Paul Thurman, elephant trainer for
Ringing Brothers circus, died at
Chicago, where his funeral took place.
Paul brought Polo, Wellington, Ma
poleon and Bismark, the wonderful
herd of trained elephants, to America
with him four years ago. He slept in
their quarters, he talked to them as 10
his fellows, and they understood and
sympathized with his moods.
When they came to their rehea rsal
after their masters death, new voice
commanded. They gave no heed.
They were led to an adjoining tent
where lay the form that meant COM
partnership to them.
Bismark, the oldest and the leader,
passed his trunk along the trainers
body; there were no peanuts or sugar
Jumps. The trunk stopped at the cold
face; then it was snapped away.
The elephant drew back. He rubbed
his great head, on the heads CT the
rest of the herd and all swayed to and
fro in solemn silence for few min
utes; they then went out. They under
stood.
All afternoon they refused food, and
they went through their entertain
ment the last night of their stay in a
dazed, grieving fashion.
The elephants did not follow their
trainers body to the tomb, On the
day of the funeral they were far away
in Cedarsburg, w. Va.-Evening
Wisconsin.

The Right Materials

Bear in mind that the best materials
make the best food.
A soft Winter wheat pastry flour is as
necessary for cakes as for biscuits In fact,
it should always be used with baking
powder, as it absorbs moisture more
readily than hard Spring wheat bread
flour, which contains much slow dissolving
gluten. If bread -four is used for cake, one
must use at least one-third more moisture
than is called for by the recipe, for all
cake recipes are written for pastry -four
A great deal of the uncertainty of cake
baking is eliminated by using a double
raise baking powder such as X G. The
batter need not be hurried into the oven,
nor need one be careful about slamming
the oven door, or Earring the stove. X G
is really a blend Of two baking powders,
one of which commences to raise as soon
as moisture is added; the other is inactive
until heat is applied, so that the raising is
sustained against all danger of falling until
the cake is baked.
Cane sugar is always to be preferred for
cakes, because beet sugar is hard to dis
solve and is likely to sink to the bottom
or stick around the edges of the pan,
making an imperfect cake.
If impossible to get granulated cane
sugar, then as the next best thing, buy bar
sugar. This is very fine and easily creamed.

Reflections on an Old Burr Oak Tree.
Atthe corner of East and Fifth
streets Jason Squires has brought
down an old burr oak tree. It has
been long time since some secretive
squirrel dug away the earth on an
October afternoon and hid away the
nut which was destined to an old oak
grow. Since the days when the tee
spread its branches to the wind many
a Sac or Fox or Winnebago may
have held councils there, for aught we
know
But the first purpose of the tree was
not to furnish shelter for an Indian
band or to provide blazing hearth for
jason Squires when winter comes
again. In the scheme Of nature why
did the tree grow? To reproduce an
other tree. OF the thousands and
thousands of acorns which have drop
ped from the involucres of the grand
old oak, but one has become a tree.
That is the average in nature. If
this were not so, oak trees would in
crease and in time dominate the earth.
There are no more oaks now than cen
turtles ago, and in the struggle they may
not be even holding their own. Birds,
b ses and beasts keep a comparative
natural balance. Such is the law of
nature.
Then again the tree gives up its life
that church may be built. In time
the church must give way, also Just
as other races and other oaks have
lived before so other trees and other
people may come after, who knows.

"PLAY BALL. !"

Why is baseball?
Millions go to it. Other millions
read and talk about it. Since time
began no sport was so popular. Why
is baseball?
For one thing, it is clean.
No foul language. No gambling,
no betting booths. Nothing about it
to shame a woman or make a fellow
ashamed CT himself when he goes
home to think it over. From bleachers
to players bench, degrading things
are barred.
Then, too, it is stirring.
No Ioafing. No soldering. Nc
hanging back until the farewell whis-
tie blows. But everybody, alert, in.
tent, roofing or working as if the next
minute held the fate of the world. A
kind of work that calls for the best
that is in a chap-the fittest physical
trim; the quickest, surest thinking. In
many q place the bone-head gets by,
but not on the diamond. There the
one thing that counts is efficiency.
Reputation, pull will not save a fell
low unless he delivers the goods. 1t
is case of the last ounce every
minute of the game.
Finally, it is democratic.
No artificial distinction. No upper
and lower crusts. But bIeachers and
boxes in one big brotherhood blent,
for the moment leveled by common
interest to the unifying spirit of a
common humanity.
Democracy is the greatest thing
there is, and the democracy of sport is
one of its finest expressions.
So do not make an excuse when you
go to the ball game. Be proud of it.
Be mighty glad that there is a ball
game to go to.
And, do not let the professionals
have a monopoly of the playing. Get
a ball and bat and bunch of young
sters and go to it yourself.-Madison

Baking

One Of the most important things about
baking cakes is to have a moderate oven
at the start; in fact, in using a gas, oil or
gasoline stove, it is not necessary to light
the stove until the cake has been put in.
Then there should be a very low fame at
first. After the cake has doubled in bulk,
increase the heat and bake until brown
crust is formed and the center will respond
to the touch. Never allow crust to form
over cake before the batter has doubled.
In wood or coal range, have very light
fire in the fire box After the cake is in the
oven, repIenish the fire and by the time it
has burned up the batter will have
doubled and is ready for the hot oven to
finish it. 1t is impossible to specify the
length of time to bake cakes, for the larger
and thicker the layer, the longer it takes
to bake.

Measure E0eruthing

1t will save time and many steps if you
will get everything required by the recipe
on your mixing table before starting.
Everything should be measured correctly.
If the recipe calls for sifted -four, sift it
once before measuring. Measure -four by
filling the cup with a spoon. If you dip
the cup into the -four, it will pack and there
is danger of over measuring. Measure the
baking powder carefully, using level,
rounding or heaping teaspoonfuls, accord
ing to the recipe. Sift the -four and baking
powder together three times in order to get
them thoroughly mixed, so that the cake

There is a host of pills, powders,
tablets and what-not for rheumatism,
but they all lack the first essential to
being a natural medicine. To begin
with, rheumatism is simply a name
given to designate a variety of pains,
and can only be reached by irri-
eating the entire blood supply with a.
naturally assimilative antidote. True,
the pains may be eased with mar
cotics or the acids may be neutralized
for the time being. But such methods
merely tempOrize and do not even lead
to a cure. There is but one standard
rheumatism remedy, and is sold in all
drug stores under the name of S. S. S.
1t contains only pure vegetable
elements and is absolutely free of mer-
curry, iodide of potash or arsenic, and
has proved a wonder for every form
Of rheumatism.
The recoveries of all types of rheu-
matism by the use of S. S. S. is a fine
tribute to the natural efficacy of this
remarkable medicine, for it is assimi-
lated just as naturally, just as specifi-
caIly, and il IS well ordained as the
most acceptable, most palatable and
most readily digested food. Do not
fail to get a bottle of S. S. S. to-day.

MIXING

The -four and baking powder having
been measured and sifted, measure out the
sugar and butter and cream together. If
the butter is cold and firm, warm the
sugar slightly in the oven. After Dreaming
the butter and sugar, separate the yolks
from the whites of the eggs and with a
rotary egg beater, cream the yolks until
light lemon colored and very creamy. Add
this to the butter and sugar, and blend
all together Now add little of the water
or milk and stir it in thoroughly; then a
little flour, stirring it in thoroughly; then
more moisture and more flour alternately,
stirring each time until all the -four and
moisture are in the batter, when it should

be beaten until smooth and glossy. If the
whites of the eggs are to be used, beat these
with q fiat or spoonwhip until theyare stiff
enough to stand up, putting them in last.
A little salt added to the whites of eggs
helps in the beating. If yolks of eggs are
not used, add the moisture and flour
alternately to creamed butter and sugar
land add the whites last Where much more
sugar than butter is used, as in Orange
Cake, half of the sugar may be beaten into
the yolks of the eggs.
