portion of the town east of Walnut
Street, and Mr.. Neal will collect i'm
the district west of Walnut street
The collections will be made regular
ly on Monday and Friday, and if ne
cessary, also on Wednesday.
The collection of garbage is very
necessary to the public health move
ment, and the success of the plan will
depend entirely upon the cooperation
Of the people.
Nothing will be collected except gar
bage, which means only refuse ami
NAL and vegetable matter, and all pa
per, tin cans, broken glass, ETC., must
be separated from the garbage. Ev-
eryone is urged to provide a covered
garbage can and to set
this out in a convenient place for the
collector on Mondays and Fridays.
1t is unlawful for anyone to collect
without a permit from the
Board of Health, and for this reason
The Board requests that the people re-
fuse to give garbage to anyone ex-
;ept as they are authorized by the |
Board of Health, by special permit. |
o make collections. Collections are |
icing made without cost to the town
II Milford, and it is requested that the
,arbage be separated and given only
o authorized collectors, since the
Ian cannot succeed unless this is
one.

dopted by the Board of Health on
April IA, 1915, to the effect that no
arbage, decayed or offensive vege-
able matter, be deposited by any per-
on at any place within the town of
lilford. The regular collection of q
arbage will leave no excuse for any i
ne throwing garbage about the town. I
II individuals from whom garbage is
Dt regularly collected are asked to q
)tify the collector. {

Want LOWER RATES
TO REHOBOTH BEACH

The restoration of the 16-day tickets
and Of all other old railroad rates was
asked for in the communication auth

OF Rehoboth Beach, at their regular
meeting last Saturday. 1t asked es-
pecially that the rates between Reho-
both Beach, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington be the same as last
year
1t is thought the increased charge
by the railroad for tickets to Rehoboth
Beach has kept a great many people
away from that place, and that a re-
turn to the old rates would bring
more people here than ever before.
Bids were asked to remove the old

POTATO MARKET Low.

The low water mark of the white
potato crop came last week when
buyers offered but fifty cents a barrel
to Georgetown growers. Farmers de.
clared that such a price would not
pay the cost of digging and of barrels
and that they would leave them in the
ground to rot before they would dig
them. Most growers have plowed a
furrow on top of the rows so that the
potatoes will keep indefinitely.

The chemical engine will cost be-
tween $25O0 and $4,000, and it is to be
hoped that the balance will soon be
secured so that the chemical engine
may be purchased in the near future.
All those desiring to make donations
to this fund should notify Fire Chief
w. E. ROyds or Frank VanGesel."
If the town of Harrington can ac-
complish the above results, the town
of Milford should have no trouble
whatever in making an even better
showing. The Milford firemen have
started a campaign to raise funds for
a chemical engine, and the suggestion
is offered that they purchase an auto
mobile and sell chances on it the same
as the Harrington firemen. This can
be done, and a good sum secured to- |
wards the apparatus. Milford is badly |
in need of such an apparatus, and the
sooner that it gets it the better off
the town will be. The Chronicle
stands ready to aid in pushing the
plan by giving it publicity.

advising all young women who are en-
gagged to men with the tobacco habit to
break with them Immediately, DR..
Charles Z. Pease of New York, presi-
dent of the Non-Smokers Protective
League of America opened the first
annual convention of that organization
here with three persons in his audi
ence. One was a real delegate, the
second was a press agent looking for
job, and the third reporter.
No woman can afford to occupy
the same room with "a man who
smokes said DR.. Pease today "A
wife for the good of future generations
should insist on her husband living by
himself in another part of the house.
1 am in favor of every wife forcing
her husband to smoke on the back
doorstep. He should not be allowed to
smoke in the house. If we don't stop
this smoking business our jails are
going to be CVercrOwded."
Mrs. Wilson, the delegate, urged
men to boycott the women who smoke
or drink cocktails.
She declared that cigarettes and
cocktails were getting a hold on col
lege girls and that something must be
done to counteract this.
