Recently I talked with one Of the
specialists at the drug store and he
told me that had nervous debility and
advised me to try tonic called 'Tona

who is living in the same house with
us saw how this medicine was helping
me and began taking it and even
though he has taken but a few doses.

AFTER HALF
HOLIDAY FOR
WOMEN WORKERS

The Consumers League of Della
ware is agitating the question Of a
summer weekly half holiday for the
soleswomen in the city stores.
The following self explanatory
statement has been sent out by the
League to several hundred members
asking their cooperation, and espe-
cially asking them to write to city
merchants enclosing suggested
form. The statement and letter form
follow:
The Consumers League is trying
to secure for the women and girls
In our stores a half holiday one day
in the week during the hot summer
months Of July and August, as is the
custom in other cities. With your
hearty cooperation we believe It can
be secured.
THE investigation committee plans
TO interview the merchants personal
ly, but We also need tie expression
Of your interest and concern as a
customer on behalf of the saleswo-
men. The success of the undertake
ing will depend largely upon your
interest ana cQ-OpeTdllOu.
"Will you not show your interest
by writing personal notes. before
June 10th to each of the stores which
YOU patronize where women are en-
ployed. urging upon each merchant
that it is both practical and humane
to give their employees a weekly hall
holiday. Five trousand such letters
sent by members of the Consumers
League of Philadelphia, brought about
the closing of the stores in that city
in the evening. before Christmas.
The practicability of such a halt
holiday is being urged in view Of the
fact that the Consumers League m
Germantown has recently secured
this half holiday in that place--s
town of similar shopping conditions
as Wilmington, and in view of the
fact that at least two Of our Whining
ton stores do give such a half holiday
and that even our grocers and proyj-
sioners have, for several years. clos
ed their stores one half day each
week. evidently without loss of bust.

MY Dear MIR.
In view of the fact that the mar.
kets and grocery stores and several
Market street stores are now giving
the much needed weekly half holiday
during July and August want tc
ask you if you too cannot adopt this
custom. and hope you will gee your
way clear to do so this summer.
This is matter Of very deep in.

What Became of Little Child?

Union, June 6.-Absolutely no
trace of the mysterious little girl
who gave her name as "Eilecn" and
who appeared at West Springs last
Tuesday morning and dropped from
view as if the earth had swallowed
her up has yet been found.
The mystery, the pathos OF this
tiny little girl, apparently not more
than six years old, who said that her
parents were dead and she was afraid
that some one who was looking for
her would find her, the thought OF
this little one wandering around in
the woods and hiding in the under
brush by day and night, has aroused
the people of West Springs section,
indeed, has evoked interest all over
the country and many expressions of
sympathy have been heard as to the
distressing condition of the poor lit
tie girl.
A diligent search was made for
miles by a party of from so to IS
persons, who, going about 20 yards
apart, formed a perfect dragnet OF
the whole west side of the road for
miles around West Springs and Ia
ter on a partial search was made OF
the other side of the road, though
the last time the child was seen she
was not going in that direction. =,
However, there has arisen ques-
ton in the minds of at least a few
persons as to the possibility OF the
child having crossed without being
seen and having, for the sake of hid
ing, concealed herself in some OF the
numerous tunnels or excavations OF
the Ophir gold mines, which are half
a mile from where she was seen. 1t
is possible that a search will be in
stituted to see if she has been in
that neighborhood.
There was a report current last
week that she had wandered from
Clinton, and at once letter was
written to DR.. w. P. Jacobs, Of
Thornwell orphanage, asking If he
knew anything about a child and
whether she was from his institution
or from the town. A reply from him
stated that she was entirely unknown
but that if she was found and had no
home, to let him know, and he would
provide for her.
