WILL TEMPT INVALID
DAINTY IDEAS FOR MENU OF
 THE SICK ROOM.
Oyster Tea Something Decidedly New for Supper or Luncheon vermcelIi Toast Both Appe-
 tizing and Nourishing.

Oyster Tea.--To eight oysters,
 chopped very fine, add cup of milk,
 put over the fire in a double boiler
 and bring slowly to the boiling point
 Let it cook slowly for five minutes.
 Then strain through a fine sieve and
 favor with half tablespoonful of salt.
 lave a dainty porridge bowl heated
 in boiling water. Wipe dry, and pour
 into it the oyster tea. This makes a
 nourishing supper or luncheon dish,
 served with thin slices of dry, golden
 brown toast.
 Vermicelli Toast-Heat half pint
 of milk in double boiler. Put one
 tablespoonful of butter and one of
 flour in saucepan and rub them to-
 gether. Let this bubble gently over the fire for two or three minutes,
 Then add the hot milk, little at a
 time, making a smooth cream. In the
 meantime, have two slices of bread thoroughly dried in the oven and toast them to golden brown. Soak the toast in boiling milk, lay 1t on a small china platter or serving plate, and pour the cream dressing over it. Have the yolk of one hard boiled egg ready and quickly press it through a wire sieve over the cream toast. With little care you can make very at tractive dish with the broken, crinkled threads of yolk. Care should be taken not to serve too ample a portion of a dish of this sort. One small piece of T O intf 1u p, and little egg yolk would sometimes appeal to the patient where a larger portion might seem distasteful.
 Chicken Panada. - This can be made from the remains of a roasted fowl. Cut the chicken meat carefully from the bones, making sure to avoid gristle and bone. Chop one cupful of pieces of the chicken very fine. Boil the bones and gristle of the chicken, making a pint of broth. In the mean time soak one-half cupful of bread crumbs in enough milk to cover them. Then press the crumbs through a sieve and mix with the chopped chick
 en. Pour the pint of chicken broth on this mixture. Flavor with pepper and salt as desired Boil for one min
 ute and serve very hot This panada should be of the consistency of a
 thick gruel. A little of 1t served hot
 in dainty soup plate or bouillon cup
 is pleasant change from the regu-
 lar meat broths
 Velvet Creams.-Soak a half box of gelatin in half cupful of cold wa ter for half an hour. Add to this a cupful of sherry, and set the dish con- taining the mixture in boiling water over the fire. Heat this till the gela- tin dissolyes and add a teaspoonful
 of lemon juice and half cupful of
 sugar. Stir for few minutes. Strain through cloth into pan set in a dish of cracked ice and water to. cool. When it starts to jelly add one and a
 quarter cupfuls of cream and stir till 1t thickens. Pour into cut glass lemonade cup or any other attractive dish from which 1t is to be served. Serve as a dessert for supper or luncheon with cream.

REALLY USEFUL CONVENIENCE
 FOR THE TELEPHONE.
White Paper and Pencil Always Ready for the User--Card to Match Room's Colorng Also
 Easily Arranged.

usesul contrivance for the tele- phone stand is a memorandum pad. These can be had in any form from the advertising varieties that are sent out at holiday times to elaborate af- fairs in Russia leather.
 One of the newest and most practi- cal Is an open brass cylinder through which runs thick roIl of white paper. As soon as the memorandum is use- less 1t pulls out of the frame, which has sharp edge that cuts 1t neatly off.
 There is also a pencil The stand ard Is a light brass affair with coiled wire spring.
 For numbers in common use there should be a telephone card. Leather ones can be had to match the coloring of the room. The card for each space slips in grooves and can be renewed as often as the number changes.
 Such card can be made at home by covering two pieces of cardboard with cretonne and joining them The upper card is cut in spaces by means of slits on each side of an inch cen tral strip, with opposite sits two inches away, on either side.
 Cut the cards eight inches wide and fourteen inches long at top of curve, fourteen inches on each side. Leave an inch at top before making first set of slits. Each cut Is half an inch long, with space between the cards. This leaves border on each side of card

 The pipes are held in their places by little brass rings screwed into the up per part of the rack and two more rings screwed into the upper edge serve to suspend it from nails in the wall. These little brass rings, fitted with a screw on one side, may be ob- tained at any ironmongers at very small cost, and are similar to those rings which are so often used for sus- pending small pictures from the wall

ESSENTIALS OF ADVERTISING
The Three Graces, Truth, Courage and Faith, of Prime Importance
 in Good Advertising.

St Elmo Massengale of Atlanta, speaking on "The Essentials of Good Advertising" recently said, among other things:
 "As the years go by the plain state ment of fact, dressed in becoming clothes, has restored public confidence in advertising.
 "So I find one great answer, the greatest moral essential, first in the list is Truth. It is the acid test, the last analysis, the final chemical reduc- tion to the atom
 Truth in the article itself, hon. estly made, with the true ring-gen- uine. An advertised article can lie as well as the advertisement.
 No good merchant, no manufactur- CT, no dealer or trader, no man selling stocks or bonds or lands, or anyone advertising the thousand and one things from gum to guano, or from socks to schools, will begin or succeed in continually advertising except the cornerstone be Truth.
 q would not kill all beauty in adver- Using when I eliminate the false. Truth, like the human form, made in the image of God, is the most beauti- ful thing in the world. Truth in ad- vertising may be painted extensively repulsively, without result or given the glowing tints of a Bougereau.
 That remedy is this: Recognized by advertisers are three great media for publicity: The printed periodical of every class from newspaper to col lege annual, the outdoor sign and bill board, and the street cars.
 "Allsothers are subsidiary, support ing, collateral, even though often es- sential and helpful. Supposing there should be tomorrow cohesive or ganization of these great prime media against fraud. There would be no excuse for the postoffice department to return thousands of dollars to in- Vestors who have sent money to thieves who forced their way into the homes of the people by the use. of the rubber-heeled mail carrier
 Courage is moral. essential to the advertiser to say no to that class of advertising harpies who prey upon him daily with schemes, generally appealing only to vanity, conceived in inlquity, and causing the loss of hun dreds of thousands of dollars annually to legitimate advertising channels.
 Courage is needed by the solicitor to refuse the advertising which he Knows will not pay in his publication
 Courage is needed to stand at the right hand of Truth, and help in the final elevation of advertising to it's place in the commercial life of the world where it properly belongs.
 And with courage goes Faith.
 Inese are the three graces of ad- Vertising: Truth. courage, faith

Pretty and Inexpensive Pipe Rack That Can Be Put Together
 at Home.

We give sketch of a very practi- cal little pipe rack that can be easily and inexpensively made, and it has this advantage, that the pipes are held with the stems upwards, thus pre- venting the nicotine from running into the mouthpiece, thing which always happens with rack in which the pipes are held with the stems pointing downwards.
 For the back, piece of thin wood should be cut, eight inches wide and six inches in height, and for the ledge in front a second piece, an inch and a half wide and eight inches long, will be required. These two pieces of

MAD DOG NO. 4

Number four of the mad dogs which
have developed clear cases of rabies, was
large rabbit hound owned by Mr.. John
R. Crouch, and kept Kennelled at the
boat house on Silver Lake, which was
shot by him on Tuesday.
About week ago the animal was seen
to be moping or out of sorts but not in
any way dangerous. On Monday morn
ing its lower jaw was fallen down and its
limbs partially paralysed DR.. H. B. Nc
Dowell being called, pronounced ita case Of
dumb rabies which beyond doubt it was I.
This is the less common type of rabies, in
which the paralysis first attacks the lower
jaws, while in the second, or furious type,
the paralysis is of the vocal chords and
lower throat muscles, those of the jaw
being last attacked unfortunately.
This dumb rabies can develope in SIX
to IS hours. The Cunningham dog, ap-
parently well the night before, lying with
its lower jaw paralyzed the morning after,
was another instance of this rarer type of
dumb rabies. The TRANscRIPT's warning
look sharply after your dogs, cats and
stock is still good.

Notwithstanding the fact that Delaware
has suffered from the effects OF the dry
and extremely hot weather, some crops
have pulled through ani are being grown
with much success to the responsive soil
between the Delaware and Chesapeake
bays. AN exchange says wheat was Ger.
tainly. better than last year, and many
farmers have gone over thirty and thirty
five bushels to the acre. The corn crop
has been helped by recent rain in the
lower counties, but 10 rural New Castle,
the crop will be record breaking one.
The cantaloupe is King on the Delaware

cantaloupe year. Potatoes are being de.
liVered, and are now almost over. at a
ratio of 5S. 674 barrels, this year, to 157,-
034 barrels last year.
