specialist of Berlin. Efforts which were
made recently to have DR.. Israel of Berlin

commenced. 1t is thought that the de

road for the settlement OF the holland,
American and French disputes, Vicente
Gomez. the vice president, viii assume the
presidency. Castro today issued 81 procls-
nation stating that special circumstance

time. First Vice President Gomez is con-
stitutionally charged with ;he presidency.
President Castro urges the people to sur

It were ! myself"
The president Of Venezuela is suffering
from an Internal abscess In the region OF
the kidneys, and his attending physicians
long ago advised him that the only pos
sible relief was in an operation by a Ger
man specialist. At that time there did
not appear to be any imminent danger and
President Castro decided to postpone the
trip to Europe as long as possible. When
IL was announced a few days ago that tine
president had finally determined upon pro-
ceeding to Europe. Caracas was all ex-
element, and the probabilities Of his car
rying out this program were the subject
of discussion throughout the city wherever
one turned.
President Castro has never been out OF
Venezuela. and 1t is now felt that extra
ordinary pressure must have been brought
to bear upon him in order to have him
consent to the voyage.

the head of affairs the man who has
never accomplished anything but talk
-incessant talk? Do they think
that this is an appropriate time to put
into the most exalted and responsible
office in the gift of the people a
harranguer instead of statesman, an
agitator instead of a pacifier a man
with a destructive program instead of
a man of constructive tendencies and
character? This is the question
tina confronts the people at this time
and which they must answer on the
third day of next month. Thousands
and tens of thousands of workmen
have lost their employment by too

1t is with regret that Smyrna
cannot enjoy the session of the Kent
County Teachers Institute this year.
tSupt. Carroll showed his good in
tention of bringing it here and had
waited until the last moment before
arriving at a decision. He was i'm
PEELED to take it to Dover for the
reason that it was more centrally
located for teachers to attend the day
sessions and be at their homes at night.
In this respect they are favored with
cheaper excursion rates for which
Dover had it off of Smyrna in favOrs
by the Railroad Company. Then
again Dover has larger hotel accom-
modations. AS will be seen the
conditions all favored Dover and
because of this fact Smyrna cannot
blame Supt. Carroll for not bringing
it here. With a total enrolment
of $50 teachers and but one hotel that
would only take about 35, the enter
tanning of the Institute in Smyrna
was utterly impossible unless our
citizens would take and board
them. This condition had been
discussed several times in these
columns but little or no assurance
was given Mr.. Carroll that the
teachers would be taken care of.
After holding the matter under ad
-visement until yesterday morning
Supt. Carroll decided he had better
not wait longer. Hence the an
.Douncement to take it to Dover.

1t has been suggested in the Cen
tury Club that it would be nice to
have the walk extended on the west
side of Main street from Hamilton's
Lane to Lake Como. We heartily re-
commend such a movement but are of
the opinion that it is entirely within
the provence of Smyrna Town Cour-
Gil. The lot next to Lake Como is
within town limits and it is no more
gust that the propety owners of
Union and Frazier streets or any
ether property owners in town should
be compelled to lay a pavement than
the owners of the lot next to Lake
Como. 1t is discrimination of this
kind that makes some citizens disre-
gard the pavement notices. The
walk to Lake Como could be made a
pretty and attractive by extending
the pavement from Hamilton Lane.
A few shade trees could be added to
the comfort and picturesquesness of
the walk and since most strollers use
the west side of Main steet, a con-
tinuation of the paving line to the
lake would be a great addition t.
the town. The ladies of the Century
Club have the right idea and Towl
Council should see to it that a pave
ment is laid.

Of the two candidates for the Pre-

sible places and who has always
''made good,' who is man of calm,
Judicial temperament, accustomed to
deal with great questions and to deal
with them successfully, a man of the
highest character and unblemished
reputation; or would it be safer at
this time, when above all other
times, the firm had of a statesman is
required at the wheel of the ship OF
state, to elect a man of words anc
dangerous theories? Do the people

very limited, and invented the follow

small enough to 60 through the hole
in tha top of a safety pin, was fas-
tened to the first hook in the closet.
Then she slipped on to this a number
of large safety pins. The wire was
passed through or over each hook,
with a number of pins between, and
fastened to the last hook, being drawn
as taut as possible.
In hanging garments up, slip one or
two pins through the band, as may
be required. In this way a great
many dresses may be hung side BY
side in a small space and an article
can be hung up or tahen down with

except the incest things, and each
garment can be seen without wasting

THINGS GOOD TO REMEMBER.
Soda Crackers with Raisins and Al
monds-Onion in Gravy.

Dip any o. ne crisp soda crackers
in milk, but 40 not permit them to be-
come too Eodden. Brush with beaten
egg, sprinkle with sugar and spread
upon a platter on which there is room
enough to lie singIy Put in the oven,
let them brown slightly, and sprinkle
with minced raisins and almonds. Lay
two or three together and serve with
whipped cream.
All white meats gain in flavor from
delicate onion admiXtuTe with the
gravy. The nion is to be grated and
put over the meat before it has just
finished roasting and then blended
by basting. In this way one avoids
the burnt onion slices, which some
times result from other methods, and
which have, in a way, caused the ad-
ditiOn of onion to be regarded with
disfavOr.
The bits OF tongue and ham which
do not look well upon the table
should be saved and chopped up to
gether for meat pies Spinach pre-
pared with a butter sauce is mixed
with the fragments just before they
are put into tie chopper. A little
tomato ketchup is an improvement
The thickening should be either grated
bread or cracker crumbs. The usual
pie crust is best, with little niggard
illness in the matter of shortening.
An old carpet dyed often looks as
good as new. If, therefore you have
a carpet which is badly faded, but
otherwise in good repair. send it to be
dyed, and if you choose a nice color
you will be delighted when you get il
back again.

A Left-Over Suggestion.

When you have boiled ham do not
insist upon lis appearing on the family
board after it has been eaten down
to the sCrd" ,uds,
These are unsishtly and by that
time the family is tired of it at any
rate.
Instead. make use of the chopper
and turn the small pieces into Gro
qdettes. or mix them with creamed
eggs baked in a pudding dish or even
have some dainty minced ham sand

MEATS THAT REQUIRE CARE.
Care Needed in the Preparation Of
Lamb and Mutton

Lamp anu MUTTON.
An experienced housewife declares
that both lamb and mutton should be
more carefully prepared than the 9TH
er meats. First the loose fat which
comes wrapped around such a roast
should be removed. washed carefully
in salty water and set to work in a
dish of cold water into which a very
little bicarbOnate OF soda has been put.
Then the roast proper instead Of
being washed or wiped. as usual,
should be thoroughly scraped with
a sharp knife until every bit of skin
has been removed. without, however,
cutting away any of tie fat, and next
the meat should be freely rubbed with
salt. After this the loose fat which
has meanwhile been soaking, should
be wiped quite dry and fastened
around the roast with long skewers
Finally, this outer layer should be
rubbed over with salt and at last the
roast of lamb OF mutton is ready for
the pan.
