BAKING FAvoRITE CAKES.

Paper bag cooking betters cakes as
much as it does meat or pastry. Please
to keep this fact in mind. Also the
fact that you should never try to make
cakes at haphazard. Instead, take a
day or several days off from bridge
and shopping and give your whole
mind to the matter in hand. Decide
first what cakes you care to make.
then reckon up what you will need
to make them of. Many good cake
has been saddened past all remedy
through waiting at the wrong minute
for some essential Ingredient, over
looked. in the general buying.
Never melt butter unless melted but.
tor is specifically called for in your
receipt. Set the butter crock outside
the refrigerator for several hours be-
fore you need it's cOntentS-the
kitchen temperature will make the but
ter just right for dreaming. Keep
! eggs ccol-they beat light the quicker
for it. Always add q tiny pinch OF
salt to the whites in beginning to
froth them--it makes the froth1ng
I easier and improves the taste. Eggs,
it is needless to say, must be above
suspicion. Sift flour and set it where
| it will get. warm and dry without
scorching, then sift it again before
| using it. Measure it after the second
sitting, and if baking powder or soda
and cream tartar are to be put in 1t,
add them to the measured bulk, and
sift third time.
! Cake must be beaten we'll, and thor
oughly, if you want it firm, yet light,
and of fine, close texture. Sweet milk
or cream, contrarywise, tends to a
coarse, bubbly grain.
Prepare fruit over night, If possible.
| Two such f1avors as lemon and va
nilla, vanilla and rose-Water, or rose
water and almond, give to cake tang
as delicious as it Is unusual. A spoon
full of brandy or even good corn
whiskey, beaten we'll through the cake
just before the flavoring-which
should be put in the very last thing
will make the cake lighter, better COL
ored, and of better keeping quality.
Sift spices through part of the -four
adding the spiced -four alternately
with what Is left plain. Always sift
sugar, and more than once if it Is
clammy Warming it gently helps ia
make light cake. 1t should be sifted
afresh after the warming.
AS l have said, paper bag cooking
betters cake as much as it does meat
or pastry It can be done in the bags.
but l advise using in conjunction with
the bags either paper souffle-cases or
very thin tin moulds, square, oblong,
or round, or cases made from the bags
themselves.
Paper bag baking is little quicker,
and ever so much more certain
Small patty pans, or fancy-shaped
muffin moulds, filled with cake batter
and baked inside bags, will afford an
almost infinite variety of ornamented
good things.

Japanese Lanterns.

An inexpensive. novel and pretty
way of making lamp shades. especial
ly for the Summer cottages, is to uti-

are the rather large, ovalshaped ones

half another. The upper part to the
desired depth is cut off, guided by the
small bamboo bands which stiffen and

the top, which is finished by a black
wooden band, the wire hanger is re-
moved and in place of it one of two
or three supports substituted. One
consists of three wires, equidistant
around the top, and bent so as to
hang over the top of the lamp chin

John Wetzel. The deputy took the stock

Laue, owner of the property, having
started legal proceedings this morning.
Wetzers disappearance from the 14th
street house Tuesday was unexplained
until this morning, when a health in
spector and the police went to the store
to make an investigation. Mr.. Laue told
the officials that he saw furniture taken
from the house Monday afternoon. but he
paid no attention to 1t. He had heard
that a room was to be fitted for the
cashier in the store. he stated. and he
supposed new furniture was coming to
take the place Of the old.
Tuesday morning the little store was
not opened, and patrons made inquiries
about the proprietor. The owner of the
building thought Wetzei had failed to
get up, but when he went to the rear
porch to cab him he saw that the rooms
had been vacated.

added for himself: Not true" Especially
did he object to the statement that there
is no public sentiment for such bill.
The demand is shown by the action of
life insurance companies which are in
terested in prolonging life, by the actions
of associations OF persons interested in
healing and curing disease. by the action
of the political parties. both republican
and democratic, by clauses in their plat
forms.
Explaining that ii will be impossible
for him to be in the Senate chamber all
the time during the remainder of the ses-
sion, Mr.. owen asked unanimous con-
sent to postpone action on the bill until
the first day of the next session. To that
an objection was made by Senator Smoot
who has introduced bill to enlarge the
scope of the activities of the present pub

SENATOR OWEN .REFUTES
CHARGES AGAINST BILL
Denies Public Health Service Meas
ure Abridges Right to Choose
Practitioner.

mot true was the reply which Sena-
tor Owen OF Oklahoma made to charges
against his bill for the establishment of
public health service in petitions sign
ed by people Of Oklahoma and presented
to the Senate yesterday afternoon by
Senator Culberson of Texas. Senator
Owen waxed warm in defense of the bill
against which the protests were directed
The Titanic disaste was a terrible
thing" he remarked. But the LOO
lives which were lost in it only equals
the daily lose In the United States of
human life by preventable illness.
These lives could be saved by intelii-
gent administration. by being as care
full with human beings as the government
is to protect swine against diseases"
A smile went around the Senate cham
that the protests came from the state
represented by the bills author. Senator
Owen picked up one of the protests from
the top Of the pile.
Option Expressly Provided.
These petitions are based on the
principle that one school Of medicine will
dominate the public health service and
that its establishment will abridge the
right of person to choose the practi-
toner he wants to treat him. Mr.. Owen
remarked.
THAT is not true The bill expressly
provides that the service shall not inter-
fere with a person in his choice of a
practitioner nor with practitioner in
adopting the method of curing or healing
he wants.
He read one charge against the bill

The Single-Button Cutaway.
In every coat there is weIl-defned
