ut Is well settled that where the Ian

resort may be had to the surrounding
circumstances, the history of the times
and the defect or mischief which the
statute was intended to- remedy.

Again, another guide to the meaning
of a statute is found in the evil which
it Is designed to remedy; and for this
the court properly looks at contempo-

existed. and as u swas pressed upon
the attention sof the legislative body.

as bearing upon this question the court
might look to the situation as 1t existed

framed the provision.
I was consulted at the time and hap

of The Washington Times. who wrote
that provision inserted it for the pur-
pose of affording the saloon keepers
reasonable time within which to dis

them an opportunity to adjust their

COUNT DETERMINES
TO ARRANGE MATTER
Stephen Tisza, Backed BY
Hungarian Government,
Takes Charge of Croatia.

VIENNA, Sept, 27-Good news
comes from the eastern half of the
empire of Francis Joseph and 1t is the
more welcome as news from that I'M
ruIy corner of Europe Is generally
OF an alarming character. The Hun
Stephen Tisza is determined to ar
range conditions in Croatia.
To be able to judge the importance
of this news it is necessary to be
afmiliar with the history of Croatia
during the last few years. Since an
arrangement was made with Hungay
A5 years ago Croatia has been a
country with all the attributes of a
state, without really being an indie
pendent state. 1t has been fighting
necessarily for it's rights of which
Hungary has tried to rob it by one of
the most INSCRIPTIONS means. Under
the rule of Baron Rauch and Count
Khuen-Hedervary, the province first
saw period of violence and corrup-
ton. Then followed a time of cruel
OPPRESSION and absolution under the
commissionership of Edward Cuvaj.
At first the rulers undertook to Gre
ate hatred between the Serbs and the
Croathians, but at last the Serbs dis
covered the ruse and the two races
clasped hands through an unscroup-
ulous government tried to coecre them
by thenotorious trial for high treason,
but without success and since then
Serbs and Creations have struggled
together against Hungarian oppre-s
sion and number of attempts against
the lives of the representatives Of
the Hungarian government followed.
Now Hungary under pressure from
the foreign department has decided to
hold out the olive branch. Curvaj has
been relieved by the popular Baron
Won .Skerlecz and in few months the
Croatian parliment will be convoked
How long peace will last is diff
cult to say, but but one thing is sure
If the new politics of the government
is followed by a similar policy in
Krain, Istria, Dalmatia, Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Francis Joseph will
strengthen the southern boundary of
his empire and leave it in a less
chaotic state to his successor, who
may then be able to do, what was
hitherto considered impossible-hold

Telephone Girls
Assist Merchant

PARIS, Sept, 27.-The French tele-
phone authorities have opened an in
quiry which is believed will reveal a
grave case of corrupt business al
lance between number of Paris tele-
phone girls and certain merchants.
1t is stated that for more than a
year past five or more girls have been
in the pay of a merchant, whose bus
mess they facilitated to the prejudice
of his competitors or giving him COM
munication Immediately, while his
competitors were repeatedly told that
the number they asked for were en-
gagged.
This dealer is also alleged to have
been permitted, by the help of the &C
cused girls, to overhear the telephone
communications of rival firms, and as
he did great deal of speculation this
cooperation of the telephone girls
was of immense service to him.

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 dssolving
gluten. If bread -four is used for cake, one
must use at least onc-third more moisture
than is called for by the recipe, for all
cake recipes are written for pastry flour.
A great deal of the uncertainty of ca!.c
baking is eliminated BY using double
raise baking powder such as X c. The
batter need not be hurried into the oven
nor need one be careful about slammina
the oven door, CT Earring the stove. X c
is really a blend of two baking powders,
one OF winch commences to raise as soon
as moisture is added; the o,hcr is inactive
until heat is applied, SO that the raising is
sustained against all danger of falling unit
the cake is baked
Cane sugaris 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 granulatcd cane
sugar, then as the next best thing, buy bar
sugar. This is very fine and easily creamed.

Measure Eucruthino

It will save time and many steps If YOU
will get everything required by the recipe
Everything should be measured correctly.
If the recipe calls for sifted flour, silt it
once before measuring. Measure flour by
filling the cup with spoon. If you dip
the cup into the flour, 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 flour and baking
powder together three times in order to get
them thoroughly mixed, SO that the cake
will raise evenly; also to loosen up the flour.

Baking

One of the most important things about
baking cakes is to have moderate oven
ut 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 very low flame 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
lover 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, replenish 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.

Mixinq

The flour and baking powder having
been measured and sfted, 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
