No ExtOrtiOl at Hampton

4 great deal has been said and
written about the extortionate
rates charged at the jamestown
Exposition, but the first authorita-
tive statement which e have been
able to publish is the following
from one of the most reliable ladies
of Hampton. Her words can be
accepted as truth, and her letter
should be read by every person in
this vicinity who anticipates trim
to the Exposition. She says:
Leaving out my own. perhaps
partial, views on the subject. | will
tell YOU the opinion of anumber OF
intelligent Exposition visitors
stopping in Hampton, whom saw
lately. Some said Il week at tie
Exposition would not cover the
ground. others, they could spend a
day most pleasantly in each of the
larger building. others that some
special exhibit was itself worth a
trip t. the Exposition. and again
Hampton Roads and vicinity alone
were enough To attract visitors, etc
Now in regard To extortion,
do not believe this has been done
either on the Norfolk or Hampton
side of the water; however, | will
let Norfolk speak for itself: but for
Hampton | can say and am ready
To verify ii, that good. comfortable.
attractive lodging can be had for
one dollar per night and excellent
meals for fifty and Seventy-fve
cents each. Is that extortion!
Hampton is an historical place,
the oldest continuous settlement i'm
America, and very accessible across
Hampton Roads 10 the Exposition.

subject one may address.

Homemade Saratoga Chips

Homemade Saratoga Chips are
much more of rarity than they
should be" says Fannie Merritt
Farmer in the August Woman's
Home Companion. IF one owns
a potato slicer. which is not an ex-
pensive utensil, they are not diff
cult to prepare. They are always
an acceptable accompaniment to
fried fish, but perhaps are never
more happily in evidence than
when served as one of the acceS-
sories of picnic luncheon. Wash
and pare medium-sized potatoes.
Slice thin, using vegetable slicer
made for the purpose, into bowl
of cold water, and let stand one and
one half hours, changing the water
twice. Drain, plunge into kettle
of boiling water, and let boil one
minute Drain again, cover with
cold water, and let stand five min
utes. Take from the water, and
dry between towels. Fry IN deep
fat until delicately Drowned. keep
ing in motion with skinner
throughout the cooking. Remove
with skinner to Il pan lined with
brown paper (Which will absorb
the superfluous fatl- and sprinkle
with salt. Always drain fried po-
tatoes on brown paper, for fried
food if properly cooked and prop
erly drained seldom absorbS enough
| fat to be indigeStibIe to adults. "
