RODENT RUNS RIOT.

Wonder why women are frightened
by rats? That's one thing we never
could understand. We recall an ex.
exchange OF courtesies between a
man and wife one night In a restau.
rant, and the courtesles were curious
and conflicting, and were fast leading
up to the riot standard, the woman
holding her own,' and even more
than that. when a rat ran across the
room. That settled the dispute. The
woman jumped on the table, among
all the dishes, showing ankles and
lingerie that would have made a Dutch
danseuse dizzy with delirium. But the
row stopped and the laughter began,
says the New Orleans Picayune. The
latest rat story, however comes from
Brooklyn, and 1t runs like this: Dur,
ing a matinee performance at one OF
the theaters, while the house was
crowded, a rat appeared in one Of the
aisles and CONSERVATION seized the
crowd mstanter. Women jumped on
orchestra chairs, danced the highland
fling and other filings, screamed and
acted like mad, while the rat ran riot
through the rows Of seats. At one
stage Of the stampede all the women
screamed together; that put the show
ont of business. The actors lost their
lines, the women lost their reason,
and the rat lost it's life. Why are
women frightened at rats, and still
wear them in their hair?

bread crumbs or bread soaked in
sweet milk and then squeezed dry may

been obtained by feeding a bread made
of three parts of grain meal, one part
bran, one part middlings, a pinch of

food should be given either in low

not get enough to satisfy their appe.

they will exercise by scratching for

CAKE MAKING REQUIRES MUCH CARE

I The mixing and baking of cake re.
Quires considerable care and judg.
ment. To make a good cake it is es-
sential to have the best materials; to
be very careful in measuring and com.
bining them; to have the pans prop
erly prepared; to regulate the oven
heat and watch the cake while it is
baking.
The Ingredients.
Pastry four because it contains
more starch and less gluten, makes a
lighter and tenderer cake than bread
flour. 1t is not best to use coarse,
granulated sugar, as it tends to give
the cake a coarse texture and hard
crust. Use only good, sweet butter
and fresh eggs. The baking powder
should not be stale. All baking pow
ders have at least three ingredients.
First, baking soda; second, some
chemical which is capable of acting
upon baking soda, causing it to give
off carbon dioXide gas; third, starch,
which is added to keep the powder
dry. Baking powders owe their leav-
ening power to the liberation of this
carbon dioxide gas, which is set free
from baking soda by the action of
chemicals of acid nature in the pres
ence of moisture and heat.
How to Measure.
Long experience has taught some
people to measure accurately by hand
and sight but the majority need def
mite guides. 1t is a great help to
have one-half pint measuring cups
divided into quarters and thirds, and
tea and tablespoons of regulation size.
A cupful is measured level. If dry
materials are being measured, round
slightly and level with a case knife.
A tablespoonful and teaspoonful are
both measured level in the same man.
ner Flour should always be sifted at
least once before measuring.
Combining the Ingredients.
Three means of combining the in
gradients are used in the mixing of a
cake: stirring, beating and cUtting and
folding.
To stir is to mix by using a circular
motion. To beat is to turn the in
gradients over and over continually,
bringing the under part to the surface.
Cutting and folding are two motions
used to introduce one ingredient into
another. To cut is to make a vertical
downward motion. To fold is to turn
the mixture over and over, allowing
the spoon each time to come in con-
tact with the bottom of the bowl.
Ingredients are mixed by stirring.
A large amount Of air is enclosed by
beating. Ingredients are mixed and

Recipe.
l cup butter.
2 cups of sugar,
8 cups of -four.
6 teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
cup of milk.
l teaspoonful of vanilla.
Whites of eggs.
This recipe may be cheapened by
using only u cup of butter and the
whites of four eggs, if it is to be used
soon after baking.
If the butter is hard, soften by al
lowing it to stand in warm room or
by warming the mixing bowl with hot
water. Do not overhead the butter,
because it tends to become oily in
stead of creamy, and may produce
heavy streaks in the cake. Cream the
butter until it is very soft. Add the
sugar gradually and continue cream
ing and beating for some time. Long
creaming gives smooth, fine texture,
and beating gives added lightness.
The -four should have been meas.
ured into the sitter; add the milk and
flour alternately. Add the baking
powder with the last cup of -four. Mix
the ingredients by stirring. A fine
grain can be obtained only by long
beating. Cut and fold in the stiffly
beaten whites of the eggs.
Grease the pans. Dredge with
-four; then invert to remove the super.
fuous flour. This gives the cake a
smooth surface, especially desirable if
the cake is to be frosted. Pans may
be lined with paper, then creased.
In filling the pans have the mixture
come well up to the sides and corners,
leaving a slight depression in the cen.
ter so that the cake may be perfectly
fiat on top when baked.
The Baking.
Put a layer of cake into a three
minute oven; that is, one that will
brown a small piece OF brown paper in
three minutes. Bake twenty-five min
utes.
Cakes, with the exception, perhaps,
of pound cake, are thoroughly baked
when they shrink from the pan and
settle to a level. All cakes are well
done when they make only slight
singing noise or when the surface re-
bounds at once on being pressed with
the finger.

Just Homes.

A gentleman never snatches his
trousers away from his wife when he
discovers her going through his pock-
cts. He only hopes she will leave him
enough with which to go downtown in
the morning. He is perfectly welcome
to go through her purse any time and
help himself to anything he can find.
That is what married life means. A
man should not allow his feelings to
be hurt when his wife runs across
loose change or a roll in his pockets;
he ought to play the game and take
such little conjugal pastimes for
granted.

NEWLY HATCHED CHICKS
IN NEED OF CONSTANT CARE
Both Brooders and Hens Are Used BY Poultry Rasers-
Youngsters Should Be Kept Warm-Food
and Water important

Whether chicks are hatched by hens
or incubators, they may be success
fully reared by hens. In incubator
hatched, two or three may be placed
in a brooding hens nest at night and
the following morning many more may
be given her Many people, in order
to raise all incubator chicks by hens,
set several hens at the same time that
eggs are placed in the incubator. The
hen with the chicks should be kept in
coop that is dry, rat proof and well
ventilated For the first few days,
both the hen and chicks should be
kept in a closed coop. After a few
days, at the door end of the closed
coop, an open coop, made Of lath
frame covered with wire, should be
set, so the hen may have more room
for exercise and the chicks may roam
at a distance from the hen. II is not
advisable to allow the hen free range
for at least two weeks. If she is kept
in a coop and fed coarse grain she will
soon begin to lay and yet protect the
chicks at night.
