HOW TO MAKE GOOD BREAD

To insure good biscuit, then,
whether the leavening agent is
nasiif s poWder, with water or
sweetmilk, or soda with butter
milk, we must keep in mind that
the retention of the gas in the
dough until we get 1t to theoven,
is the thing we are aiming at.
A large proportion of house
keepers do not realize this
principle, and as a result, what
do we see? first, there is, usually
an excess of soda, which at the
start, destroys the digestibility
of the biscuit, as we'll as the gas
reaction. Then, there is utmost
deliberation in the entire process.
The dough is kneeded and rolled
and worked until not a trace Of
gas is left. 1t is then put into an
Indifferent oven, with the result
that we have a heavy, soppy,
yellow mass, thoroughly bad from
start to finish.
The proper plain is to sift with
the flour the salt, soda snd cream
of tartar, or baking powder or
soda alone, when sour milk is to
be used. Add the shortening,
then the liquid last, using all
possible haste after the liquid is
added. In mixing, use the hands
as little as possible, pressing
lightly with the rolling pin, cut.
ting with the biscuit cutter, and
hurrying the dough to a hot oven
while the gas still remains in
the mixture. Speed" should
be the motto in making biscuit.

HOW He TRAINED HIS DOGS

AS South Jersey country ply
sician was driving through a vii
lage he saw a man amusing a
crowd with the antics of his trick
dog. The doctor pulled up and
said: MY dear man, how do
you manage to train your dog
that way? | can't teach mine a
single trick. The man looked
up with simple rustic look and
replied: well you see it's this
way: you have to know more'n
the dog or you can't learn him
nothin'. 3"

candidate for the responsible
position of County and Probate

It is not necessary for us to
undertake to dwell upon the many

better than any man in the county
Ne has been identified with the
many interests of the county for
Years, being a preacher and a
teacher, and is now serving his
second term as treasurer of the
county. naturally this means that
|he is no stranger to you by any
means. Suffice US to say how
lever tnat ne IS a faithful servant
|of the people and is in every way
|uualifed to fill the position to
which he aspires. He is fully
aware Of the responsibility at

the people the very best that is
lin him in the administration of
the county affairs if he is elected.
Remember Mr.. Felts when you
go to the polls to cast your vote.
HE will appreciate it then as he

UNLESS something not now In SIGHT
occurs the increased rates of fare on the
Pennsylvania Railroad will go into effect
next week. There has been loud pro-
test from persons living along lines where
the increase has been heavy, and 1t Ia
quite likely there will be meetings to
endeavor to see II something cannot be
done to relieve the situation. With the
announcement of the increase In rates
comes the statement that 'retrenchment
in several departments of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad have been very beneficial
and have put money into the treasury"
That ought to be SO. Cutting down ex-
penses and increasing fares should have a
good influence on net receipts. There
have been great improvements, much
money has been spent, but the travellers
will pay the bill. So far as the general
public is concerned or improvements to
any particular locality are desired it is
hard to get the cooperation of corpora
ton. An instance of this may be cited In
the matter of transportation of school
children. Communication tickets are sold
from Medford to Haddonfield at rate
that allows pupils from the former place
to attend school at the latter town.
Mount Holly asked for some consideration
which would keep the children of Medford
In their own county, but the railroad COM
pany could not do anything and Mount
Holly suffers for the benefit of Haddon-
field. The Public Utilities Commission,
from whom SO much was to be expected,
expresses itself powerless to interfere In
the matter of price of tickets which have,
In their sale, transportation across the
rivers into other states. This, 1t says.
belongs to the Inter State Commission.
AssemblVman Egan, who fathered the bill
creating the Public Utilities Commission,
does not agree with this idea He claims
the latter body has the power to fix rates
whenever 1t decides they are too high or
discriminatory. In the case Of transpor-
tation between Mount Holly and Phila-
delphia, there is difference between the
price of Communication tickets which give
transportation to Philadelphia and those
which convey the passengers only to
Camden, SO that there might be ques
ton whether the Utilities Commission had
power to interfere on that point, but in
the sale of excursion tickets or the strip
tickets which are to have such heavy
boost, the matter is different as the same
price Isl charged whether you get off at
Camden or go over to Philadelphia. There
is no doubt about the injustice of the raise
In these tickets, not only for Mount Holly |
but for the entire community that Is
affected. 1t is not calculated to induce
people to settle In the neighborhood. But.
as was said before, what does corpora
lion care for anything but its own
pockets3" |

A Canoeist,s Communication.

Mount Holly, n. j., July 20, 1911.
Dear Mr.. EDITOR
Being an ardent devotee of all forms of
aquatic sport, and observing that THE
NEWS pays considerable attention to that
subject, / trust you will allow me space
IN your columns to advocate a matter
of interest to every canoeist, which, am
led to believe, has never received proper
consideration.
/ was an interested and delighted spec
tator at the upper creek celebration on
July 4. That, understood, was engineered
by the members of two local organiza-
tons, one of them canoe club Judging
from the large number of handsome
canoes then in evidence, and the energy
and enthusiasm displayed by their owners,
naturally supposed that this canoe club
was legal organization, properly incor-
porated, and owning modern and we'll
equipped club house Upon inquiring the
location of this building was astonished
to learn that the local canoe club was but
little more than name, and that its So
called members kept their valuable
canoes and other paraphernalia in spaces
rented in what is, to all intents and pur-
poses, barn! There must be between
fifty and sixty owners of canoes in Mount
Holly, surely enough to form permanent
organization and take the initial steps in
a movement to erect building that would
be a credit to local pride and an adorn-
ment to the beautiful stream upon whose
banks 1t would stand. Burlington boasts
two prosperous boat clubs, owning valu-
able homes. The house of the Yapewi
Aquatic club, at Bordentown, is the center
of the social life of the young people of
that city; and the Beverly Boat club is en-
terprising and has an attractive property.
All these organizations had small begin
nings, and there seems to be no valid
reason to prevent our local enthusiasts
from doing as they have done. The main
thing is to make the start. A desirable
location can easily be secured, and the
project could be financed by bond issue
among the members, making the annual
dues large enough to cover running ex-
penses and provide sinking fund to pay
off bond or two year.
/ am informed that the July celebra-
ton is to be made an annual event May
the festivities of 1879 center about a
modern and up-to-date club house, the
property of the local canoe club.
Yours truly,
SPORT LOVER.

ATLANTIC CITY's special grand jury Is at
work, and although there Is a pledge Of
secrecy attached to their workings, there
Is suspicion that somebody has talked,
for there are rumors of indictments In
which names Of people prominent In At
lantic county have been mentioned. The
state of affairs In that county has been
the subject Of comment for a long time,
and 1t Is to be hoped. that the rumors of
rascality will be thoroughly Investigated
with the result of clearing what appears to
be a very much polluted atmosphere. Bur-
lington county has reason to feel proud of
its record In the selection of sheriffs, and
the way in which these officers have done
their duty. True, at one session, the pre-
siding judge felt 1t his duty to call atten-
tion to an act which sheriff had commit
ted in connection with an execution. but
the jury ignored the charge. With this
exception there has been little criticism of
the manner In which the sheriffs of Bur-
lingt0n county have administered the
affairs entrusted to them. Especially is
this SO In the case of Sheriff Worrell, and
unless something unforeseen happens he
will soon draw his last grand jury without
objections from court or public The
general feeling is one of regret that the
constitution of the state prohibits the
people from voting for Sheriff Worrell to
succeed himself.

TINS WEEK petitions will be sent out
asking to have placed on the election
tickets the proposition to abolish the
Board Of Freeholders. From present In
dications there will not be any trouble to
secure the necessary number Of signatures
The general impression is that the situa-
tion cannot be any worse than at present
and there is a feeling that much good can
accrue from change. Certainly business
will not be conducted In that helter-skelter
fashion that has been the rule in the past.
The only way In which any definite
opinion can be formed is from what has
resulted In other counties where the com
mission plan is In use. Last year letters
were published In The News from several
of those communities and the statement
was that there had been great improve
meut In business transactions and that, in
no case, would the old system be returned
to- We think the Board should be
abolished.
