FOR 0LD-FAsHloNED CAKE
Recipe That Has Not Been Improved
on Since Our GRANDMOTHER
Used to Make Il.

Fruit for this should be prepared
In advance as follows: Six cupfuls Of
currants. washed, dried and picked.
Three cupfuls sultana raisins. three
cupfuls of citron cut in fine strips, one
half cupful candied lemon peel, two
cupfuls of almonds blanched and cut
In shreds. In a warm bowl mix four
cupfuls of butter and four cupfuls Of
sugar. graduated or confectioner's,
beat these together until very light.
Break ten eggs into another bowl, do
not beat them.
Cover a waiter with a big sheet OF
paper; sift four pints of flour over
this, add the fruit and the following
spices: two teaspoonfuls each of nut
meg, mace and cinnamon, one table,
spoonful each Of cloves and allspice.
Mix these together and stand aside
ready for use. Have ready in a little
pitcher one-half pint best brandy. Sc
1ect a deep cake tin and grease with
butter, line 1t inside with white paper
and on the outside and bottom with
four or five thicknesses of very thick
WRAPPING paper which you must tie
on. Have your oven hot and the fire
banked so it will not burn out quick
ly. Now beat the butter and sugar
once more, add the eggs two at a time,
beating the mixture after each addi-
ton. When the eggs are all used, turn
in the flour and fruit with brandy, mix
thoroughly. pour into the prepared
cake tin, cover with several thickness
es Of brown paper. and bake eight
hours, keeping the oven steady and
clear.
Remove from the oven and allow
1t to stand on tin sheet until quite
cold. Ice with a thin coat of white
icing top and sides and stand in a cool
oven to dry, then give it a second coat
of thick icing and ornament according
to fancy. An icing made Of white
egg, a few drops OF cold water and
confectioner's sugar is the best for
the thick icing.

Pierre.-Two initiated measures for
guaranteeing bank deposits will come
before the South Dakota voters at the
general election of 1916. One measure
brought out under the auspices of the
state Democratic committee, was filed
Just after he close of the last legisla-
tive session. The second measure has
Just been completed by the committee
appointed by the State Bankers asso-
citation. 1t will be initiated through
and filed with the secretary of state.
Both measures will come before the
coming legislative session, but mere
ly as a legal Formally. The legislators
must pass the measures as initiated
and submit them to the voters.
In the act prepared by the bankers
committee provision is made for as
sessment of one-fcurth of / per cent.
annually, OF all deposits until the re-
serve fund equals IL per cent of tho
total deposits. Under present condi-
tons this would provide an emer2encv
account of about 5000. 900, and wou'a
call for payments of about S15O.OO0 n
year from all of the banks, unless de-
pleted by bank failures the fund would
reach the maximum in six years.
If a new bank desires to come under
The law it must pay into the fund a
sum equal to 4 per cent of it's capital
stock, which will be used as a basis
for the first year The act prepared
by the bankers committee formulates
a complete banking code. with a state
banking and finance department, in
charge Of a public examiner at a salary
of $4,000 a year and a deputy at $1,000
a year.
The guarantee measure of the Dem
ocratic committee. now or file. estab-
fishes the guarantee fund with an
assessment Of l per CEN Of the depos-
its, and subsequent assessments of 2
mills on the dollar. with provision for
special assessments in case of need.
The bankers claim the Democrat
act would establish a fund of 5000, 900
the first year. with additional annual
payments Of 1920, 900. They contend
that this burden is heavier than neces-
sary.

A Chef

That small pieces of chicken with
the merest bit of it's own liver pounded
up with some cream and a little cora
line pepper make a delicious paste to
spread on thin slices of brown bread.
Before attempting to seed raisins
cover them with hot water and let
them stand Is minutes; then the seeds
can be removed easily without any
waste.
The leftover cooked potatoes should
not be piled together. as they will sour
quickly; spread them out on a large
dish.
That a teaspoonful of curry powder
added to the cream sauce in which
macaroni is baked greatly improves
the flavor.

Movies at Training School.

Plankinton.-The boys and girls OF
the State Training school were given
a treat which all enjoyed to the limit.
A moving picture machine has been
purchased by the board Of charities
and corrections and moving pictures
will hereafter be q regular program OF
the institution once each week. This
is one of the most important things
that has been provided this institution,
in he opinion of the board. The boys
and girls have been greatly handicap
ped by a lack of the entertainment
features to which young people out
side have full access. No one who
could have witnessed the great JOY OF
every one in any way connected with
this institution could reach any other
conclusion than that the moving pic
ture machine comes as a great bless
ing. Films will be chosen that are
beneficial. Educational features,
scene of a historic nature and clean
comedy will be the weekly program.

Abecdeen.-The annual convention
Of the Farmers Cooperative associa-
ton of South Dakota adjourned after
a three-days' session at Aberdeen. The
attendance was about $50 and the nu-
merous addresses on different phases
of cooperative work attracted much
attention. Herman W. Danforth Of
Washington, ILL.,. president of a similar
organization in Illinois and president
Of the National Council Of Farmers
Cooperative associations, delivered an
address that attracted much attention,
or What the Railroads Are Trying to
Do and What the National Council Is
Doing He charged the railroads with
trying to advance. the grain rates 2
cents per 100 pounds on all grain ship
ped east. and a general blanket ad-
vance He contended the railroads
are making money sit the present rates
and are not entitled to the increase,
and stated that despite increased cost
of maintenance, and heavy expense
due to flood damages, the earnings per
mile of road were 1870 per cen great
err in 1913 than in 1890, and that there
had been a gradual increase in earn
ings each year since 1890. He also
charged that in 1913 the net earnings
of the roads were 1887 per cent great
er per mile than in 189. He claimed
that the proposed increase, if allowed,
WOULD take 500. OO0, 900 annually from
the farmers of the grain growing sec
tons of the country.
