MAGNOLIA'S WATER SYSTEM
Town Council Awarded Contract
After Receiving Bids

Plans are steadily going forward
in the town of Magnolia for the
installation of a modern water SER
vice for that town. At a recent
meeting of the Town Council, a
contract was awarded to c. A..
Pence, of Denton, Md, for the
drilling of a six-inch well on the
site of the proposed water tank.
The contract was awarded follow
ing competitive bidding. During
the same meeting bids were re-
ceived for forty thousand gallon
water storage tank, street service
main and fire hydrants. AT mu-
nicipal election held during the
early part of the summer, the
Magnolia taxpayers approved a
bond issue of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of raising money to pay for
the new water system.

The regular meeting of the Wo-
mems Auxiliary of Kent General
Hospital was held in the Court
House on Tuesday, November 5th,
at 230 .. m. The Auxiliary is
planning for the next Donation Day
and hopes for a generous response
from all members and other
friends of the Hospital. The date
is Monday, November 18th, Arm
istice Day." day when our hearts
are touched by memories of past
sufferings and sorrow and there is
desire to do something for those
suffering at the present time, so
let us try to put thought into our
gifts; let there be something to
bring cheer and comfort to those
who are sick and to those who are
caring for the sick. A needed ar
tjcle for the building or for the
grounds. A border of shrubbery,
which has been donated, is doing
well on the south boundary of the
grounds back of the Hospital and
it would be a great improvement
to have a similar border on the
north boundary. Gifts of shrub
berry, therefore, will be most ac-
ceptable. 1t is hoped there will be
the usual generous supply of home
made jellies, preserves, pickles and
canned goods which are always a
desirable addition to the pantry.
Groceries of all kinds and fruit and
vegetables are always needed. The
large donation of soap each year
is of great service, lasting almost
from one Donation Day to another
There is always need of towels, both
linen and bath towels, in fact all
things of use in the household are
acceptable. A liberal response
from Smyrna and vicinity would be
appreciated. There will be no house
to house canvass. All things will
be received by Mrs. G. Frank
Gootee and Mrs. r. H. Denney
chairmen, at their homes before

STOCK LOSSES CUT FUNDS
Many Who Paid Income Tax This
Year Have No Profit Now

Wiping out of stock market prof
is of Delawareans may cut down
the revenues for the operation of
Delaware public schools so greatly
during next year as to seriously
impair the operation of the schools
and the carrying out of the State
School building program next year
and during 1881. Revenues for op-
Grafton and extension of the school
system are derived mainly from
the State income tax and a share
of the franchise tax on Delaware
corporations. Three-quarters of
the State income tax for this year
already has been paid, and there is
ample money to carry out the
school operation and building pro-
gram this year and probably next.
The State income tax revenue this
year is estimated to be around S2,-
100000. Because of vanishing
stock market profits, many tax
ables may find it difficult to pay
their last quarterly installment of
tax in December, which would
have an effect on revenues from
that source. Persons who have
paid hundreds of thousands of dol
lars-if not millions-as State in
come tax this year, principally on
their stock market profits taken
during the year 1928, will have no
income tax to pay next year ex-
cept on their salaries and dividends
on their stocks, for they have loss
es instead of profits on their stocks

CANNING INDUSTRY IS NOT
UNDER STATE HOUR LAW
EMPLOYEES NOT UNDER PRO
lection OF STATUTES
Delaware Canning Industry Elk
empted Because of the Nature
of the Business

Fruit and vegetable canning and
preserving is the only Delaware in
dustry not covered by the 10-hour
day and 55-hour week law for wo-
men workers in the State accord
ing to a recent survey of all labor
legislation for women workers in
the country, made public by the
WOmenS' bureau of the u. S. De-
partment of Labor at Washington.
That canneries, excluded from the
Delaware hour law on the basis of
the need for long hours and over
time in this industry SO highly sea
sOnal and subject to irregularity
arising from climatic and weather
conditions, can come under legal
regulation, is proved by the IS
States and the District Of Colum-
bia reported as not exenpting the
canning industry in their general
laws limiting daily and weekly
hours of women workers in manu-
featuring. Two Of the ten States
and the District of Columbia re-
stricting the hours Of labor for
women 70 eight hours day do not
exempt canneries from this provi-
sion. Although three States-Cal-
iIornia, Oregan and Wisconsin,
have excluded canning from the
general hour law for women in
manufacturing as Delaware has,
nevertheless they have placed re-
strictionS on Women's overtime in
canneries by requiring an increas-
ed rate of pay, and may, therefore
be said to have regulated to a GER
tain extent women's hours in this
industry, and to have olazed the
trail for similar legislation in other

sweating is observed on the front.
To the careful housekeeper sweat.
ing lie annoying and it may even
prove troublesome by destroying
the finish or causing the doors to
swell and fit poorly.
However, sweating Is condition
which must be expected even with
a welI-made refrigerator on hot,
humid days when the air Is heavily
laden with moisture. A good refrig-
orator will maintain low tempera
tures in the ice chamber and food
Compartment and due to these low
temperatures the front frame of the
refrigerator is somewhat cooler than
the air in the room.
When the moist air of the room
comes into contact with the cooler
front frame it gives up some of it's
moisture and sweating results. Tn
fortunately, 1t is not possible TO in.
sulate the front frame of the refrig-
orator or the edges Of the doors as
effectively as the other walls. so
sweating may readily occur at those
places. Naturally, cold air which
flows out of the refrigerator when
the doors are opened, and cold air
which leaks out because of poorly
fitting or partly closed doors, will
increase the amount of sweating. )

RABBIT now FED
like CHICKEN

Relatively few housewives In the
East are acquainted with the de.
licious flavor Of domestic rabbit
meat. Most of them have been
accustomed to think OF rabbit in
the terms Of the cottontail rabbit,
which Is available only during a
short open hunting season. or OF
the jack rabbit. which Is generally
considered more Of . pest than an
article of diet.
Domestic hutch-raised rabbits may
be eaten the year round. and thsre
are now hundreds OF domestic rab-
bit farms throughout the country
where the animals are being raised
for the market.
Hutch.raised rabbits are carefully
bred and fed for table use. They
eat rolled cereals. alfalfa hay, and
leafy vegetables. The nature OF
their food makes the meat sweet,
tender, and excellently favored,
1t can be better compared with
chicken than with wild rabbit.
Young. tender rabbits may he
fried or broiled. or II just a little
larger than the frying or broiliug
stage, smothered according to- the
method Southern cooks use for
chicken.
The older. larger rabbits may also
be used for short orders by par
boiling whole.

ADDING FLAVOR
MADE EASY

Flavor Is what makes people like
or dislike the things they eat. Too
many cooks ignore this fact when
ii is simple matter to get the
desired effect. For instance:
Mace is a spice which is not
appreciated as 1t should be. A
pinch Of powdered mace, or a
blade Of whole mace. simmered
IN a cream soup will make II very
delicate and delicious. Mace win
also improve creamed oysters ana
similar dishes.
Creaned Hamburg steak Is very
GOOD when Favored with a very
little powdered mace. F'rizzle the
bits of meat. using one pound Of
chopped Hamburg. In hot tat for
a few moments. Then sprinkle Il
with. one-eighth teaspoonful OF pep
per one-quarter teaspOonful Of salt,
speck of paprika and two table.
suoonfuls OF flour. stir over the
fire until slightly brown, then add
one cupful, Of milk to make a nice
gravy. Simmer until smooth and
slightly thickened and add one
eighth teaspoonful OF mace ana
serve the meat on strips of toast.
And cloves! Have you ever tried
adding Just one Glove to an Irish
stew or to goulash for the sake
of variety? Insert the Glove in an
onion that u going into the stew.

rate is not excessive. Water is
Used for cooling purposes, but this
adds little, If any, to the operating
cost. A safety valve attached to
the burner prevents gas escaping
should the burner accidentally be-
come extinguished.
For those who are using ice in
the refrigerator it is important to
to keep in mind that to obtain the
best results the ice chamber should
be kept at least half full all the
time. II the ice gets too low. cir,
cuIation will be decreased, and
higher temperatures will prevail

Ice Important Factor
when ice is used it is most
important to keep plenty of 1t On
the refrigerator at all times, and
II is essential that, the food be
placed in the proper location.
Foods, like milk, uncooked meat
and soup stock, spoil quickly and
should be stored in the coolest
part while other foods, like eggs,
fruit and vegetables deteriorats
much less rapidly and may be
stored for q reasonable period in
the warmest part Of your refrig-
orator.
In the side-icer type Of refrig-
orator the coolest part of the food
compartment is beneath the ice
chamber and the warmest part is
at the top shelf. With the top-icer
construction the coolest part OF
the food compartment is beneath
the cold air flue and the warmest
part Is at the uptake hue. Foods
which give off odor should be
kept in tightly covered containers
or placed on the top shelf where
the circulation of air will carry the
odor directly into the ice chamber
or cooling compartment.
A mechanical refrigerator is an
excellent device for protecting the
food supply. The control IL usually
adjusted so that the warmest part
OF the food compartment will not
exceed so F. degrees. even when

improved their units so that they
