Powdered Sugar

II am interested in the Berwick sponge
cake recipe given in your Corner last fall
and don't know which kind of powdered
sugar is meant to be used. | see two kinds
are sold, the powdered sugar for fruits
and the powdered sugar for icing Ny
mother thinks it means to pound the loaf
sugar to a powder, as powdered sugar
was manufactured in 1915. The recipe
was given by e. G. D.
YOUNG HOUSEWIFE.
Your mother is right My memory runs
back to the time when loaf sugar was
pounded in a mortar, then sifted through
coarse muslin 10 get it fine enough for
cake making. Happily Tor the present
and sitting are now done by machinery.
Either of the brands you mention will
take the place OF that used in 1886
Some cooks think what is known as
''confectoners sugar. is better for cake
making than the pulverized sugar usual
ly sold by grocers. If you would know
for yourself if there be aulteration of
that you purchase mix a little in clear
water and see what happens. If the sugar
is pure the water will be clear when the
sugar is dissolved. If there be -four or
eornstarch in It the water will be cloudy.
In which case make compliant to the gro
Ger who sold it and threaten to report to
the pure food commissioner.

Among the fortunate happenings foi
the suffrage cause in many lands many
be noted:
The annual congress of Danish suf-
fragists recently held in Vejen, Jutland,
was attended by the largest number OF
delegates in the history of the move-
ment. Mr.. Appel, minister of eeelesias-
tical affairs and public instruction, was
the principal speaker. The attendance
at the final meeting numbered over 25Oo;
q great banquet followed, with covers
laid for 400 persons, to which suffrage
songs, written specially for the occasion,
contributed a piquant feature
Bulgarian suffragists scored triumph
at the last annual congress of the Ma
tional Council of Bulgarian Women at
Tirnovo, where a resolution was passed
for the first time. urging affiliated So
cieties to take up the action of the fran
chise in their constitution. This was ac-
complished chiefly through the energetic
efforts of the Ravnopravie," the newly
formed suffrage association. 1t may,
however, split the older and more con-
servative society into factions, as a COM
mittee appointed to carry out this reso-
luton led by Mms. Malinoff and Pateff.
resigned rather than assist in the ruff
frage campaign.
A congress to which German women
are looking forward with lively anticipa-
tion is the annual conference of the
liberal party, which will be held early
next month at Mannheim. Heretofore
the German liberals have only mem
toned women's claims vaguely in the
general part of their programme, but
this year they have to decide on res
olution which seeks to pledge them defi7
ntely and specifically to woman suf-
frage. 1t is regarded as quite likely that
this plank" will be adopted as one of
the means of regaining the political pres
tige which the liberals lost both to the
conservatives and social democrats al
the last election.
A sign of the growing vitality of the
French suffrage movement in the prov
inces is the successful tour just COM
pleted by Nine. Marguerite Martin of
Deux-Sevres. in Brittany. The pioneer
suffrage societies in this maritime prov
inee were then founded in Brest and
Quimper while delegates to next months
general congress in Paris will come from
Morlaix and Vannes. Another interest
ing provincial item comes from Havre,
where the ACCOMPLISHMENT council of this
famous port has just been induced by
local suffragists to pass a resolution re-
ouesting the chamber of deputies to deal
with the Buisson suffrage bill as soon
as possible.
Ex-President Eliot of Harvard univer-
sity, has given his authority to move
ment in America for equal immigration
for women 1t is the object of its pro-
tagonists to prevent a preponderance of
more than per cent of men over
women among incoming foreigners. This
law would in the first place attack the
evil of emigration at its roots, as 1t is
among foreigners who have no families
that cheap labor is introduced most not
ably to depreciate American industry,
while larger immigration of women
would, it is also claimed. guarantee moral
stamina and racial purity in much
more normal fashion than these new
citizens generally find possible.
