LOSING THE BEST.

It is always a pity that so many
of the people who spend the summer
with us have to leave US and return
to their city homes just when the
country is putting on its greatest
beauty. They are here through the
heat of the summer, and are fortu-
nate to be able to come out to the
shore where the heat is tempered by
the almost unfailing breezes from the
Atlantic ocean. But they lose the best
Think what most of this week has
: been likel Cool, crisp, lung-filling,
nerve-feeding, health-giving. The air
has been rich with ozone. The sun
has been warm enough to temper the
wind to the fellow without an over
coat The man or woman who could
get out into the open, and did not
move with more spring to the step,
did not look out of eyes glowing with
new brightness, did not "ginger up"
in every way under the stimulus of
quickened blood, is to be pitied.
The frost has been calling out the
gorgeous colorings Of the trees. The
z full effect has not yet been reached,
but there are many splashes of ex-
uuisite color mingling here and there
with the masses of still green leaves.
Soon the whole landscape will be
glowing with infinitely varied tints,
and the mellow, almost velvet-like,
sunshine Of the Indian summer will
enfold it all, while at dusk the golden
rays of the setting sun reflects most
beautifully upon the placid bosom of
Lakes Bay. Pity our city friends can

ROYAL ARCANUM HAS LARGE
MEETING AT VINELAND.

Probably the largest and certainly
the most enthusiastic Royal Arcanum
meeting ever held in Southern New
Jersey was that in the Relief Council
chambers at Vineland on Tuesday
evening of last week. Over hun
dred Arcanians were present, all inn
bued with the idea that the principles
of the Arcanum, which are home pro-
tective, are becoming greater in the
eyes of the people every day. Visit
ore were present from Elizabeth,
Pleasantville, Camden, Bridgeton and
Atlantic City. Grand Vice-Regent
Charles H. Haring, of Elizabeth, con-
graduated South Jersey for the spir-
it of progression that was shown.
Mr.. Haring made a short address in
which he expressed the hope that peo-
pie would wake up to the grand fact
that the home is the foundation of
this great country and all the safe
guards that can be thrown around it
by the fathers for the safety of the
mothers and children are worthy eff
forts in good cause.
Supreme Representative Frank H.
Walls, who was appointed by Regent
Cooper to introduce visitors, was
kept busy bringing them in until the
hall was filled. At this juncture the
Camden degree team appeared in uni
form and initiated three new mem
bers with all the interesting ceremo-
ny for which the Arcanum is admired.
After the initiation all present met
and formed society to be known as
"The Royal Arcanum Associated
Councils of South Jersey" the object
of which is to spread the benefits OF
the EArcanum through all this end OF
the State. Lunch was served and the
visitors were taken to Newfeld in au-
tomobiles to catch the midnight ex-
press.
From Pleasantville there were pres
ent Charles W. Ingersoll, Franklin E
Colescott and Bertram E. Whitman.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

1t is possible to reduce the high
cost of living, simply by wrecking
manufacturing and other employing
industries, so that consumers will not
have the money to purchase with, and
consumption will fall off; this alone
will reduce the cost somewhat, but
we cannot get cheap things even, if
we have no cash to buy with. The
remedy is worse than the disease.
The old story of the Irishman and
the potatoes, is applicable to the stu
alton. In this country he complained
that it took twenty pence to buy as
many potatoes as he could get in Ire
land for six pence. why didn't you
stay in Ireland?" asked the man to
whom he complained. Faith and I
could not get the six pence there"
was Pats prompt reply. - Elmer

Terse, Tart, Timely
Short and Snappy Sayings to Interest
Old and Young

The next important date on the po-
litical calendar will be the general
election, which will be held on Tues
day, November 5th. Momentous is
sues are now hanging in the balance
and everybody will be glad when it is
all over, even though the whole coun-
try is sizzling with unbounded pros
perity. What more do the people
want and what more can be done?
While thinking about making your
fall purchases, it will be well to re-
member that the merchants of Pleas
antville are laying in seasonable
goods and in way providing for
your needs. 1t is but just that all
should give them a call and see what
they have to offer. Remember when
you buy at home, your purchase is
backed up by the merchants, and at
the same time you contribute to the
prosperity of your home town. The
home stores are entitled to your con-
sideration in the matter of buying.
Anything that helps to cheaper
transportation helps to lower the
price of commodities, it is said. Now
we have the statement that the motor
truck will help to reduce the high cost
of living. The assertion to this eff
feet is made by motor truck author
ity who points out that the secret is
the cheaper transportation which the
power wagon will provide for the far
mer and the produce merchants in
handling foodstuffs. The farmer with
a motor truck, with his farm forty
miles from the city, can reach town
quicker and carry bigger load than
can the man whose farm is only ten
miles away and who depends on the
horse.

HUBIN HATES TO
LEAVE PLEASANTvILLE.


As he spoke to the editor of The
Pleasantville Press, he said: II have
always liked Pleasantville and the
people here. They have always
treated me fine. The little children
have been my friends and I have
made money and am more than pleas
ed with my New Theatre. But hav-
ing a big business in Atlantic City
and by trying to run both places it
was undermining my health-too
much work. And after due consider
alton have leased my Handsome
Theatre to firm that will conduct
it on refined plane and present only
the latest, grandest and best in the

to cater to ladies, gentlemen and

MORE USE FOR
SCHOOL BUILDINGS,

Why should not the public schools
be used for polling places? Election
day is legal holiday and the schools
are conveniently distributed. This is
among the recommendations by City
Superintendent Poland, looking to a
more general use Of school buildings
for civic and social purposes. On the
same lines is the advocacy of Sunday
concerts in the Central High School,
like those in Carnegie Hall, New
York. We are only beginning to re-
alize the value of the asset that a
community has in its school build
ings. Mere book learning for chill
dren is only one phase of their poten-
tial usefulness for the uplift of the
Newark Star.

ALWAYS FAVORED DISH
HOW cUsTARDs FOR DESSERTS
MAY BE VARIED.
baked In Individual Cups Is Probably
the Most Popular Form-Fresh
Grated cocoanut Favored
With orange-Taplooa.

Baked custards in individual cups
will always be a favorite dessert at
simple dinners. One egg yolk and
one tablespoonful of sugar to every
cupful Of milk is an excellent rule for
these custards. More yolks than this
makes them "eggy" in flavor and the
whites are not needed. In fact, the
custard Is much better with the
whites, as they will, unless great care
ls taken, form in tough strings or rise
to the top in Jumps while the custard
Is baking. Do not forget to add tiny
pinch of salt.
For simple custards little nutmeg
imparts as good flavor as vanilla OF
any Of the ordinary extracts. Custards
favored with grated orange rind are
delicious. Chocolate grated over the
top just before the dessert is put into
the oven is a pleasant addition to Gus
tards favored with vanilla or almond.
The chocolate forms an appetizing
crust over the top, leaving the custard
beneath It's original color.
Custards made with fresh grated CO.
coanut are delicious, especially
favored with grated orange. Lemon
or vanilla may, however, be USED.
Butter the custard cups, sprinkle over
the buttered surface as much sugar
as the butter will hold. Then dredge
literally with cocoanut and pour the
custard into the cups. The measure
of sugar in the cocoanut custard may
be more liberal as the addition OF CO.
coanut increases the bulk.
For tapjoca custard not so many
egg yolks are needed, two cupfuls OF
cooked tapioca taking the place OF
two of the yolks. Let the tapioca COOK
in water until 1t ~ transparent. ana
use just enough wster to prevent lrs
burning. All a little salt and let 1t get
cold before using.
Cup custards are made more festive
in appearance II each Is decorated on
top with spoonful Of brightly colored
Jelly, a candied cherry or a preserved
strawberry and a rosette OF whipped
cream. Or, If preferred, cover the top
Of each with a meringue.
Baked custard has a peculiarly dell
cate flavor which boiled custard does
not possess. Spoonfuls Of 1t often
make a more delicious accompaniment
to desserts than a boiled custaro
sauce. 1t is especially good WIN

or other summer fruits.-NeW VOTE

How to Egg and Crumb Croquettes.
Slightly beat an egg and add one
tablespoon Of water. Dip the croquetto
in this mixture and then roll It in
very fine cracker or stale bread
crumbs. The process may be repeated
twice.. which insures the croQuette
against soaking fat.
Rules for Testing Fat for Frying
Drop into the hot fat cube Of bread
from the inside of the loaf, and If In
40 seconds 1t is a golden brown. the
fat is then of the right temperature
for frying any mixture which has been
previously cooked. For uncooked foods
use the same test, allowing one min
