 Elimination Bouts

On March IA, next the American Legion will stage an "all-star' smoker, beginning an elimination tournament leading to picking out standing men in the lightweight and welter divisions of Southeast Alaska, is was announced today by Matchmaker Dolan of the Vets Fight Club.

LOSE FAT Safely and Quickly

Kruschen Salts-(a perfect com bination of the six mineral salts your body should have to function properly) purify your blood of harmful acids, and aid the kidneys and bowels to throw off waste ma- terial-the continual formation of which is probably the cause of your fat.
 In this modern age of living, it's impossible to get these salts from the fancy foods you eat-but don't worry just as long as you have Kruschen Salts.
 Take a half teaspoonful every morning before breakfast in a glass of hot water-little by little that ugly fat disappears, you'll feel bet ter than ever before-years young CT, more energy. You'll soon pos sess that enviable beauty, clear skin, sparkling eyes, superb figure which only perfect health can i'm part.

Now that the United States Golf association has eliminated the sand wedge, the club will become as un- popular as contraband during pro- hibition.
 Buffers who wondered dim y what the new tool was all about are racing around to the club pros to find out if they can't land one before it's too late. A young Con- necticut pro promised to see if he couldn't fill the order.
 "I'll do what I can," he promised "but I can't guarantee to get you one. I've got orders for about 20 already"

It will be a long time before the heavyweight division produces an- other champion of Max Schmeling' s ability to tangle himself in contro- versies and alienate the powers that be in the fistic world.
 Inbad the Sailor is again on American shores. fresh from the German homeland, and he has leaped apparently right out of the frying pan into the fire. To add to the outlawry edict voted upon him by the New York State Athletic commission md the deposition warning served upon him by the National Boxing association, Der Max whiled away the time on ship board jousting with the German Boxing commission, the last of his allies.
 Schmeling holds frequent speech es with the press. He holds the high record of one clash with some one per speech. Before he sail ed for New York on the Europa he remarked for publication that the home functionaries seemed in terested in the welfare of German boxers only when the commission was in need of funds. The Ger man commission rose indignantly and wirelessed him warning against 'prejudicing the prestige of German boxing abroad.
 If the German board holds its peeve, Max will become boxing Man Without A Country. New York state won't have him after his managerial difficulties and re- fusal to fight Jack Sharkey again He is signed to fight Bill StriD- ling in Illinois in June, and they're drafting suits out there to keep hin out of the state. The N.B.A. was ready to declare him null and voic for failure to defend his title.
 It looks like a short reign and z boisterous one for Der MaXie.

WORE CITIFIEn

The census of 1880 shows that the
United States is becoming more citi-
fled. The people living in cities,
which are classified as urban COM
munities, now include 5G.2 per cent
of the population, while those living
in such communities numbered only
51.4 per cent 10 years ago.
The census bureau classes as cit
les all towns of $4,000 inhabitants or
more, so it is not true that the ma
jority of the American people. are
becoming residents of congested
communities. Towns of 25OO to 25.-
600 people may be classed as cities.
but the people know each other too
well to be like the Heterogeneous
masses of strangers gathered in a
city of half million or more popu-
lation. ..,.l:
The tendency of millions of peoplc
to drift into great cities is generally
regretted, yet it keeps on for various
reasons good and poor. Some people
drift into those communities because
they like the stir and excitement of |
a big place. They want some home |
where they can find a new entertain
ment every night. Yl
Or they dream they can find bet
er business opportunities there,
when practically they reduce their
;hance of success by going among
complete strangers. f'.nt
The smaller cities and fair sized
owns, including such, as Milford,
epresent ideal conditions. There
re people and resources enough so
hat needed advantages can be need.
nd enough active workers to make
ublic movements successful. There
business enough so that trade is
arried on efficiently, yet not enough
that costs become exaggerated.
eople should not quit such condi- I
ons and so OH to great cities, un- !
ss they have positive knowledge
lat they can improve their condi- v
Ons. u

A FAVORABLE WINTER

Sometimes Nature hits us sting
ing blow in the face, but usually she
relents before long, and gives us a
kind of love pat, to show that after
all we are her children and she cares
for us. We got such punishment
from her last summer, when drought
afflicted the greater part of the
country and reduced large areas to
destitution. But now she is favor
ing us bit by winter that has had
less than the usual amount of snow
and cold so far, which assists pro-
jects of out door work.
There are both gains and losses in
such a season. Probably not so much
heavy clothing is sold. But the peo-
pie who would have bought such
supplies otherwise, have the money
to spend for something else. The
snow shOvelling jobs on which the
unemployed depend in many north
ern cities, have not been as numer-
GUS as usual this year.
But in return for that we have
road and street and park work going
Oh in many states and cities where
ordinarily such out door jobs are
closed up.
Much construction work is being
lone through the winter now, where
such projects practically
closed up in the cold months. Busi-
less corporations and states and cit
es that contemplate any kind of
work, could well con- {
ider that they can probably place |
ontracts for the same at better ad- c
antage if they start right off now,
han if they delay until spring. t
Labor and materials can probably c
e had for less now than they can Y
t some date in April or May. If a n
lrge body of work that would not Il
rdinarily be started until late in the G.
pring, could begin in February this C,
ear, it would have great effect to S
art up business. W

BACK TO WORK

Many railroad, automobile, and
other plants have called workers
back to their jobs since New Year.
1t is joyful sound to an out of work
man, to hear the factory whistle
blow once more, and realize that it
means employment and a pay en-
velope for him. The people who think
of work as drudgery, and monotany
to be dreaded, do not understand
the feeling of a man who has longed
for employment but could not find
it.
If any of these laid off wage-earn-
ers have been down hearted, let them
get over it now. The country is on
the up grade. We can all learn les
sons from period of slack employ
ment. 1t teaches us to avoid in fu-
ture the extravagances and follies
that largely caused the recent de-
preston.

BIG MONEY FOR ROADS

The U. S. Bureau of Public Roads
predicts that the amount spent in
1881 for federal and state road con-
struction will be 80 to so per cent
greater than in any previous year.
1t estimated that 2,OOO,OOO,OOO will
be put into such construction and
maintenance this year.
That tremendous sum will be a
stream of new energy flowing into
our industrial life. If spent pru-
IDENTIFY and under the supervision of
competent engineers, it will go far
to perfect our Industrial machinery.
Farm products will move more read
lily over these hard surfaces, busi-
ness men will cover more ground,
tradesman will distribute commodi-
tics with less expense. We shall sec
the improvement here in Delaware.

RUMORS AGAINST RANKS

The comptroller of the currency
has asked congress for legislation
making it a criminal offense to cir
culate false reports against any ma
tioual bank or member of the fed
eral reserve system. Considering the
presence in this country of many
trouble makers who would like to
see our business come to grief, some
such legislation appears to be called
for.
1t is sometimes possible to injure
the standing of even an excellent
bank by spreading. false rumors
about its condition. When such in
jury is done, the soundness of such
a bank may be so impaired that
many thrifty people suffer a loss.
The government must protect them
against such contingencies, and it
would seem as if tn states might
need to enact similar legislation pro-
tecting state banks and savings in
stitutions.

Milford, Friday, January %, 1881

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY has
settled down to routine work this
week, and the new members are be-
coming familiar with their duties as
law makers. The long contested
boxing bill has passed both branches
of the Assembly and is now before
the Governor who is expected to
sign it. Advocates of this bill have
been persistent in presenting it each
year for the past twenty or more
years, and it was with a sigh of re-
lief that the members of the House
on Monday finally disposed of it.
Those opposing the measure have 10
reason to fear any bad results from
the provision of the measure, for
there are ample safeguards written
into it, and with proper supervision
by a competent commission which
Governor Buck will assuredly ap-
point, the sport should prove salts
flying to fight fans. A stringent
liquor bill, which will repeal both
the Klair and Loose laws and sub
stitutc in their place a law patterned
after the Pennsylvania statute |
which has real teeth lit was intro
duced on Wednesday afternoon. 1t !
is sponsored by the dry interests |
and if passed and signed by the Gov
ernor will be found stringent in its
provisions. The Old Age Pension
bill has. appeared in the House. 1t
IS more than probable that it will be
passed quickly and sent to Governor
Buck who favors it. The budget COM
mittee is holding hearings daily and
S passing upon the requests Of the
several State institutions, agencies
Ind commissions for requests for
unds. Delaware's General Assem-
Dly for 1881 appears to be above the
verage in ability and the people of
he State have every reason to feel
hat good legislation will result
rom their deliberation at Dover.

GENEROUS PHILOSOPHY

Money given in health is gold,
Money given i'll sickness is silver,
Money given after death is lead"
The above saying of the late Ma
than Straus, of New York, noted
philanthropist, was read at his fu-
neral by Prof. William Lyon Phelps,
of Yale University. 1t is a generous
sentiment, and those who act on it
arc amply rewarded.
Mr.. Straus became famous by rea-
son of his gifts to the cause Of pure
milk for needy children, and other
benefactions. One can not doubt
that every gift of his brought him
happiness. The Bible tells us that
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive, and people like Mr.. Straus will
testify that the statement is literally
true.
