COMPANY DISHES.

What a feeling of security It gives
3 housekeeper to have in her store
room, pantry or cake box some Of
the needed accessories for a meal.
She is a more gracious hostess and
one which it is a delight to visit. Be
hind the forced smile of welcome, how
many a heart has sunk because there
was nothing in the house to offer a
friend.
Just have a few things that are kept
for emergencies, and if used are
quickly supplied. One does not like
to offer boughten cakes or cookies to
guests, as the recipes which we on
slider so choice and of which we are
justly proud, make such delightful
things at much less cost.
A small cake which can be put into
the store room in a jar and covered
to keep from drying win keep for
months, and be sure your friends will
always ask for it. The recipe is:
Fruit Cake.-Seed and cut in quar-
ters a pound of dates, add a cup of
%cocoanut or other nuts as desired; two
cups of -four, a cup Of shortening, a
t%easpoonful of cinnamon, a grating Of
nutmeg, teasponful each Of vanilla
and lemon, less of lemon If it is not
agreeable, a teaspoonful Of soda dis
solved in half a cup of boiling water,
a cup and a half of sugar, a teaspoon
full of salt and three well beaten eggs.
Add the soda and water the very last.
Bake in gem pans, a tablespoonful in
each. This recipe makes about thirty
small cakes, which will keep and
grow better with age.
There is something uncommonly ap-
petizing about sardines used in sand
wiches. One may always have a few
boxes of these on hand for a quick
lunch.
Pimento cheese, with saltines and
coffee, is a dessert which will be en-
joyed.
A cup of dry cheese grated and
mixed with a little tabasco sauce or
cream, red pepper and onion juice or
other s~easonings, will keep, If covered
with a cloth dampened with vinegar.
The delicious sauces which may be
added to ice creams and make them
so much more elegant may be put up
in fruit season, and will always be
ready when needed.
Salmon mixed with ~cecoanut and a
few chopped pickles, moistened with a
small amount of salad dressing,
served on lettuce, makes a very nice
salad, and not a common one.
A few cooked peas left from dinner,
If washed from the sauce in which
they were served, added to a slice or
two of tomato, a bit of chopped onion
and a lettuce leaf makes another salad
good enough to set before company.

WAYS TO USE PEANUTS

Peanuts are good with bread crumbs
prepared as a loaf baked, served with
tomato sauce as a meat loaf.
When the nuts are ground and
mixed with creamed butter or sweet
cream, a very good sandwich filling
results.
For salad, they are good in combina-
ton with cabbage or ~sprinkled over
lettuce, served with French dressing.
Peanut butter makes a variety for
the flavor of soup, using the peanut
butter and one tablespoonful Of but
ter with two of flour for the binding
of a cream soup.
Peanut Nougat.-Shell and remove
the skins from a pound of peanuts;
chop fine and sprinkle with a fourth
of a teaspoonful of salt. Put a pound
of sugar in a clean granite sauce pan
and stir over the heat until melted.
When a rich brown, add the nuts and
pour into a creased pan. Mark off in
squares. If the nuts are added as
soon as the sugar is melted, the candy
is of a different consistency, liked by
many.
Peanut Candy.-Prepare a quart Of
peanuts, as above; roll them with a
rolling pin until like coarse bread
crumbs. Boil together six ounces OF
butter and a pound of light brown
sugar for ten minutes. stirring con-
stantly to keep from burning; add the
peanuts, and when cool mark off in
squares. If carefully made, this is
by far fhe best peanut candy n may
make at home.

Summer Schools Success.

So successful has been the expert
ment with the summer school plan in
Passaic that the members of the
Board of Education are convinced of
it's wider possibilities to such an ex-
tent that they will increase the appro-
priation for this purpose next year. An
exhibit of the work, which included
instruction in arithmetic, grammar,
history, geography and spelling, also
in sewing and manual training, was
held. There were written papers on
the various subjects, also specimens of
the handiwork of the girls and boys,
who made Indian and Mexican baskets
and various other articles useful in
the household, of raffia, cane and
reed; of hemstitching on girls collars,
arons, work bags, work baskets and
towels, also numerous pieces of hand
embroidery and crochette work.
Among the articles on show we're six
teen chairs which had been caned and
finished off by boys and girls alike.
Interest of Students.
"The experiment has proved a sue
cess beyond expectations" said Prin-
cipal Lodor, discussing the school.
Some of the members of the Board
of Education who at first had doubts
about the step became highly enthusi-
astic after they saw what had been
accomplished by the students, who
displayed the deepest interest in their
work throughout the term. Present
indications are that more than 90 per
cent. of the pupils will succeed in pass
ing the final tests. The $1,000 appro-
priated by the schoolboard for this
work has therefore been well spent
and every member realizes the fact.
Because Of the fine attendance at the
summer school the city will receive
about $500 extra this year from the
State for school purposes, leaving the
net cost to the city of about $500 to
teach 24O pupils for a period of two
months" Assisting Principal Lodor
were these teachers who forsook their
regular vacations: Misses Elsie H.
Crawford, Emily Walker, J. E. Wood
ruff, Sylvene A. Nye, Helen E. Rich
ardson, Lucy B. Singer, Sara Wisner,
Catherine R. Albright and Mary A
Dwyer.

limited States Court Fixes Basis for

Claims of the Municipality
Against Central Railroad.

fSnecial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-United States Judge Rell-
stab fled an opinion deciding for the

Jersey against the Mayor n Alder
men of Jersey City in the much ltdgat-
ed tax cases where the railroad COM
blamed that the local taxing authorl-
ties had assessed third class property
Of the road for more than its value
when considered in connection Win
assessments made against the proper
ty of individuals. This class of prop
erty is that owned by a railroad but
not used for railroad purposes and
comes directly within the authority OF
the taxing men of the municipality to
tax. The court says that it has been
proven that the local taxing authori-
ties of Jersey City have been guilty OF
Intentional and systematic discriml-
nation in making assessments, and
goes on to show how the railroad can
get relief from the burden tehy are
under.
Will Create Stir.
This sweeping decision for the rail
road is bound to create a stir, for the
roads in Jersey City have long main
tanned that the assessors of that NUM-
cipality deliberately undervalued prop
erty adjacent to railroads and at
points further way from them, thus
allowing individuals to get low Valua-
ton, and then deliberately soaked the
railroads" The court finds that this
is true, and comments that the author
tiles of Jersey City have not denied
this charge of the soak the railroads"
policy. The court compels the ascer-
tanning of the correct valuation OF
property based on assessed values
placed on adjoining property. In 9TH
err words the court says that a wrong
has been done the railroad by the as
SCISSORS of Jersey City, and forbids the
city to sell any property of the rail
roadfor taxes in excess of a correct
amount in line with that on adjacent
property of individuals.
Unit for Valuing.
In determining the unit for valuing
property the courts finds that the as
sors of Jersey City have adopted 70
per cent. and agrees that this figure
would be the basis for determining the
value of this railroad property for the
tax levy. This decision affects all of
the taxes from 1899 to the present
time. These values as fixed by the
local assessing force run from $780,
900 in 1879, to $685. 900 in 1906, $780,
900 in 1906, $2,937,00 in 1907. and con
tinuing to that figure to the present
time. To this must be added valuation
for property of the company in New
York bay valued at $771, 900 in 1899,
to $1,45O,O0O at the present time. On
these properties the company has paid
up to 100000 a year, and from the de.
cree they are entitled to something
between one-third to one-half of the
money back.
