" o tighten the summer cooking and
yet furnish appetizing, palatable
u meals is the aim Of every home
maker during the summer.
Roasts. fried fish and kindred heavy
dishes should be avoided, and simpler
edibles that require short cooking or that
can be prepared in the early morning
selected instead.
In this connection the different varie-
ties of canned fish, poultry and meat
are recommended, for as they have al
ready been cooked they merely require
relocating, or, if combined with raw meat,
as in the headcheese, half the meat
is prepared and only the veal has to be
cooked.
In all instances where canned goods
are used (save those put up in OLD the
contents of the can should be quickly
rinsed in cold water; Immediately
drained and exposed to a current Of air
for at least half an hour. Also remem-
ber that as the canned commodities
have been cooked, long after-cooklng
will cause them to fall apart and be-
come tasteless.
Crilled sardines on savory toast VIII
be found a delightful summer luncheon
dish. Chill sauce, thick catsup or sweet
pickle may be used to spread the but
tered toast. after which two grilled
sardines are laid on each slice and II
is served Immediately with slices of
lemon.
Canned lambs tongues can now be
purchased and they are very good. For
a change in serving them, scald IN a
spiced vinegar, made from cupful OF
vinegar, six whole. cloves, a slice OF
silspice, a blade of mace and tea
spoonful of celery seed. Season to taste
with salt and paprika and simmer the
vinegar for FIVE minutes before the

II you prefer, pour all of the sauce
over the piled shortcake in deep dish;
but, pray you, serve Immediately, as
your fair sauce must not become
clouded with the berry juice.

Cleanup Week Is to Be OBJ
served Next Week; Order
Will Be Enforced

Burgess McEntee last evening gave
orders for the annual clean up week
in the borough and intimated that
the order will be enforced. He issued
the following proclamation:
Whereas, the promot of health
and happiness in any community de-
pends to a great extent upon clean
liness in the individual home and its
surroundings,
And whereas. an established GUS
tom prompts us at this season to
eliminate rubbish and other un-
healthful accumulations of the win
ter months.
Therefore, I. Thomas T McEntee,
burgess. set aside the period from
April q to April &c. inclusive. to be
observed as cleanup week and call
upon all the residents of the borough
of Steelton to remove all rubbish
from premises and homes, renovate
walls, rooms and cellars, and to take
all measures at their command to
place the borough and community
in a clean and healthful condition" 4"
The borough itself is setting the
example to its residents. All public
property is being cleaned up. The
street. department assisted by the fire
department is now cleaning Booser's
run in the lower end of town.

With the church filled with mourn
ing friends anu relatives, the fu-
neral services for Charles L. Keim
were held yesterday afternoon in the
Main Street Church of God. The

the borough has ever experienced.

ough employees, the Baldwin Fire
Company, and the Moose. Services
were conducted by the Rev. ]. Fl.

Building operations were discontin-

One of the members of Chief Gard
ner's force is Earl Eichelberger. OF
York, n former Harrisburg Tri-State
baseball player. who is a sergeant Of
police under Steelton's former police
chief.
Chief Gardners home is still in
Steelton, where he is widely and pop
ularly known. He made such an
efficient record as chief of police that
borough council couldn't stand the
strain. In the borough now it is
often remarked that he was 90 in
discriminate in making arrests. NO
favorites were ever shown friends.
1t was his boast. and this it is said,
resulted in his removal after several
stormy sessions of borough council.
Gardeners friends here point with
pride. however, to the fact that the
borough has had great difficulty in
retaining the services of competent
police chief ever since counctls ac-
ton and that no better record for
prevention and detection OF crime
has ever since been made.
