bought the land and began improve

quire railroad facilities by con.
structing the Belt Line for mile in
length. Then it became necessary for
these men and their associates to in

build bridge spanning Coal Run hol-
low at tremendous ccSt.
The people generally looked upon
the development asa reckless expen-
diture OF money. The ehock stones
to progress were in their midst VINO
said their plans would not materialize.
These men had faith in the resources
of Falrmont and in themselves. They
laid off Fairmont avenue a distance
of 5000 feet through their property
and began to improve the street. at a
public sale of lots in 1892 an EFFORT
was made TO dispose Of their property.
Farmers came to town for the sale.
They said the lots were too high and
would not buy. The history of the

Making Noodles.

The good old-fashioned chick
en- noodle soup is hard to beat, If
the noodles are homo made. The
trouble is too many modern cooks
will not take the time for the
necessary rolling, without which
the paste is worthless.
To make them, mix two we'll
beaten eggs, with enough flour to
make stiff dough and knead un-
til smooth. If very white paste
is liked, only the whites of the
eggs are used.
Divide thermixture into equal
parts and roll each into a round
ball, which is then put on a we'll.
tloured board for rolling. A glass
roller by Its smoothness of sur
face is excellent for this part of
the process, as the noodles must
be rolled until the cakes are al
most transparent.
The cutting is likewise impor.
tant. AS the old fashioned meth
cd of having noodles too long for
graceful eating is not to be com
mended.
Before cutting, dry off each
sheet of the paste with a napkin;
then divide 1t INTO halves aud
quarters and pile them one
on top OF the other so the edges
are even. Cut into narrow strips
with sharp knife. The more
thread-like the noodles are the
better. Set them away to dry
and they are ready for sonp.
For fancy shapes the pas e may
be cut with sharp tin cutters.
