sarily indicate the seriousness of its

course, describe It's feelings, but as a

Nine times out of IN, you will find It
is all the child needs, for its restlessness
and peevishness are perhaps due to OBJ
struction of the bowels. and once that
has been remedied the headache, the

KENT LEVY COURT
. FOR BOULEVARD
Offers and Suggests Kings
Highway as Route for
the DUPONT ROa1

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, July 6.-Kent coun-
ty's Levy Court yesterday unani-
mously adopted the following resolu-
ton that had been offered by Mr.
Donoho and which also was advocated
by Messrs. Gooden, Carmean and
Sherwood:
Whereas, There has been some
apprehension over the attitude Of
this court concerning the construc-
ton Of Mr.. T. Coleman duPont's pro-
Dosed boulevard, and particularly as
to his use of the state road or Kings
Highway and crossing the roads and
bridges thereon.
Resolved, That we suggest and
tender to Mr.. DUPONT the use of said
route not only because il is a direct
route, but because it will involve
less expense to maintain the one
road"
The Levy Court is controlled by the
Democrats. Under the law passed by
the last Legislature, General dupont
can use the public roads if he desires
for boulevard purposes.
j. Frank Moore, a grape culturist
who recently removed here from the
north and set out large vineyards, ad-
dressed the Board of Trade this week
favoring the high land route for the
DUPONT boulevard through Dover and
said:
Il have positive proof that Dover is
going to grow into great place
fPeople will soon be coming here from
~the North ano West, where they are
dissatisfied with their localities as
permanent habitations. Dover will
grow. greater than any man here has
any lCea of during the next ten oI
fifteen years. Let US provide the most
desirable sites for these new citizens
and prepare to make them not only
