 "Try Sulferro-Sol, one of my neigh bors said and we did, and it proved to be the greatest blessing for us. Before he had taken the first bottle there was the greatest change in him and he continued to improve right along and now he is we'll and going back to work.
 "We all regard Sulferro-Sol as a most wonderful mericne for it seems to have come to us when nothing else could have saved my husband. We feel that we owe this remedy a debt of deep gratitude and we recommend it whenever we get a chance"

Club Women Drop
Movie Censorship Bill

Miss Emily P. Bissell has re-
Gently announced that the State
Federation of Women's Clubs
would not have introduced and
would not advocate in the present
Legislature a bill providing for a
censorship of moving pictures to
be exhibited in this state. Mem
bers of the Executive Committee
of the Federation and of the New
Century Club of Wilmington have
had such a bill under considera-
tion for several weeks, providing
that pictures approved by the CEN
sors of Pennsylvania or Maryland
would be acceptable for exhibit
tion in Delaware.
After two conferences with the
moving-picture theatre managers
and producers of Wilmington the
club women decided not to advo-
cate a censorship law at present
Miss Bissell said the club women
felt that they did not care to put
their stamp Of unqualified appro.
val on the censors of Pennsyl
vania and Maryland because they
are subject to political changes
which might lower their stand
ards.

Interesting Bits Of History AS
Related By DR.. Purnell

Through the courtesy of Mr.. J.
H. Hossinger, this office has receiv-
ed copy of the Weekly Times,
published in Philadelphia under
date of September l, 1877. The
first page of the paper contains an
article written by DR.. w. H. Pur-
nell, at that time president of Della
ware College, which relates chap
ters of unwritten history in the
struggle of the Unionists in 1860
and 81, to keep Maryland in the
Union. DR.. Purnell was post
master of Baltimore by appoint
ment of President Lincoln. He
also raised the Purnell Legion as
part of Maryland's quota of
Union troops. Colonel Purnell was
trusted friend Of Mr.. Lincoln and
an adviser of the war governor of
Maryland. Prominent in the STIR
ring scenes of those days, he knew
we'll the story he told, and the
article affords a valuable bit of
history. The first installment fol-
! lows:

Judge itself, teacheth that the in

making or wooing of it, the know

Taxpayers of this community at

Opera House on Monday evening,
under the auspices of the Taxa
tion Revision Committee. DR..
Caleb R. Layton and Robert G.
Houston. of Georgetown, th
speakers, urged the public, men
and women, to see that two bills
now before the Legislature-the
Graduated Inheritance Tax, and
the Equalization Tax, be passed.
DR.. Layton dwelt upon the eff
f ect of Delaware's antiquated
taxation laws, as applied to Edu-
cation and Estates. Look at
Education" he said. Zone of the
oldest states Of the Union. close
to the Atlantic seaboard, right
next to our oldest civilization,
with in Sussex county, after $50
years of settlement, only $50 for
eign born; with no insuperable
or abnormal condition to contend
with; with all our history back OF
us, and yet rated as the thir,
teenth most ignorant state in the
Union! And exactly in proper,
tion to our intelligence is oul
government. Delaware has re-
manned stationary, she has failed
to keep pace with her neighborE
because she has neglected pri
mary education.
Then there is the question o,
Estates. Do we provide as Hi
nois by statewide commission
to go into every home after th
death of the bread winner, an,
find out what financial and tenn
poral conditions prevail? Do W.
from the states munifcenc
when necessary provide for thos
little children. in order that the,
may be kept at home and in thei
mothers arms? In Delaware W
send such people to the aims
house. The state of Illinois look
at the question from a progress

children even in the poores

and she keeps them away fro1
