To MAKE GOOD CAKE
Some RULES THAT SIMPLY MUST
BE OBSERVED.
p oper Temperature of Oven One OF
the Most important Points-Dif-
ferent CONNECTIONS Require
Varying Degrees Of Heat

First attention should be given TO
the oven, making sure that the fire is
not too hot, and will remain even I'M
til the baking is done. Unless you
have control of your fire do not at
tempt to bake cake.
Loaf cake requires less heat than
thin cakes. If the oven is too hot at
first or is suddenly cooled while the
cake is baking the cake will be heavy.
Loaf cake should bake as long again
as thin cake Divide the time of bak-
ing into quarters. The first quarter
should show a rising, with the edges
higher than the center; the second a
continued even rising, with slight
brown tint; the third a deeper brown,
and the last a shrinking and settling.
If your cake rises and cracks in the
center you are using too much -four;
when it browns before rising, the oven
is too hot.
How to Put Butter Cake Mixture
Together-Cream the butter with
hand or a large spoon, add sugar and
cream again until very light. When
the proportion of butter is small it
may be put in with the eggs and
sugar Beat the yolks until light vel
low, add to butter and sugar and beat
again. Add flavoring and then lit
tie milk, then a little flour, little
milk again, and so on until the milk
and flour are all used, and beat Wig
orously until your mixture is smooth.
Add lastly the beaten whites. Fruit
should be added last, and fruit cake
mixtures should be little sitter with
-four.
Sponge Cake Mixtures-Beat the
yoIks until they are light yellow and
creamy and slowly beat in the sugar.
Add f1avoring and liquid and beat
again Beat the whites until stiff and
fold it without beating. Add -four
lastly with as little stirring as pos
sible, as it makes the cake tough. AL
ways follow these directions and cake
failures will never be known.

Fashion is tickle in table service as

AUTO FIRE APPARATUS

The proposal to install a complete system of automobile fire apparatus in Hot Springs, in lieu of the horse teams. is a laudable one, and one that wall no doubt meet with all the favor the finances of the city will permit. It is but natural to anticipate that the expense of keeping up a few gasoline engines would be much less than the expense of keeping up horses, and especially in the instance ss ss sa fire department, where horses must be fed regardless of how much they work, while autos cost nothins standing still.
 Neither is there doubt or dispute but that the installation of the i'm proved service will lessen the fire loss in this city because as one aid erman well said: '@The first few minutes at the fire fighting is more effective than the following hal hour. l" The automobile trucks vii get to the scene of tbe fire mucl quicker. HI.
 The auto service, properly installe will cost the city about $35.000. Ina is lots of money to city that ha no funds. It is lots of money t q city in need of as many small i'm provements as Hot Springs stands il need of. htAHl
 We have a good fire departmen now. In fact We have the best il Arkansas. and one that will compare favorably with any in the south. Tn, suggestion that insurance rates vii reduce 10 to 20 per cent If the aut service is installed. is doubted. The rates are too high now. and the in surance companies are not likely tt make amy special concessions. I the insurance companies based tlher rates on the fire protection offered the rates now would be cheaper thal they are. And if the insurance com panies do not base their rates on tn, fire protection offered. why woul auto service decrease the rates 10 tt 20 per cent?

sheets and rolled them on his arm or

Whenever the yeomen touched the bed

been made. with much quaint but in

Willina to Be Martyrs

Some years ago d French tradesman
stated that he wished to be guillotined
instead of murderer who had been
condemned to death. Of course the
authorities declined to do as he wished,
and he went away vowing that he
would give his life for some one else
later on.
A Russian peasant who was noted
for his quiet piety offered to be shot in
order to save revolutionary who was
awaiting the carrying out Of the death
penalty. This. be said, was not done
out of any sympathy for the accused,
but merely to show his disapproval of
the principle Of taking lives of Grim
inals.
Probably the most extraordinary case
on record was that of Quebec citizen
who passed himself off as a murderer
for whom the police were searching.
When the matter was investigated it
was found that the self accused man
had nothing whatever to do with the
crime. No" he said. you're right.
I'm not the murderer, but my wife
leads me such miserable life at home
