Aid For q Good Cause

lit has frequently been said that
when all other means of accom-
p'ishmentfai turn it over to the
ladies and they will turn defeat
ahto success. BE that as it may,
The ladies Of Camden who took up
@n themselves the organization of
The Camden Cemetery Association
are meeting with great deal of
encouragement, and they deserve
it, for they have taken hold of the
matter in the right way.
Efforts have been made from
time to time heretofore to care for
End improve the cemetery, but for
some reason these efforts we're not
a bowling success. Recognizing
the need of organization and con-
fcentrated effort, the ladies came to
the rescue. Their first effort to-
ward the accomplishment of their
purpose was to secure a sufficient
fund--a relief fund, it is called.
Contributions have been coming
IN every since the news went forth
that the ladies had organized for
the expressed purpose of looking
after Camden Cemetery. Among
the very generous contributions
received by Mrs. w. p. McGill,
president of the association, is one
from WI. Cooper of Montgomery,
Ala. This contribution is men
toned in particular because it
shows how the efforts of the ladies
are appreciated elsewhere. Mr..
Cooper clipped the item from The
Chronicle telling Of the organiza-
tion of tire Camden Cemetery AS
sociation and enclosed it with his
check in the letter to Mrs. McGill.
With his consent we are glad to
give space to the letter, which is
as follows:
Dear Mrs. McGill-The attach
ed clipping from The Camden
Chronicle is self-explanatory, and
She cause is we'll worthy a substan-
sial support, which, l not only hope
for you, but firmly believe will be
forthcoming when the conditions
are fully realized by the good peo-
pile of Camden. 1t is not alone
from a sense of duty, but a privi-
lege as we'll, that-I avail myself of
this opportunity to make the small
contribution of'S5 90.
1t would seem that instead of
waiting for funds to be solicited
by the members of the association
contributions should seek the
treasury thereof until 1T would
5ustify the expense of, putting the
grounds in .frst-class condition,
also to support such continued at
tention as, in the judgment of the
officers, is deserved.
Il shall be glad to contribute reg
,ularly, at such times as you may
designate, toward any permanent
organization that may be effected,
-Ef you should contemplate such an
arrangement as keeping man on
duty continually, under the direc-
4ion of the association, youmay as
sess me at least $1,000 per annum
toward the support of such work.
Yours truly, 4

possibly have most direct bear
ing upon the health and happiness
of the family, of all departments
constituting its labors.
In the kitchen all questions of
sanitation, labor saving devices,
ets., are to be studied as the prepa-
ration and cooking of foods to
nourish and sustain the body are
done here.
Proper wall and. floor coverings
will be shown.
Milk is both food and drink, and
it's proper care, as well as care of
butter and making of cheese, and
also the daily care of the refriger-
,atorare practical subjects that Miss
Buttorf will give beneficial talks
upon the dairy.
In the laundry, neof the many
additions of the present admins
tration, all the most approved sad
irons, clothes washers, wringers,
crimping machines, charcoal heat
ers, ETC., will be on display, and
they deserve careful attention.
Much of the-spread of contagion
of diseases is the result of unsani-
tary conditions under which the
family laundry is done.
Many scrupulously careful
housekeeper and mother would be
shocked if she shown the one room
of many of the laundresses-where
they eat, sleep, are i'll and do the
cooking, and the same one room
that their clothes are washed and
ironed in. If a rainy week, then
the clothes are dried in this one
room also.
Frequently there is a scarcity of
water to be considered. This fear
full menace the city woman is more
victim to than her country sister.
When women see the simple,
successful washers now on the mar
ket, and learn how to operate them,
that they may teach their servants,
then more homes will have simply
equipped laundry rooms, and cloth
ing can be washed properly, and
under sanitary conditions that will
result in safety to health.
The daily demonstrations of
soap-making will interest a great
number. There are few things
sold today that are more adulterat.
ed than soaps. The process of
making soap at home is very simple
and not at all Objectionable. Ros-
in, which is about one-half of most
of the laundry soaps, is not only an
adulterant, but is really harmful to
any fabric on which it is used. 1t
is cheaper to pay ten cents pound
for white soap than to pay four
cents pound for, rosin soap. In
white soap, Is per cent real soap;
in rosin soap only 30 per cent,
Toilet Soap-One pound fat,

If any are not successful with
these formulas, let it be known at

out. Raw rock phosphate is used to
reinforce the manur and add phos-

was plant-selected in the fall and
stored In a w~ell-ventilated room with

Governor Woodrow Wilson has
1ound a new champion In Senator Gull
person OF Texas, who has frequently
been mentioned as a possible nomi-
nee for the presidency by the Demo
cratic national convention at Balti-
mora
In a formal statement issued at
washington %espousing the cause Of
n New Jersey executive, Senator
Culberson says:
Now that It is practically settled
there will be no primary for president,
l have no hesitation in saying in re-
ply to recent inquiries from Texas
Democrats that l believe we should
nominate Governor Wilson Of New
Jersey for president. While all may
not agree with him as to some details,
Governor Wilson Is by birth. educa-
tion and conviction a Democrat and q
Democrat Of the very best type. In
the present emergency he would ap-
ply the fundamental principles Of
democracy to existing deplorable con-
d1tions in such manner as to restore
to the people their government. d.
vorce the government from a privi-
legged class and seek the prosperity Of
the whole country rather than a IA
vored few.
Wilson's Policies.
J "He would limit tariff taxes to gov
ernmental purposes, he would regu-
late Justly but effectively railway and
other corporations engaged in inter
state commerce.. and while he would
deal literally and generously with the
pension list he would make 1t in
truth q roll Of honor and not a mere
medium for a coarse and Wholesale as

because Of his stand for popular gov
eminent and because he let 1t be
known that he did not desire the sup
port Of special interests, giving them
to understand that they need expect
no favor from him after election, have
not injured him In public estimation
o swerved him from his high pur-
pose to serve the whole and not sim
ply a part Of the people.
1.-THE latest criticism Of him is that
as governor Of New Jersey he has
made no effort to modify or repeal the
laws of that state under which most
of the great trusts have been organ
lied. This charge Is entirely b~aseless.
for in his very first message to the
legislature Governor Wilson de-
nounced the existing incorporation
laws Of the state as having brought
discredit upon It and urged such
changes In them as would effectually
prevent the abuse Of the privilege OF
Incorporation. He also recommended
that such scrutiny and regulation
should not be confined to corporations
seeking charters but should be extend
ed to those already IN existence.

Both Green and Squair were at their
