some fine PICTURES
H. S. Newman Has Arranged A
Splendid Program
"WAR STRICKEN LOUVAIN"

Real authentic war scenes taken in
and near Louvain in Belgium, showing
the Belgian forces and the beginning
of the destruction of the fine old city,
at the Middletown Opera House, Fri
day evening, Oct. 18th, 1914. The best
war film that has yet reached the
United States. One full reel.
The Eclectic Campany is showing a
single reel of pictures taken by Cap
tain Cherry Kearton, heretofore known
to fame as hhnter of wild and domes-
tic animals and birds with a motion
picture camera. Captain Kearton is a
friend of ex-President Roosevelt, who
appeared on the platform of the Ly-
ceum Theater year ago last spring
when the captains African pictures
were shown and praised the work OF
| the explorer. Mr. Roosevelt said that
he had met the captain in the wilds of
Africa and knew him to be a man of
his word. 1t may be of interest to
point out that Captain Kearton uses a
small camera-it weighs but fourteen
pounds with a gyroscopic attachment
and propelled either by an ordinary
crank, or, if desired, by compressed
air.
''War Stricken Louvain' is composed
of series of scenes showing sidelights
on conditions in the stricken Belgian
city during hostilities and before its
destruction by the Germans. Some of
the pictures are said to have been taken
by Captain Kearton with his camera
concealed under his raincoat, which
conceivably well may have seen the
case. One of the most tragic of these,
one of the most dramatic in its reyela-
ton of the manner in which the inno-
cent non-combatants suffer is the view
of the peasants fleeing from the zone
of battle 1t is life as read of it in the
dispatches. The victims travel along
the road on foot and in all sorts OF farm
vehicles. They are unconscious of the
camera; they have left behind practi-
cally all of their earthly possessions, and
they plod duly over the highway seek
ing only to save their lives.
There are about twenty-five scenes
In one there can be plainly noted in the
distance smoke ar sing from burning
buildings. In the opening picture there
is view of Belgian troops at Tirlemont,
a suburb of Louyain, where their de- |
termined resistance retarded the ad- |
vance of the Germans. Other scenes
indicate the many grades of society |

SO STATED MEETING
The New Castle Presbytery Held
Interesting Session
REV. CANDEE MODERATOR

The eighty-ninth stated meeting of
the Presbytery of New Castle which
opened Monday afternoon came to a
close at the Lower Brandywine Presby-
terian church Tuesday afternoon.
The meeting opened yesterday morn
ing with devotional services led by the
Rev. L. w. Gunby, of Salisbury, Md,
and prayer by the Rev. Charles L..
Candee, the newly chosen moderator.
Considerable time was taken during the
morning in routine work and adjusting
bills and overtures of the Presbytery.
A call from the pastorate of the
EIsmere church for the Rev. ]. Edgar
Franklin was read and found in order.
A committee was appointed to ar
range the installation exercises which
ill take place on the evening of No
vember 5. The rest of the morning
was taken up in revising the rules of
the Presbytery. Revised copies have
been ordered and will be distributed
among the members. An excellent
dinner was then served in the dining
room by the women of the Lower
Brandywine church. Many pleasing
remarks were heard from the members
of the Presbytery in appreciation for
the pleasant repasts/ served to them.
In all there were four.
After recess until 2.3O o'clock in
the afternoon, the final session was
opened. A committee for the revision
of rules was appointed and includes:
The Rev. ]. R. Mulligan, St. Georges,
Del; the Rev. William Crawford,
Greenhill church, Wilmington; the Rev.
Thomas Kerr, Berlin, Md; Frank Shep-
pard, Wilmington; L. W. Gunby, Sails
bury, Nd
Several other committees were ap-
pointed to carry on the progressive
work of the Presbytery.
On account of the removal of the
Rev. B. J. Brinkema, former editor
of the Peninsula Presbyterian, to Mil
ton, Pa, new editor was appointed
He is Morgan T. Gum of Frankford
Del. The editorial committee which
will assist him consists of L. A. Bower,
Wilmington; the Rev. J. H. Huffman,
West Nottingham, Md; the Rev. Will
liam Corbett, Wilmington; L. W. Gunby,
Salisbury; J. NJ. C. Carhart, Zion, Nd
Discussion of the making of a new
map showing the location of the
churches of the Presbytery was open
ed, but it was decided to use the old one.
1t will be sent out with the copies of
the revised rules.
The Rev. Edwin J. Reink of Pitts
burg, Pa, associate secretary of the |
temperance board, delivered a very
interesting address, in which he lay
special emphasis on the taking up of |
abolition of the liquor traffic by the |
Presbytery. He said that there was
a day of dawning vision for every
and that people would soon realize that
the temperance question is greater than |
realized. Mr.. Reinke is very we'll in
formed on the question and he gave
some very interesting statistics. In
concluding, he said that it is the social
question of the hour, and that it was a
splendid opportunity to take the leader
ship in such a movemet.
The meeting then adjourned to meet |
with the Synod of Baltimore, which
meets in New Castle in the Central Pres
byterian Church on October 27. The
closing prayer was offered by the Rev.
Josiah H. Crawford, following which
supper was served by the women of the
church.

PLUM PUDDING ICE CREAM
Change From the Usual Method Of
Serving viii Be Appreciated by
All the Family.

A novel change from the usual plum
pudding is this delightful dessert.
which Is quite easily made:
Scald pint of milk, add to it four
eggs beaten with one cupful and q
half OF sugar Stir constantly over
hot water until 1t forms a rich GUS
tard; strain and set aside to cool.
Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of cocoa
In one-half cupful of boiling water and
boil for moment Chill this and add
to the cold custard with one table
spoonful of vanilla and one pint of
cream. Shred sufficient citron to
measure one-half cupfuI; steam one
half cupful of seeded raisins and
one-quarter cupful of sultanas until
plump and tender. Blanch and cut
fine two dozen almonds; mix these,
add just enough sherry to moisten,
and let stand for an hour. Pour the
mixed cream into the freezer and
freeze until like thick mush. Open.
and work in the fruit. then finish
freezing. In serving, garnish with
whipped cream.

an ounce of salt, and half. ounce of
scraped horseradish and the same Of
shalots peeled and quartered; put
these ingredients into pint of mush-

SAUSAGE AS A OELIcAcY
Method Of Preparation Has Much to
Do With Its Appreciation When
Put on the Table.

Sausage. considered by some as .
plebeian edible, ranking with Irish
stew and corn beef and cabbage, and
not possible on the ultra-refined board,
may really be made the basis of many
delicious and even dainty luncheon
dishes.
Sausage sliced and delicately fried
In Its own grease. drained and then
Drowned crisply, and served with tiny
little buckwheat cakes four inches
across, will make delightful luncheon
on cold winter day.
Sausage smothered in potato is an.
other luncheon dainty, which even the
most cultured need not disdain.
Parboil some very small link sau-
sage five minutes. Bake a number of
medium sized potatoes, and when
done cut in half and remove the
mealy pulp. mashing it well and add
ing butter and little cream or milk,
as well as some salt and pepper. Fill
the potato skins with this mixture,
leaving depression in the center of
each. Lay in the parboiled sausages
and brown well in the oven for a few
minutes.

Not a Flatterino Idea.

A noted Sunday school worker, liv'
ing in Kansas, was once asked to talA
to the children of Sunday school on
the subject Of temperance. He is very
earnest in the cause and wears bit
of blue ribbon as badge Of his prin.
ciples. Rising before the school. he
pointed to his bit Of blue ribbon and
said: Now, can any Of you children
give me reason wh2 I am not g
drunkard?" There was no reply fol
a moment; then childish little voice

sible to keep In good condition. Use
fiat box. in which two layers OF
poultry can be packed. Wrap the
head of each bird in paper, so that
any blood which may be left in the
head will not come In contact with
the body of the fowl and soil it. In
some cases the whole bird is wrapped
in wax paper.
Start layer in the bottom of The

fold the head to one side, and place
1t in the box with the head up. Con-
tinue in this way until the bottom

1t is a good plan to, establish a per
manent trade with some commission
firm, meat dealer or large hotel, to
supply them with poultry This will
insure a better price than when

A very interesting series of tests in

clusively that great advantage is to be
gained by spraying for blight. In four
wet years. when blight is usually
severe. out Of ~ comparisons Of SO
feet Of sprayed vines with the CORE

ages for the four years of these
sprayed and unsprayed potatoes give
an average increase OF about 80 per

spraying. theoretically. much more
than paid for itself.
The Bordeaux (4-4-50 formula)
spraying was done three times, the
first being about the middle of July,
the last about the first OF September.
All Of the potatoes were sprayed for
insects SO as to make the conditions
the same so far as insect injury was
concerned. The potatoes were planted
level and in ridges. The increased

AS result of these tests the follow

good four.year rotation is-G) Corn,

A thorough cultivation in the ma.
ture of combined levelridge culture, is
recommended. That is. give thorough
level cultivation up to the last two
and then begin to ridge up the rows,
moderately at first, and as much as
possible the second time.
As year after year, wet or dry, we
have produced increased yields due to

recommend spraying as a yearly fea-
ture in growing potatoes.

it is removed from a scrub. which is
