A D BREAKFAST.

In these days of many weddings
when all nature is in bloom to assist
in making them impressive and beau
tifula few suggestions on the important
subject Of eating may not be amiss.
If the wedding repast is to be a break
fast many dainty dishes which would
be out Of place for an afternoon or
evening collation. may be served.
For a first course at a breakfast
fruit seems especially appropriate, and
as there are countless ways of pre-
senting this dish one may, II inge-
NOUS, originate something unsual.
There Ia no prettier dish than fresh
strawberries with tho bulls left on
surrounding a mound Of nodded pow
dered sugar and garnishsd with the
fresh leaves Of tho strawberry. though
that Is not at all new.
Chopped and mixed fruits sweeten-
ed with a heavy strip Is another appe-
tizing beginning.
Doubtless there may be better meat
dishes than fried chicken, but the
most OF US mortals will still hold to
our fondness for the tender fowl. With
the fried chicken let us have some
creamed potatoes, prepared by cutting
in uniform cubes and cooking them
until tender, then after draining them
heat In a rich white sauce made Of
two tablespoonful Of -four and butter
cooked together, salt and a dash Of
red pepper and a cup OF thin cream or
rich milk. Cook until thick, then add
the potatoes. With this dish of chick
en- and potatoes a few tips Of aspar-
agus seasoned with butter and served
on toast triangles, all on the same
plate. will make the main dish.
An unusual salad and very good,
too. Is pear, pineapple and nuts with
a little dressing served on heart leaves
Of lettuce. This, with rolls, makes a
nice salad course.
Strawberry ice cream, with crushed
berries as q sauce served on 1t, and
the brides cake with coffee, finishes
q repast fine enough for any bride.
Olives and sailed nuts may be
served with the meat course, and pan
dies make a pretty table decoration
that may be passed after the coffee.

the ordinary glass furnishings Of the
dining room closet and sideboard. but
dozens of useful things for the kitch-

years ago.
This is called a crystal shower. In
vitations might be written ON isinglasS
and they might invite the prospective
guests to a crystal luncheon on a GER

which is, of course, omitted on the
invitation card of the future bride, an
nounces a crystal (glass) shower to
follow the luncheon and invites each
guest to send in advance of the date
any crystal contribution which she
wishes to make, ticketed with her
name.
Naturally, glass appointments are
used as much as possible for the
luncheon table setting. Every house
hold boasts q certain number of these
crystal appointments in the way OF
flower bowls, c%andlesticks, side dishes.

der which is necessary to carry out
the effect can be added from the
cheap glass goods in the ten-cent
stores. For the centerpiece have the
glass slipper Of Cinderella filled with
candles OF flowers.
At each cover have a place card, on
which is written, together with the
name of the guest, some allusion TO or
proverb concerning glass which the
guest is required to read aloud and
complete or amplify.
For instance, the word Houses
might be empliled into the proverb
about people who live in glass houses
throwing stones. Or the guest can be
called on to say who was described as
'The glass of fashion," OIL whence We
have the saying Through a glasa
darby" ALL those who answer the
glass questions successfully might
draw for a prize In the shape OF .
good hand-mirror.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE,.

The present mix-up In the Repub-
lican party over the presidential
electors calls attention to a part Of
81 election system which was out
grown years ago. We refer to the
electoral college which the constitu-
tion declares shall meet every four
year to chose a President of the
United States. The electors are to
be elected by the people of the vari-
GUS states, but it was not the inten-
ton of the constitution makers that
the people themselves should elect
the President, this right being given
exclusively to the electoral college.
1t seems that in several of the
states the presidential electors for
the coming election have already
been nominated. Many of these cleo
tors, although named as Republi-
cans, have declared their intention
OF voting for Roosevelt for president
should they be elected. This, under
the constitution, they have a perfect
right to do. According to our pres
ent method of electing a president
OF the United States, the people in
reality have absolutely nothing to
say as to who the man shall be.
The constitution makers feared that
the people at large could not be
trusted to select a man for the
great Office of president, therefore.
they provided for the electoral col
lege. They allowed the people to
elect men to this board, but gave
the board the absolute right to
pick any man they desire for presi-
dent.
During recent years, however,
this electoral college has been little
more than a fgurehead, for the
great national conventions Of the
various parties have gradually come
into vogue and the people, to all in
tents and purposes, have voted di-
rectly for the presidential candi-
dates, the electors being voted for
merely to comply with the constitu-
ton and when they met their vote
was merely perfunctory.
This year, however, there are a

LOCAL TRAFFIC IGNORED.

The Trenton True American is
finding fault with the Public Utility
Commission because 1t has rejected
the petitions of the towns along the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad in
the northern end of Mercer county,
asking for better train service.
The Philadelphia & Reading,
combined with the Jersey Central,
make a great feature Of their
every hour on the hour trains be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
All other trains, apparently are
made secondary to this service, the
accommodation trains being sand
wiched in between regardless Of the
requirements of the stations along
the route.
Such places as Pennington, Hope
well and Skillman get comparative
ly few trains a day and at %inconven-
lent hours, while express trains get
every advantage. When the Public
Utility Commission was asked by
these towns to require the railroad
companies to give them better &C
z.-z~I-+;~n 4hn M m iccinn do
cided that the express service be-
tween New York and Philadelphia
should not be interfered with. In
commenting on this decision, the
True American says that the COM
mission has repeated the error of
"subvertingNth right Of the little
to the mere greed Of big
citizens"
"In other words" the True AMer-
lean goes on to say, "the commits
sion has once more permitted the
of Big Business to tri-
umph over the welfare OF small
property owners, a mistake which In
generation OF special privileges
has made millionaires so numerous
as to become a menace, and paupers
so plentiful as to become a disgrace
to the republic"
Perth Amboy can sympathize with
the Mercer county towns. We have
here a great number Of express
trains, carrying through traffic from
New York to the coast resorts,
while Perth Amboy has practically
no accommodations going to and
from Long Branch and Asbury
Park. Here, again, the desire to
cater to "Big Business" causes the
travel from intermediate stations to
be ignored.
We agree with the True Ameri-
can that the Public Utility Commits
sion has made a mistake In its de-
cisjon and unless greater Justice Is
done in this regard the people will
lose confidence in the board entirely.

COVER THE GARBAGE BARREL

The decision of the Board OF
Health to enforce that section Of
the sanitary code which requires
that all garbage recepticles shall be
yater-tight and kept covered, is a
big step toward the elimination OF
the fly nuisance. Every n knows
that the garbage barrel, as it %
commonly known, is one Of the
greatest breeders of the fly in the
city. When we pause a moment to
consider this, it is no wonder the
housewife becomes Disguised when
she sees these flies swarming over
her victuals that she is placing on
the dining room table.
Just as the elimination of stag
nant pools of water will go a great
way toward killing off the mos
o%uitoes, so will the covered garbage
barrel assist in wiping out the fly.
Every person who has the welfare
of the city at heart will cooperate
with the Board of Health and read
ily comply with their desire to en-
force this section of the sanitary
code,

The SiIo For Beef Production.

Heretofore the only chance for profit
in winter feeding of cattle has been in
the margin between the prices of the
feeders in the fall and the finished
beeves in the spring. This margin had
to more than compensate for the loss
on the gains put on in the feed lot. If
the cost of production could be so re-
duced that the gains secured would pay
the cost of production the chief ele-
ment of uncertainty would be eliminat'
ed. This is where the silo makes good,
Not only does it save the entire crop,
but it reduces the feeding cost to a
profitable basis.

$4,000 in CASH
WITHOUT AN OWNER.
That Amount Is Lost Every Year
In Spokane.

Sounds like a fairy story to hear Of
$4,000 or more in real cash and no
farther away than Spokane being lost
every year just because no one claims
it, and any Inland Empire rancher
could have a share Of it without much
trouble or expense. In fact, the rail
roads are willing to help any one try
for this money, and there is a book
printed each year just to tell all the
particulars and the easiest way to get
in on this. But, in spite of everything,
this money is left homeless year after
year. Nobody can figure out the rea:
son for this. Perhaps the public don't
believe that the money is good, or
maybe they think it is like the April
! purses-with q stout cord attached
but, as a matter of fact, the money is
real and no strings of any kind are
fastened to 1t.
All this refers to the Spokane Fair
and the money it gives away each
year in prizes. The 1912 premium
list was issued May l. Any n can
have a copy for nothing by writing
the secretary of the Fair. There are
more than $4,000 worth of prizes list
ed in this book. on which competition
is open to the world. and yet every
year only one-half to two-thirds OF
these prizes are contested for or claim
ed simply because the Inland Empire
ranchers and citizens don't take the
pains to send in entries.
However, an increasing number
each year do compete. Since 1904 the
entries have risen from 1851 to 7,4O4
last year, and the Spokane Fair people
anticipate keen competition this year
in nearly every department. One OF
the most interesting will be the old
time county and district display
prizes, for which $2.250 has Deer ap
propriated. This contest used to be
the feature of the famous old fruit
fairs and ought still to make a hit
now that there are so many new pro
ducing districts.
The railroads are doing everything
possible to hep the Spokane Fair and
are not only making very low passen
ger rates for Fair week, Sept. 30 to
Oct. 6, but also special freight and ex-
press rates OF exhibits. Complete In
formation about rates may be obtain
ed from any railroad agent or the Sec
rotary of the Fair.
