SPONGE CAKE RECIPES.
Old-Fashioned Sponge Cake.

Commoner.
1t is perfection: Weight of the
eggs in sugar and half the weight in
flour. Separate the yolks and whites
of the eggs and, as no baking powder
is used, they must be beaten very
light. After beating the yolks and
sugar until they froth, and the whites
until they stand alone, blend by put
ting in a little flour and then a little
white, alternately, until all is in the
bowl. Flavor-rosewater is h e
orthodox flavoring for sponge cake,
but, Of course, any liked may be used.
Lastly, squeeze in the juice of a
lemon, beat quickly and put to bake.
Sponge is usually baked in sheets,
takes about twenty minutes, but if
the whole is baked in loaf, it will
take about forty minutes. | use ten
eggs, as they usually weigh one
pound.

Hadley Wants Sure Thing

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. o.
Governor Hadley still maintains his
silence regarding his senatorial inten-
tons.
1t may be stated with comparative
certainty that the Governor would
run for United States Senator if the
Republican leaders could convince
him the Legislature will be Republic
can on joint ballot.
Jesse A. Tolerton, who is one of
the shrewdest of the Governors polit-
lcal advisors, has been trying TO get a
line on the legislative situation with
out much success.
Homer Mann, of Kansas City, was
here trying to convince the Governor
that he should run. Mann intimated
that if Hadley would run Walter S.
Dickey probably would take the chair
manship of the new Republican State
Committee.

Don't Break Down.

Severe strains on the vital organs,
like strains on machinery, cause
break downs. You can't over-tax
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or
nerves without serious danger to
yourself. If you are weak or run
down, or under strain of any kind,
take Electric Bitters the matchless,
tonic medicine. Mrs. j. E. Van de
Sande, of Kirkland, ILL.,, writes:
That did not break down, while
enduring a most severe strain, for
three months, is due wholly to Elec-
trio Bitters. Use them and enjoy
health and strength. Satisfaction

The tug NJ. Mitchell Davis OF the Taylor
feet of Washington arrived here yes
terday after a hard seasons work on
Chesapeake bay, and will go out of serv-

Since the latter part of last spring the
Davis has been constantly employed in
general towing from the capes of the
Chesapeake to this city. In seeking tows
she would often venture we'll out to sea
off Cape Henry. and has several times
been caught by blows that forced her to
run for shelter into Hampton Roads.
Just previous to coming to this city
Yesterday the Davis was the first tug to
reach the stranded British ship Nor
wood after her crew left her. The YES
sci went ashore last week a short dis
lance above Cape Charles, while on her
way from Turks Island with salt for
New York.
When the crew of the Davis went
aboard they found fire still lighted in
the galley stove and pan of bread in
the oven. The tug made an effort to pull
the ship off the beach, but was unsuc-
cessful.
The next morning the Norwood was
full of water, having started tlmbers in
her bottom. and was not worth saving.
Before returning to service the ma
chinery and hull of the Davis will be put
In thorough order. She will be out T
