a Healthy Cake.-How many know how
to make good soft gingerbread? It is as
simple to make as fudge" and far more
healthful. With a cupful OF English wal
nut meats stirred In just before baking, 1t
makes an excellent "Kaffeekuchen" for the

For this purpose 1t should be baked in

New England recipe book we take the fol-
lowing. which tells US how to make Fan

sugar, one cup black molasses, one cup milk
and water, in which dissolve two heaping
teaspoonfuls of saleratus, two heaping tea
spoonfuls of ginger, one level teaspoonful
of cinnamon, three-quarter cup OF butter;
enough sifted flour to make soft dough-

greatest dressmaker is not ashamed TO
copy them.
But II the sewer has simply gifts for exc

Soft, Straight Folds.

A quaint old-fashioned gown which a
fashionable modiste Is designing for a
Thanksgiving debutante shows an ex-
tremely full, straight skirt of liberty
silk. Coming to deep point In front. the
full corsage of silk fastens over at the
left side in three large button-like ro-
settles, and full fold of white muslin
fills in the rather low neck, leaving sim
pie V-shaped opening about the throat.
Two double-headed frills of muslin finish
each short sleeve. and rose of silver
graces the left of the corsage.
Deep girdle effects. described in the sec
ond frock are being very much used as
simple dancing and evening frocks of all
kinds. In some instances silk or satin is
stretched plainly over a shaped girdle form.
Other girdles show folds of supple ma
terial laid tightly on the form, while on
q princess gown recently displayed the
girdle effect was produced by bands of rib
bon curving from the back across the sides
and into long points at the front.
Artificial flowers, minglihg with folds of
chiffon or tulle, are another noticeable fea-
ture Of dance frocks. In one instance chif-
fon roses dangled from beneath numberless
skirt and the elbow sleeves, and a festoon
of these soft flowers made kind of bertha
around the decollete neck. On another
skirt three wide ruffies on a line with the
knees displayed a heading of coiled yellow
satin ribbon, having here and there several
loops caught up In a bunch of the palest
yellow artificial roses.
Wraps to accompany these delicate
gowns are usually in white broadcloth, ana
a favorfte model shows three deep capes,
one above the other, coming to points both
at front and back. A fat collar of white
embroidered In gold and thread, forms the
only trimming.
For wear with this cape. an exquisite
loose opera hood is built of dotted maline
and accordeon-pleated chiffon The hood
itself consists Of shirrings of maline with
silk lining and warm interlining while a
huffy edging of chiffon and naline ruffies
surrounds the face. Finishing the hood is
cape of dotted maline edged with fittings

BJSfON MAN MISSING
Trust Funds of over 100000
Ara Said tO Re involved

AEuS uHuS W. WV VcOOSOOO
Are Said To Be involved
Boston, March 21.-Charles #. Berry,
trustee of II estates and holder of
trust funds valued at hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, with an office at %
Court street, and living at ass Norfolk
street, Dorchester, has left the city
under peculiar circumstances. Accord
ing to allegations made in a bill in
equity filed in the superior court, he
is an absconder. The amount involved
will not be known for some time, I'M
til his affairs have been investigated,
but ii is roughly estimated that 1t Will
not be less than $5O0,0O0. The pres
ent whereabouts of Berry are not
known. His affairs are in the hands
of James d. Colt, as receiver, APP
pointed by the supreme court.
The disappearance of Berry came as
great shock to a large number of bust
ness men and members of the legal pro-
fession, among whom he was widely
known and highly respected.
1t would seem likely from appear
ances that the impending trouble had
been anticipated by Berry. He must
have seen some time ago that an ac-
counting was inevitable. He had been
importuned by various interests for an
accounting. He had failed to give this
accounting and application was made
in the probate court in at least one
instaLce and an accounting was or
dered by the court.

hani7 lou remember some years ago
your business was going absolutely to
pieces. You did not know which way
to turn. The bills were coming in and
had to be paid or you would be flung
into the bankruptcy court. All night
long you kept walking the floor You
kept saying. to yourself: "Oh, God,
what shall do? What shall l do?"
The morning broke, but that morning
was as black to you as midnight. Sud
denly there came a ring at your door
bell. You thought 1t was one of your
creditors. The hammer of that bell
struck your brain as though it was a
butchers bluogeon. The parlor door
opened. At first you were too dazed
to look up. But when you looked you
saw not Il creditor, but dear old friend

you need. God bless you, my boy.
Goodby. You will come out all right"
What did you do? Did you thank him?
Oh, no. You were too deeply moved
for that. You just cried like little
child. Then you brushed your tears
away and went forth to meet your
creditors. Oh. your head was up; your
step was firm; your lips wore happy
smile. In your hand you bore the
name of your friend who had financial
ly saved you.

Why? When Cyrus gave his kiss he
gave to his favorite his heart. He gave
to him the symbol that hereafter he
and all that he had were CrysantaS'.
May the Gear Christ place upon every
one of our lips a holy kiss! And then
when he becomes part Of us and we
a part OF him we shall bear his name,
and all that he has shall be ours, and
all that we have shall be his. With
that one kiss we shall enter into the

REAL PR0Hlblll0N
It Promises to Become a Fact
In the Pine Tree State
NEW LAW rs IN EFFECT
Enforcement Commissioner to
Carry Out Law Where Local
Officials Fail to Do Solve
Goods Shipped to Boston

Portland. Me-, March 1S.-The most
determined campaign for the literal en-
forcement of the prohibitory law OF
the state perhaps ever attempted has
begun as a result of the passage by
the legislature of the Sturgis bill.
The new law authorizes the governor
to appoint a commission of three men,
DeIs who shall have the power TO eG
ercise in any part of the state "all the
common law and statutory powers Of
sheritfs in their respective counties in
the enforcement of the law against
the manufacture and sale of intoxicar'
ing liquors." Two members of the
commission are TO be members of the
dominant polite party, and the third
a member of the political party casting
the next highest vote at the state cleo
ton.
These men, who will be known as
enforcement commissioners, have the
power to appoint deputies with similar
powers to various counties. The pur-
pose of the commission is to enforce
the prohibitory law where the local ottl
GERS have fuiled to do so.
Yesterday the sheriffs of several
counties sent out sweeping instructions
regarding the enforcement of the law.
In this city all places where intoNi-
cants in any form or under any con-
struction of the law have been Of
fered. suspended the sale and thou
sands of dollars worth of liquors
have been delivered for shipment 20
Boston.
Hviel proprietors, druggists and
others have been instructed to lmme-
diately forward their internal revenue
certificates to the sheriff's office. Sim
liar action has been taken in the other
cities of the state.
Many of the legislators confidently
predict that the ultimate result OF the
new law will be the resubmission of
the prohibition question TO the voters.
A conference was held at Biddeford
between County Attorney Emery.
Sheriff Athorne and the deputy sherifls
of Riddeford and Saco, looking to the
strict enforcement of the prohibitory
law In York county. Mr.. Emery stated,
after the conference. that the mayors
and chiefs of police in Biddeford and
Saco will be notified that they will bs
expected to assist the deputy sheriffs
TO the utmost of their power in enforc-
ing the law and if they fail to do so
the enforcement commissioners will be
apDealed to- He said further that he
had some surprises in store, but he
would give no intimation as to their
nature.
Three deputy sheriffs started out to
visit the drug stores in Riddeford last
night. and from four of them they Sc
cured enough liquor of all descriptions
to fill two express wagons. The
LIQUORS were taken to the stOrehouSe
and the druggists were summoned TO
appear in court to answer the charge
of Illegally keeping liquor for sale.
The raids created considerable ex-
element and it is quite impossible to
obtain liquor for any purpose in Bidde'
