Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand TO
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands Of business, the. wants
of the family, the requirements OF
society, more numerous. The first ef-
feet of the praiseworthy effort TO keep
up with all these things is common
ly seen i'm weakened or debilitated
condition Of the nervous system,
which results i'm dyspepsia. defective
nutrition of both body and brain, aud
In extreme cases in complete nervous
prostration. IL Is clearly seen that
what is needed is what will sustain
the system. give vigor and tone to the
nerves. and keep the digestive and as
similative functions healthy and .ac-
tive. From personal knowledge, we
can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla
for this purpose. Il acts ON all the
vital organs, builds up the whole sys-
TEN, and fits men and women for
these high-pressure days.

MOSQUITOES.

From the Dover Index.
A number of Dover's citizens have eX-
pressed an interest in our suggestions
as 20 ridding the town of mosquitoes
We are frank to admit that we do not
know much of value on this subject. but
we are deeply interested in learning,
and the only way to accomplish any
thing is to try out the theories already
advanced. What we, have learned is
briefly as follows; Mosquitoes breed in
tree holes, rainpipes, tin cans, bottles.
boxes. r0of-gutters, watering troughs,
old wells, cesspools. fountains. orna-
mental ponds catch basins of sewers
and every other places where water
stands long enough 20 become stagnant.
These are some of the causes ON our
own premises, and the remedy is in our
own hands. We must clean up the rub
bish and abolish the water containing
places on our own premises. The town
can prevent sewer breeding by flushing
the sewer openings or catch basins once
week in summer or by the use of a
low grade of kerosene oil. OF course,
the larger problem is drainage of the
lands along the creek. This, we be-
lieve, can be accomplished at a small
expense. We do not claim TO be experts
on drainage, but il does seem 10 us not
a difficult problem.

FISH PROPAGATION AND DISEASES.

N ENG inhabitants OF a seaboard State that has fish
ID ing interests OF its own, Deawareans cannot
fail be interested in bill that has been reported
favorably in the House Of Representatives by Repre-
sentative Faison, OF North Carolina behalf Of tho
Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries It ap-
propriates S79O,O0O for the establishment in Mary
land and other States Of sixteen fish hatcheries, the
one in Maryland to be more in the nature Of fish
laboratory than hatchery In fact, If It be built.
It will be the only establishment of it's kind in the
United States Local interest in the bill is accenuated
by the recollection that years ago Senator du
Pont of this State, endeavored to obtain legislation
which would lead TO the establishment Of fish hatch
cry New Castle, but Congress failed to provide
for It.
The measure just reported by Representative Faison
is omnibus hsh-hatchery bill In the States other
than Maryland the plants provided to be like those
already maintained for Matching and cultural pur-
poses The initial cost of each will be $4,000 The
Maryland plant will be used chiefly for the study Of
diseases and problems in connection with the propa-
cation OF fish and $4,000 is the initial sum recon-
mended for the establishment this plant. The bill
does not attempt TO X the location OF the plant but
leaves that TO the discretion OF Secretary Redhed.
The Maryland project Is based on the provisions Of
a bill introduced by Representative Frank o. Smith,
of the Fifth Maryland District The report filed con-
tains letter from Secretary Redheld OF the Depart
ment Of Commerce. stating that the proposal estab-
sh an experimental station for the study Of fish dis
and fish propagation" as provided for in the
Smith BILL is strongly indorsed his letter favor
ing this Maryland station Secretary Redneld said
Fish culture has reached such high degree Of
perfection in the United states, that the magnitude OF
the operations whole leaves little be desired
There is, however much for effective work in
fish culture similar to that conducted in animal and
plant industry at agricultural experimental stations
and OF the greatest needs OF the service an ox
perimental station for the study of fish diseases and
the propagation Of FISH breeding.
"rhe matter Of improving the food and game quali-
ties of fishes by selectve breeding Is a subject 10
which practically no attention has yet been given I'm
this country, but the possibilities embraced in the
project well worthy Of support from Congress in
view OF the great improvements that have been pro-
duced in domestic animals and plants by the applica-
ton of scientific methods.
"rhe serious aspect OF disease among cultivated
fishes has frequently been set forth in the Bureau
of Fisheries reports and brought directly TO the at
tenton Of Congress. An experimental station would

men. AS private citizen. business man and a
public official his record such that he possessed
the confidence and esteem of our entire community
He was a Democrat Of Democrats and yet not an Of

personal relations he had as many good friends ON
the Republican side the Democratic side.
Mr. Banning came Of one OF the Oldest and best
Of Delaware's many fine old families His father
Henry G. Banning. for many years president of
the National Bank OF Delaware and a representative
OF the highest type Of American citizenship.
James Latimer Banning inherited many of his faith

GREAT TAX COLLTCTION WORN.

THEY must have an efficient tax collection system
up in Allentown, Pa. and also property-own-
ng population that pays promptly. For instance in the
news columns Of the Lehigh Register Of that city we
1nd the following:
The collectors of delinquent city taxes for the fiscal
year, which extends from April J. 1913, TO April l.
1914, have made their final settlements at the Office
Of City Treasurer A. l.. Reichenbach The total tax
duplicate upon real estate amounted to S292,279O7.
Ofthis amount all but S561S has been collected This
amount is upon forty small lots distributed in the
Eleventh and Fourteenth wards The owners OF these
lots could be located by the collectors and these
claims have now been certified to the City Solicitor
for the fling of liens.
There is other city in Pennsylvania that settles
its taxes as closely Allentown. The fact must be
borne in nina that the citizens called upon to pay
taxes in the year for which they levied. There is
no extension of time as in many other cities through
out the State.
Allentown can justly lay claim 20 having the best
tax paying community in the United States II not I'm
the world This fact has been demonstrated time and
again and If there is any community in the country
with better tax-paying citizens, Il Is yet TO be heard
from.
Such tax collecting record that reported above
is worthy Of the serious attention and admiration OF
all persons who interested in fiscal affairs OF a
public nature.

DELAwARE AND MAINE sUAD.

n ELAwARE bay and river fishermen report that
- shad will be unusually plentiful this season That
is good news. II means that prices will be so low that
everyone, those who are very poor will be in
position to enjoy this toothsome and savory variety of
food
The Delaware bay shad has won international recog-
milton OF the finest Of the worlds edible fishes
That there is spot I'm Maine in which the shad Is
not appreciated fully deserves to be and where
the strawberry has ecpsed il in least poetic favor
is shown by the following. which appears on the front
of grocery store owned by man who seemingly de-
votes time to flirting with the Muse than to aud
ing his piscatorial wares:
when the angels made shad
The Devil was mad
For it seemed such a feast of delight;
So, TO ruin the scheme
He Jumped into the stream
And put in the bones out OF spite
When the Strawberries red
First illumined their bed
The angels looked down and were glad
But the Devil 'tis said.
Fairly pounded his head
For he'd used all the bones in the shad'
Now, submit that the fish under discussion by that
poet in Maine not Delaware bay shad and that
what we know the herring down here must be
known the shad up there.

AS TO MINORITY RULE.

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL;
Sir-Ihe reason given by our utro-
conservative friends that ON account OF
the number of voters not going on CON
stitutiOnal amendments. referred laws
and initiative petitions make this kind
of legislation minority rule. is founded
upon arguments which. il followed to
their conclusion, viii prove that almost
oil legislation is procured by a minority
vote. If we analyze the vote of repre-
sentativcs in state legislatures and Con-
l gress we find that there is as large
! percentage of legislators not voting on
proposed bills in representative bodies as
/ there are voters not voting ON initiative
| petitions. The fact ia brought out that
| a vote in a representative body in many
cases represents a minority vote more
IN a body of this kind than i'm direct
vote of the people because in repre-
sentative body il is only necessary for
"a member to propose bill and on mo-
tion of member and seconded by an
other the bill Is started on its usual
course for approval or disproval. This
bill may be passed by a minority vote
due to members being paired, members
being absent and members being pres
ent and not voting.
On the other hand in direct legislation
IL is necessary for one to procure from
3 per cent TO s per cent of the voters
at the last election to second a proposed
law by signing a petition for the same.
This petition and law are filed with the
secretary Of State who must publish
them considerable time before the en-
suing election for the voters to analyze
and discuss them. In the process Of
obtaining the signers to a petition the
proposed law will become pretty well
known and when we add more time for
analyzing and discussing the proposed
law the people win become thoroughly
versed in the merits OF the proposed
measure, and vote with intelligence on
it. Those who are Indifferent as to
whether they have good or bad law and
fail TO vote on proposed laws presented
10 them for consideration will automat-
icallv fall into class that has no legal
consideration whatsoever. / quote Abra-
ham Lincoln. at Is the universal prac-
tice in popular elections in these States

COMMENpABLE ACTIYITY.
