly as
they we'll could be, and the method has been sat
isfactory. The polls at city election shouli be
kept open all day at a State election The
Legislature would do we'll TO pass a law making
the changes in the method of holding the city cleo
ton.

LIVING AT HIGH TENSION

To overdo in order to keep up with
the parade is the tendency of the age.
Living at such a high tension, is Il
any wonder that our nerve sanitari-
ums and rest cures are filled with
nervous, overworked, broken-down
men and womeN.
When one begins to get into this
condition, there is only one cure-a
complete rest, together with a whole
some diet and a good blood-making
tonic and strength creator. There Is
nothing in this line that can possibly
excel the medicinal elements Of the
Gods liver combined with tonic iron.
This simple combination is found in
Vinol. II contains no oil or grease
and agrees with everyone.
A well known college professor
states that he considers Vinol a truly
wonderful tonic and strength creator.
He was himself overworked and run
down to a critical point. A friend
asked him to try Vinol. He did so.
and is now enjoying perfect health,
and its curative powers cannot be too
strongly extolled
We recommend Vinol to build IN
and strengthen the rundown and
oyerworked, weak women, old people.
delicate children and convalescents.
In case anyone is not satisfied after
taking one bottle, we always refund
their money. This does not happen,
often, however, because Vinol's per-
centage Of cures is very high. \. b.
