THE LURE OF THE TEATABLE
No Form Of Entertaining 10 So popv
lar Among Women a. the A.
ernoon Tea.

There IL no form OF entertaining so
universally popular ~ tho informal
afternoon tea. when two or three
friends gather over a cup OF the bev-
erage that cheers and chat gaily Of
the little intimate things Of the hour.
The teatable, therefore, is always q
source OF interest to women. and Ques-
lions Of the making Of tea and its &C
cessories Of paramount interest
Women who pride themselves on
their tea making assert that tea, to be
good. should be made in an earthen
pot, never in metal one
Tea is never good when long stand
ing but in some cases 1t cannot be
helped. 1t should be poured on the
leaves into another heated pot and
covered with cosy"
II cream is taken. less expensive
grade Of tea may be used than when
lemon is preferred.
An old fashioned idea Is to drop
a few shavings OF dried orange peel
into the pot in which the tea is made.
Some like this, while others believe
that 1t spois the flavor of the bev-
erage.
Bits OF cinnamon and two or three
cloves dropped In are other ways OF
varying the cup that cheers.
The jam pot should not be far
from the tea table.
The best part OF hot English muir
a, IL the generous amount OF melted
butter that accompanies 1t. Hence Do
not sparing in butter.

countered. At times 1t is alleged that
he may be seen in Statuary hall. for

tives and the scene OF his death. &C.
companied by the whole congress OF
1910, gathered in ghostly conclave. He
Is also credited with roaming about
all parts of the capitol and may be
seen at almost any time
There is also the story OF Gen. Lo-
gan, who returns. 1t Is said. to OBJ
serve the doings of the committee on
military affairs of which he was so
long the chairman. Those. who claim
to have encountered the general. say
that he always wears a black SLOUGH
hat and remains either in the commit
tee room or in the corridor adjoining.
Vice-President Wilson, who died In
his room in the senate wing, is also
recorded as constant wanderer about
the scene OF his death.
The demon cat legend has been re-
peated for the last so years as the
animal apparition which returns at ir-
regular periods. The story does not
vary much, being merely that Of an
ordinary Tabby at first sight. but
which grows to a gigantic horror be-
fore the eyes Of the frightened observ-
er. Suddenly this demon cat emits a
fierce yowl and with eyes ablaze and
mouth open leaps toward the specta-
tor, but invariably leaps quite over
his head

INNOCENT CAUSE
OF TYPHOID GONE
"carrier" of Disease Microbes
Dismissed from Dairy Which
He Managed.

MOUNT HOLLY, Aug. 13.-The
which has Frustrated many wealthy
and aristocratic citizens of Moores-
town was a subject to which serious
consideration was given last night at
mass-meeting when it was stated
that there are over thirty-six patients
in serious consolation. with other
cases of the disease developing.
DIR F. G. Proud. inspector of the
local board of health. reported that
the epidemic was now under control
but that other cases may be looked
for from those who have taken the
germs into their system.
The feature of the meeting was an
ultimatum to the Moorestown Wa
ter Company 1t was reported that
the seat of trouble was traced to FL
lis Kensler manager of the dairy
farm owned by David Roberts. The
meeting was held under the auspices
of the Moorestown Improvement AS
sociation. This body will demand the
sinking of artesian wells as the only
alternative, as an analysis of the
toNn supply VI pAAh6ih6 "oeSi
which comes from the Pensauken
Creek shows that ii is polluted with
typhoid fever germs.
David Roberts said last night: 81
shall keep my dairy closed for short
time The source of this trouble has
been removed by the discharge of
Ellis Kensler, the typhoid carrier,
who unconsciously caused all the
trouble. He has left the county and
will seek employment elsewhere, but
not where he will be obliged to han
die milk, water or vegetables

after a sharp fight, in which the possi

Senator La Toilette today refused
to go further with his charge that his
mail had been rlfed by postoffice Off
cials, who wanted to know about an
Investigation into service conditions
the senator was conducting. Officials
of the department characterized ,he
charge as absurd. Mr.. La Follette's
Investigation related to the right of
postal employees to organize.
F When the provision came up today
Senator Smith, of South Carolina.

had a right to strike. Senator Root
and Senator Sutherland attacked that
contention sharply.

clared Senator Root. The next thing

assistance. and information to that
effect was sent to boats that started
to iler aid.
Captain Cook said nobody was in
