very fine. Make a sauce by cooking
one tablespoonful of butter and one of
flour, then one cup of chicken liquor.
Season with a little chopped onion,
pepper and salt and mix with chicken.
Make little mounds, nest shaped, on
platter. Drop an egg into each nest.
Cover with buttered crumbs and
bake until the whites are firm. Serve
with plain cream or mushroom sauce.
Potatoes en- Surprise.
Season one pint of hot msahed po-
tatoes with one tablespoonful of but
ter, one teaspoon of salt, one-fourth
of celery salt, one-fourth of pepper.
Add six drops onion juice, cool slight
ly, add yolk Of one egg, shape in
balls, fill center with creamed chick
en-, peas or sweet-breads. Dip in
eggs and crumbs and fry in hot fat
Cheese Canapes

bread in narrow slices half an inch
thick and four inches long and re-
and melted butter together and sea-
son with salt and pepper. Spread on
the bread and set in the oven to melt.
Cucumber Catchup.
Crate your cucumbers, sweeten to
taste, and cook Is minutes in vine
gar. Bottle up hot in alright jars.
jam Cake
One cupful sugar, one-half cupfu1
butter, one-balf cupfu1 sour milk,
one cupful of any kind of jam (straW-
berry is best) 1 Il cupsful of -four,
three eggs, one teaspoonful soda,
one-half teaspoonful cloves, CHINA
mon and nutmeg.
Crystalized Oranges.
These should not be prepared long
before they are served, but are deli
cious. Two ways of doing it are
given below:
Peel the orange carefully, remov-
ing every bit of the white pith next
the yellow rind, remove every seed,
and cut crosswise into thin slices
with a very sharp knife. Beat the
whites of two eggs until no longer,
stringy, dip the slices of orange in
this until well coated, then dip into
powdered sugar; let dry and repeat
the process, serving very soon after
the last crying. Another way is to
take small, sweet oranges, and divide
by pulling the sections apart, after re-
moving the rind, and remove the
seeds from each section carefully !;
dip each section into a rich syrup
made with one-half cupful of granu-
lated sugar and one cupful of water.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-10-05

Dip the sections thoroughly in this,
and lay to drain on waxed paper, and
when dry, dip a second, and third
time. The third time before they are
quite dry, roll them lightly in mix
tuTe of chopped malaga raisins and
powdered pecan meats. If intended
for picnic dinners, fold each piece in
WaXed paper.

NOT TOO BUSY TO WRITE TO THE
PAGE

Dear Mrs. Lee: l expect the sis
ters are all like me; busy, busy, busy.
But we must not let our Page Ian
guish for want of letters.
[ have tried all the recipes that
were sent to me, and like them fine.
We have enjoyed our beefsteak much,
and every time one of the grand
children comes in, he wants to know
ii [ have got any Of those. ginger
cakes cooked. | would like very
much to give something in return,
but [ know so little, and l never can
originate anything. There are a few
little things [ have read and tried,
that l will pass in.
Much has been said about custards.
but one important item has not been
mentioned. All custards should be
cooked very slowly, to be just right.
My men folks Ct believe all the wo-
men cook for their men folks) like
plate pies but will not eat pan-pies
with dumplings hey will highly rel
ish pies Of canned peaches, if baked
in plates, slowly, with very thin
crust; when if l bake a peach pie in
pan, | generally have to throw it
away They also like ginger snaps,
made from this recipe: two cups of
syrup, One-half cup Of lard, one Ia
blespoon heaping full of ginger, and
one tablespoon heaping full of
soda.
l have been trying for my rheu-
matism little recipe that has helped
me and I think is good for the gen.
eral health. Take the juice of a half
a lemon and one-fOurth teaspoon of
soda, little water if preferred, to
be taken before breakfast.
1t any of the sisters do any hand
sewing or basting, they will find that
they will not be troubled SO much
with the thread knotting if they will
remember to tie the knot in the end
of the thread that they break off
from the spool or ball.
| wish every writer for this Page
would express herself upon what she
thinks is the most important thing
for a woman at the head of house
hold to do, or TO keep in mind.
I wish the lady from Arkan-
sas would write again and tell us
something about mothers and their
daughters. How can mothers teach
their daughters how to act toward
young men? | realize that parents
are at a great disadvantage in try
ing to teach their children, on ac-
count of the tendency of children to
regard their parents as old fogies,
not up to date, about anything. Is
there any way to counterfeit that?
I like The Jeffersonian better than
any paper we take, and we take a
good many. 1t is the only one l read
through. I hope the sisters will all
come forward with letters.
Sincerely, L. T. RUSSELL. \

The mattress and springs of
durable quality will cost another
SIS and a good mahogany dresser
can hardly be secured for much
less than $50. A mahogany small
rocker and low chair will be an
other $40.
If, instead of mahogany, white
furniture is used, the cost will be
considerably less.
A white iron or white wooden
bedstead may be had for about
$40, if the shopper uses discrim-

One very attractive bedroom
was furnished by a young woman
by the process of enamelling
cheap wood bedstead and dresser.
A rocker, bought for 70 cents at
a department store sale in a small
city where she lives, and a low
wooden kitchen chair, whose cost
was less than 90 cents, completed
the actual furniture of a lilac and
white room that was charming
and which had been arranged at
minimum expense.
In addition to this furniture the
bride will find that a shirt
waist box, covered with a. cheap
and pretty cretonne, will be a
great convenience in the room
and that its use will do away with
the necessity of one chair.
The window curtains may be of

Never go without some effec-
tive antiseptic in the house. Pc
roxide of hydrogen is good. Use
it just as it comes from the bottle
as sold by druggists. Another
good antiseptic is solution of
corrosive sublimate. One of the
standard tablets and by drug
gists dissolved in a pint of water
makes a l;l0O0 solution, which
is of the proper strength for
washing wounds.
Be careful in handling corro-
sive sublimate, for it is deadly
poison.
It's greatest use is in old sores
that have refused to heal with
simple remedies,
In these cases battle the sore
often and keep the bandages sat
urated with the solution during
the day and night.

Propaganda.

The other day something happen
ed In Milwaukee,. America was
shocked to see a Socialist elected to
the highest office in a municipality.
Victor T.. Berger, one Of the ablest
Socialists in the United States, said
in a recent interview. Our entire
method of propaganda ts and has
been in the past, the use Of 1itera-
ture. We distributed about 10000
pieces In this campaign"
Advertising again won a victory.
Whereas all good advertising is
educational in the SENSE of teaching
men to do something that the teach
|er wants them to do, this socialistic
propaganda taught at least $4,000 OF
the citizens of Milwaukee that social
ism was better than democracy, and
the secrecy of the old political sys-
tenn pushed them to q point where
| they were willing to give socialism q
trial.
Merchants might learn much from
the Berger statement of this princi-

persistent appeal to the common peo-
| pie, written In the commo tongue,
dealing with the MINOR problems
from the common viewpoint OF dol
lars and cents; talking as men dc
about their dinner pals at the noon

poRT HEADING RESTLESS.

Port Reading is another section OF
Woodbridge township that is grow
Ing dissatisfied with the kind of
treatment being given 1t by the
township committee.
There Is already much feeling In
the Keasbey and Fords sections and
II would not be surprising at any
time to see the agitation there de-
velop in favor of forming a new
municipality. or becoming annexed
to Perth Amboy. In fact 1t seems
as II the whole township. even
Woodbridge village itself, Is becom-
Ing greatly exercised over the man
ner in which the township commit
tee is running things and it would
not be- surprising If something hap
pened before long.
Al mass meeting was held in Port
Reading Thursday night for the pur-
pose of considering the proposition
of becoming annexed to the borough
Of Roosevelt. 1t win be remember
ed that when Roosevelt was ineor-
porated, including the two towns OF
Carferet and Chrome, an effort was
Hade to have Port Reading Join
with them. 1t was felt, however,
that this would cover too much ter
ritory for the population and the
project was not carried out.
Port Reading is growing and the
people there desire improvements.
Their appeal to the township com.
mittee seems to be In vain and the
people have al idea that they would
Fare better by becoming a part OF
the progressive borough up the
sound.
The movement Is just being start
ed. but unless Woodbridge wakes up
It with find that all the thickly pop
nlated sections OF the township will
have broken away, leaving only the
village Of Woodbridge proper, with
some OF the outlying country dis.
tricts, for the township.
There Is no doubt hat Wood
bridge township is growing more
rapidly than any other section in tbs
vicinity and for that reason it can,
not be expected that a mere town

people for Ill time.

THE FREEHoLDER PROBLEM.

There seems to be a great deal OF
agitation throughout the state con-
corning the constitutionality of the
law permitting second class coun-
ties to put into effect the smaller
Board of Freeholders. The question
was raised In Morris county where,
during last election the proposition
to adopt the smaller board was car
ried by a majority of nine votes.
Several other counties, also, adopted
this law at the same time. In Mid
ldesex county it has been in effect
for several years.
1t seem that after the original
act was passed another Law was
placed on the statute books stating
that second class counties were ex-
empt from this provision. Whether
or not this is constitutional and will
force a radical change in all these
counties. is a matter that is now be-
fore the courts.
The fact, however, that the ma
jority of the counties Of the state
have voted to adopt this smaller
board system would indicate that 1t
is favored by a majority of the peo-
pie of the state, and therefore the
Legislature would be justified in
passing the act at the coming SEES
sion, a%bolishing the old form of
freeholders and making a smaller
board, which Is elected at large in
the county. compulsory throughout
the state.
The new system has been found
to work to good advantage every
where 1t has been tried. It has
ceased to be an experiment and we
believe the counties that are still
under the old system would profit
greatly by being forced to change
without the necessity of laying the
matter before the people at an cleo
tion.

TIME FOR A FIRM A

There is reason to believe that an
effort is being made In some quar-
ters to discredit the recent shake-up
in the police department and make
the changes appear impracticable.
A firm stand is necessary to meet
this agitation. While 1t Is possible
some improvements can still be
made in the new order, yet, as a
whole, the change cannot help but
be beneficial and we believe the ma
iority Of people heartily approve of
1t.
Being a policeman is no ~sineeure
provided the policeman does his
duty. A few years ago the people
voted to raise the pay Of the depart
ment 50 that the men who serve the
public should receive adequate COM
