ton of an honorable discharge.

Old Fashioned Sponge Cake.

A recent article in a housekeeping
journal was headed cold fashioned
sponge cake" The writer proceeded
to say that she has been baking on a
wager for a man who declared that
the connection of the old fashioned
sponge cake was one of the lost arts.
She then went on to give her recipe:
Three eggs, one cup each Of sugar and
flour, one and a half cups of boiling
water, one teaspoonful of baking
powder and half lemon. Another
writer says: The man, if he had but
known it, won his bet, for this is not
sponge cake at all. 1t makes railroad
cake, and is "a recipe introduced about
twenty years ago. Nothing which
contains either heaven or liquid is,
properly speaking, sponge cake; that
is composed in the orthodox fashion,
