insist on discipline from the ca
diets as to drills, and those who
fail in this respect will be proper
ly punished which punishment will
be extra drill periods. He pointed
out that all cadets could make the
work easy by obeying orders and
working together with him. If they
fail in this he said it would make
it hard for him but he in return
would make it hard for them.

in Dover and who some years age
was an officer in the Organized
Militia of Delaware, arrived II

BOARD OF HEALTH
DISCUSSES CLEANUP
Nuisances Reported And Con
demned

The Board of Health at its rogu-
lar meeting on Friday evening con-
tinued plans of the Health cam
paign. In view Of so many sewer
connections ordered the advisable
ity of calling for out-of-toWn
plumbers to assist in the work.
The plan originally was to re-
frain from this but local men are
booked for orders practically for
months and it is being considered
whether it would be advisable to
call in extra help, at least temper
arily. No action, however, was
taken.
Additional notices to dealers in
foodstuffs to keep their wares COW
cred, were ordered sent out. Also
some fifty different nuisances
W ere reported and condemned. Th'
lnuisances are out-closets, garbage
wastes, and sewer connections
Notices were ordered sent. I'm
mediately on arrival Of the suppl,
of chloride of lime, general tow
wide cleaning will be ordered
Leniency, except in serious cases
has been the policy. After tn
cleanup, those failing to compi
will be prosecuted was the dec
sion reached by the Board.
No new cases Of typhoid ha
been reported this week.

Potash and Phosnhates.

The agricultural department of the
University of Illinois has published an
other report dealing with the soils of
this state and the fertilizers which
they need This new investigation
like the last, shows that Illinois farm
ers need not worry about potash. With
the exception of swamp lands our soils
have all the potassium salts they need
and the addition Of more is stimu.
liant rather than a food.
What Illinois land usually does lack
is phosphorus, and the United States
has a plentiful supply of phosphate
rock. This is good news to farmers
who had been taught that the lack of
German potash would cut down their
crops. 1t tends likewise to stimulate
an American industry which was be-
ing hidden behind clever foreign ad-
vertising. BY the time this war ia
over, America will know how much
potash fertilizer it really needs. and
what the stuff Is worth on the SOIL

COUNTRY TOWN SAYINGS

A man is scared a hundred times for
every time he is hurt.
When man knows his duty, he puts
1t OFF by asking advice.
Everyone with big lot of money is
a little offensive with it.
People are usually willing to do their
duty; if there isn't too much of it.
After man gets married, he ex-
poets people to take him more seri-
ously
After a man becomes rich, he no
longer belongs to that worthy body
known as the people.
Men do meaner things than women;
but women are more ready to say
meaner things than men.
When it is generally said of man
that he doesn't work very hard, you
will find, also, that he doesn't get
along very well.
A man doesn't really know what
humiliation is until his love letters
have been read in court, and printed
in the papers.-Ed Howe of Atchison
in The Sunday Magazine.
