BAD FOR THE STOMACH.
When Non-fatty Foods Are Intimately
Mixed With Grease.

Wnen NON -Tatty Fooos Are Intimately
Mixed With Grease.
The stomach never has the least pow
er Of digesting true fat This Is dis
posed Of in the intestines. When eat
en- in the ordinary forms. as fat meat
butter, etc, the fat separates out in
the stomach and does not in the least
interfere with the work of the gastric
Juice on the other food, but when a
non-fatty food has been intimately mix
ed with grease the latter prevents the
gastric Juice getting at the food 1t
could digest
Fish fried in oil or butter is by no
means the most marked example, as
the fat does not penetrate very deeply.
Potatoes mashed with butter are rsth-
er worse and minced vegetables fried
with butter are bad offenders The
reason advanced explains why pork
is difficult of digestion. The muscular
fbers are mixed up with fat cells, and
by the liberation Of the oil in each
tiny cell the eaten pork is made into
an ally paste.

About Good Roads

Another good roads organization
in Springfield recently laid plans to
drag every road leading into that city
for a distance of 10 miles AT a con-
ference recently held In Peoria it was
planped to amalgamate all the good
roads organizations of that vicinity,
the object being TO facilitate the
in Peoria county.
The Illinois Valley Automobile
Association will aid the Davenport
Automobile Association in marking
that strip of the Sunset Trail which
leads through the Illinois valley.
The mark will consist OF a light blue
band around telegraph poles, with
the initials of |. V. A. A. AT Ottawa
the trail divides, one route leading TO
Chicago by way Of Joliet, the other
passing through Aurora.
One of the mistakes road COM
missioners are apt to make is the
raising of the center of the road bed
too high and digging the. bitches at
the sides too deep, a condition which
increases the danger Of accidents to
motorists so per cent. If commits
sioners would restrict the height OF
crown 70 six inches, and keep the
width of the road path to 80 feet, we
would sooner reach a condition OF
perfect highways.

had some disappointlnents the past
week owing to the failure of the

appear for duty. The boat was re-
ceiving coat of paint at the Mil

wharf at Milford. No damage of great
amount was done to the steamer.
but some small repairs were neces-
sary. On Wednesday afternoon as
the steamer was proceeding down Mil
ford river, one of her cylinder heads
blew off. She was laid up at the
New Wharf, about six miles down
tile stream, where repairs were made
to her. The "Vinyard" was bound
for Smyrna, Wien the accident oc-
Cured, where her owner, Wilson M.
Vinyard, has contracted with parties
to run her between there and Phila-
delphia until fruit season opens.
The "Vinyard" went through to
Philadelphia today and will take
the Smyrna-Philadelphia run from
now on as per timetable published
in another column. For the past
week steamer "Frankie" has been
making the trips. She will do
special work while the "Vinvard"

to become rector of this Parish.
The vestry before extending the
call raised the salary from $1,000
to, 81, 200 per year. Rev. Hill
visited this Parish two weeks ago
and like his previous visits left a
deep impression with all who were
privileged to hear him. He is a
scholar and a sermonizer of much
power and eloquence. The new
rector-elect has not sent his reply to
st. Peters VestIY but a favorable
answer is hoped for the last of the
week. Rev. Hill is a member of
the Diocese of Maryland and is a
classmate of Rev. Charles H. Hol-
mead, of Wilmington, former rector

he has served, he has done excellent
work and aided materially in building
up parishes wherever he has been.
Rev. Hill is married man and has
a wife and three little children. ST.

Opinion of Some of the Fishermen

The decline in the establishing in
dustry along the Delaware River is
attributed by many of the fishermen
to oil, which is found in great guam
titles on the surface of the river,
originating at upstream points.

men considered the Delaware River
water preferable to we'll water for

up their water casks when they got

Despite unreasonable weather
conditions, large crowds attended
the spring millinery opening of Mrs.
Matte W. Campbell. With the
neat and refined taste with which
she has characterized all her open
ings, her stock of pattern hats,
larger and be ter than ever were
much admired and a splendid spring
business is resulting from it. Her
window was a model Of neatness.
while her store abounded in crea-
tions of the very best AMI latest
styles of the season. The store of
Miss Matte A. Murray was also
the mecca for many women. Her
display opened to the public last
week has been the subject of much
praise and comment. Miss Murray
has by her fair dealings and moder-
ate prices built up a fine trade and
she knows how to buy and what is
latest and best. See advertisements

NARROWLY ESCAPES BULLET
Stray Bullet Hits Engine, Barely Graz
ing William Walker In His Boat.

While in a naptha launch Monday
afternoon, William Walker, of
Smyrna Landing had a close call
from being shot by stray bullet
which came over the creek from the
direction of Belmont Hall Farm.
The bullet, which was 80 calibre,
struck the engine and glanced and
hit Mr. Walker on the shoulder.
The bullet, however, did not pen
citrate, but had he been in direct
line instead of the engine, the re-
suit might have been more serious.
The shot seems to have been made
by some boys with a rifle who were
sporting around the GEEK back Tof
Belmont. Fortunately. no serious
accident happened, but the incident
should be a warning to boys against
reckless shooting. Mr.. Walker
thinks he knows the guilty parties
and whether he will make a law
case of this as an object lesson is
not known.

TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS
Being Made by the Diamond State
Company on the Peninsula

W AtiC OidiItOHu SIdIe
Company on the Peninsula
Officials of the Diamond State
Telephone Company announce an ap-
preparation of $4, 400 for additional
aerial cable at Middletown. Ninety
seven hundred and fifty feet of
aerial cable will be erected so as
to make possible the removal of
3S 1-3 miles of open wire. The
cable type of construction is now
being used by the telephone COM
pany, wherever possible as it is
practically storm proof, and a single
cable, as thick as a rams wrist,
will carry as many W as half a
dozen pole lines of cross arms
each. The sum of 81, Boo has just
been appropriated by the Diamond
State Telephone Company for re-
placing the present submarine cable
between Port Penn and Greedy Is
land. The new cable will be one of
2, 800 feet in length and it will con-
tain 10 9-gauge wires. This new
cable will much improve, transmits
sion and is of greater capacity than
the one it replaces. 1t will also
further safeguard the growing
demand for service between these
points. The company is making
improvements all over the territory
and the service is benefting greatly
thereby.
