Irenee dupont, president of E. l.

When he was informed that his pur-
chase caused much speculation as to
what he intended doing with the land,
Mr.. dupont laughed and said. eyes, l
have bought number of lots at Re
hoboth. Some time ago while | was
visiting Judge David 7. Marvel at the
Beach it struck me that place was an
ideal one to obtain rest and recreation.
AS the lots in question were extremely
cheap-only $50 each, l bought about
three acres. In fact, / do not yet
know the exactssize of the plot. Some
day l may build a bungalow on the
land so my friends and myself may be
able to run down for short shooting
trips. The lots are located well back
from the ocean front, in the pine tree
and swamp district, and are ideal for
the purpose / have mentioned. That
is all there is to the transaction" con-
tinued Mr.. dupont, again laughing
'The whole amount involved is insig-

The Gentle Art Of Toastnlaking
Refuses To Be Speeded Up

gentlemen, give you toast"
So it is not that kind at all, but
plain, ordinary, everyday dry OF
buttered toast; but, alas, how un-
ordinary! How many among us can
boast Cor even whisper} of mem
Der of the family capable Of making
a perfect slice Of toast, OF slice
of perfect toast (if you are q
purist)7 Is it not nine times out
of ten burned and ten times out Of
ten scraped? Is it not either raw
in the center and burned at the
edges or else a thin pale yellow
slab rs hard as q rock which breaks
into forty pieces at the first attempt
to part it? If the readers ex-
perience is different from this he is
one Of fortunes favored few.
The writer recalls a trip South
with a relative who had to have
toast, and the diplomacy it took to
New-York tribune., 1921-12-04

procure two or three slices Of the
most mediocre variety. Hot breads
galore, OF course; delicious mullins,
wafiies, biscuit, rusks, were all
taboo and the mattresses tipped
to make such toast! Had they been
asked to staff and roast turkey
three times a day it would not have
required more ceremony or persua-
sion.
The Anxious Eye Is Necessary
But TO return, the first and "mas-
| ter recipe" which seems now to be
the latest phrase, for making toast
is--watch it and keep watching it.
IL you SO much as glance out of
the corner of your eye in another di-
rection, that which was but mo-
nent before virgin slice of bread
| is at once d smoking cinder as black
rs coal; as for crossing the floor to
the table and back--as we'll throw
the slice out the window and be done
with it.
There are them as likes their
toast thick (not too thickl and soft,
while others like it thin and hard.
For the former this is the method
The first requirement is good bread
for "all the kings horses" cannot
make good toast from poor bread.
Then slice 1t (preferably yestcr-
days bread, five e-eighths Of an
inch thick; for an invalid or the
fastidious trim off the crusts. Place
next to the flame, coal, gas or
electric, it matters not which, but
it must be clear, hot heat for the
best results; turn it once so that
each side is slightly dried before
toasting begins; watch it, and when
one side has become golden brown
turn over the other side and watch
that until it Is Of the same perfect
shade; spread with butter literally
at once and serve quickly.
For dry, hard toast, such as so
many Of us poor *'reductioners'
are obliged 10 eat, let the slice be
thinner, garter of an inch or less
in thickness is enough, and keep
turning it constantly from side tc
side until the slice is thoroughly
dried through before the browning
begins.
Toast With Various Trimmings
For milk toast the milk should
be heated to the boiling point, al
New-York tribune., 1921-12-04
Hitting the High Spots of Edible Joy With the In

though not allowed to boil, and a
pinch of salt and a generous lump
OF butter added to it; this should be
poured over the hot toast at the
moment of serving so that the lat
ter will not become soggy. The
toast may be cut in small squares
for a child, or if it is very hard,
moisten it slightly in hot water.
For French toast beat three eggs
slightly with one cup of milk, one
half tcaspoonful of salt and two
tablespoonful of sugar. Dip the
sliced bread in this mixture and
fry in small amount Of fat;
brown one side first and then turn
and brown the other side. Serve with
honey, syrup (maple if you can get
IT'D, jelly or powdered sugar. This
mixture is enough for six slices.
But, try the plain, buttercd toast
for breakfast tomorrow and see if
your stock does not go up with your
family.
For cinnamon toast slice the bread
about one-half inch thick, remove
the crusts and cut again diagonal
ly. Toast on one side to beauti-
full brown, remove from the fire,
sprinkle over the unteasted side
cinnamon and sugar in the pvopor-
ton of one to six, dot with butter

Postum with the evening meal will rob the

Postum is a friendly drink, always And

FT<HE POET, Riley, has told the story
IL beautifully and well-how the old
fashioned father sent the boy OUT into the
world. A heart full of affection and hope
spoke only these words: ''Well, goodbye, Jim;
take keer Of yourself.
Enough to say, enough to hope for, enough
to do-take care Of yourself and there's the
foundation of safety, the promise of success.
And how easy thing to fail in! For
instance, the common practice of coffee or
tea-drinking administers to the system a
dosing of drug whose harm has been pointed
out repeatedly by medical men, sometimes in
alarming terms-and whose effect is very
commonly found in over-excited nerves, sleep
lessness, irritability, indigestion, high blood
pressure-loss of efficiency; failure to 'sget on
The drug, caffeine in coffee and them in
tea, acts as whip upon the nerves. Over
whipped nerves may run away, or break down,
like an over whipped horse.
Thousands of people have found FOR them
selves that they cannot safely drink coffee or
tea. Some have had the news broken to them
by their physicians, and many are complain
ing about SYMPTOMS Of nervousness, sleepless-
ness and lack OF alertness during business
hours, and wondering what the cause may be
when the cause probably is tea or coffee.
A great many people who know they cannot
safely drink coffee at night still hope they
can go on with it at other times, and dodge
the damage.
How easy it is to fail to take care-and
how hard the consequences usually are!
