PAPER BAG
COOKING I
Great System Perfected by N.
Soyer, Famous London Chef.
EXCELLENT FOR ALL FISH.
BY Martha MccuIIoch Williams.

F., BY Martha McCuIIoch Williams.
Cook fish by M. Soyers, paper bag
method for several reasons. The first
but not the best of them Is to save
smells. Experience has shown sthat
the smell, though not absolutely pre-
vented Is SO minimized as to be In
offensive. H%e -
= The second reason is, the saving of
time and trouble. There is absolute
ly no danger of scorching-all the
watching necessary Is look In to see
when the bag Is brown enough to
have, the heat lessened. 1t takes from
three to ten misunderstanding
something on the weather. something
on the fuel-especially II 1t Is gas
and something on the CRATES or jets
In which the burning. goes forward.
When the ba3-corners turn dead
leaf brown and the upper surface Is
family yellow, slack the heat-either
by turning out flame, pushing In. dam
pers, or setting the oven door ajar.
1t Is this lowered heat that prevents
the, possibility of scorching-a pre-
vention which anybody who has ever
cooked will appreciate. :
The last and greatest reason for
the bag Is the lettering of the fish
itself. A paper bag will not make
stale. fish fresh, nor that which Is
coarse and savorless tasty. But given
good fish. 1t will cook 1t to the queens
taste, turning 1t out tender, faky,
flavorous, with all the goodness of
the seasoning or saucing driven
through and through 1t.

of a creek bottom, roughly dressed
fellows, heavily armed, riding in he

GOOD WORK TO BE DONE.

Important work a be done by
the Board of Censors over moving
pictures and posters advertising IN
this city, The acting mayor has
chosen well in naming the board.
Those who have been selected being
at the heads Of the various schools
of the city have the welfare of the
children at heart and can best judge
! what pictures are fit to be shown.
No one knows more than the
| school teacher what effect these NOV
ing pictures have on the young
minds. The scenes depicted on the
films in the various play houses NJ @
reproduced every day on the play
| ground and in the school rooms by
| the youngsters whose minds have alb
| sorbed them. For this reason, there
fore, principals of the schools are
best able to take up this matter and
to keep the city clear of any objec-
tionable features. BY doing faith
full work this board can accomplish
as much for the welfare of the COM
generation as can be done in the
| class rooms. 1t is a work that
should be encouraged by every faith
er and mother in the city.

TRAINS TO ROOSEVELT.

1t is now up to the people OF
Roosevelt to show the Central rail
road that direct train connection be-
tween Perth Amboy and the borough
up the sound, is an absolute neces-
sity. 1t seems this train is to be
run only on Saturday nights, arriv-
ing here at s O'clock and leaving on
the return trip at II o'clock. This
gives the people of Roosevelt time to
come to Perth Amboy, attend the
places of amusement or do shopping
and get back home at a respectable
hour. 1t is up to the people to pat
ronlze this train service thoroughly
in order to make it permanent and
also to convince the Central rail
road that other trains during the
week would be a paying PROPOSE
ton.
Perth Amboy is the logical place
for the people of Roosevelt to come
for their amusement and city shop
ping, Both places are in Middlesex
county and otherwise have a great
deal in common. The drawback,
heretofore, has been the inconven-
fence Of getting back and forth. The
agitation for a direct train service
has been on for several years. The
railroad company has at last con-
scented to try the experiment, as it is
called, and 1t is up to the people to
make good.
With the train between Roose-
welt and Perth Amboy crowded every
Saturday night, the railroad COM
pany would not dare take it off. On
the other hand, they could easily be
induced to add still more trains for
the rest of the week, in order that
the people at Roosevelt may have
somewhere near the accommoda-
tons they are entitled to.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-04-23

alton is growing much the same.
The Smlth-Nugent machine is max
ing a desperate effort to show some
strength outside of Newark, but It
is very feeble. In Middlesex county
a few Of the old time politicians are
still ~clinging to the wrecked ship,
looking to Smith as their captain.
But it is very plain that all the peo-
pie have deserted and the final sink
ing with those who remained on
board VIII take place May 28.
The time has passed when the
men with money are the real power
in carrying an election. In those
days the Ross organization could do
about as it pleased. Things are diff
ferent today. Money no longer
counts, The people are voting indie
pendently. The workers who have
gone out among the voters at cleo
ton realize the condition and are
standing with the people. The Ross
organization still has hopes to win
by the old method, but as they have
no followers to get out and do the
work for them they are not going
to accomplish a great deal. 1t is the
actual work that counts and those
who have been doing this actual
work are on the progressive side and
are backing Wilson. This Will be
made very plain when the vote is
taken.

GAINING.

1t is decidedly encouraging to the
Npeople who are anxious to see true
democratic government restored, to
note the progress that Theodore
Roosevelt is making throughout the
country in his canvass prior TO the
primaries in the various states.
Woodrow Wilson, on the Demo
cratic side, is also making a great
run, although he is handicapped by
not being so well known to the peo-
le as is Roosevelt.
, In Middlesex county the pros
r ects for q real victory for the
: people are bright, On the Republi-
can side We find most of the true
leaders of the people working for
Roosevelt. To be sure President
Taft still has the state organization
back of him and those who remain
loyal to Senator Briggs will do
what they can TO send Taft delegates
to the convention. 1t is interesting
to note the men who are lining up
TO help the Taft cause. The new
election laws make 1t practically i'm
possible for the large corporations
to contribute money for campaign
pen and in that way pay for
the protection they secure through
the protective tariff, so the heads Of
the corporations are offering them
selves instead of their money. They
are willing to make the personal
sacrifice necessary to stand as dele
gates to the national convention IN
an effort to renominate Taft so that
should he be elected the present fla
vorable tariff q remain in force,
The Roosevelt followers are grow
ing in enthusiasm every day, AS
victory after victory rolls in for the
former president throughout the
country his workers in. New Jersey
become more encouraged and the
people f1oek over to his standard.
There Is more and more reason TO
believe that Roosevelt delegates can
easily carry the third district In New
Jersey in the primaries in May.
