PRESS COMMENTS.
RIGHTS OF THE TENANT.

Eleven bills drafted upon co-ordinated
and inter-relating plan and designed to
curb rent profiteerlng in New YORK Clty,
Buffalo and Rochester, have passed the
New York State Assembly, have all been
signed by the governor and are now oper-
ativc in the cities TO which the acts apply.
Judging from the published synopsis of
these laws, they represent systematIzed
attempt to protect the renting class.
The laws are not radical or unrcason-
abIe--they, upon the whole, make for fair
playin the relationship between landlords
and tenants.
Briefly. here are some of the phases
touched by this bunch of rent laws.
When il is proposed to turn out a tenant
on the representa- on that the tenant is
objectionable, the landlord must show
the court that the tenant is objection
able" Willful failure on the part Of the
landlord to provide water. light. heat,
power or whatever other services are con-
tracted for in the lease, shall constitute
misdemeanor. Rent increases are limited
to 25 per cent year. The same defenaes
allowed in summary proceedings may be
set up in cases of ejectment. There IS An
extension of the time for notification OF the
tenant to vacate. The entire group OF
regulative laws is framed upon the idea
of adjusting the renting system upon a
give-and-take average that does not
throw all the legal featuring on the side OF
the house owner.
The laws are not framed To the pur-
pose of giving the dishonest tenant
chance to go,lge or B. avoid the obligation
of his contract. They are designed to re-
strain the gouging disposition Of persons

Ice TO be Higher This Summer.

After the unusual supplies of ice that
nature manufactured during the severe
winter through which our country has
lust passed. announcement is made that
the charges for ice will be increased during
the coming warm season. Official notice
is gwen by the leading ice company OF
New York City that the price of ice dur
ing the coming season will be 30 cents per
100 pounds, an advance of 10 cents over
last years charge. And this increase
will no doubt be generally followed all
over the country.
The explanation for this 20 per cent
increase in retail process for ice after q
winter season in which Jack Frost worked
overtime in producing his merchandise,
is that it is due entirely to increases IN
wages. Also, it is urged by the ice busines,
monopolsis that "ioe is the only family
article whose price had not been in
creased since before the war.
There may be some consolation IN this
explanation. but no solid comfort. House
holders will resent the increase at this
time. no matter what elements Of justice
there NAV be in the procedure. IL comes
at a time when patience has been ex-
hausted over the unvaryine and irritating
upward trend in price of pretty nearly
everything that goes 10 insure ordinarily
living. And coming right
after \ season during which there was an
enormous increase in the supply of nat
nral ice, il is all the more aggrsvstsng.

Town Government Held Up.

The town of Highland Falls. n. Y, is
in an administrative quandary, and the
people do not know how TO untsngie the
state of affairs that prevails. 1t was
brought about by the death of three OF
the Eve members of the Town Council
and the remaining two members, beng
less than a quorum, cannot legally per-
form anv of the duties OF the body. They
do not believe they have the power even
To FIJI the vacancies. and so adninIstra-
tive affairs. including appointments of
policemen and other officials, are at =
standstil
There was a similar experience m the
Board OF Water Commissioners of VIII
minpton. many years ago. Two OF the
three members of the board had died.
and the remaining member found himself
apparently helpless Nothing could he
done in administering the affairs Of the
department, and stsnostill was threat
ened. Bv the law as IL then existed, the
remaining members filed vacancies ad
interim.
Acting upon legal advice, the remain
ing Water Commissicner-the late James
Carmichael. We believe-'took the bull

pointed William r Porter and Christian

as thus constituted went 10 work and

At Milford Wednesday night. Young
Mems Democratic Club was organised
with large membership of the young
voters of the town and neighborhood.
1t was well officcrcd, and will take an
active interest in this years State cam
paign.
Recently club was formed in Will
mington. composed of Young men who
will this year cast their maiden votes,
and who have decided to affiliate with
the Republican party. We hope to see
First Voters Democratic Club organized,
also. One was organized in the campaign
of 1892 which is still recalled. by reason of
the interest in political work taken by
the members, and the valuable service they
rendered the party.
1t is good thing for young men to
take an active interest in politics. They
come to the service OF their party and to
active participation in its management
and concerns, clean-handed. cloan-mind-
ed and full of eager desire to do real and
patriotic service. Their influence is all to
the good-for themselves and for their
political party. And they thereby gain
instruction in party procedure and IN
formation in respect of public question
and the policies of government that will
prove valuable 70 them and make them
better and more responsible citizens.
So let us have the young men in poll
tics. II will do them good. And for the
reasons VIC have stated it viii be good for

APRIL.


With April comes the feeling
that winters hit the ceiling, and
spring at last is here; we are not
always freezing. or catching cold
and sneozing, and flu germs disaD-
pear. The winters grim and dreary,
It makes us sad and weary, it fills
our bones with aches; but April
is enchanting, and we begin our
planting, and plying hoes and rakes.
The winters knell is tolling, and
naught is more consolIng than is
the breath of spring; there's solace
in its breezes, and men are simply
cheeses who do not dance and
sing. The tumblebug is turnbhng,
the bumblebees are bumbling. the
grass is getting green; this fact
appeals To reason; there is no better
season for burning gasoline. Oh,
April is hummer, she is the cheer
ful conner who gets the welcome
sign; though sometimes wet and
windy, inclined to raise a shindy,
her curves are mostly fine She
shows that winters ended, for she
is not attended by snow and ice and
sleet; with cold she's never stung US,
and so she lands among us with
both her queenly feet

NEEDFIRE OLD FOLK CUSTOM
Part of the Ritual of Publication That
Has Survived in Scotland Until
Recently.

In folk custom, needfre is fire kim
died by friction of two sticks OF wood
or Of a rope on Il wooden stake to
ward off demons of disease. Among me
many customs AMI beliefs connected
with fire one of the most impol tant is
that of ritual publication. The new
fire is supposed TO regenerate, rs fire
sacrifice is designed TO sustrin, the
invisible beings. Needfire is prac-
tice, usually, of shepherd peoples to
ward off disease from the flockS. In
historic times the sparks for kindIing
the needfire were obtained by twiFling
wooden peg around n wooden post.
AS IN the case of new fire, the need
fire was almost always accompanied
with the eXtinguishing of the fires OF
the locality, and the neighbOrs also
rekindled their fires from ii as i'm the
new fire ceremony. In practice. the
people passed, or the herds were driv-
en- through or between the flames of
the needfire for publication. The need
fire custom survived in the highlands
Of Scotland until recent date, and
probably traces of this superstition
still exist in parts of Europe.

Runaway" Canary Glad to Be Back

Mrs. Robert Tomlnson OF Martins
Vile has canary that answers to
the name Of Woody. relates the Indi-
annapolis News. Last fall the bird es-
capped from the cage and flew away.
Immediately the whole town was
asked To keep its fgurative eye on
Woody. He was reported here and
there. feeding with the town sparrows
Mrs. Il. would call up and say that she
had seen him, hut by the time his
owner came he was gone.
For whole month Woody cavorted
around with the pests of the neighbOr-
hood. Then dark, rainy days began
to dawn. Still Woody stayed with the
sparrows. A nelghbor called up from
the other side of the town one day
and said that Woody was sitting
around in her trees, the very picture
of despair. There is little doubt that
he was thinking Of his warni cage
at home. SO his owner hied herself
over to the spot and hung his cage
in one of the trees. Then she went
in to gossip. The rain continued to
fall and presently Woody hoped into
his cage and the tragedy was over,
for that night he had his regular warm
spot in the dining room.

your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild. harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from 1t 500 grains of acid and
waste. so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots OF water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in.
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.
