} getting comma, TENET Y 4 u t SN Ne 'omen's The 'Women's Corner For. Anything of Interest to the Homemaker and the Housekeeper All cakes may be divided into two groups, those made with fat and those without, The following is the standard basic method which may be used for mixing all cakes containing fat, whatever the recipe used or the final appearance of the cake is to be, The aim in making a cake with fats is to produce, through a per fect combination of ingredients, a product of feathery lightness and {ine, evensgrained, soft texture, Since the mixing and the baking of a cake should be a continuous pro cess, the preliminary work should all be done before you begin meas suring and mixing, First assemble the utensils and ingredients, Cut wax paper to fit the pan, grease or oll it with a salt-free fat (salty {at will cause the cake to stick); aust with flour, hitting the pan sharp- ly to remove excess flour, With all the ingredients assemb- led you are ready to begin work, The cake, which we are going to make required 1-2 cup shortening, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 2-3 cup milk, 1-4 teaspoon salt, 2 cups pastry flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1-2 teaspoon vanilla, All mat- erials used for cake making should "be of the very best quality, Suit. able utensils are also ry for uniform results, Standard measur. 'ing cups holding 16 tablespoons and a set of measuring spoons should «be part of your equipment, The 'measuring of a part of a cupful of fat may be simplified by filling the extra space in the cup first with water (if the recipe callse for 3-4 cup of fat, fill the cup 1-4 full of water,) then adding the fat until the water is level with the top ot the cup you will have the desired amount of fat, The cup may now be used for measuring the liquid, Since flour packs very readily, gift it before measuring to insure ! accuracy, An easy way Is to use large pieces of wax paper to sift it on, Sift the flour, measure, add the other dry ingredients and sift again three times to be sure they are ail well blended, Cream shortening until it is soft and wax, add the su- gar a tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, After it Is mixed until light and fluffy, push to one side; then add the egg yolks, and beat until thick, o achieve a cake of fine, soft texture the ingredients must be thoroughly blended at each step, Add the vanilla to the milk, then add the flour and milk alternately on the sugar-and-fat mixture, mix- ing well after each addition. Beat well for a few minutes, after all the ingredients except the egg whites have been combined then fold in the egg whites, A rubber plate-scraper: is use- ful in cake-making; with it you can remove the last'drop of batter from the bowl, A large cake must be baked more slowly than a layer cake. If the | oven is too hot, a erust will form over the top before the cake has had time to rise fully, then as it continues to rise it will break across the top. 350 degrees Fahrenheit is the correct temperature for baking loaf cakes and the time required 45 to 60 minutes, The temperature for layer cakes is higher, 375 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes, A cake Is done when in shrinks from the side of the pan; when a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean; and when the cake is not indented in the centre when pressed lightly with the fin- gers, . + When the cake is taken from the oven place it on a wire rack so that no moisture collects under- neath it while it is cooling. Re- move the pan and the paper at once, and let the cake hecome cold before frosting, If the cake is iced while hot it is likely to melt and absorb part of the frosting, Cover the cake generously with your favorite cooked or uncooked frosting and decorate with nuts or cherries and angelica, A favorite cake with the house- wives is the plain Butter Cake, for which the recipe is as follows, 1-4 cup butter, 1-2 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1-2 cup milk, 1 1-2 eups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1-2 teaspoon vanilla, Follow the above description of cake-making, creaming the butter first adding sugar gradvally and the egg, Add the milk alternately with the flour and baking powder, which have been mixed and sifted. Add vanilla and beat thoroughly. Rake in a loaf in a moderate (350 degrees) oven, for 35 minutes, WOULD NOT ALLOW HAIRCUT IN COURT Vancouver, B, C,, Feb, 29,-- An- nouncing that he would not allow his court to be turned into a barber shop or constitute himself of "pro- fessor of the tonsorial art" Judge J. N. Ellis in County Court, Wed- nesday, refused a practical demon- _ stration by Allan Arnold of his ability to shave and cut hair, Arnold's appeal from a faflure to pass a test by the board of ex- aminers in barbering was allowed with cost by his honor after he stated that the questions submitted to the applicant were entirely out- " side the scope of the Barbers' Act, The Judge pointed out that the board apparently was unwilling to act on his suggestion that Arnold should be given another chance at a second examination, and thus ob- viate the necessity of the County Court demonstration. A sketch in a theatrical weekly calls the subject an *"'expert lion tamer." We don't suppose there is anything in which mediocrity shows up quicker than in lion taming. -- Detroit News. , To Launch New Canal Freighter in Winter Midland, Ont.,, Mar, 1. -- The new canal freighter built at the Midland shipbuilding yards will be launched in mid-winter, A space about 100 by 300 feet has been cleared in front of the yards by the tug Strathbogie, the ice be- ing over 14 Inches thick and into this area theFernie, the lategt ad- ditional bottle of champagne will be broken on the bows by Miss Margaret Craig.

They should never be washed to remove the dirt. Wipe over them with a sponge wrung ont tightly, first in tepid soapy i9ater (for which use a mild toilet soap) and then in clear water. wipe and polish carefully with a soft silk rag. Another and quite safe way of cleaning them is to rub over the surface with a slice of raw potato, removing the soiled part or renew- ing the potato as frequently as nec- essarys After cleaning, the picture should be left uncovered in a mild temperature. » w " Remember how Granama aways said that there is nothing better to cure a cold than onions, and lots of them?
