SOME TIMELY ADVICE ON
CAKE BAKING

IT he good cake baker is surpris-
ingly in the minority. even
among women who pride them
selves on their cooking. Some

too "runny." the filling Is sickenIngly

be desired. the cake itself Is broken and
lar from presentable-
All this Is quite unnecessary. Any
one can learn TO bake delicious cakes
who takes pains 10 observe a few
salient rules Of mixing and baking.
Firstly and foremostly, never use any
thing but the best materials. Stale eggs
and strong butter may possibly be con-
ceaIed in other and more highly spiced
cookery-in a cake never Do without
cake II you musJ. but never economic
In the quality Of the ingredients
Secondly. DO not guess at measure
ments. Before beginning have every
thing on the table in readiness. slit
the -four several times and measure
after sitting. Weigh sugar and butter.
bring up the milk from the refrigerator,
have the pans creased and the fiavoring
and baking powder at hand. No cake
One OF the chief troubles with most
cake bakers is an over-heavy hand with
-four. 1t is a safe rule 10 skimp on il
in almost every case. II you want a
rich, moist batter. Frequently. from a
quarter TO a half cup less need be used
than the average recipe calls fer. A
good test is to notice II the batter drops
easily from the spoon. II IL falls in
stiff. thick portions. be sure you have
used too much floor. Thin with 4 little
milk.
Mixing Is very important. Cream the
butter and sugar by hard beating On
winter the butter should be kept in the
kitchen over night 10 soften slightly
after that stir in the other ingredients
lightly. Separate the eggs. and beat
each very light. Add the yolks to the
creamed butter and sugar, stir in alter
nately the milk and -four. then add the
fiavoring, baking powder. and lastly fold
In the whites Of eggs. Divide the batter
evenly in the pans and spread smoothly.
The pans require attention. II a cake
is TO be presentable in appearance The
surest way 20 prevent breaking IL is TO
line each pan with smooth. yellow wrap
ping paper, such as can be bought at
any grocer's. Cut the exact size and
grease the paper, not the pan, with
little melted butter or fresh lard.
Many a wsll-mixed cake Is ruined in
the baking. so be sure your ovens are
in proper condition before starting, as
delays are ruinous. The time required
differs so much with the size and kind
of cake that 1t is difficult 10 give fixed
rules. Generally speaking, sponge cakes
and other eggless batters require slow
er heat than those with eggs If you
find the oven is too hot, slip a piece
of heavy paper over the pans and shut
off the drafts. The cake viii not be so
nice. but it is the best that can be done.
A cake is baked when it draws from the
sides of the pan. AS soon as removed

may be appropriate:
To remove oil stains from wood, mix
pipe clay and water together till they
form a sim paste, and spread this over
the stain. II left tn the next day and
then carefully removed, all trace of the

To remove coffee stains. rub thorough

For rust. ink and mildew marks on

salt and lemon juice. Moisten the salt
with the juice and spread over the
stains. allowing il TO remain for a short
time, and then. If necessary. repeating
the process. Rinse well afterward in

GIycerine and lemon are good to re-
move stains from hands. Put into a
bottle two ounces OF glycerine two
lemon juice and few drops of car
bolic acid. Shake well. After washing
and wiping the hands, rub a little OF

For ink stains on the hands. however,
use oxalic acid. Put an ounce of the

The TalleSt Woman

A CHARMING and kindly dispo-
~ sition IS hidden beneath the
~ somewhat impassive derneanor
Of Marie Fassnauer. the worlds
tallest giantess. Marie has lately ar
rived in London. and is now appearing
az a variety hall in the West End
Standing eight feet high, she claims
TO be the tallest woman m the world.
She has expressed a desire to devote
a large portion Of her salary TO char
ity. and. being passionately fond OF
children, she employs nearly all her
spare time In knitting stockings. gloves
and mittens for the little boys and
girls Of her native village IN Tyrol.
Hereditary tendencies perhaps ac-
count TO some extent for the abnormal
growth OF the Tyrolese giautess. Her
grandfather was a giant, although her
brothers and sisters. on the other
hand, are all OF normal proportions.
Curiously enough, Marie ceased 20 grow
when she was fifteen years Of age;
she is now twenty-seven, and IS ex-
tremely intelligent
The appetite of Marie is quite as re-
markable as her size Her first Eng
lish breakfast consisted Of fourteen
boiled eggs. three pints OF tea, two
ounces Of butter. ano hah dozen
rolls.
