Sure Thing If
Bride Is Cook
BY KATHRYN ST. JOHN

Haphazard meals yearly ruin thou
sands of marriages. Most martial
ships would maintain an evener keel
If brides knew cooking.
Many of the first years troubles be-
tween newlyweds would be avoided IL
the wife were capable Of preparing
foods with an experienced hand
Wives are to blame for the failure Of
many business men In the final analy-
sis. The business mans health de-
ponds a great deal on what he eats.
And it's up to his wife to see that he
gets the right kind of food. A health
fully balanced diet goes a long way
toward making the tired business man
less fatigued.
The expert home manager sees to
It that her husband never comes home
TO a delicatessen lunch. There is
carefully planned meal waiting for
him. The real housewife knows that
an unbalanced diet means trouble and
avoids 1t. Likewise. she appreciates
the fact that variation in her menus
ia important. In this connection the
following recipes have been selected
as an aid to the home manager:
Frozen Salad.

NOW is CRIMSON CLOVER TIME.

The best months for sowing Grim
son clover are August and Septem-
Der. the exact date depending on
the condition of the soil. URhulled
seed gives somewhat greater GER
tainty of stand than hulled seed.
The best protection against killing Of
the young plants by drought is the
preparation Of fine, moist and firm
ly compacted seed bed. Combina-
lions of crimson clover with oats,
hairy vetch or other fall-sown for
age crops give somewhat higher
yields and a surer stand than Grim
son clover alone. No insects trouble
crimson clover seriously. and the
only severe disease is the stem-rot,
or wilt.

A resolution authorizing con.

Saving For
Mortified
Councilman Keller Obtains
Reduction in Rate for
Street Lights.
Is About $500 Annually
Old Contract Rate SIS
New Rate Likely to be
$40 Per Light-Common
Council Proceedings.

The City of Mortified stands to
save several hundred dollars on
it's lighting, under the new rate
offered by the Atlantic City .Ilec-
trio Co. Councilman Victor Kell-
er of the lighting committee, ac-
companied by City Counsellor Edi-
son Hedges, held several consul
tations with representative of the
Electric Co., and succeeded in in
ducing them to offer a rate of $40
per light per year, as against SIS
per light in the contract which is
soon to expire. Mortified City
now has los lights, which alone
would mean a saving of $525 per
year, and with the additional
lights necessitated by the City's
rapid growth the saving will total
about 500 annually. This places
Mortified on the same basis as
c. E. Berry, attor-
ney representing the Atlantic City
Electric Co., was present at the
early part of the meeting. Coun-
Gil authorized the clerk to adver
tise for sealed bids for the fur
nishing of lights and units, to be
