Thin Men and Women

reason is Just this. You cannot get fat no
matter how much you eat unless your diges
tive organs assimiate the fat-making ele

out through the body as waste.
What is needed is a means OF gently urg
ing. the assimilative functions Of the stomach
and intestines TO absorb the oils and fats
and hand them over 20 the blood where
they may reach the starved, shrunken, run
down tissues and build them up. The thin
person's body is like a dry sponge-eager
and hungry for the fatty materials Of which

WILL RECONSIDER
Leasing WHARFAGE
Council May Allow Trenton
Boat Line to Have
Landing Here
OFFER TO PAY FOR
USE OF PROPERTY

City Council, It was announced at
a meeting of that body as a commit
tee of the whole last night will re-
consider the offer of a Trenton Boat
Company to lease a part of the water
front of the Christiana River for use
as wharf for boats plying between
this city and Trenton. Due to a mis-
understanding, it was announced after
last weeks Council meeting that the
request had been refused and the mat
ter closed. The company has offered
to pay the city 800 a month Tor the
use Of the site
A representative of the company ap-
peared before Council, but at that
time there appears to have been false
impression gained by some cf the
members as to just what they propos-
ed doing. Their offer will be placed
in writing and forwarded to Council,
probably TO be read at tonights meet
ing.
The company intends to establish a
steamboat line between Trenton and
Salem. ~ j., their boats to make stops
at all points along the Delaware
River between these two cities. The
company seeks a landing in Whining
ton and they have selected the citys
water front as the most advantageous
place.
At present part of this land along
the Christisna River is used as a pub
lie park, and il is the intention to
convert the remaining portion into a
park. The steamboat company asks
for permission to use all that stretch
.f
bridge to the Pusey and Jones Com
pany's plant, which is owned by the
city with the exception of one small
strip.
In return for this lease, the COM
pany agrees to pay the city a rental
of 500 a month. They say they will
dredge the river along the entire front
and will build a suitable wharf at their
own expense They ask for about so
feet back from the river on which to
build suitable storehouses and
freight depots The remainder of the
city land they say they will grade,
plant with grass and trees and 1T up
as an ideal city park, all at their own
expense. and that they will maintain
this park land at their own expense
for three years, at the end of which
time they agree to turn over TO the
city the care of the park lands so
created
They claim that they are asking
nothing from the city for which they
are not willing TO pay literally and
that the city will lost nothing by the
project. In addition to their own land
ing they say they will furnish 4 place
where truckers boats from southern
New Jersey towns can land in viii
mington and thereby bring direct 10
the city markets the products of the
farms Of the most fertile part Of the
neighboring State, thereby pleutifully
supplying local markets and no doubt
reducing prices Of all produce.

CONYICTs AND ROAD WORK.


III HE New Castle County Levy Court has before
It in concrete form the proposition Of the trus-
tees of the New Castle County Workhouse relative
TO the employment Of convicts the county roads
within easy transportation distance OF that institution
Il should be considered carefully and disposed Of in
telligently and unsehshly.
In nutshell the trustees offer to supply the convics
at rs head per day and to employ the guards
free OF expense to the county The gangs would work
under the supervision OF the County Engineer.
II developed at a meeting Of the Levy Court Tues
day that the commissioners representing dis
from the Workhouse objected the sys-
tenn on the ground that the whole benefit arising from
such employment would go to the districts close to
that institution. Another objection that the
county already paving the trustees forty cents day
for the keep OF each convict the rate OF seveny-hve
cents a day for their labor excessive. r. Allen
Hles one of the trustees met the latter objection
quickly He said the forty cents day must be paid
anyway and that therefore the county would be getting
convict road workers for seventy-hve cents day
against the e'workers now used at $150 day.
Nor do we think It would be amiss to suggest that
tho objections Of the remote districts might be
come by an agreement that such districts should
coive as much road improvement work through tree
labor the nearby districts receive through convict
labor. II such an agreement entered into It
would quickly dispose of any objection from those
districtz..

Just why II was necessary 10 go 10 the great ex-
pense OF organizing new Secret Service is clear
During the last year of President Roosevelts admins
traton he severely criticised by REPRESENTATIVE
Tawney, Chairman Of the Appropriations Committee

vice. Since then new Secret Service has been or
ganzed in the Department Of Justice at great expense
and now another is organized in the Treasury Depart
ment and all to collect revenue which is wholly in
sufficient to run the government
One of the chief characteristics Of this sdminstra

(From the Louisville courier-Jour

Whether Mr.. Bryan means to take

text. contemplates a rumpus and a
bolt, the future will disclose.
He has shown himself capable Of
any folly not to say treachery. The

there were nothing else, sufficiently
attest the disingenuous in his char
acter. II is known that he had been
grinding his teeth with rage for
