CORPORATION BUSINESS IN
DELAWARE MAKES BIG GAIN
CHANGE MADE IN CHARTER
LAW CAUSES AN INCREASE
Total of Nearly Three Million Dol
largs Obtained From Fees From
the Issuing of 1884 Charters

The splendid growth of the corp
Grafton charter business in Della
ware is gratifying to Governor G.
Douglass Buck, and Secretary of
State Charles H. Grantland. Be
cause of the change made by the
General Assembly two years ago
in the charter law, the business
has greatly increased, but never so
much as this year. Secretary
Grantland estimates that more
than 100000 in excess of last
year viii be collected. Up to Oc-
tober l there had been paid into
the State from corporation tax
fees a total of $2,763, ,721.17. These
are the returns from 1884 charters.
The total amount received for the
same period last year was $780,
S36.54. This was for 4477 char
ters. 1t is estimated that in the
next three months additional funds
added to the sum already receiv-
ed will make a grand total of S3,-
100000. The receipts last year to-
tailed $1,459, ,979.74. In addition to
the corporation fees, considerable
money is received from the issu
ance of certified copies of charters
and from a filing fee with annual
reports of various corporations.
Secretary Grantland estimates that
there will be S250,000 received
from this source. Another source
of income is the franchise tax that
corporations pay for doing bust
ness under a Delaware charter
The amount to be received this
year is estimated at 2,250 900.
Nh. .Grantland who recently return
ed from a meeting of the Associa-
tion of Secretaries of State, held
in Boston, was gratified with the
compliments paid the Delaware
charter law, and the way in which
it is being administered. It was
stated that Delaware charter law
was as near 100 per cent perfect
as any such law in existence. Sec
retary Grantland is putting into
operation a new system in hand
ling the franchise tax and assess
ments in his office. The old time

changed this system, using ad-

BIOLOGY COURSE IS URGED

MEDICAL SOCIETY IN 140TH
SESSION AT FARNHURST
DIR. w. o. LaMOtte, Head of State
Medical Society of Delaware
is the Speaker at Session

DR.. w. o. La Motto, president of
the Medical Society of Delaware,
speaking Thursday at the 14Oth
annual session of that body at the
State Hospital, Farnhurst, recon-
mended that biology be taught in
the elementary schools. In explain
ing this he said that physiology as
taught in the elementary schols is
often misleading. Truth shoufe
never be feared but always sup
ported. Truth should never be
feared but 1 heard a professor of
physiology in one of the large
medical schools say he could pass
any examination in any physiologi-
cal or psychological society IN the
world but he could not pass the
examination in physiology given
the average high school, he as
serted "The medical profession
and the public" was the topic dis
cussed by DR.. La Motto and he
presented it under three general
divisions: the evolution of medicine
public opinion concerning the med
ical profession and reasons and
courses Of action. Continuing he
said, Medicine has practically con-
quered, among intelligent peoples,
the plague, cholera, yellow fever,
tetanus, typhoid fever, hookworm
diseases and pellagra and has re-
duced the mortality of tuberculos-
is and greatly reduced the death
rate of children under five years of
age. The public should know that
the principal object in organiza-
of the County Medical Society, the
State Medical Society, and the
American Medical Association is
to promote the science and art of
medicine, and the betterment of
public health They should real
ize that any methods or means
used in the treatment of the sick
is practicing medicine and that all
who follow the practice as a pro
fession should he qualified under
the same law in order that the
people be protected from the in
competent and unscruplius, DR..
LaMotte declared. Governor G.
Douglas Buck welcomed the mem
bers of the society and cornpli
mented the organization on its
long and successful career in serv-
ing humanity. He said that no
one body of men was in position
tc assist humanity suffering from
pain, or preventing them from be-
coming the victims of disease and
suffering as are the members of
this society. Humanity, he said,
from the time physicians and
surgeons started to practice scien-
tific methods of disease prevention
and the art of healing, has been in
debted to medical men and their
progress.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor journal of the American Med
icai Association and Of Hygcia,
tho Health Magazine.

The length Of our lives seems to
be determined largely by our here
dity, since those who come from
families that tend to live long also
tend to live long.
Our environment undoubtedly
plays a part. since deaths from ac-
cident. congestion of population.
speed Of civilization and infection
must be put under environmental
factors.
Scientific studies recently made on
the nutrition Of animals indicate
that the third important factor is
the amount and nature OF food In
take.
In order to prove the effects of
nutrition, Drs. II. C. Sherman and
II. J., Campbell fed 400 rats of ap-
proxiinately the same heredity and
living under conditions alike in all
other respects on two different diets,
The diets were adequate in both in
stances. except that one contained a
higher proportion of milk than did
the other.
. The animals on the diet with the
higher proportion of milk lived on
an average of 10 per cent longer than
did those with less milk. Hence, the
increased longevity may be accredit-
cd to the fact that an already ade-
quale diet was improved by addition
al quantities Of a substance known as
one Of the most important food sub
stances for the living animal.

Fen when there seems to be no
need.
Watch out. and signs of danger
heed.
---Nibbler the Mouse
Nbbler the House Mouse, to-
gether with Mrs. Nibbler and several
Farmer Browns house out TO Farm
er Browns barn early In the winter,
There had been reason. Indeed,
there had been several reasons. One
Of these reasons was Black Pussy
the Cat. The other reasons were
traps. At first. there had been only
one or two traps and it WAS easy TO
keep away from them. But more
and more traps had been set and
every other day one of the children
had been caught. So finally the
Nibblers moved out to the barn.
There there was little to worry
about excepting Black Pussy and 1t
wasn't difficult TO keep out OF her
way. To be sure. there was Robber
the Rat, who wouldn't hesitate to
dine on family Of young mice, If
he could find them. But the barn
was so big that It was easy to keep
out Of the way OF Robber.
so ever since early winter the
Nibblers had been living very happy
and comfortably They did miss the
cake and bread and bits of cheese
and other goodies such as they used
to find in Mother Browns pantry.
But. as little Mrs Nlbbler said, We
have plenty Of good plain food, so
why should We worry? After all.
1t is the plain things of life that are
the best. Simple, plain food makes
healthy mice"
50, though the children sometimes
turned up their noses at clover and
grass seed. oats wheat. corn and
meal. there was very little complain
ing and the NibbIer family was
thriving.
SO long had II been since there
was any serious danger that all Of
the Nibblers had grown careless.
Even Nibbler himself had grown
careless. Black Pussy didn't spend
much time I'm the barn. and when
she was there II was an easy matter
TO keep an eye on her II was only
the most careless Of mice who ever
was surprised and caught by Black
Pussy. BY this time the Nibblers

Of children and having them often.
No sooner is one set Of children out
Of the way than another set is born.
81 Nibbler and Mrs Nibbler had be-
come greatgreat- grandparents since
f''ev came out to the barn. You see.
their children and thei- children's
children had families Of their own.
Then, lust at dusk. a dreadful thing
happened. Nibbler had just met his
eldest son. The latter was on his
way over to the grain bin. Nibbler
had Just come from there. Nibbler
turned and watched his oldest son
rnt out on the barn floor. He had
lust reached the grain bin when he
was seized and carried away. Just
who had seized him NibbIer didn't
know. No. sir, Nibblcr didn't
know.
'Tt wasn't Black Pussy" explained
N'bbler to Mrs. Nibbler. when ho got
home with the sad news. NO, sir.
it wasn't Black Pussy. 7 couldn't
see lust who II was. Whoever II
was, seemed to come from out OF
