/ Council, and specifically states that
the residents of each ward shall
nominate their own candidates for
Council. No persons whose names
have not been filed with the secre-
tary of the meeting may be voted
for at the annual election. 1t also
provides for the printing of ballots

In Section 5, Paragraph B, pro-
vision is made for the election of a
Mayor who shall serve for two
years. The Mayor is elected at

Other provisions of the Charter,
which consumes Al pages of the
Laws of the last session provide for
the passing of ordinances, and spe-
city the duties of the respective Of
flee holders.
1t also provides that Council must
have the Charter printed for the in
formation of the citizens of Milford,
and that no ordinances passed by
the Council shall become effective
until after they have been advertis-
ed in a newspaper published in the
City of Milford.
Milford citizens should begin now
to consider the personnel of the
new members of Council, for upon
them will fall the success or failure
of the new Charter. Mayor Wind

have voting lists prepared for each

Medieval Dishes That Called for Condiments

An important reason for the appar-
ent vast thirst of the English of me-
dieval times, William Edward Mead
explains, in his volume, 1.-THE English
Medieval Feast" is found in the dishes
common to their tables, wherein con-
diments and spices played major
part. Loaded with pepper, cubebs,
mace, saffron, cloves, ginger, CHINA
mon, nutmeg, galingale, cummin, H.
corice, aniseed, and other tart ingre-
dents, they were prone to inspire the
consumer to frequent draughts from
the ale key or beer mug.
Here again the element of necessity
entered. For, the author points out,
fashion had in reality little to do with
the extensive use of these elements.
Our ancestors, he reminds us, had not
vet begun to breed beasts and poul-
try for the table, except that the value
of the capon was remembered from
former days. Mutton was apt to be
