G. A. Mclaughlin, who had charge of

his text First Epistle of John 3:3,
And every man that has this hope

TRAVELLERS DINNER GIGANTIC
Preparations May Have to Be Made
for Fifteen Hundred.
MUCH SYSTEM IS REQUIRED
Committees and subcommittee Are
Meeting Daily to Make All Ar
ranEements aH Complete
as Possible.

Instead OF 100 diners as at first ex-
pected. from 1900 TO 1850 men will dine To-
gether at the Auditorium the evening OF
December 30, the occasion being the Com
merciaI Clubs Travelling Mems dinner.
The dinner Immediately after being pro-
posed developed into so big an affair that
IL at once became necessary to systemic
with as much detail as a census, all ar
rangements. including invitations and re-
sponses.
Accordingly the Commercial club besides
letters has sent out regular ';anks to be
filled. the titles being firm name travelling
men. heads Of firm. department heads and
credit men, city statesmen" Below the sub
head travelling men" thirty-five or more
lines had to be drawn, for many jobbers
and manufacturers have this number Of
commercial travellers representing them.
Invitations to Commercial club members,
not travelling men, or heads Of firms or
otherwise above scheduled will not go out
until Monday, for as the dinner is primarily
and all the time travelling mans affair,
It has been necessary TO invite and hear
from all such before inviting anyone else,
because even in the Auditorium aocommo-
dations are limited. This fact testifles to
the number Of travelling men who will be
guests that night.
Many Meetings Held.
Meetings of subcommittee are being held
daily at the Commercial club, two or three
committees a day, because the work of
preparing menus and programs and every
thing else for so gigantic dinner is really
tremendous
The last circular letter sent out by the
general committee on arrangements warns
against confusion and tells OF the necessity
OF prompt responses. The letter reads
thus:
"As already advised the price per plate
is 500, each house to be responsible for its
reservations The affair will be held In the
Auditorium on a big scale and, from pres
ent indications, will break all previous rec.
ords for magnitude and enthusiasm. A good
dinner will be served. There will not bt
much speaking, but what there is, will b,
worth listening to. The entertainment com
mittee is busy. but silent on what they ar,
planning.
IF you would avoid later embarrassment
to yourself and the committee mail bIanl
to reach the Commercial club not latei
than December %. With a probable at
tendance OF from 100 to 800, the com
mittee must know by that time how many
to plan for.

duce an experienced railroad man, who
will know every department of the roads

what each department Is doing, by placing
him in IL some six months and insisting
that he do real work there.

even then It is entirely optional with the
individual whether he will learn of rail-

The scheme, in short. is to give an en-

ton In the management OF a railroads

HINTS FOR BAKERS OF CAKE
Thing Always to Be Remembered Is
Never to Mix Sweet and
Sour Milk.

The woman who bakes cake should
heed these little hints:
In recipes in which milk is used as
one ingredient never mix sweet and
sour together, as that has a tendency
to make the cake heavy.
Always sift the flour, not merely be-
cause there may be dirt in 1t. but be-
cause packing Injuries its lightness
and sitting restores 1t and makes
bread and cake lighter.
Before beginning to mix cake It is
better to collect all the ingredients
which enter into 1t, otherwise one or
more of them may be omitted and
thus spoil the cake.
All cakes without yeast should have
the flour mixed in quickly just as It
goes into the oven.
An oven to bake well must have a
regular heat throughout, but particu-
larly a good heat at the bottom. with
out which a cake will not rise In bak-
Ing as in making.

PREPARATION OF ROLLED HAM
Method of Putting Up DeIicacy That
Is Favorite With Almost
Every One.

One ham, paste of flour and water.
Drowned crumbs. Wipe the ham, and
soak it in cold water overnight, then
dry 1t we'll. Turn 1t over and with
sharp-pointed knife make an incision
through the shank bone and by dint of
cutting and scraping turn the flesh
right back from the bone, no matter
where the bone Is. Keep the knife
as close to the bone as possible so as
not to cash the meat in an unsightly
manner
When all the bone is out, roll up the
ham from side to side. making it look
as much like it was at first as pos
sible, only narrower. Tie it firmly in
shape with tape. Wrap 1t in thickly
creased paper, then cover with Z stin
paste made OF flour and water. Put
the ham on baking tin in hot oven
and bake 1t for three and a half hours.
Have one heaping tablespoonful OF
dripping in the tin with which to
haste the ham frequently.
When done take off the paste and
paper. cut off piece of the shank
bone and push it into the knuekle end
to represent the leg bone. Pull on
the skin carefully, sprinkle some nice
ly Drowned crumbs over and pin a
frill around the bone. To ascertain
how long ham should be- cooked.
weigh it and allow half an hour for
