three years ago that Mr.. Huntley Walker left
the Casino 100000 richer after playing according

But iE spite of all these huge sums which have

as a witty proverb invented in the days of NJ

LEAVING MUCH TO CHANCE
Not Very Specific as to Portions
to Be Mixed.

The modern housewife, who appor-
lions her foods and mixes cakes and
cookery recipes with mathematical
precision, can find nothing more
amusing than some of the vague d.
rections by which the old-fashioned
cook of several generations ago pre-
pared foods. These random sentences,
taken from a little cook book that be-
longed to the great-grandmother of a
Baltimore girl, suggest pointed ex-
amples:
Take whatever quantity of rice
you think proper, according to the
size of your family; boil it. in good
broth and some lard; when cool mix
it with as much flour as rice, a good
deal of butter, some eggs to hold 1t
together, and make a puff paste of it.
Form into hot cakes of whatever
shape and bigness you please. and
bake.
If your fire is not very quick and
clear when the poultry is laid down to
roast, 1t will not eat near so sweet or
look so beautiful to the eye.

fire, your meat will be done sooner

BATTER FOR LITTLE CAKES
Really the Best Of All Forms Of This
Preparation for Homemade
Delicacles.

The following recipe for cake bat

little cakes: Cream half cupful OF
butter with cupful Of sugar Add
the yolks of two eggs and beat. Gradu-
ally add half cupful of flour, sifted
with two level teaspoonfuls of baking
powder. Lastly add the beaten whites
of the eggs.
When the batter is mixed divide It
into four parts To one part add
chopped nut meats, to another dash
each Of cinnamon, grated nutmeg and
allspice, to another orange extract and
half teaspoonful of grated orange
rind and to the fourth part half a tea
spoonful of vanilla.
When the cakes are baked, cut
and cool frost them. Prepare stiff
icing Of the whites of raw eggs beat
en- stiff and confectioners' sugar. Beat
the icing until it is creamy and
smooth. Flavor it with little vanilla
and frost the nut cakes and the spice
cakes. In the center of each nut cake
place nut meat or a candied cherry.
Place small strips of citron on the
spice cakes, in designs if desired. To
some of the white frosting add beat
en- egg yolk and drop. or two of
orange extract, with little more
sugar, and with this frost the orange
cakes. A little candied orange peel
can be used to decorate these cakes.
Melt grated chocolate with confec-
TONERS sugar, beat it carefully into
the remaining white frosting and ice
the plain cakes.

NEEDS SOME PLANNING
BUT TO THOSE FOND OF sHAD,
COOKING is WORTH WHILE.
Properly Prepared, It May Be Made
to Serve Several Meals-Planked
Probably Is the Best Of
All Ways.

This is the season for shad. II
popular vote were taken as to which
is our most delicious fish, probably,
shad would come out far in the lead.
But the housewife who caters for a
small family is inclined to regard
early shad as a pretty expensive lux
ury.
1t does, in fact. call for some clever
planning, but fine roe shad can be
made to serve for several meals and
at the same time satisfy the most
critical appetite. This is made pos
sible by first having the shad split,
using one-half for baking, the other
half (the bone side) for broiling The
roe can be served at still another
meal in any one of number of ways.
The famous way of cooking shad is
planking it, method that has been
handed down to us by fishermen, who
utilized driftwood instead of pan,
They baked the fish on the wood, and
the fumes of the cedar or hickory
favored the fish so deliciously that
this makeshift custom has been
adopted by epicures all over the
world.
Planked Fish.-Planked fish should
be baked on a board of cedar. hick-
DRY, oak or ash. Place the board in
the oven until very hot. Now paint
the board with butter or olive oil,
place shad on it, season with salt and
pepper. If fish has been split place
skin side downward on board, brush
with butter or olive oil, and dust with
salt and pepper, Baste often and
bake until golden brown. This takes
from 20 to 80 minutes. according to
thickness of fish. Serve with parsley,
lemon, sliced pickles or maitre d'hotel
butter.
Maitre d'Hotel Butter-This is
made by working one-fourth cup but
ter till creamy, then add one-half tea
spoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pep
per, one-half teaspoon chopped pars-
ley, then one tablespoon lemon Juice
and one tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce. This may be served hot or
cold as desired.
Baked Shad.-Remove scales and
insides, wash both inside and outside,
and wipe dry with a cloth. Rub both
sides with salt and pepper, Grease
the bottom of a roasting pan with
butter or olive oil. This prevents the
shad from sticking Paint the top of
fish with olive oil or pieces. of butter.
Place In a hot oven for ten minutes,
Now take pan out of oven for
minute and cover the fish with the
following mixture; Three-quarters Of
can of tomatoes, one green pepper
Esd two cnions chopped fine, one ta-
blespoon of sugar, one teaspoon of
salt, one-half teaspoon of pepper
Bake for rs minutes. basting occa-
sionally, Serve on a platter garnish-
ed with parsley or water cress.
Broiled Shad.-Remove scales,
split and wash Wipe fish dry, Grease
the broiler well with oil or butter
place shad with the skin side down
ward on broiler. Now have a good
hot fire, hold shad' near the flame so
as to scar over the outer surface at
first, in order to keep the juices in,
then move 1t little farther from the
flame, and cook for twenty minutes.
Melt three teaspoons of butter, add
one teaspoon of salt, one-half tea
spoon of pepper, mix, Place shad on
hot platter and pour sauce over It.

the Columbus Ledger says, and Mr.
Hendry had but little trouble in dis
posing of them.
In reply to the question as to how
he had managed to keep his potatoes
until this time of year, Mr.. Hendry
told reporter of the Ledger that
during the month of last November
he plowed up his potatoes and then
bedded them in banks of from tif-
teen to twenty bushels each and COW
cred them with straw in the usual
manner, and took especial care 10
see that water did not reach them.
In tearing up the banks few
days ago, preparing to ship the po-
tatoes, Mr.. Hendry stated that there
were twenty banks and that all to-
gether. he did not find more than
ten bushels of potatoes that were
spoiled. He thought that he had
had the best success the past win
ter in keeping his potatoes than he
has ever had.
