ADVANCEMENT COLUMN.
THE NEW CITY CHARTER.

The time Is near at hand when the
people Of Bryan will be called upon to
decide by their ballou whether or not
the city IL to have q new charter. or
whether II must go on doing the best
II can under the present ancient and.
in the opinion Of many. outgrown doc
ument.
There Is a difference Of opinion
among the citizenship as to whether
or not the public welfare viii be con.
served BY the adoption Of the propos-
cd new charter. and the Eagle wants
II understood right at the beginning
Of the discussion of this subject. that
every man II entitled to his opinion
and there should be none who woold
deny him this right. or criticIse him
for the opinion he holds. II Is upon
this principle the Eagle shall proceed
in its advocacy Of the adoption Of tho
charter. We believe II wouli ne for
the best interests OF the city as q
whole and we claim sse'Tfght TO so
contend. but for him who holds a dif.
ferent opinion we have no censure.
No town has ever grown into a city
until released from the old charter
which for years has fettered ifs
growth and expansion. The old docu-
ment has met in a way our needs as
a village. but Il is not sufficient for
the opportunities and operations OF a
city.
A municipality IL similar In many
respects TO any other business con.
Germ. Any business can plod alont on
q fixed amount OF capital n properly
managed. but for growth and develop
ment 4 larger capital and broader
views and methods are needed.
Bryan has done well under the old
charter. but all must admit that the
council has been badly hampered for
the past few years. and n n new
charter had been adopted ten years
ago We would have been far in nd
vance Of what We are today.
There are number OF things sorely
needed. but which the city canno,
have under the present charter
Among them We will mention only :
few:
The one In our opinion OF supreme
importance Is a new High School
building. The present building. hai
been pronounced by all as absolutely
inadequate to meet the demands o.
the city. We can never get a new
one under our present charter. Will
new charter we can have a new
building. DO you not want your chill

An Economical Way
To Peel Potatoes

Drop washed potatoes in a vessel
of rapidly boiling water and allow
them to remain 10 minutes. Remove
and strip the thin skin as when po-
tatoes are peeled after thorough
cooking by boiling. The potatoes
will still be practically raw and may
be handled like raw peeled potatoes
in preparing any dish. as scalloped,
French or German fried potatoes,
potato chips, etc.
One excellent way to cook the
skinned potatoes is to bake them.
The entire potato. including the thin.
golden-brown crust may be eaten.
This recipe for economical peeling
of potatoes was furnished by a house.
wife and tested by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
department will be glad to have
other housewives write of thrift
practices which they have found use
full in their homes.
