Recipe That Has Given Satisfaction
for Many Years.


The following recipe for an inexpen.
sive cake has been used In the family
from whom received It for 25 years,
and In mine for 10, and have always
found 1t satisfactory: Cream together
one-half cup butter, one cup of sugar
and two eggs. beaten separately. Sift
together 2-3 cupfuls flour and one
teaspoonful of baking powder, and add
1t alternately with one-half cup milk.
Bake about one-half hour in moderate
oven. This is called q plain cake in
the original recipe, but with little ex-
ira trouble and no expense II may
serve as the foundation for an almost
infinite variety. The white OF one
egg may be reserved for frosting.
Thicker 1t, without beating, with pow
dered sugar, flavor. spread on the cake
and mark of in squares before thor
oughly hard. Sometimes decorate
each square with half an English wal
nut. A half-cup of chopped hickory
nuts added to the batter makes It a
delicious nut cake; tablespoonful OF
cocoa or spices added to half the bat
ter and placed in the pan in alternate
spoonfuls makes a marble cake, and
half-cup Of raisins. currants, or both,
makes fruit cake Use only whites
of eggs in the batter finally, thicken
the yolks with powdered sugar, and
you have snow cake with golden frost-

first Of the month with an avalanche In
Switzerland which cost 81 lives,
among the lost being several Ameri.
cans. Three days afterward came the
schoolhouse fire at Collingwood. o.
One hundred and seventy-eight chill
dren burned. trampled and crushed to
death! No adjectives and no words OF
any language could adequately de-
scribe such an appalling event. Vio-
lent death invested with terrors al
ways strikes humanity with peculiar
| fiendishness when II seizes as its prey
helpless and innocent children. This
holocaust of childhood stunned the
country into oblivion of lesser calam-
tiles, while the despairing shrieks of
hundreds Of mothers and fathers rang
across the world. The month closed
with an earthquake in Mexico In
which 500 people we're killed and a
mine explosion at Havana, Wyo.,
which added 70 more items to the long
toll of the years violent deaths.
Fire and earthquake gave place to
food and storm in April, and the loss
of life leaped upward with terrific
bounds. The first great disaster Of the
month occurred in China, where 1000
people were drowned in flood which
inundated the province, of Hu-pih. A
few days later two railway accidents,
one in Australia and the other In
Alberta, accounted for 6S more un-
fortunates. On April "a series Of
cyclones of unprecedented fury burst
over the southern states, destroying
1858 lives, annihilating villages, and
devastating property to the extent of
millions of dollars. Mississippi paid
229 lies to the rage of the storm,
louisiana contributed 108, and Ala
bama 81.
= While the cyclones were still ravag-
ing the south, in far northern Alberta
a snowslide buried 40 persons and
obliterated a village. The last. week
of April saw last supreme effort put
forth by the malign fates to make the
first of the month of spring the most
deadly of the dread year. Forty lives
were lost in a railroad accident In
Australia and % more in a similar dis
aster In Mexico. A landslide at Notre
Dame de ISABELLE, Canada, added SO
to the swelling total. and finally the
Japanese cruiser Mutsushim blew up
and s240 members of its crew persisted.

1t might well have seemed that the
fury of the fates would have been ex-
hausted by this time, but instead hui
mainly had only experienced the first
few blows of the terrible scourging
which was to be visited upon 1t. In
the first three days of the next month
rs persons were burned to death in
America, 13 in Norway, and the col
lapse of tenement in London ac-
counted for 20 more. The following
day ferryboat capsized in Russia and

sible for 1886 fatalities. On the 18th
81 lives were lost In a storm off the
coast of Spain, and on the 18th a flood
in Asia Minor swept away 1000 peo-
pie.
Few Fatalities In August.
August was the most mercifnl
month in the year. In the United
States the death roll was ITO. prin-
cipally caused by floods in North and
South Carolina and Georgia. The
biggest disaster abroad was cyclone
in Hungary which killed "A people. 1t
was closely followed by a mine ex.
plosion in England with 20 fatalities.
The total deathroll for the remaining
disasters was 81, the largest single
item being 80 lives lost in forest, fires
In British Columbia.
The United States was still FORUM
ate through September with total
of fatalities merely amounting to 49,
but abroad the ominous figures com
menced to mount with rush again.
Five thousand lives were lost In q
food in India and 140 through a ferry
disaster at Symrna.
October was the month OF the great
forest fires which .deyastated Michi.
gan, destroying so lives and $4,000
900 worth Of property. A typhoon in
the Philippines added its quota of 500
souls. and second typhoon OF China
chained 5000 victims.
Both at home and abroad November
proved q comparatively innocuous
month, although 1t was marked by two
comparatively large disasters. Three
hundred and thirty-nine lives were lost
in mine explosion in Germany, and
123 deaths resulted from the burning
Of the steamer Sardinia at Malta.
December and Yuletide came and
exhausted humanity saw the black
year drawing to close in apparent
calm. They were looking forward to
the new year in eager hope that the
evil days were over. when the great.
est blow of all fell.
On December %, 1908, occurred the
great Italian earthquake. the most
stupendous disaster OF the worlds his.
tory. Even yet It is impossible to
make an accurate estimate OF what its
cost was either In loss of human life
or property. It h known that IN. 600

Dangers Surround Earth's Delivers.
An examination Of the figures brings
home forcibly the terribly dangerous
conditions under which work the men
who go down into the earth to delve
for wealth. From every country In
the world which owns mines was con
tributed the tale of grewsome un
foreground tragedy, In all 2,270 min
ers were sacrificed, and the universal
distribution of the disasters would
seem to indicate that no precautions
can be taken which will guarantee
safety with any certainty to the sub.
terranean workers.
In considering the statistics given
here It must not be forgotten that
they do not include many thousands
Of violent deaths which would run the
total far above its present tremend.
Gus total OF over quarter OF miI
lion. No account is taken In these
figures of single fatalities. such a.
persons killed by street cars and IN
other thoroughfare accidents and the
long list of individual deaths fol-
which the railroads are annually re-
sponsible. Also the criminal statistics
are not included, and II 10 only too

meet their death from assassination
every year Is q large one. Suicides
also are not included. nor the biz

my six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had 1t. By
scratching she caused large sores
which were Irritating. Her body was
a complete sore but IL was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but 1t did
not help her and ! tried several rene
dies but without avail. Seeing the

the earthquake at Lisbon In i75B,
when $4,000 lives had been lost. This
terrible tragedy had been for over q
century and half the object of the
awful dismay OF the world. II be-
comes almost insignificant in view Of
the calamity which befell In the clos
ing days OF 1908. For every soul, that
went out at Lisbon two were Quenched
in Sicily and Italy and 5000 more
were added for good measure.
Another point of interest, especially
for those who cherish the venerable
superstition anent the unluckiness Of
the number Is, Is the discovery that
there was a disaster on every thir-
teenth day Of the month for the first
seven months OF the year. The rec
ord was started on January Is, the
date of the Boyertown theater fire. A
month later there was a boiler ex-
plosion In Pennsylvania. followed in
March by an avalanche which took IS
lives in Siberia. April .13 saw flood
in China which cost 1000 lives, and
the same day in May similar disas-
ter was responsible for the loss Of
10000 people. while AZ people died in
a cyclone In Louisiana. June Is a
dynamite explosion took nine lives In
Winnipeg, and on July 13 AZ lives
were lost in storm of the coast of
Spain.
Another curiosity Is discovered In
connection with the highly-useful ele-
vator which has made possible sky
scrapers. While 1t is fairly common
to hear of accidents in elevators. few

By q typhoon and the total of her dead
was increased 1000. The following
day another thousand lives were sacri-
feed In mine fire at Kewang, China.
June apparently despaired Of ever
competing successfully with her sister
month. However. she continued to
pile tragedy on tragedy. On the first
of the month an accident on the Amur
river In China resulted in SO deaths,
and IS was added to the days roll by
q food In Mexico. On the fourth a
typhoon on the west coast OF Australia
wiped out 270 lives, and two days aft
erward another cyclone burst In Ne
braska at a cost of 20 lives, to be fol-
lowed the next day with another cy-
clone In Iowa which increased the list
by five. On the same day 20 persons
were lost In food In Mexico and 18
In an explosion in Vienna. The month
Of roses concluded its list with tor
nado, which struck the Portuguese
coast and slew 400, while Oklahoma
contributed 100 more of her citizens
to another storm.
AS far as America was concerned
July was the most merciful month Of
the year. Fifty-two lives was the en-
tire tribute collected in the United
States through the agencies of flood,
fire and storm. This leniency was
more than compensated, however, by
the list of fatalities abroad. On the
second of the month Batavia, Java,
was ravaged by storm which de-
stroyed 600 lives. On the same day a
mine explosion in Russia was respon-
