FAULTY DIGESTION
Quickly Skaters the Nervous System.
Immediate Action Necessary.
Use Mi-o-na

When you feel irritable, tired and de-
spondent; when you have nervous
twtchings, specks before the eyes,
headaches, sour stomach, heartburn,
bad taste in the mouth, and pains in
the colon and bowels-you are suffer
ing from Indigestion, the first step TO
chronic dyspepsia, which invariably
wrecks the nervous system-you need
Mi-o-na at once.
AIi-o-na is specific for stomach
wealSness-it goes TO the seat Of your
trouble and quickly ends stomach mis-
cry. Il surely and safely builds up
and strengthens the stomach walls and
glands, quickly improves the digestive
system-the vital force and nerve en-
ergy are restored, then you are in the
best of spirits and enjoy perfect health.
DO not suffer another day. Get a
ifty-cent box Of Mi-o-na Tablets from
y. b. Danforth. Market and Second
streets, OF your nearest drug store
keep them with YOU constantly, for this
treatment will help you get well and
strong, and immediate reliet is sure. Do
not delay-delays are not only dam
qerous but needless. If not benefited
Ai-o-na costs nothing.

CONDITION OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS

CONDITION OF PUBLIC SShOOLS.
From the Milford Chronicle.
In another part Of this paper is print
ed a circular which has been sent out by
the Commissioner OF Education for Dell
aware. from the point Of getting results
from the money expended for public
school education. This statement is
compiled from the annual reports from
the various schools in all parts OF
Delaware by the Commissioner Of Edu-
cation, and il discloses the fact that
there has been criminal lack Of inter-
est in the schools by the parents, the
teachers themselves and the various
school boards. This lack Of interest
has developed gradually a syst'm with
which the people generally are dissatis-
fed, because the most prominent factor
is the disposition 60 curtail as far as
possible, all expenditure OF tax monies
for public school education, until the
cry ia badly made that the smallest
amount possible. and the least oppor-
tunity permissible 60 secure the State
apportionmcnt Tor individual dis
trict, shall constitute the basis OF school
finances; this is the general condition
prevailing I'm majority OF the rura
schools. But the most important fsctoi
20 be dealt with. Is the teachers TIT
facts show that most teachers fail t.
realize the duty that rests upon them
and that their work is more than teach
Z ing in the class room. hearing recitali
or making papers. When the childreI
ia the school fail 10 attend the session
IL is their duty TO ascertain the cause
and urge upon the parents the necessity
for regular attendance; in fact, thei
duties are very largely OF a paterna
nature; and Ia view of the lack Of gen
eral supervision from the State Boarl
of Education in the part. the teaches
OF Delaware have an excuse for thci
failure to realize the responsibility o
their profession. Then the local schoo
commissioners hayc looked upon thei
schools itoo oftcnl in the light Of nee
essary TO take up n part of their cash
and Tor that reason the schools hav'
been managed by those who had no di
rect interest in public school education
Il is not sufficient that the public schoo
fund should be kept open for ono hun
dred and forty days each year, but th
children must be compelled TO atten'
these schools for at least ninety pc
cent Of the time. We may differ Il
opinion with the men who are direct
ing the affairs OF public school educa
tiou Oh some points, but there shoul
be no failure to support the genera
plan for getting full value for tn
money paid for maintaining the schools
The teachers must be forced TO do thei
full duty, and learn what that duty
before attempting TO take charge OF
school. The commissioners must loo
{ into thc conditions OF their schools froI
other than handling the cash and SUI
plying teachers boarding places. IL wi
DO all good to read this circular oyg
carefully and study the situation an
what the State Board OF Educatio
. hopes to accomplish.

Editorial Opinion
ELIMINATE 1T.

From the Dover Delawarean.
We are in hearty accord with the
movement now understood to be on
foot to devise some means OF elimi-
mating the question OF resubmission
Of the license or no license test to
the voters Of Kent and Sussex coun-
ties from our biennial elections. That
this question does intrude and that
it does predominate all too promi-
nently as factor In shaping the leg
islative tickets for our general cleo
tions must be admitted. That Il IS
thus injected to the injury or nulli-
fication of othor interests must also
be admitted
Therefore the feeling which Is now
credited to the managers Of both par
ties, of q determination to remove
this subject from the general cleo
tions, or to so arrange for vote on
resubmission that 1t will not be ne
cessary 40 pledge or have pledged
legislative candidates, will be hailed
with pleasure by the people gener-
ally.
The most feasible plan Of attain
ing the object aimed at. Il occurs to
u.s. is to have the constitution so
amended that fixed periods will be
arranged for a vote on the liquor
question In the several districts, and
It can make but little difference wheth-
er these periods be fixed for special
OF general elections. In neither case
would the subject necessarily become
/ partizan In character and certainly M
candidate would be selected on tn,
grounds that their official vote and in.
nuence would be for or against r.
cense.
This plan has been adopted in othei
States where local option prevail.
and has been found + work we'll An,
! We see no reason why Il should no
work equally satisfactory here. Ger
tain It Is that present conditions ar,
not desirable. The voters have tn,
problem placed before them and mus
meet II IN almost every district wheth-
er they desire Il dry or not, and IN
fact because Of the agitation causes
by the operations OF the Hazel Anti
Shipping -aw passed at the last ses
sion. the subject is looming up NOR
prominently than ever to be met II
the coming campaign.
Let there be e united effort mad
to eliminate the question from ou
political contests and our genera
elections will not be hampered a
they now are and must continue TO b.
until change is secured.

SUSSEX AND GOOD ROADS.

from the LeWes Pilot.
II is expected that grangers from
all parts of Sussex county will be
present at the meeting of the county
body to be held here on Thursday.
February 3. at which time many
prominent speakers will be present.
It is more than likely that the great
est interest viii center on the ques-
tion Of better roads at the meeting.
to be thoroughly discussed by County
Road Engineer Morgan T. Cum, Of
p'rankford.
Farmers throughout the whole
county are at this time vastly inter-
ested in this movement for better
highways and grangers have been
taking up the matter at their meet
ings. The matter was also brought
TO the attention Of the Levy Court to
devise some plan to give the people
these much needed improvements with
what little money they have az their
command. With better roads In the
county and state, crops can then be
loaded and marketed to the many
shipping points earlier, thereby reach
ing their destination in better condi-
ton than heretofore.
With the Levy Court realizing that
something must be done soon to bet
ter conditions and County Engineer
Morgan T. Gum working day and
night for the best interests OF the
county, together with The many grang-
ers manifesting considerable interest.
n Is more than likely that at the
meeting next week that they WIN for
mulate plans for a movement TO bet
ter existing conditions and that ap-
peals will be sent to the Levy Court
from every quarter Of the county
where oranges are located.
