Get the Habit Of

Millions of folks battle internally

form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising

excellent health measure. It is in

People who feel good one day and

Just as soap and hot water act on

CONSTRUCTION OF PIT sILos
Builders Must Be Careful About PIas-
terlng-Good Sand Is Of Ut
most Importance.

Builders of pit silos should be care
full about the cement plastering. Make
the plaster of one part good sand and
21s parts Portland cement, in two
coats, each about three-quarters of an
inch thick.
Let the first set slightly before put
ting on the second. Keep it wet for a
week. If the earth walls are dry to
plaster on, wet them before plastering.
Keep the plaster shaded for several
days.

part of wisdom to punish her for kick
ing.
Kindness and gentle handling is the
only remedy. If one let's his reasoning
for the cause be based upon the prin-
ciple that she never kicked until she
was injured, the remedy will at once
suggest itself. No cow was ever brok-
ell of kicking by striking with
the stool or anything else. That prac-
tice only puts the cow on her guard,
and as one comes near her with the
stool she uses natures defense and
kicks.

BOOK RECEIVrD WITH FAVOR

A few weeks ago Dr.. Charles A.
Wagner. State Commissioner of Ed
ucation. prepared and had published
a "Parent-Teacher Handbook" whicn
he distributed broadcast. These books
we're printed at the Office of the Mil
ford Chronicle Publishing Company at
Milford. and have created such an in
terest, not only in Delaware, but in
other states. that demands for them
are extensive. For several weeks past
the Chronicle has been receiving re-
quests for these books from school
teachers. and interested persons in
Delaware and elsewhere. This week
requests have come in large numbers
from both the state of Wyoming and
the state of Montana, and each letter
stated that the writer was interested
in the work and wished to start such
an organization in their section. The
books were delivered to Commission
er Wagner by this company when
they were completed. but at his re-
quest few copies were kept here for
distribution. These have been sent to
the interested parties as they request
ed them. and are nov about gone. A
few copies are still available for those
who act quickly. The westerners
who wrote this Office stated that they
saw our imprint on them and sought
this means of getting the books.
Chronicle printing is known for great
distances, as is the Chronicle, and it
is a mark of distinction to use 1t.

CAR DAMAGED IN COLLISION WITH POLE

The automobile owned by Dr.. Sam
uel NJ. D. Marshall was damaged last
Saturday evening when il skidded and
struck an electric light pole in front
of the home of George II. Draper, Sr.
At the time of the accident Earl At
kins. owner of one of Milford's gar
ages. was driving the car on Causey
Avenue. When in front of the Draper
home the car commenced to take a
zig-zag course and Atkins was unable
to control it. After the collision it
was found that the steering gear was
smashed, the axle badly bent, the
crank case of the engine broken and
other damage done to the car. The
fact that the steering gear was brok-
en- leads to the belief that it was this
that caused the car to get away from
the driver Persons who witnessed
the affair state that they expected to
see Atkins severely injured. He was
unhurt. Had the accident occurred
a few minutes later several persons
would have been near the place where
the smash-up occurred. for the south
bound passenger train was then due.

COURT HOLDS CARRIER LIABLE

a decision of considerable interest
to the shippers in Delaware was hand
ed down by the Supreme Court of the
United States last month. By this de-
cision interstate railroads are liable
to produce shippers for any fall in the
market price of the shipments occur
ring during a negligent delay in tran
sportation. The Supreme Court held
that under the Carmack amendment
to the rate law the initial carrier was
liable for a decline in value, even
though the delay was on a connecting
carrier. 1t is said that If this law had
been in effect during the past decade
that the shippers of berries, etc.
could have recovered thousands of
dollars lost by them through some de-
lay in the arrival of their products. 1t
will probably mean better and more
efficient service on the part of all the
carriers of perishable goods.
