Broiled bacon ls a dish which in few
households deserves tie adjective. be-
cause It is seldom broiied: the fat "a

The only way to cook bacon-both
for the matter Of appearance and for
digestive qualities-is to broil II. not
over a bed OF Goals Of is too fat for
that, but In a very hot oven. Cut the
bacon In the most delicately thin slices
possible, rejecting the rind. Lay the
pieces close together in a nne wire
broiler. Place Il over a dripping pan
and set In a hot oven Il requires TO
be turned just once. The fat which
falls into the pan makes excellent
Grippings for frying potatoes.
Drain the bacon on brown paper.

The Clerical Garb.

When Martin Luther laid aside the
monks clothes which had up to that
time been his garb, the elector Of Sax
ony sent him a piece of black cloth.
Black was at the time court fashion,
and Luther had a suit made of it ac-
cording to the prevailing cut Of the
time. His pupils followed his example,
and henceforth black became the dis
tinguishing hue of clerical garb. 1t
was not, however, for many years aft
erward that the cut of a clergyman's
coat became In any way different from
that of the laity.

Prisoners Profess Religion.

The town of Snow Hill has gone
wild over the Salvation Army Bri-
gade brought to that town by the
Snow Hill NJ. E. Church. Adju-
tant J. ]. Kemp's revival brigade
was assigned to go from Frankfort
to Snow Hill and begin a campaign
in the church. The corps began
by inducing 90 church members to
seek better lives. The result is a
crowded church, with scores of seek
ers and 10 conversions one night
The corps held a revival meeting
in the Jail, and this resulted in the
conversion of every inmate. One
of the converts is Asbury Dixon
wife murderer, who got a shotgun
went to his home, and shot his wife
through the stomach. He protested
conversion md expressed his will
ingness to die.
Wilson Niblett, of Pocomok'
City, known as a desperate charac
ter, is also among the converts. H
cried out for half an hour to Coz
to blot out his transgressions.

MUNICIPAL officials owe it to
their constituents to know all that
can be learned about practical mat
tiers affecting the interests of the
people they serve. 1t ought to be
made the official duty of every
mayor, councilman, or other city
officer, to carefully study the SAM
tary conditions, the methods OF
economical road building, the ad-
vantages of drainage and moral
law. It would result often in saw
ing the public from very expensive
mistakes. Citizens should be ac-
,+..iizsily interested in municipal i'm
provement and be capable of giving
advice, or express their desires in a
practical way.
1.-THE act of Dover's Town coun.
Gil has been correctly reported, a.
hesitating to accept free delivery o.
mail for that town, that set of mu
nicipal officers need to be enlight
ened on municipal government
Too many men accept offices il
town government who give thei
duties no thought, and as a result
town affairs are badly administered
These Offices are purely a labor o
love, or of town pride, and if mel
will fill such places under such con
ditions, they should at least attemp
to leave some mark of progress, a
memoir of their having filled tn
office.

Addicks in Trolley Deal,
1t is Said That He is to Build the
Woodland Beach, Dover and
Milford Line.
MAY ALSO EXTEND FURTHER.

Last Monday negotiations were
in progress that will probably give
to ]. Edward Addicks and his bus
mess associates, control of the troll
ley franchise between Milford and
Woodland Beach. The sale of this
franchise will be sold at public sale
on February 2Ist, to clear up the
title.
The property in question is that
of the Delaware General Electric
Co. Former Attorney General
Robert c. White was one of the
promoters of this company and it
made deposit of $I7,5oO in 1899
as a guarantee that the line would
be built. The Corporation Law re.
quires a deposit of $500 for each
mile of road. Work was begun
south of Dover and a mile and a
half of track was laid. Then
money ran short. Mr.. White.
Leo. Belmont and Col. Leland of
the company has secured practi-
cally a free right of way from
Woodland Beach to Milford, the
route taking in Smyrna, Dover,
Camden, Rising Sun, Magnolia,
Frederick, and Milford. The COM
pany secured permission to use the
streets in the respective towns.
One question that has been in
volved is whether the charter is
still good, and counsel who have
examined it are reported to have
said that the company still has &

THE appalling fire that wiped
out twenty-six blocks and eight
millions of dollars worth of prop
erty in the city of Patterson, New

les, where wooden buildings are

The Public Memory.

The need of persistence in adver-
Using is due to the demands on the
memory of the public. The num-
Der ofbusiness establishments which
seek publicity constantly increases,
and a concern which advertises
only occasionally is thought of only
occasionally. The succession Of
important events is so rapid that
the sensation of last week is forgot
ten this week. The constant ad.
vertiser is always in the mind o.
the buying public.

Aunt Fannie'S Department,
Is IT EXPENSIVE e?

l heard a lady thus commenting
Everything comes so high for poor
folks it is hard to get along. Some
have nothing except as they buy it"
l heard woman say this; and pre-
sumo others could agree with her. as to
it's being the truth. But is it? How
much do you pay for the sunshine
which brightens your home, drys your
clothes and purifies your home and
your blood? What would our lives be
without the sunshine? How much for
the breeze which famed your hot
cheeks last summer? How much for
the bird songs which come to your ears?
So full of melody are those songs, that
they waken sweet echoes within our
own hearts. They seem to praise the
God who gave them such wonderful
powers. He might have made them
without their sweet songs or pretty
feathers-why didn't he? Did you
hire him to give them music and beauty
for your eyes and ears?
Over in your neighbours yard are
flowers in lovely colors for your eyes to
feast upon Across the field you sec a
grove of grand old trees bowling in the
breeze; how much does it cost you to
look at them, and lie often reminded of
the years of patient growth they have
made for Him?
