Hot Cross Biscuits

Hot cross biscuits taste good at any
season of the year. Their ingredients
consist of: One quart flour, one table,
spoonful salt, four tablespoonfuls
baking powder, half cupful of butter,
half teaspoonful each of ground Gin
namon and nutmeg, one tablespoonful
finely chopped citron or candied
orange peel, half a cupful of currants,
one egg, and sweet milk to make a
firm dough. Some brands of flour alb
sorb more moisture than others, so
the amount of milk or water used for
biscuits is not absolute. Roll an inch
thick, cut in large rounds, cut two
gashes at right angles across the top
of each, and moisten the tops with
milk before baking. Some cooks like
to fill the cross cuts with sugar.

When a Man Marries

His bachelor friends are about
equally divided in thinking that he is
a nut or a mighty fortunate gink.
His wife's relatives plan to visit
them during the county fair or the au-

His own relatives plan to give his
wife good talking to if she proves
to be extravaganza.
His neighbors hope that he will
prove to be a good hand at bridge and
that his wife will throw as many teas
as the rest of them.
His boss wonders how he can do it
on the salary he is getting, but does
not increase it.
His wife wonders why it is that a
little house takes so much time to
look after.
While a man himself is so excited
all the time that he nearly loses his
job-and doesn't realize it.-Indian-

Today's Poem
THREE SONGS

Sing m :, thou Singer, a song Of gold!
Said a careworn man to me:
So / san. of the golden summer DAVIS
And the sad, sweet autumn's yellow
haZ G,
Till his he art grew soft and his mel
lowe gaze
Was a kindly sight to see.
Sing me, dear Singer, a song of Lowell
A fair maid asked Of me:
Then | sang Of love that clasps the
Race,
Gives all, asks naught-till her kind
led face
Was radiant with the starry grace
OF blessed Charity.
Sing me, o Singer, a song of life
Cried an eager youth to me:
And sang of the life without alloy.
Beyond our years, till the heart of
the boy
Caught the golden beauty and love
and JOY
OF the great Eternity.

Making Onions Palatable

Many people have trouble in eating
raw onions, because they leave an un-

digest easily. This may be entirely
overcome if they are sliced in thin
slices crosswise, boiling water pour

cold water, and then add pepper, salt
and vinegar. This does not spoil the
onions crispness or flavor.

ATLANTIC CITY EXPERIENCES
4O-MILE GALE ON BOARDWALK
Shore Guests Never Will Forget Rage
of Stout Northeaster.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 4.-Thousands
OF visitors from inland cities who had
never experienced the violence of full-
grown northeaster on the Atlantic shore
probably never will forget last night,
when the violent wind kept the big shore
city in turmoil.
Between midnight and morning the
gale, which grew in violence as night
progressed. attained a velocity of 80
miles an hour, according to official wind
Euages, which spells from 40 TO 80 miles
an hour on the Boardwalk.
A deluge of rain fell for hours, while
the terrific wind gusts shook the smaller
hotels, played havoc with wires, smashed
trees and did other damage throughout
the city.
From hotel windows tho big waves
iolling seaward appeared to be literally
breaking over the boardwalk, and this
was no Illusion at points along the beach
where failure Of city officials to carry out
promised jetty plans for defense have
laid the famous promenade open to at
tack.
Parties on their way to hotels from the
cafes after 2 O'Clock this morning had
terrifying experiences, for the terrific
wind gusts whipped rolling chairs out of
the grip of attendants and sent them
careening drunkenly along the planks.
Some were hurled against the board
walk ratings with a smashing Of glass
windows, while others were overturned

Before noon the sun made it's appear

The tide was particularly high on the
Ventnor beach where the waves broke
over the bulkheadS Here the tide washed
up the avenue ends and in places flooded
lawns. On the meadow side Of the city
the marshes were transformed into

thus far with its accustomed good for

80 miles an hour and will hold that pace
throughout the day, in the opinion of
Weather Observer Judklns. Thousands
who had never seen the ocean looking
like anything but a big placid lake were
out early on the Boardwalk, reveling In
the splendid spectacle spread before their

washed away. Thousands Of young
chickens were drowned and in some
places small bridges were carried away
In Harrisburg hundreds OF telephone and
electric light wires were blown down,
and John Plank, a huckster, driving to
market, was perhaps fatally shocked
when a live wire struck him on the head
He was found unconscious in his wagon

were uprooted Overlooking sewers filed
so many cellars that the fire department
has been asked to assist in pumping them
out In low sections and Councilmen
already have taken measures looking to-
ward permanent relief in these quarters
No very serious property damage was
done in the city aside from that suffered
by the electrical companies.
