In Cake Baking.

When pouring layer cake batter into
the pans always spread 1t with spoon
SO that it is thin in the center and thick
at the sides Of the pan. Layer cakes
always rise in the center first of all.
and spreading the batter in this way
secures an even baking.
A fruit cake will be far richer, more
wholesome and less likely to burn il
the pan in which it is baked is set in
side second pan which is partly filled
with boiling water. The cake slowly
steams while it is baking. and instead
of being hard and dry and possibly
scorched little when 1t comes from
the oven it Is moist and rich, without
d hint Of the burned flavor which is
noticeable in much Of the homemade
fruit cake.
BY adding the fruit to the cake batter
after the -four has been sifted into the
dish, but not stirred into the batter.
so that fruit and flour are beaten in to-
gether, the former will not sink to the
bottom of the cake while 1t Is baking,
as fruit has trick of doing II it he
not added in this way.

THE CEMENT AGE.

BY some the present is termed the
golden age, by others the age of elec-
tricity, but we question whether it
might not be more properly termed the
clay and cement age, the marvellous
and increasing adaptation of these ma
terials in constructive work being one
of the wonders Of the present day.
There is nicely illustrated in this mat
ter the ease with which new COM
modify is made to take the place Of all
old one as the latter becomes exhaust
ed or too high priced. The cement
block factories are springing up all
over the country and furnishing at
most reasonable prices a most orna-
mental and enduring fireproof build
ing material, while it is almost as
cheap today to build house with
brick as with lumber.

A WELL FED PEOPLE,

The American people do not properly
appreciate the excellence and abun-
dance Of their daily rations of food.
They are the best fed people on earth.
We recently saw a large painting
whereon the artist had depicted doZ-
en- faces-an old man and woman, toll
ers in mine, factory and field; little
children-types of humanity which
never had enough to eat. There were
a horrible gauntness and look of al
most hopeless despair in these poorly
nourished faces, the look of the hun
cry wild beast, the soul beclouded with
ever present pangs of hunger. There
are more people of this sort in the
world than we dream of, in the city
slums, on the starved acres of Ireland.
in India, in China, wherever there is
poverty of soil, excess Of population.

where the hand Of despotism touches
humanity. For his three good square
meals a day. whether he lives in town
or country. for the always ample sup
ply Of palatable and nourishing food.

cured of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
