$50 YEARS AGO TODAY
BY JONATHAN A. RAWsON. JR.
Story of the j. S. A.

Twelve colonies supported the reso-
luton. New York refrained from
voting because of lack of instructions,
although u majority of its members
favor the resolution. The South
Carolina members voted aye, although
without instructions. Morris and
Dickinson of Pennsylvania absented
themselves, and Wilson turned in
favor of the resolution, making that
colony's vote 8 to in the affirmative.
A thrilling climax to the long Strug
gle over the resolution was the ar
rival of Caesar Rodney from Dover,
just in time to join Thomas Mexican
and register DelaWare'S vote to |
in the affirmative. There was deep
silence in the hall when Rodneys
name was called. Unexpectedly to
many of the members, he answered,
and he said:
LAS L believe the voice of my con-
stituents and of all sensible and
honest men is in favor of independ-
ence and my own judgment concurS
with them, 1 vote for independence.
The express rider whom Mexican
sent for Rodney yesterday reached
Dover and Rodney arrived here with
IN II DeTlOu VI ~ llOlti tilC o"AhtS'I
saddle horses which. could be found
along the 80.mile journey being EN-.
ployed by Mr.. Rodney and the eX-
press rider.
While there is regret that New
York did not come along today with
all the others, her silence is no longer
regarded as "A negative. Her delegates
hope for favorable instructions not
later than next week.
Congress has now turned its atten-
ton to Thomas Jefferson's draft of
the declaration. which will be pub
lished with today's resolution as a
statement of the causes which have
brought about the separation from
Great Britain. The debate on the dec
laration may continue for two or
three days. Minor amendments may
be introduced, but today's adoption Of
the Lee resolution virtually assures
the passage of the declaration without
serious opposition.

CHAPTER v.
The Bottom Rung.

Before she knew it Leila was pour
ing out her story to this stranger
she had only just met. But there
was something about Mary Brandt
that invited condolences, and she
heard Leila to the end. The she
squared her shoulders characteristic
ally.
We'll, let's be practical You say
YOU can't ask YOUR family lawyer for
any more money. Couldn't you Dor
row il from him and then pay him
back later? Just enough to live on
while you're putting yourself through
a course in stenography and type
writing, IL wouldn't be much.
Leila hesitated OF course she could
do that, but somehow she hated the
idea. Besides, hadn't he warned her?
Hadn't he tried to impress upon her
the seriousness of her position? II
WAS her own fault that she had sim
ply dribbled the money away. She
couldn't go back and ask him for
more It was out of the question.
I'D rather not" she said finally.
You see, I've cut myself off from my
friends. and | hate going back"
Don't you think that's false pride?
You can't afford to be proud. you
know, not in YOUR position
I'D rather do almost anything than
go to Mr.. Hemingway"
"Anything?"
Yes" LeilaS tone was suddenly
firm, yes, anything. if l could make
a living wage"
There was a sudden CLINT in Mary
Brandt's dark eyes. She rather liked
the girls attitude in this matter; she
hadn't expected it. either, this strain
of iron in one so soft and untried.
Quickly she turned to the large
book on her desk. After n moment
she spoke. You could 90 into q
department store, but being inexperi.
enced, you'd have to start at the
notion counter or in the basement.
With your inexperience | doubt if
you could make ends meet. OF
course, if you knew some Girl who
split expenses YOU might manage, but
it would he the only way"
Leila did not speak She had an
idea that Mary Brandt had something
else in mind. something she was wait
ing to spring on her and sure enough,
in moment the older woman went
on speaking:
You said you would he willing TO

morning for a lady's maid. I haven't

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Badly Fed Baby Rebels.

Mrs. A. l.. NJ. writes: MY nine
months old baby boy weighs 10
pounds and weighed eight at birth.
have weaned him and he is being
fed - ounces of milk, eight ounces
of water and eight tablespoons Of
prepared food. lie gets eight ounces
of this four times a day, and also
some vegetable and cereal.
do you think four feelings day
al his age is enough? He never
wants to eat. and l always have to
amuse him in order TO get him to
take his bottle. and then much of
the time he throws up every bit he
takes. | never give him over table
spoon of vegetable or cereal at d
time. People tell me should not
force him TO eat when he refuses it.
'He has three teaspoons of cod
liver oil daily. He always sleeps
much better az night if he does
throw up his I O'Clock feeding. ] am
puzzled to know what TO do"
Answer-It is strange that YOU
have never thought OF the one thing
which is so obviously at fault. The
eight tablespoons Of prepared food is
putting so much extra nourishment
in the child's formula that he is be
ing overfed. Diverted babies are sell
dom hungry. They quite senSlbly
show lack of appetite. This is IA
food that is entirely sugar (Starch),
and should be eliminated now. es
ecially as the baby is getting good
bit Of 'N's element in his cereal and
vegetable. aziWf
Sc the same formula you are now
using, and feed four times daily and
not at night, Instead of the prepared
food use one tablespoon of sugar
daily in the formula. Give the cereal
night and morning and the vegetable
at O'Clock. | believe the baby. at
least after the first day or two, won't
need TO he urged to eat.
Mrs. S. o. writes: why is ii my
seven-month-ol baby will stand up
to the side of his bed and crawl every
where. but cannot sit alone?
AnsWer-If seven-month baby
cannot sit alone it is likely due to
ric',ets. I'm that case / strongly urge
you not to let him stand and crawl.
Put him out of doors every day. See
that he gets direct sunlight for at
least Is minutes a day Give him
three teaspoons of cod liver oil daily,
and be sure his diet is correct. Send
for the weaving and feeding leaflet
suitable for that age.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Cancer.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
good. although not very favorable Tor
any new enterprise or undertaking.
They promise, however, a marked in
f1uenCe on the better emotions. In the
evening they are rather colorleSS and
do not Indicate anything of a very de
finite character. 1t will prove to be
valuable opportunity for mental re-
view. or for future planning. 1t Is
also an suspicious occasion for travel.
Above all else, however. the signs
clearly denote much happiness and
contentment for all those that marry
or for those that plight their troth.
Children born tomorrow will, given
proper Authorization and plenty of out
door air, go through infancy with NY
ing COlors. and this immunity to early
sickness will enable them successfully
70 combat the ailments that, according
to the signs, will affect them between
adolescence and adulthood. Their
characters will in their early years be
weak Their natural intelligence will,
however, come to their rescue and
save them, in later life. from those pit
falls which always await those that
lack determination and mental cour-
age. They will be progressive in their
ideas and rather too keen to attempt
the new before having tried out the
old They will, however, be ever ready
To profit by experience and retrace
their steps. whenever it may be neces-
Sary to do so.
If tomorrow is your birthday. your
nature is kindly and sympathetic. You
are intuitive self contained, and
rather opinionated You have great
confidence in yourself and can rarely
see that your failures are result of
your own inefficiency. You, apparent
ly, derive much comfort from the set
ting-up of alibis. You are always will
ing TO give advice. You very rarely
heed it, In some Of your views you
are extreme and can see no good or
justification in an opinion that is con-
trary to your own. You are not liked
as we'll by your own sex as by the OPP
posite. You are a convincing talker,
although too disposed to lay down the
law, as though your dictum were the
last word to be said. You become very
emphatic over trivtalities and your
audience sometimes wonders what IT
is all about" You are studious, fond
Of travel. and, on the whole. you Sc
cure for yourself, rather than give to
others, much enjoyment out of life,
Well known persons born on that
date are: Samuel Huntington, turist, OF
Connecticut; Henry Hitchcock. law
yer: David MEG. Smyth. inventor;
Henry Inlnan. soldier and author:

My Neighbor Says:

Instead of greasing your
bread after taking it from the
oven, try greasins IT before you
put it in, and see how much
nicer and softer it is.
To bleach handkerchlefs.
towels. etc, soak them over
night in Il solution of one-haf
teaspoon of cream of tartar to
each quart of water.
While Il gas stove must be
kept clean both inside and out,
il should never be blaCkened,
for the reason that the heat is
insufficient to absorb backing.
consequently it only rubs off
again, and the particles must
go somewhere about the room
or into clothes or clothing.
Get a cheap teapot to melt
paraffln in and always keep 1t
for this purpose. Once tried,
you will never do without it.
The melted paraffin pourS
easily just where it is wanted,
and need not be used all at one
time.
When making an apple pie,
simmer the peel and cores to-
gether until soft. then strain
the juice into the pie plate,
making the pie in the usual
way. This greatly improves
the flavor.
Silver should be washed in
clean hot water, as soap dulls
the polish.
Cold meats may be attrac-
lively served by removing all
gristle, bones and skin and en-
cess fat, and then pouring over
the meat any desired hot sauce.
