SERIOUS PROBLEM coNFRoNrs
RAILROADS IN IOWA OWING TO

Council Bluffs. Dec. 5.-The water
question has become a serious one for
the railroads operating thru Iowa,
owing to the prolonged drouth. Upon
the %" system, where dependence Is
placed upon reservoirs for water for
the motive force, as Is the case on
large part of their mileage in Iowa,
the shortage Of water is most SER
ious.
The division which extends from
Keokuk to Red Oak depends almost
entirely upon artificial reservoirs for
water for the engines and these are
now entirely dry except in few
places, and in them the water supply
is exceedingly limited.
Two Tenders Required.
1t has become q common thing on
this division for engines to be pulling
two tenders, one being insufficient to
supply the engine over the long dis
tances that the trains are compelled to
cover between points where there are
wells or other means of obtaining
water than thru the company reser-
voirs
May Put on Water Trains.
Yesterday a conference Of division
superintendents was held with several
of the higher officials in the operating
department, at which it was almost
decided that. to relieve the situation
and enable the continuance of the train
schedules, special water trains will be
run carrying water from the Missis-
sippi and Missouri rivers to the dry
points. The plan under consideration
is to haul water from the rivers and
replenish the reservoirs. The adoption
of such a plan would be unprece-
denied.
Situation Without Parallel.
In former dry years no such extreme
measures were necessary. from the
fact that not since the railroads nave
accumulated such extensive mileage
has there been dry year to be com
pared with the present In former
years local wells at division points
have been found sufficient to supply
the deficiency, but now the mileage
and number of engines in use pre-
clude this possibility.

Baking Helps
Learn to REGULATE the Hest of
Your Oven
By11rs. Janet Mckenzie Hill, Editor Of
the Boston Cooking School Magazine

ByNrs. Janet Mckenzie Hill, Editor Of
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
There is just one way to make
your cakes rise high and keep an
even surface. Have your oven
moderate at first, until the cake is
fully r:zen; then increase the heat,
so as to brown it over quickly.
Extreme heat stiffens the dough.
If you stiffen the outside of the
cake before the rising is complete,
you stop the rising process. Then
the leavening gas, forming inside.
will bulge up the center, where
the dough is still soft, and spoil
the shape of the cake.
NorE-Biscuits or other pastries
made from stiff dough, that are cut into
shapes for the oven, bake in hot oven.
This is because the cut surfaces of the
dough do not scar over, but rather
leave the pores open, allowing the
leavening gas to escape and the heat to
penetrate readily. Small ovens cool
quickly; therefore they should be made
several degrees hotter than larger
oven, and the less the door is opened
the better. Do not attempt to bake
bread and pastry together. Bread re.
quires prolonged, moderate baking
pastry the reverse.
Have strong underheat for baking
powder preparations, especially pastry.
These are only few of the many
baking helps found in the K G Cooks
