lect sufficient funds to meet the
cost of the outside relief, the deficit
shall be paid out of the State
treasury and deducted from the
amount to be paid to the county in
reimbursement. Governor Buck is
hopeful that this plan will meet
with the approval of the Federal
authorities and that grants will be
forthcoming therefrom to the ex-
tent of at least 81 for every So ex-
pended by the county. In view of
the attitude assumed by most of
the members of the House of Rep
resentatives, relative to relief, the
Governor feels justified in bringing
this plan to the attention of the
State Welfare Commission. 1t was
explained that under the plan it is
espected to arise $4,000 for Kent
county and $4,000 for Sussex
county, one-half being supplied by
the counties, half by the State with
whatever Federal aid can be OBJ
tanned. Governor Buck said he had
received no word at that time as to
whether the Federal Relief Admin
istration will augment the 100000
provided by the New Castle Coun-
ty Levy Court for relief in this
county. DR.. Candee, when spoken
to about the matter, explained that
the Welfare Commission is grant
ing relief, under the law, in New
Castle and Sussex counties. He
further stated that Governor Buck
is hoping to secure appropriations
from the Federal Government, thus
allowing more funds with which to
operate. DIR. Candee said that the
State had not made an appropria-
ton in the last biennium sufficient
to carry on this enlarged outside
relief.

nished there. Persons in need in
Kent and Sussex counties who are
not in the State Welfare Home,
would be given relief and the cost
charged against the county. The
State would reimburse the county
for one-half the cost entailed and
the Levy Court of each county
would later include the costs in
the tax levy. Despite the assertion
of members of the 104th General
Assembly, just recently adjourned,
that there was no need for relief in
Kent and Sussex counties, Cover
nor Buck is diligently engaged in
the formation of the second part
of his program to provide relief for
the people of Delaware who may
be in need of such assistance.
There is provision in Chapter
189, Volume 81, Laws of Delaware,
which reads as follows: can indi-
gent person requiring public relief,
including medical and surgical
treatment, should not or cannot be
removed to the State Welfare
Home. Any member Of the Com
mission may grant him or her out
side relief and the cost of such out
side relief shall be a proper charge
against that Home as much so as
if such INDECENT person were an in
mate therefore and shall be includ-
ed in the cost of the maintenance
of said Home and the care and
support of its inmates" Persons
subject to the provisions of this
statute are such as are unable to
obtain employment or are unable
to work or who are unable to pro-
vide the necessities of life. While
the course of such outside relief
would be a charge against the
county to whose residents the re-
lief is furnished, the State would
semi-annually reimburse each of
the counties to the extent of one
half the amount expended for the
cost of the outside relief. The
expended from now until
June 80, 1884, would be reimbursed
from the State treasury about July
10, of this year, while the exenpses
for outside relief from July l to
December 81, 1884 inclusive, would
be payable by the State Treasurer
after January !, 1885. The statute
provides the Commission shall sub
nit to the Levy Court Of the coun-
ties, an estimate of the cost of out
side relief chargable against that
county, and the Levy Court shall
include the amount of said esti-
mate in the taxes laid for each
year and the moneys collected
shall be credited by the county
treasurer to the State Commission
and be subject to its order. In the

Re-OrganiZe For Year With
DR.. Candee, Chairman, and
Same Officers
SUBMIT GOOD REPORT

AT recent meeting of the State
Welfare Home Commission at the
Welfare Home, Smyrna, last week
they re-organized for the year by
re-electing DR.. Charles L. Candee
of Wilmington, chairman Walter
w. Hynson of Smyrna, vice-chair-
man, and William F. Metten, Sec
retary. Mrs. Ella c. Emory of
Seaford, whose term as commits
sioner had just expired was reap
pointed by Governor Buck for an
other term of four years. Mrs.
Emory is the only woman on the
Board and is the Sussex County
representative. She has made an
excellent painstaking commission
er and so well has she performed
her duties, it was only natural she
should have received an appoint
ment for another term. In fact,
it would be hard to find a Board
that worked so harmoniously to-
gether for the good of the worthy
State institution as the present
body. The report of the commits
sion for the past month read by
DR.. A. V. Gilliland, the superin-
tendent, indicated that the Welfare
Home is being conducted smoothly
and efficiently. With the opening
of spring weather the grounds are
being graded, concrete curbing and
walks have been laid and soon
Supt. Gilliland hopes to plant
shrubbery, trees and in time have
attractive flower beds. Since the
commission held its meeting last

ed without making the appropria-
tion so badly needed to build more

PROGRAM FOR
STATE RELIEF
Governor Buck Discusses Aid
Plan With Welfare Com
mission Chairman
SUPPORT IN COUNTIES

Governor Buck, conferred in his
Office at Dover, Thursday morning
with DIR. Charles L. Candee, chair
man of the State Welfare Commits
sion, relative to the Governors
plan to furnish relief for the needy
of Kent and Sussex counties, re-
qriring cooperation between the
Levy Courts of the two counties
and the commission. The State
Welfare Commission, under the
law, would go ahead with outside
relief work, providing the two re-
spective Levy Courts approve the
plan and signify the amount of
money they will contribute toward
it. Outside relief work of this
type has been handled by the COM
mission in New Castle county, and
on a small scale in Sussex county.
1t is planned to make this outside
relief work on a larger scale, if
necessary, pending approval of the
respective Levy Courts. The work
ing out of the relief aid for Kent
and Sussex counties completes the
Statewide program planned by
Governor Buck as a result of the
failure of the special session of the
General Assembly to pass relief
legislation. Governor Buck has al
ready announced his plan for the
aid of the New Castle county
needy, through the Levy Court,
and it is now being administered.
During his conference with DR..
Candee, Governor Buck asked him
if the commission staff is capable
of handling the emergency. DR..
Candee informed him that the staff
was organized to give any assist
ance, if called on. He also told
Governor Buck that the staff could
soon be built up if it is found nee
essary in carrying out the program
for Kent and Sussex counties.
Working out of the relief plan
through the State Welfare Com
mission for Kent and Sussex coun-
ties, will depend on the attitude
taken by the Levy Courts Of those
two counties. Should they fail to
provide funds, it would probably
mean that no relief could be fur

SWIM FROM YOUR WORRIES
Edited by Arthur M. Potter, Ex-

No man can keep his mind on his
business while enjoying swim
and thus does swimming help to
preserve mental balance as well as
muscular symetry. Everyone
should know how to swim, for at
least three reasons: it is splendid
form of exercise, judged from the
standpoint of physiology, resulting
in improved health accompanied by
ease and grace of carriage; it i'm
parts self-reliance and courage,
which becomes elements in ones
character, increasing ones power
both for good and against evil, and,
finally, it may prove the means of
Life Saving. There is no pastime
or play that is more democratic in
its nature than swimming. Where
number of persons are gathered
together to enjoy this invigorating
sport, there is only one line to be
drawn, the water level and the
aristocrats are those who can keep
their heads above water. In its
larger aspect, swimming has an
economic as well as social value,
in conserving health, Every state
should, therefore, prevent the foun-
tain heads of our rivers from con-
tamination. Every city should
have its amateur swimming clubs
in which the members may develop
the art to its highest point of eff
ficiency, while the spirit of contest,
held within reasonable limits, turns
putty youths into men of steel
Every city should have it's munic-
ipal swimming pools where both
often have we seen men walking
down town with their spinal col
umnS in front of their chests
There is no system so powerful for
correcting round shoulders as the
crawl stroke This is because the
crawl is chiefly deep breathing and
shoulder action. Sw i m m n G
strengthens the lungs because it
compels deep breathing and
strengthens the nervous system.
1t strengthens the spine and en-
larges the chest, because it causes
the head to be thrown back and
the chest out; it strengthens and
sets right the pelvic organs, be-
cause the body is in motion on the
horizontal plane. BY the worm
like motion Of the trunk character
istic of swimming, all the internal
viscera are assisted in their normal
functions; hence, bowel, liver and
kidney trouble disappear, and the
danger from appendicitis is great
ly lessened. Swimming will dispel
that tired" feeling, because that
tired feeling" is induced by too
much rest. Swim to Health"
should be the motto today. Swim
ming is not only the one sport in
which women are at no disadvant-
age in competing with men, but is
the only form of exercise in which

What are we going to do this year; try for a
million or, instead fix more conservative goal
and then ACCOMPLISH that end during l934f
Royalties do not afford the glamOr Of the
stock promotion or the roulette wheel They
based on the cold realities of EXPERIENCE where
by the investor reduces to plain figures the POSSIBLE
ties Of an investment before he starts. He can't
possibly invest 800 and prepare to sell out that
investment for a million dollars, and he KNOWS 1T.
There are many who have conception Of
what their money can do for them. Some think
that 296 interest government bonds is the max
imum in revenue. Others think that they should
get 1OO-to1 from every investment, else it is a
failure. There certainly is compromise between
government bonds at 2& and roulette wheel which
MAY pay 10O-to-l
Let a man who would succeed during 1884
make firm determination that he win build up an
INCOME Of 81 day or S. day or $40 day
in either case goal that positively be reached
Then let him systematically go about that program,
with the available.
Il is our observation that nothing succeeds
like Let START making money and
he win keep making money. The average person
has to learn his lesson before he gets his START.
He wants ACTION and is not satisfied with care
full pl0dding method that is sure of success. That
is what leads many into gambling, rather than
legitimate barterng such as buying from land
owner share Of his mineral rights.
The average person would rather shoot ms
money at a prospect for making a million than TO
invest it. bit at TINA in an enterprise which wall
end up the year with a yield Of So q day.
An income Of SIS per day Is not much so little
that many thoughtless persons would rather take
gamble for BIG stakes than to accept an opportunity
for so small a return.

Those thoughtless people do not stop to
think that if they had THIRTY THOUSAND Doll
LARS loaned out at 6es interest," that money would
earn just FIVE DOLLARS PER DAY
with $4,000 earning go interest would

Yet we know many who have invested as little
as 500 in royalty which has brought an incom
OF 50 per day. We know scores Of others who are
receiving So per day more from an investment
Of much less than $4,000, and they have greater
security in their investment than has the holder
of the average bond or mortgage 4

plant of a member who has number of good

He has never yet struck it rich.D Wells drilled
on his royalty properties have been small BE had

We took time to figure up the miscellaneous

We found that he is getting around SIS per day
That isn't much but it is THREE TIMES as much
he would be receiving were his money invested
in bonds or real estate mortgages paying 6% per

any one Of his properties and he win find himself
with FIVE TIMES the return he expect from
any other legitimate investment

a royalty which IS earning around 1879 the

this return to 40 or so per cent per annum if the

afforded by royalty investments and how could we
