CONCRETE WORK FINISHED
ON THOMPSONVILLE ROAD
New Highway VIII Be Opened To
Public About First OF Year.

[The last section of concrete was
laid on the Thompsonville Road in
Milford Neck last week. The con-
tractors are now busy building the
shoulders on the road, and expect to
complete the work early in the COM
ing year; provided the weather is
such that they may work steadily
on the job/ The new highway has
been open for some time at the
eastern end, but the bridge over the
stream on the DR.. Rhodes farm held
up work on the upper end until the
bridgewOrk was completed. The
opening of the new road will shorten
the distance to Thompsonville con-
siderably. 1t practically cuts Mil
ford Neck in half, and will give the
residents of both sides of the neck
an outlet during the worse weather.
Milford Neck has been badly in need
of the road for years. While the
shoulders on the road will not be
completed for about two months, the
contractors will open the highway
to the public shortly after Christ
mas. The distance to Bowers
Beach will be very much shortened
by the new road.

JOHN A. LINGO DIES
SUDDENLY AT REHOBOTH
Member Of General Assembly Is
Thought To Have Taken Poison -

John A. Lingo, aged So years.
member of the Legislature and
merchant at Rehoboth, died Monday
morning. The death of Mr.. Lingo
was sudden.
DE-. Walter P. Robinson, of Lew
es, was summoned, when Mr.. Lingo
became seriously i'll at his home.
He started with Mr.. Lingo to the
Beebe Hospital at Lewes in an auto
mobile but he died before reaching
that institution.
DR.. Robinson expresses the oDin-
ion that death was due to accidental
poisoning. He said the supposition
was that Mr.. Lingo swallowed bv
mistake quantity Of lysol solution,
disinfectant. He said Mr.. Lingo
was unconscious when he first saw
him and remained so until he died.
Mr.. Lingo was a member of a
prominent Sussex family that for
years had been active in business
and political affairs of the county.
The deceased was a Republican and
served in the House during the last
session of the Legislature from his
district and consequently was a
member of the Legislature at the
time of his death.
Mr. Lingo was chairman of the
Rehoboth Jetty Commission created
under an act of the last Legislature
and which commission is now build
ing several additional jetties along
Rehoboth Beach. He is survived BY
his wife and six children.

pany. He was a member of Jefter-
son Lodge A. F. and A. M. of Lewes,

BIG REDUCTION
In TYPHOID FEVER
But Seven Cases In November As
Compared With Forty For The
Month Of October.

A most gratifying reduction in the
number of cases of typhoid fever are
reported throughout Delaware dur
ing the month of November, accord
ing to reports made to the State
Board of Health. AS compared with
October, when forty cases were re-
ported, most of them being in Sus-
sex county, the number for NoVem-
ber fell off to seven cases, of which
three were in New Castle, three in
Kent and one in Sussex. When ques-
toned about the origin of the cases
and the efforts put forth by his de-
partment to trace and check the dis
ease, DR.. Arthur Davis, executive
secretary of the Board Of Health,
said:
Most of the cases were isolated,
occurring on farms and in the rural
sections. If the cases had been in
one town or city, then it would have
assumed the proportions of an epi-
demic, but being scattered, it was
more difficult to trace the origin.
However, in a majority of instances
the trouble arose from contaminated
water and unfit sanitary conditions
about the farm.
MANY towns and cities are ar
ranging to improve their water and
sewage systems and we hope that
within the next two or three years
many such improvements will have
been made"
Records Are Valuable
In tracing the cause of typhoid
fever and all other diseases, the
State Board of Health is assembling
some very valuable information that
is at the service Of any one in the
state who may be interested. Each
case in each year is being marked
on what is known as "spot" maps of
the state. These cases, year by
year, can be found readily through |
the use of these maps, and an in
spection Of the maps for the past |
four or five years show that the dis
ease has been prevalent in about the
same sections, almost year by year.
This information will be of great |
benefit for the next session Of the |
legislature in the way of any

Friday They Endorsed Du POnt
Building Program,
URGE BEETLE FIGHT

Until Pest Is Wiped Out Of
Delaware.

The Delaware State Grange closed
its three day session at Dover last
Friday afternoon after receiving
final reports and the approval of
some OF the suggestions presented by
Governor Robinson, State Master, in
his annual address.
These recommendations in the
Worthy Masters address, approved
by the Grange in the closing session
included endorsement of the Grange
educational fund and the request
that each grange pledge $40 to same;
educational program of the State,
and the system of collection of taxes
as recommended by P. S. DUPONT,
the newly appointed State Tax Com
missioner; endorsement of larger
increase in membership in the
Oranges during the year.
H. E. Phillips, H. R. Walker and
Frank Yearsley were appointed
committee to revise the bylaws of
the State Grange and report at the
next meeting.
A resolution regarding the Japan

ed as follows:
Whereas, We realize the menace

which was adopted. This report rec

FARMERS PAY FINES
FOR FAILURE TO PAY
TAXES ON THEIR DOGS
Each Owned Two Dogs And Had
Failed To Settle With Game
Wardens.
RESULT WAS EXPENSIVE
Both Men Paid Fines Of Over
Seven DOllars--'Tax Only Two
Dollars.

Herman Sharp, who resides at the
eastern side of Milford, and Joseph
Shockley, who resides about three
miles from Milford, on the concrete
highway leading to the Brick Gran
ary, are well-known farmers of
northeastern Sussex county. Each
own two dogs, on which the laws of
Delaware direct that an annual tax
or one dollar each shall be paid:
but each man had refused to nav
the annual tax-one even going so
far as to state publicly that he new
er would pay the tax.
The State Game Wardens for Sus-
sex County are compelled to gather
IN the dog tax" annually. and as
the year 1925 is nearing an end.
they came to Milford and entered n
case against Mr.. Sharp and Mr..
ohockley and warrants for their
arrest were issued.
Constable Ingram brought the
Two men into the Court of ESQUIRE
dendrlxsOn last Tuesday morning,
n Milford, and they were given a
hearing. Shockley wanted time to
get advice Of his lawyer, which the
squire granted; but, in about one
lour thereafter each man had sub
nltted their case to the Squire
without further effort to fight the
State of Delaware.
Mr.. Sharp was fined $7.S5 which
le pa1d-also he paid the two dol
ars dog tax" for the year 1925,
Which will carry authority to keep
wo dogs until the first of January,
926, without further costa little
DVer two weeks.
Mr.. Shockley paid $7.65 and se-
'ured the annual license for 1925
or his two dogs also.
1t certainly is poor business on
he part of any person to attempt
o beat the State out of its just and
egal dues in the form of taxes. The
ak on dogs has come to stay, like
ther taxes, so it is best to nav
hem promptly and save trouble.

CHRISTMAS SAVINGS IDEA
IS GROWING In MILFORD
Local Banks Say That More Are
Joining New Clubs Than Before

That the citizens of Milford know
a good thing when they see it is at
tested by the greatly increased num-
ber of individual members to the
three Christmas Clubs now in exist
enct in this town. This year the
three clubs operated by the Milford
Trust Company, the First National
Bank and the L. D. Caulk Company
paid out to their members a total of
S59,2O0 in cash which they had saw
ed during the present year, by MAX
ing small weekly payments into the
clubs This was a growth of sew
eral thousands of dollars over the
corresponding date last year. Com
ing at the holiday season the pro-
ceeds from these savings funds fill
many club member with happi-
ness, and provide the means of
Christmas shopping, tax paying and
hundreds of other needs which re-
quire ready cash. Since the first Of
December the lists for the First Ma
tional Bank and the Milford Trust
Company club funds have been open
for those who desired to enroll as
mOIuD0ISs Liz Cdu1k CluD Will
start its club fund Immediately af-
ter Christmas. Reports from both
of the local banks say that the num-
ber of individual club members has
very materially increased this year
over that of last season. Not only
have the numbers increased, but the
older members are increasing the
size of their weekly deposits, there
by insuring themselves Of a larger
income from that source for next
Christmas season. These clubs are
excellent mediums for saving reg
ularly, while at the same time the
is paid interest for the
use of his money. The idea is grow
ing in Milford, and all are benefited |
by the spread of the idea.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonder
fui effect. BY asking at any drug store
for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Cone
pound" von viii get a large bottle of
this old-tine recipe, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, ali ready
70 use, at very little cost. This sim
pie mixture can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
Well-known druggists say everybody
uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound now because It darkens SO natar-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell II
has been applied-it's so easy to use
too. You simply dampen a comb or
soft brush and draw It through your
hair, taking strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears. ar
scr another application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful.
