to Things as They Are.

Danville, Illinois.-Speaker of the

en- issue with President Taft and pro.
gressives on tariff revision, in a
speech before home folks he an

Old-Time SPONGE Cake.

This is my great-grandmother's rec
ipe for old-time sponge cake, and 1t Is
most delicious of all, If made with
care and attention to the important
features, writes Mrs. May Peintner in
the National Magazine. Weigh any
number of eggs -four will make a
good-sized cake), take their weight in
their shells of granulated sugar, and
half their weight in sifted flour, the
grated rind and Juice of one lemon.
Beat the yolks until very light colored
and like thick cream, then add the SUI
gar and the mixture, again beaten
very light. The lemon juice and rind
should be added and then the four
which must be sifted until very light
and full Of air. The whipped whites
should be folded in with the greatest
of care. Have the heat Of the oven
moderate at first, increasing 1t gradu-
ally after the cake is well risen.

Head-on While Coin at High Speed
One Was TeIescoped.

Fort Wayne, Indiana.-The most
disastrous wreck in the history OF
interurban electric railroading in the
middle west occurred near Kings
land, Ind, and claimed a toll of AZ
dead and score injured, at least six
Of whom will probably die.
Most of the victims were pleasure
seekers from Bluffton and Warren,
Indiana, en- route to the Fort Waynes
fair. twenty-five of them were dead
before the dust and splinters of the
wrecked cars had settled. Others died
in the wreck before they could be
released and three expired during the
late afternoon on operating tables in
st. Joseph's hospital in Fl Wayne.
The disaster was the result of a
head-on collision on the Bluffton d.

Indiana Traction Company, empty and

during the past ten years and that the
