Curing Meat,

As this is 4 subject of special interest at
this time we give below the opinions Of
members of the Junior Gunpowdef Agri-
cultural Club, for which we are indebted
to the Baltimore County Union:
Another subject discussed at the same
meeting was: "What is the Best Method
of Curing Neat" Following are the views
of some of the members:
Mr. Charles H. Price said: II dry salt
the meat for six weeks then hang and
smoke it. put some pepper about the
joints and then pack it in wood ashes.
Mr.. T. V Richardson said: Il salt the
meat in a hcgshead and use some sugar
and in about week make a brine and
cover it. l put on no pepper, but use
some saltpetrc I think molasses in the
brine would be as good as sugar. After
the meat remains in brine few weeks
then l hang it up for smoking and prefer
hickory wood. After it is smoked then L
put the pieces in paper sacks, which pre-
fer to cotton sacks. generally have very
fine meat. There are five SIS in connection
with curing meat-salt, sugar, saltpetre,
smoke and sacks"
Mr.. Granville Matthews said: 81 let the
animal heat get out of the meat first and
then cut up and put it in sweet pickle
which had been boiled and skinned. The
pickle consists of water, soda, salt, brown
sugar, pint of molasses and saltpetre.
Hang up the meat, after five or six weeks
picking, and then smoke and cover with
sacks"
Mr.. Lewis Chilcoat said Il let the meat
cool off, then use dry salt With some salt
petre and brown sugar to cover it. Let
the meat remain for about six weeks and
then rub it with pepper and paint the
pieces with molasses."
Mr. Upton H. Tarbert said: II use dry
salt on meat for two weeks and then put
it in brine awhile. l smoke it and have
done so when the weather was damp"
Mr.. George E. Shelley said Il smoke
meat when the weather is thoroughly dry;
the meat is not wet or sweatty then. Be
fore sailing let it get cold and then COW
err it with dry salt and with some saltpetre.
After three or four days then brine it,
using brown sugar and molasses. Ismoke
meat with hickory wood until well colored
and then sack it. l don't think it neces
sary to boil the pickle

Gordon Will Contest.

The Baltimore Sun yesterday published
the following from its Marlboro cores
pendent:
Capt Charles G. Gordon, republican,
has served a notice of contest on Senator
elect William B. Clagett, democrat. After
reading the notice Mr.. Clagctt said: LAS
the notice of contest does not state the
grounds on which it is to he made have
no idea as to its nature. AS far as I am
Informed the election, which was held I'M
der the direction of the supervisors of
election, majority of whom are republi-
cans, was in every respect fair. The su-
peryisOrs of election on canvassing the
vote declared that had Il majority of 2O5.
and L can see no reason why Mr. Gordon
thinks he is entitled to the office. | can
not think that ma ority of the Senate of
Mary land would deliberately rob the peo-
pie of Prince Georges county of the right
to select their own Senator. 1t looks like
device to aid some aspirant for the Uni
ted States Senate, and its consummation
would be an outrage upon the people of
our county"
Captain Gordon, it is understood, will
contend that fraud was committed by
some election officials in some of the dis
trots. He will also charge the bribery of
voters in nearly every district of the
county.
Captain Gordon when he was here on
Friday evening, refused to talk for publ
cation in regard to the rumor of his con-
est. That he came here for the pur.
pose of talking over the ACCESSIBILITY
of taking the step was evident. 1t
is said that on Friday he wrote the notice
of his contest and left it in the hands of
friend here to be served on Mr.. Clagett
in the event of IA decision to that effect af
ter consultation with Postmaster Gener.
al Gary in Washington Wednesday. The
result of this decision was to be wired to
his friend here, who was to have the no.
tlce at once served on MIR. Clagett.

ing gold mounted sword which was pre-
sented by the State of Maryland, as di-
rected by resolution No. GA of the General
Assembly of 1927, to Lieutenant Cross, an
officer of the United States ship Consti-
tuition.
The sword had been returned to the
State of Maryland for safe-keeping on
February 6, 1890, by Mrs. Elizabeth F..
Cross, of Glendale, Prince Georges county
the only surviving child of Gen. Gross.
Accompanying this sword is IA white silk

from Miss Elizabeth F. Cross and a letter
from Col. William H. Love to Governor
Jackson The Governor received receipt
from the land commissioners Office, sign
ed by the commissioner and Chief Clerk
Geo. H. Shafer
Col. William H. Love furnishes some
additional information concerning the
sword of Lieut.. Joseph Cross, which has
recently been deposited for safe-keeping
in the land office by Governor Lowndes.
The sword for many years was a cherished
possession of Miss Elizabeth F. Cross,
daughter of Lieutenant Cross. In Janu-
airy, 1890, Miss Cross sent for Colonel
Love and asked him to return the sword
to the State for safe-keeping. Colonel
Love took the sword to Annapolis by
special appointment February 1G, 1890,

speeches made by Governor Jackson and
Colonel Love, was made in the records at

Coffee is Cheap Now.

As 4 result of the war now being wagcd
between the Arbuckle Coffee Company
and the Woolson Spice Company, the
sales of coffee during the week now end
ing have been far i'll excess of any period
during the past year. Coffee brokers in
New York declare that their sales had
been doubled.
The Woolson Spice Company, which is
controlled by the Havemeycrs, is selling
Rio No. : at nine cents pound. Not to
be outdone the Arbuckles have made a
reduction in their prices. Coffee is now
cheaper that it has been since before the
war, say the old dealers, and if the fight
continues there is no telling what price it
will go for. Another reason for the low
price is to be found in the enormous
quantity of green coffee in New York

Diphtheria from Pencils.

Health Commissioner McShane is con-
among school children is largely due to the
system followed in the use Of penholders
and lead pencils. He regards it as almost
as bad as common use of the same drink
ing cup in disseminating diphtheria germs,
and will send a communication to the
School Board recommending that differ
ant system be adopted. All pencils and
penholders are gathered together each
day just before pupils are dismissed, being
redistributed next morning SO that child
rem may get different pencils every day.
at is second nature said DR.. McShane,
''for children to place pencils in their
mouths when at study, and thus disease
may be communicated from child to child,
if pupils do not use the same pencils every
day"
DR.. McShane will recommend that care
be taken to give each pupil the same pen
Gil or penholder regularly, or that the ar
ticles be sterilized every morning.
unfortunately, however, it can only be
recommendation" said Dr. McShane
The present law doesn't give the Health
Commissioner the power he should have
in this and other matters" He suggests
that the Board of Health be given full au-
thority to enforce sanitary recommended
tons in the schools, where it has no power
now, unless it exercises its plenary powers
to close schools to prevent the spread of
epidemics
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
| Science has proven catarrh to be consti-
| tutional disease, and therefore, requires
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J Cheney & Co
| Toledo Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful
1t acts directly on the blood and mucous

hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.
