CURE HANS AT HOME.
MORE ECONOMICAL, AND THE
MEAT is BETTER.
Expert Tells Of the Methods Of Prepa-
ration for Best ResuIts-"Sugar-
Cure" Moro Expensive, But
Better Than Salt Process.
CBy MRS. w. c. HuTcHINsoN)

(By MRS. W. c. HUTCHINSON.)
There Is no other product of the
farm to which the owner points with
greater pride than to his abundance
OF well cured hams, one Of the daily
essentials for the table, and If the
ham is well cured and well cooked,
we certainly have one Of the most
appetizing dishes which can be set
before US.
This edible need not be limited to
the farmer alone; those Of the city
may enjoy, equally with him, by pur-
chasing the slaughtered hogs, or hams
of the butchers, then, using a good
method Of sugar curing.
1t is economy to those In the city,
and profit to the farmer should he
place his home-cured hams on the
market; there is always a ready sale,
and they bring a much better price
than the packers meat or the ordi-
nary salt ham.
Should we decide to market our own
homemade" "sugar-cured" hams,
there would be very great demand
for them. Each year we are compelled
to refuse a number of would-be pur
chasers. .... ..-... ....
To all interested in the sugar-cured
method Of preparing it, we give the
following recipe:
For 1000 pounds of meat, take
40 pounds of common salt, ten pounds
Of Orleans sugar. four pounds black
pepper, three pounds saltpeter, half
pound cayenne pepper. Mix thorough
ly, then rub one-half Of the mixture
on the meat, let 1t lie two weeks, and
then rub on the remainder, after which
let 1t lie four weeks, then hang and
smoke.
AS soon as the animal heat is out of
the meat, apply first half, carefully
covering skin and flesh side alike, and
well over hook bone.
The extra expense over salted meat
Is small and think about equal to 9TH
er methods of curing; the amount of la.
Dor required for first application is
very little more than ordinary sailing,
and for second. requires one man
about one hour. II you wish to cure
smaller quantities. time and labor will
be in proportion.
Do not think the quantity of the
preparation too small when mixed, for
although 1t may look 80, yet 1t is an
abundance.
AS this Is put on the meat, each
ham is placed separately upon plat.
form, there to await the second appli.
cation. when 1t is again placed for the
four weeks, after which we hang and
smoke for four days from wood fire,
not being partial to hickory wood.
BY this time the meat is firm and
dry, and 1t is wrapped In newspapers,
then placed in sacks made of denim,
or other strong material and hung In
a cool dark place.
We have used this recipe for Is
years, have never had a ham spoil
and have never tasted better hams.

Take about two pounds Of rump
steak. brown we'll in frying pan with
a little butter. then put in casserole

three hours. Then put In enough wa
ter to make n sufficient gravy. one
pint OF carrots cut In cubes. About
half an hour before serving put In a
small bottle OF stuffed olives cut in
halves. Serve in the casserole. The
meat will not need much salt, on nc
count OF the olives being salty.

Ing, So the Account Was
Balanced.


Silently the steamer slipped over
the starlit waters, Momotombo's
plume Of steam 5000 feet above
us. The pier we were to take was hid
den in the blackness ahead. Every
light aboard was doused, for we had
no wish to make a show Of ourselves.
Then somebody opened the fire
doors under the boilers. A plume of
sparks flew from the smokestack and
lit the boat brightly and hundred
men on deck swore. not too softly.
Answer came In a flash from the
black shore ahead Of US. Bang! came
the bark of field gun. A rosy spark
boring its way through the night pass
ed over our heads and on into the
night and lake.
Turn around, captain! Turn quick,
and go back"
So our brave Colombiano general
In command; patriot for Nicaragua
and 300 pesos month.
Pray, don't imagine that he was
scared. He wouldn't endanger his men
out there on the water; the enemy
on firm land and beyond reach OF
machetes. No. He boldly stood grasp.
Ing the rail, and II his arm fairly
shook me as We were crowded against
each other 1t was no doubt because
he trembled with bold ardor.
At least couldn't see that he chang.
ed color. But then, never saw an
ace Of clubs change color. Still,
there's difference in blacks. The
generals shade was the SINNER OF the
two In the light from our plumes of
sparks.
Go back, captain. to thousand
meters!" the general ordered again,
but with no very great authority of
tone.
You go to thunder!" Captain Tooth
blurted with what seemed to me an
approach to bluntness. isn't there
man aboard who'll take a crack at
them chaps ashore?"
The commanding general walked
aft. A gringo civilian said:

try a shot,"
He dropped to the main deck, sight.

Half q dozen other shells went

Then that intrusive gringo hunted
up the commanding general and ask.

But he ordered the expedition to re-
turn to Managua. He wouldn't risk

might run into ambush under fire Of

Women Who Trusted
Man Companion Land
in Local Jail With Him

Two women told Judge Hahn tale
in the First Criminal Court today of
how they had been lured from their
former occupation of shoplifting by
the smooth promises of man, who
said that he had police-proof scheme
for living easy" They trusted him
and came to Newark, only to find
themselves caught at the first try.
The women are Aline Blass, thirty,
and Jessie Fill, thirty-tw Both
were held by Judge Hahn in the sum
of $1,000 each to await the action of
the grand jury on a charge of at
tempting to obtain goods by false
pretenses. James Hoagland, forty
seven, who said he had no home, was
also held in the same sum on the
same charge.
According to the women all three
served sentences on Blackwells ISL
and the women for shoplifting and
the man for larceny. They got ac-
quainted there. The women told that
after their release they came to New
ark and took up a residence at 1874
Prospect street.
On Wednesday Hoagland went to
the jewelry store of Jean R. Tack. S57
Broad street, and conflded to the pro-
prietor that he was to be married In
a few days. He picked out jewelry
and cut glass worth 1921, rendered
four checks in payment and ordered
the goods sent to the Prospect street
address.

ASK FAIR PLAY
FOR GERMANY
Request Made in Statement to
the clergymen of This
City.

The Fair Play League has issued q
statement to the clergy of Newark
and vicinity in the interests of Ger
many in which is set forth a detailed
argument in support of that coun-
try's attitude in the war. The COM
munication is signed by Otto A. Site
fel, DR. Richard Dieffenbach. Carl
Hartdegen, Rev. Frederick W. Hook,
DR.. Edward ]. Ill, William Won Katz-
Ter, DIR. Franz Lehmacher, Albert
Leisel, Peter Nicklas, August Noll,
Rev. Bernard Pick, Dr.. w. j. Il.
Roeher, Dr. Theodore Teimer and
Louis A. zeigler.
The statement says in part:
I'VE. the undersigned, yoicing the
opinion and sentiment of many thou
sands OF our community, desire to
direct our earnest attention to mat
tiers most important to all of us. But
we are not disquieted by the harm
full effects of the war on our own
country Of which effects, certainly
a most deplorable one is the attitude
of the greater part OF the American
press toward Germany, an attitude
Of lamentable incomprehension, an
attitude at complete variance with
the spiritual neutrality solemnly en-
joined by our President. By its en-
differing influence upon public opin-
ion and sentiment it has added to
the great general stress of the war,
by which we are all affected, an
other evil, which, with some good
will, greater conscientiousness and a
stronger feeling of responsibility,
could and should have been avoided.
The passionate outbreaks against
Germany on the part of the press
must certainly tend to weaken the
cement of good will which binds the
heterogeneous American elements
into one great nation.
Our object is to express how
much we regret such a state Of af-
fairs and how eager we are to offer
our good offices to bring about a
better understanding, and how nee
essary and beneficial 1T would be to
unite all good influences of our COM
munity to that end"

HEARS HIS THIRD
DEATH SENTENCE
Judge Martin Again DEGREES
That Murderer Must Pay Pen
atty for Killing Wife.

For the third time death war;
rant has been signed for the execu-
ton of Angelo Cerceriello, who was
convicted last winter of numbering
his wife, Alvira. and the week of
November s has been set for the
electrocution. Cerceriello's appeal to
the court of pardons was rejected
last week, after he had been granted
q reprieve by Governor Fielder.
Judge Martin, before whom Cercer-
iello was tried and found guilty in
November, 1913, signed all three war
rants for his death, the first setting
the week of February l for the sem
tence to be carried out. BY suing
out writ of error he stayed the
sentence until againhe was sentenced
to die the week Of August 80. This
time the Governors reprieye saved
him for a time, but when the
courts denied his application for
a retrial a new warrant was made
out and Judge Martin signed it to-
day,
Cercerielio was accused of taking
his wife to lot in Silver Lake Sec.
ton of the city on May 20, 1913. and
there numbering her with a hatchet.
The prosecution used as its princi-
pal witness Alfonso Laudisi another
convicted murderer who related
confession OF Cerceriello's to him in
the Jail Cerceriello, he said, told him
the circumstances OF the crime, and
gave such details as could be cor
roborated by the detectives.

place But they lost many of their
aeroplanes and are having trouble
constructing new ones. Without
doubt the aeroplane is the greatest
single factor in this war.
General French, no matter how
hard he had to fight during the day,
always tried to Spend a little time
in the field hospitals at night with
the wounded He would stroll in
sometimes accompanied by an aide or
an orderly, but many times alone. lie
would ask the wounded how they
were getting on, and in the case of
chaps shot through the leg would slap
them on the back and say: Fine
business, old boy. You will get him
next time. How soon will you be out
and back with us?
And sometimes the general would
stay too long, and realize that he
could not get back to headquarters
that night Then he would wrap a
blanket around him and curl UP on a
vacant cot or on the floor alongside
a wounded Tommy and go to sleep.
