Connie Mack Will Bring Entire
Squad To Milford On Friday,
June 25th.
BENEFIT OF HOSPITAL
The Entire Proceeds Will Be
Given To Milford Emergency
Hospital.

The base ball fans of the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula have in store for
them a real treat. Cornelius McGill-
icudy, better known as Connie Mack,
has set aside one of the three open
oates of his season to play ball in
Milford, Delaware.
The receipts for this game are for
the Milford Emergency Hospital. Mr..
Mack is not only donating his own
services, but the services of the
whole Athletic base ball Organiza-
ton without a penny's cost, as they
even care for their own transpOrta-
tion.
That you may know that this is to
be real ball game, Mr.. Mack has
selected q team which he will man
age and another team which Mr..
kid" Gleason will manage. 1t is
hoped that Mr.. GleasOn's team will
play in Milford uniforms, or be
known as the Milford Club. Mr..
Mack states that he will never lay
down in a ball game to kid" Glea-
son or to anyone else. If he is beat
en-, he will be beaten through good
playing. The lineup in the following
letter insures two fast teams and a
real treat to the fans of the penin-
sula. The date is June 25. The
game will be called at p. m. Re-
served seats will be sold at $500.
General admission $1.00 and it is
going to be worth the price and, best
of all, the net receipts are for the
benefit of a very worthy institution,
the Milford Emergency Hospital.
Orders for tickets accompanied by
check will be filled as received. Get
your orders in early.

PLANNING A WEEKS FOOD.

BY way of still another slight
change in the general plan. We serve
cereal for the first three days Of the
week and none for the last three.
Samp appears on Monday. This is a
coarse form of corn, or. as It Is some
times termed, coarse hominy. The
dish is still known in some places.
where it Is considered inferior to fine
hominy. Samp is used mostly as
vegetable in place of potatoes. Some
persons like It with cream and sugar
for a breakfast cereal. The house
keeper should be very careful TO cook
this form Of corn very thoroughly, as
otherwise 1t will prove indigestible.
Nut bread is used too infreQuently.
Properly made, It is both nourishing
and digestible HousekeeperS who
are too busy to make hot breads for
breakfast very often will hnd toasted
nut bread an extremely palatable
change in the breakfast menu. II

they should not have this particular
bread, as there is danger that they
will not masticate the nuts properly.

Diabetes.

Diabetes is a condition where the
body is unable to burn the sugar
which the blood takes up from the
liver, and SO the kidneys must get
rid Of 1t to prevent the trouble which
would come from an accumulation or
sugar in the blood.
Sugar appears in the blood in great
amount before It can be detected in
the urine by ordinary tests. One au-
thOrtty remarks that the presence of
sugar in the urine, or even in the
blood. may be a temporary condition
due to an unbalanced diet and the
person may not have diabetes: but 1t
is q warning to watch the diet and
remedy the condition.
Even should diabetes be present,
proper care given the general health
and proper diet free from starches
and sugar will enable the patient to
maintain his strength and live use.
full life.
Diabetes is more serious in children
and young people than in people Of
middle age.
DR.. Banting of Toronto discovered
insulin. This is a preparation from
the secretions of the pancreas. It is
not q cure for diabetes. 1t is only a
treatment, which enables the diabetic
patient to eat carbohydrate foods. In
sulin is substance which must be
prescribed by a competent, reliable
physician, who has been properly in
structed in it's use. Insulin only sup
plies to the body an element which
is necessary for sugar metabolism. 1t
does not remove the cause of diabetes.
Doctors are still undecided what the
causes may be.
However. proper diet. even without
insulin, will enable the daibetic to live
reasonably long life. Every case is

No matter how hard bread may be-
come, it can be used for stuffing fow'
or meat. The bread may be easily
softened by pouring boiling water over
it. then adding seasoning, some thyme
or sage, a little butter, mixing all to-
gether lightly, and you have a
delicious stufflng at little cost. This
stuffing can be used with many mex
pensive pieces of meat to make the
meat go farther, such as flank-steak
roll, roundsteak birds or roundsteall
roll.
Quick and Easy.
When unexpected company comes
and you have only a small can of
soup, add potato water and a
little of the creamed potatoes. The
same applies to a can of pork and
beans, and it really improves the quail
ity as we'll as increases the quantity.
When frying sweet potatoes, it will
be found much less trouble after they
are sliced and salted If they are
placed in a large, well-greased biscuit
pan and set in the oven to brown.
They only need to be turned over
once.
Add small amount of sugar to
meat when too much salt has been
added. This takes away the extra
salt taste without spelling the flavor
of the meat. 1t also works equally
Welt when too much salt has been
added to soup.
After opening a can of fruit, save
the juice from it, and when you make
gelatin the next time use it for dis
solving the gelatin instead of using
water. The juice gives a better flavor
and is more nutritious.
To peel ripe tomatoes neatly an
quickly, place them on fork anc
hold them above a gas fame ana
he peel will loosen very quickly. To
peel onions and not weep while doing
t may be accomplished by pouring
boiling water over the onions and
then setting them aside to cool. When
cool, the task is easily accomplished.
DO You KNOW?
That figs that have become dry may
be freshened by steaming them until
ten0er, then roll them in Sifted sugar
and put them in a warm room for q
while?
That fritters are much better fried
in drippings than in lard?
That q little minced celery mixed
with mayonnaise gives q delicious
flavor to salad dressing and is good
to use in combination with cooked
fruits which are extra sweet?
That milk which has changed may
be made fit for use again by stirring
in a little soda, and tomato bisque
never curdles If half a teaspoonful
of baking soda is added to the strained
tomato before mixing 1t with the milk.
To keep half a grapefruit fresh, in
vert 1t on a saucer with a small
quantity Of water in it. This will keep
the pulp tender and will not spoil the
flavor Of the grapefruit. If you open
large bottle Of olives they will soon
become tasteless before you can cat
them. Pour about one-half an inch
of olive oil in the bottle and the olives
will retain their flavor. TO keep salt
from caking in the shaker, place with

grains of rice.
