THANKSGIVING DISHES.

We like to have as much of the
preparation for the feast day done be-
fore hand as possible The turkey may
be stuffed the day before and is great
ly improved by standing, as it is bet
ter favored with the seasoning.
The cranberry sauce may be made
and nodded the day before, and of
course the mince meat has been pre-
pared and the pumpkin pies may be
made. so that on Thanksgiving there
are less things to prepare and the
time may be better used enjoying
ones friends.
The dishes to be prepared should
be carefully gone over as to cost; an
elaborate dinner for ones friends that
means pinching for month to re-
cuperate is not worth the expense OF
time, labor and money
Celery may Ne washed and wrapped
in a damp cloth and kept nicely for
several days.
Cranberry frarpe is delicious way
of serving the winter berry.
A salad which Is both attractive and
good to eat and one which may be
prepared the day before is: Lettuce

The New LIGHTS

No better evidence of the progress
iveness Of Cairo's business men can
be found than in the announcement
that beautiful ornamental lights are
to be installed on Commercial ave-
nue. between Sixth and Ninth streets.
The final agreement, 1t is stated was
signed up Thursday by all the mer-
chants on both sides of the street.
and the work of installing the poles
will be started at once AS an adver-
Using feature, both in Cairo and
abroad, the project could not be i'm
proved upon. Turn out all the lights

dents of the city would not leave
their homes after the evenings
meal. Turn them on and they
flock to the very brightest
spot. In addition to placing Cairo
on the Great White Way" map, the
installation Of tho new system will
be a means of attracting residents
to parts of Commercial avenue they
would not visit unless conditions de.
manded 1t. The more lights erected
the more people they viii attract. IL
Is confidently expected that the mer-
chants on Commercial avenue be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets will
join the movement and 1t Is to be
hoped that their decision will not be
DELAYED, for they will receive Just as
much benefit as will the other mer.

the Chicago Record Herald, but it

IMPROVEMENTS.

The rumor is revived that the
Central Railroad of New Jersey will
take oysr the Pennsylvania terminal
at Jersey City SO as to give its
| patrons the advantage OF the McAdoo
tunnel. 1t is also declared that a
new bridge will be built across
Newark bay and track elevation will
be increased.
There is no doubt that these i'm
proyements would be a big advan-
tage to the Central railroad. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that in connec-
ton with all these Improvements
track elevation through Perth AM
boy will be included. Should a new
bridge be built across Newark bay it
will doubtless be high enough for
track elevation through Elizabeth.
This leaves Perth Amboy the largest
place through which the Central
passes at grade. The present size
and rapid growth of Perth Amboy
warrants immediate attention here,
and with the work once commenced
elsewhere this city should be includ-
ed in the improvement. Track eleva-
ton or depression and a new station
are two of the greatest needs OF
Perth Amboy today.
In regard to a station, there ought
to be some way whereby the three
railroads touching this city could get
together on a union depot. Few
cities have such an ideal location for
such a structure as Perth Amboy. A
station erected at Washington street,
where the railroads cross, could have
a New Brunswick avenue approach
anu IuuS pS CCulldl ~ every ScCllOu
of the city. By all railroads using
this station it would be much more
pretentious than otherwise and it
would be an exceedingly busy place,
in keeping with the progress of the
city. A handsome union station at
Washington street would be one Of
the greatest advertisements this city
could have. All three railroads need
new depots and as long as they have
got to be built they ought to be com
bined in one which would be a credit
to the railroads as well as to the city.
This would be the right kind of talk
ing Perth Amboy, and the railroads
have as good reason as the rest of us
for doing some of this talking.
