AS TO MAKING CAKES
EXPERT ADVICE FROM pEpAR1@
MENT OF AGRICULTURE.
Cases Where Rendered Beef Or Veal
Fat May Be Substituted for But =
Notwithstanding Variety Into
the CONNECTIONS.

There are, generally speaking, only
two kinds OF cake made by the Ameri~
can housewife; namely, sponge cakes
and butter cakes. The former never
have butter in them and are frequentt
ly raised entirely by means of eggs
The eggs usually provide the only
moisture used. but when eggs are ex-
pensive, economy sometimes demands
that water be added and baking pow
der used. In the latter kind, butter
is generally used on account OF III
flavor. Its effect on dough Is to make
1t tender and brittle instead OF tough
and elastic. .t.
Sponge cakes are mixed differently
from butter cakes and should bd
baked in cooler oven and abous
one and one-fourth times as long,
The tests and rules for baking arc
the same for sponge cakes and butter
cakes.
Gingerbread and other highly spiced
cakes may be classed as Out"
ter cakes" but for economy's sake
pure rendered beef or veal fat may
be substituted for butter as the flavor
OF the fat will not be SO evident az IN
other kinds OF cake. I'D I.
A cooky also comes under the
class of butter cakes" any buttert
cake recipe being applicable to cookies
II only one.third to one-half tha
amount OF milk called for Is USED.
The dough should be rolled out on q
Toured board. Cookies should bake
in a slow oven for 8 to 10 MIMI IS.
Much variety can be made In cakes
by introducing fruits. nuts, spices OF
different f1avoring extracts into tho
dough, or by using only the whites OF
eggs for white cakes, or larger num-
Der OF yolks than whites for yellow
cakes. Brown sugar may be used for
dark fruit cake. n
Pastry -four will make lighter and
more tender cake than standard Hour
If standard flour Is used take two
tablespoonful less for each cupfuA
measured. In making cake only hne
granulated or powdered sugar should
be used as a rule One the best OF
these materials in any case should
be employed.
In preparing the pans for cake they
should be creased we'll with butter O!

THE BIBLES MORAL INFLUENCE,

THE BIBLES MORAL INFLUENCE.
By ROBERT STUART MACARTHUR,
D. D.. XII. D.. President Baptist World
Alliance.)
I commend the study OF the Bible
because IT places before US the high
est standard of moral living to be
found in literature. IN It are hid all
the treasures Of wisdom and knowL
edge.
When Sir Walter Scott lay dying, he
asked his son-in-law, Mr.. Lockhart, ia
read for him. What book?" said Mr.
Lockhart. What book" said Sir
Walter; there is but one book-the
Bible-read that" He who had read
SO widely, and had contributed SO
many immortal pages to literature
gave this testimony to the value Of
the book.
Charles Dickens was in the habit OF
urging his children never to neglect
the reading Of the Bible, as it con.
tanned the highest rules Of morality
known among men.
The Bible Is the true friend Of civil
and religious liberty. Where 1t Is prac
tically unknown there religious liberty
Is virtually unknown. 1t condemns
all oppression and inspires all worthy
national and personal character. 1t
sweetens all domestic life, and is the
SAVIOR Of life in all social relations. 1t
glorifles marriage, beauties home,
and prophesies Of heaven. 1t trans
forms a house into a home; 1t makes
earth the foretaste of paradise. 1t
makes the wilderness of social life
glad and it makes the desert OF earth
blossom into the garden of God.
Let us love this blessed book, that
1t may fully control our daily lives for
the good of man and the glory OF God.
Most OF all, let all men believe In the
divine Lord and Savior who Is In the
fullest sense the divine Word, whom
this book makes known. Then, under
the influence of this highest Word OF
God,
Shall all mems good
Be each mans rule, and universal
peace
Lie like a shaft of light across the
land,
And like lane of beams athwart the
sea,
Thro' all the circle Of the golden year
