At the Theatres

Every person interested in stage
craft will derive unusual pleasure
from the production of The LITER" at
the Garrick Theatre this week. The
house has presented few attractions in
its long career that could approach
this one i'm its scenic arrangements.
The first scene shows a thunder
storm. with all its attendant features.
that is quite the most realistic bit of
stage work seen here in long time.
The rain beats against the windows
and the lightning flashes across a sky
that is wonderfully true in coloring--
from the distance the audience sees IL.
The second act is a street scene in
New York, and the third the drawing
room of a home on Riverside drive.
II will be a long time before vaude-
vile is offered a feature than can
compare with THE LITER"

A GREAT VOICE SPEAKs FOR THE RIGHT.

A GREAT VOICE SPEAKS FOR THE RIGHT.
THE conference of the Methodist Episcopal
4 Church in session in this city yesterday spoke
out in ringing terms against bribery and corrup-
ton in our politics
No one has supposed that the great body OF
Methodists countenanccd for moment any viola
tion of the constitution such is involved in the
illegal Of money at elections, but the confer
cnce went on record as a reply TO a remark of
ton that the buying OF votes did not seem to affect
ones standing a church member in Delaware.
AS the largest religious denomination in the
state the Methodists felt that such remark cast
reproach upon the state especially in the outside
world, and the position of the Methodsts is now
$50 clear that there can be no misunderstanding.
In the future the practice of corruption will at
feet the standing of mans membership in the
church for the conference makes the solemn pledge
Ito bring TO trial persons accused of violating the
election law.
The conference also pledges itself to continue
war against the evil of corruption until all venal
Office holders arc driven from Office and all cor
rupters of voters are either lodged in jail or shall
reform and become law abiding citizens AS re-
suit of the action Of conference there will be a
number of political reformations, for notice is
served upon those who engage-in illegal practices
or arc tempted to do so that corruption in cleo
tons will not be tolerated by public sentiment
The Methodist Episcopal Conference has struck
a telling blow for clean elections. 1t is great
voice that has spoken for a decent Delaware.

Instead of gaining one day in seven
he lost all his days.
On Sunday morning his neighbOrs
hitched up to their carriages and took
their families to the church. There
they enjoyed social contact that WAS
congenal and in the uplift Of spirit,
ual things found refreshment, going
back to their week day labors with Il

My farmer, like Gallo, cared for

faith and hope to the hills whence all

THE IMPORTANCE
OF CLEAN CREAM.
Careless Dairy Methods Re-
SpOnsibIe For Poor Butter.

The most important management for
making good butter. whether at the
creamery or on the farm. is to have
good cream. Good butter cannot be
made from poor cream, and 1t Is use
less to try 1t. The cream must be
ripened properly and then handled In
the right way in churning.
In order that butter may have
good flavor and texture 1t must be
made from clean milk. BAD favors
and Offensive odors can be traced usu-
ally to filthy milk. Bacteria cause
most Of the bad flavors and other poor
qualities of milk, and If the cream is
not handled in a Clearly manner these
bacteria may multiply very rapidly.
More and more Is it becoming nee
essary to grade cream at the creamery.
Some creameries grade and pay pre-
MUM for good cream. This generally
stimulates more interest in the ripen-
ing oflcream in the proper manner and
discourages poor PRODUCTS.
Some creameries require that sweet
cream be separated from the sour and
that each be put in cans by itself.
Sweet cream is graded as No. l. sour
cream as No. 2. Sometimes as much
as 2 cents pound for butter fat is
paid as a premium for good cream in
winter and cents In summer. II Is
found that this method pays the cream
: cry. for it enables it to make better
products.
