HOME STORAGE OF BUTTER.

Butter to be packed for home stor-
age should be closely pressed down
in stone jar or crock or in a clean,
freshly scalded wooden pail or firkin.
If wood is used line the receptacle
with a piece of wet cheesecloth. Pack
the butter down so that one-half inch
or more of space is left at the top.
Cover with a wet cloth and pack
salt over it closely. Put on some air
tight covering like paraffin and put
it away in a cool place. Good butter
we'll packed and kept in a sweet place
will improve in quality for six months
OF course, cold storage is an ideal

Predicting that Wilmington mer-
chants were assured OF the biggest year
in The history Of the city, and quoting
figures showing that 5000 persons were
being hauled daily between here and
Pennsgr0ve. which meant greatly in
creased trade for the Wilmington mer-
chants. Joseph ). Wilson, of the VIII
mington and New Jersey Ferry Com
pany, enthnsed the members of the mer-
camille section of the Chamber of Com
morce at its meeting in Eden Hall last
night by talk setting forth the un-
limited possibilities OF the trade which
can be secured from the section Of New
Jersey directly across the river, includ-
ing pennsTove. Salem and other towns
there.
Mr.. Wilson said that at the present
time his company handled daily through
its wharves an average of 5000 passen-
gers. which mcant-3.oO0 persons trav-
cling each way daily lie stated that
the people went from Wilmington to
Pennserove TO earn money and returned
from That town to spend IL in this city.
lie said an extremely conservative es-
innate would be that passengers other
than powder plant employees who come
from pennsgrove TO Wilmington spent
at least 81 each on cach visit with the
merchants of Wilmington, and that the
powder company employees spent four
ffths at least OF their earnings In this
citv. This. he said. would mean that
Wilmington merchants do n daily busi-
ness amounting TO at least $1,000 or
500 600 a month. or 81 OS0,0O0 year
with the powder workers, basing the cN-
pendtures of the workers az a similar
figure with the transient visitors, which,
he claimed. was much more conservative
than actual conditions warranted. In
this statement he was later confirmed
by the merchants present

these things for themselves.
My thought in connection with the
plan is that the people Of the city
will go TO the various stores, make
their purchases, and receive in re-
turn a bill of sale for the goods pur-
chased, which they then return 10 the
committee at its headquarters In the
Crosby & Hin building. The mer-
chant sends us the goods direct, and
w check Il up from the bill Of sale
sent in BY the contributor. In this
way both public and merchants are
contributing 10 the good work. II may
sound somewhat strange, but II Is a
fact that there are other countries
which are giving more. per capita,
than the American people, withal the
goods for the sufferers must be pur-
chased in America. for the reason
that other neutral countries cannot
furnish the supplies required.
There is an impression in the
minds of many people in this country
that Belgian relief has gone far
enough. and should stop, but from di-
rect communication with this country
the condition really grows worse in
stead Of being alleviated. And not
only this. but even should the waI
end, IL would be a long time before
the great mass of the people who
have absolutely nothing and no means

be seli-supporting.
