Danger SIGNAL.

IL the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as d fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress il than
to stop fire bell when It is ringing,
but should cure the disease that
causes the coughing. This can nearly
always be done by taking Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Many have
used 1t with the most beneficial re-
suits. 1T is especially valuable for the
persistent cough that so often follows
ia bad cold or an attack OF the grip.
Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind.
writes: During the winter my hus-
band takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is the best medicine for breaking up
these attacks and you cannot get him
to take any other" Cbtainable every
whege.--AdY.

Residents Along Second Avenue

The water consumers along Second

today owing to the necessity of re-
pairing a leak that developed between
the two streets. The heavy water
pressure necessary during the high

ADDITION TO ODD
FELLOWS BUILDING
Work in Hands of Contractor
Griffin

Work is moving alone rapidly
on the addition being built to
Odd Fellows Hall, under the
direction of Contractor Griffin.
The new part is two stories of
brick, extending six feet beyond
the width of the original build
ing, and thirty feet back. The
regular lodge meeting room will
be shifted to the back of the
building, and the second story
front, or present lodge room, be
converted into lockers, etc.
The first floor will be PARTON
ed, giving more room to the pres
ent tenants Sol Wilson and the
Telephone Company.
The latter, it is said, will use
the extra space for rest room
for their employees. The corporate
committee in charge of the i'm
provements is composed of C. w.
Colmery, and Daniel Stoll. It is
hoped to have the building COM
plete in time for the public in
stallation which comes the first
week in October.
The original building was built
by the Odd Fellows in 1850.

Local Milk Prices

Another advance in the price of
milk is reported in Philadelphia.
With notice of this advance the
blame is placed on the farmer.
Locally, the farmers are getting
4 to a 1-2 per quart and the re-
tail price in the cities has ad-
vanced from to 9 cents with not
ice of price of 10 cents. The
consumer is told that with in
crease costs of labor and demands
made by farmers that the advance
is necessary. Nothing is said of
increase cost of labor and pro-
duction of milk on the farm. Not
only is nothing said, no raise in
price has been given over previ-
Gus years. The farmer sits
quietly by doing his usual amount
of grumbling and accepts what
dealers consent to give him.
Prices of milk here are raised
and lowered according to seasons
by the dealers. No farmer has
any voice in what he shall re-
ceive for his product. Just why
is a mystery to us.

ONE HUNDRED THOU
SAND MORE FOR
DELAWARE
Gift Reaches Million Dollar
Mark

Announcement was made by H,
Rodney Sharp, chairman of the
development committee of the
board Of trustees of Delaware
College of an additional gift of
100000, to the college. This
brings the total gifts to the COL
lege, and practically all from the
same donor, who will not reveal
his identity, to $1,0O0,00O, in
round figures, within a year.
Mr.. Sharp has notified DR.. Sam
uel c. MITCHELL, president of the
college, of the additional gift
which is to be used to carry out
some work that has been planned.
Mr.. Sharp stated this morning
that when the bids were received
for remodeling the old dormitory
building, which at first it was an
ticipated would cost bou
100000, it was found that owing
to labor cost increase and other
incidentals, it would require
$4,000 more to carry out the ori-
ginal plans and an additional
$4,000 for kitchen equipment.
1t was also found that $4,000
additional would be needed for
the installation of the complete
equipment for Wolfe Hall, the
new science building now in pro-
cess of construction.
In erecting the new science
building some grading will have
to be done and it has been the
opinion of the development COM
mittee that if possible it would
be best to go ahead this summer
and do all the grading and lay out
the proposed boulevard from
Main street to the Women's Col
lege, along which boulevard fu-
ture Delaware College buildings
will be located. Bids were asked
for this work and the lowest was
$4,000.
This made total Of 100000
needed to complete work which
the committee set out to do and
it is for these purposes that the
new gift will be used.
Trustees and members of the
college faculty are elated owe,
the gift, which will assure the
carrying out of the extension
| plans to that extent this summer

Of the milk submitted by the

Immediately notified and the trou-

Rules and regulations govern

any visible dirt or sediment, nor
preservatives of any description.
The penalty for selling either
dirty or adulterated milk accord

Drug Laws is a fine Of not less
than fifty nor more than one hun
dred dollars.

to the water supply of the town
