Convenience Especially Suitable Where
Space Is Limited-PIace Provided
for Fireless Cooker When
Not in Use.

A kitchen cabinet is just as impor-
tant to the housekeeper as the bench
to the workman or the laboratory desk
to the chemist. With it the house
keeper can sit down comfortably with
her whole kitchen workshop easily
within her reach. It saves walking to
and fro to gather this thing and that
to prepare the food. And every kitch-
en- should have a stool of the right
height TO enable the worker to sit at
her work at the cabinet. The home
made cabinet shown In the illustration
Is sanitary, convenient, and attractive
1t is especially suitable and compact
for kitchens in which cabinet space is
limited.
A~home-made cabinet can be built
with moderate expense if outside labor
need not be employed. If both lum-
Der and labor must be purchased, the
cost will equal that of ready-made
cabinet. The cabinet ndst be made
of good wood, well seasoned. That Is
the most important consideration.
Poorly seasoned wood warps and
swels and is a constant annoyance in

MUST CLOSE DURING WAR.

Al a special meeting of the Milford
Emergency Hospital trustees held last
week. the finances and operating ac-
count. as submitted by DR.. Samuel
Marshall. the physician in charge
were gone over and the conditions
ascertained as 10 the liabilities and
prospective income For the past four
months the receipts have fallen below
the cost Of operating 20 the extent OF
Sl34OO per month. The many calls
upon the public for war charities and
Liberty Loans has had the effect 20
almost stop the support which has
heretofore been given by the public.
With this situation facing the trus-
tees. and the probable urgent calls
which will be made again for war
help upon the people. il was decided
by a unanimous vote OF the trustees
10 close the hospital until after the
war ends, and then start up In the
new building, which will be by that
time remOdeled, and made ready for
a modern hospital.
II was necessary to take this course
because Of the iminent probability OF
DR.. Marshall going into the United
States service and the nurses enter
ing the Red Cross hospital work. The
doctor was authorized to keep the
hospital open until June 30th, If he
desired to do so.
The decision to close the Milford
Emergency Hospital will be a great
disappointment to many people for
miles around Milford. but it was the
only way the trustees could see 70
follow; unless the public at once
make contributions in such size as
will assure the expense Of operating
the hospital and that can only be
done by immediate action. The hos
pital in Milford has been a great bless
ing to hundreds Of people. who with
out it could not have had proper med
ical attention.

MILFORD WILL ENFORCE
The AUTOMOBILE LAWS
Council VIII Instruct Officers TO En-
force the State Regulations Very
Strictly-LaWs are Plain.

The majority of the members OF
Milford Town Council are in favor OF
enforcing the automobile laws Of the
state TO the letter This means
that where the houses are less than
100 feet apart a speed Of not more
than fifteen miles an hour will be al
lowed II furthermore means tnat
drivers of automobiles in Milford
must cross every street intersection
at a speed of not more than seven and
half miles an hour Still further
il means that every automobile on
the streets of Milford after dark must
have two white lights on the 'front.'
and one red light on the rear OF the
car; these must be lighted Whelhei
standing OF running
Compelling automobile drivers 10
maintain a speed OF 10 miles an hour
or less is reasonable and should De
enforced. When drivers OF cars are
compelled to cross street intersec-
tions at seven and a half miles an
hour. an inconvenience TO the traV-
cling public is caused Many cars
can not slow down to that speed on
high gear. and the drivers will have
TO change their gears when going
across the corners. II will be hard
ship to compel owners Of cars to have
their lights burning while they are
parked in the business section OF the
town-but the law says that shall be
done.
For the information Of the public
this statement is made in order that
automObilists will not run up against
trouble without warning. While the
majority Of council are not in favor
Of a strict enforcement Of the light
portion Of the law. other members OF
council have announced that II the
seven and a half mile provision Tor
street intersection driving is enforced
they personally will see that the en-
tire automobile laws are enforced.
All laws are made TO be reasonably
handled. and where an inclination TO
''heW to the line" on only one portion
of the statutes is shown, only partial
results are obtained. 1t is for this
reason that those in favor Of reason
ableness in the handling of the trafhc
problems of the town will see tnat
the entire statute is enforced, thus
eliminating any claim for unfairness
from any source.
A strict enforcement of the provi-
sions of the law will assuredly mean
that many automObilists will be driY-
en- from Milford to other towns to do
their shopping; but among the mem
hers Of Milford Town Council there
are merchants in business on Walnut
street who are interested in seeing
trade kept in the town. When the
hitching ordinance was passed by the
council two years ago. some OF the
merchants raised the cry that bus
mess would be driven to other towns.
Now it is thought the council is TAX
ing steps to drive business away
and there are Walnut street mer-
chants in Council Have these men
properly thought the matter over.

RECEIVES SUBSTANTIAL CHECKS

The Milford Fire Company wishes
to announce that it has been present
ed with two substantial checks. one
for 500 and the other for SIS, in
token Of appreciation of services rem
dered. The first check was sent to
the company by the L. d. Caulk Co.
for the aid which the fire company
gave at the time Of the extreme high
tide, when the fire company pumped
the water out Of the cellar of the l..
d. Caulk Co. Laboratories. The
second check was sent to the com
pany by Dr.. F. L. Grier in token Of
appreciation for tue aid rendered at
a recent fire on DR.. Grier's premises.
The Fire Company feels very CRATE
full for these two checks. especially
at this time. as it has just purchased
five hundred feet of double jacket
hose which cost S215 per linear foot
Due to the fact that the company was
unable to hold a carnival last year,
and will hold none this year. on ac-
count Of the war. the funds in the
treasury of the company are INSULT
cient to meet this bill for hose Thus
such remembrances from generous
friends are indeed very welcome.

SUBMARINES CAUSE
SHORTAGE IN SUGAR
Several Million Pounds Sunk on the
Atlantic Coast Last Week-TO
Limit Amount Purchased.

The raid of the German U-boats on
American shipping made itself felt
very pertinently on Wednesday when
kilograms were sent from Washington
ID. c.. TO all Food Administrators, di-
recting that the amount Of sugar sold
BY dealers to housewives for house
hold use. should be reduced. The
Steamship Carolina and other steam
ers carrying several million pounds
of sugar were sunk of the Atlantic
coast last week by submarines and
this loss added to the present demand
for sugar Gamers and housewives for
preserving purposes led TO this order
BY the Food Administration.
Up to this time and since the reliet
of the shortage existing last winter,
dealers have been permitted to sell
five pounds to city housewives for
household use, and ten pounds for
farmers wives. This amount has now
been cut to two pounds for city
housewives and five pounds for farm
ers' wives. Housewives, however, de-
string sugar for canning purposes
may obtain what they need provided
they sign a certificate and agree to
return all unused sugar obtained for
preserving and which was not used
for that object.
The regulation goes into effect i'm
mediately.
The Delaware Food Administration
has issued certificates for the follow
ing allotments Of sugar TO be deliver
ed to July 1:
Non-essential dealers or manufact-
urara fOA 1Q0 nounda. essential deal
ers. other than Gamers. 2O5,S5O lbs;
new business, 1900; Gamers 3,021.-
342; a total Of 1899 $50 pounds.
The Food Administrator urged deal
ers to file with him certificates and
data showing the amount Of sugar
they had on hand and what would be
needed before July l. Despite this
request some have failed to do this
and as a result may find themselves
without sugar before July /.

Farm BUREAU NOTES.

The canning season is here. Now
is the time we must be prepared for
the coming winter season when we
will not be able to go to the orchard
and garden for fresh fruits and veg
etables. II pays 90 be prepared q.
ANY vegetables or fruits which can
not be kept for winter in the fresh
state may be canned or dried
Canning by the Cold Pack" is the
most satisfactory method for canning
vegetables. Bulletins giving com
plete directions for canning fruits,
vegetables or meats may be obtained
free from the Department Of Agri-
culture, Washington, d. c.. or from
the Home Demonstration Agent, at
the Court House. Georgetown.
II is important that directions be
followed exactly and that none OF
the necessary precautions be omitted
such as: having jars. tops and rub
bers perfectly clean and sterilized !;
perfectly fitting covers and new, best
quality rubbers; blanch and cold dip
all vegetables before packing into the
jars: sterilize the proper length Of
time; seal air tight at once.
Another very necessary precaution
is to avoid preparing a number OF
jars at once and waiting until the last
jar is filled before starting the first
one to cooking. The first one may
develop the fiat sour before they are
cooked. II this happens your can
ned vegetables may seem to be keep
ing satisfactorily. but when you open
them you will find them sour and un-
fit for use.
