TO MAKE GOOD CAKE
Success Depends Upon Accuracy in 7.
Measurements and Care.

Success Depends Upon Accuracy in
Measurements and Care.
Kansas City Star: One of the most
thorough recipe books gives a list of
rules for making cake, which, if they
are carefully followed, will result in
good cake nine times out of ten. Good
cake is a matter of carefulness and
precision, not of luck Have the
weights and measures exact. DO not
mix the cake until the oven is entirely
ready for il to go in Sift the flour
before measuring it. II baking pow
der or cream of tartar is used, sift it
with the flour.
Mix the cake in an earthen bow'
with a wooden spoon Beat the yolks
and whites of the egg separately.
Grease the tins with lard, as butter
bIackens. Add a quarter. OF a tea
poonful of salt to all cakes. If the
cake cracks open as il rises too much
-four has been used. If it rises in
cone in the center the oven is too hot
Beating eggs and butter makes them
light: beating -four makes it tough;
always add the -four last. In
filing the pans let the mixture be
little higher on the side than in the

The fort sustained two assaults
which, as is already known, were re-
pulsed with great slaughter, 1000
bodies having been found around the
fort after one assault.
On two occasions an envoy was sent
by the German commander who sum-
moned the garrison to surrender in
these terms: In the name of his i'm
perial majesty 1 summon you to sur
render unconditionally." "Never!"
was the reply.
On the second visit of the envoy he
complained severely of having been
fired on by Fort Genicourt and declared
after receiving the commandments re-
sponse, I'VE shall meet again, gov
ernor."
After each visit of the envoy the
bombardment resumed more furiously
than ever and at times as many as 236
shots were fired in half an hour.
An artilleryman who took part in
the defense of Maubeuge declares
that the amount of powder burned
there was even greater than at Tory
on. For nine hours at a stretch, he
states, during one day of the most
furious bombardment, the Germans
fired shells weighing 1000 pounds each
at the rate of four per minute. An ag-
gregate of 1,OSO tons of powder and
metal during the nine hours were
used upon one only of the forts around
the city.
Seoul, -(Correspondence of

ton of families that the European war
has brought about in many countries
is marked here in Korea with special
force. General sympathy is extended
to an aged German couple whose eld-
est daughter is married to French
man. The son-in-law left his wife and
five children behind to go to France
and fight under the French flag.
The second daughter is married to a
Belgian who has likewise gone to
serve his country. Two sons of the
aged couple who are living in Ger
many are fighting under the German
flag.
The war has greatly reduced the

The oven should be only moderately
hot at first, so that the cake can get
heated through and can rise before
forming a crust. The heat should
then be increased so that, when the
cake has been in the oven one-half
the time required for baking, light
crust will be formed. Moving or jar

SUGGESTS PLAN
TOFEED POOR TOTS
Laborer Would Have Men Deny
Selves Pleasure to Provide
Thanksgiving Basket.

c. W. Carter, a laboring man past
so years of age and not endowed with
much of what the world calls riches,
| but with a heart that is big, came to
| The Argus Office and told of a plan he
| has adopted and put into execution for
many years whereby he can help the
poor children of the city. He has made
it a practice for many years during
the season of Thanksgiving and Christ
mas to save each day for ten days, ten
cents that he might otherwise have
spent for some little personal comfort
that he could very well do without,
and has added this ten cents to a fund
with which to buy provisions for some
family where there are children who
are underfed or even hungry. He is
now trying to interest other men in
the city to do the same thing-to save
ten cents each day for ten days to deny
themselves something which they
really can get along without and do
as he is doing-fill basket with sub
stantial food for a family where there
are little children.
He suggests that these baskets be
left at some place the evening before
Thanksgiving that they may be dis
tributed among the needy poor.
The Associated Charities is the au-
thorized institution for the distribu-
ton of such donations and the West
End Settlement is in touch with the
poor of the city and would know where
such baskets would best be sent.
Mr.. Carter asks men of the city in
the same circumstances as himself to
adopt his plan and assist him in bring
ing joy to homes of the less FORUM
ate. He is assurance for the fact that
it brings great happiness to the giver
and repays him many times for the
small daily sacrifice. The plan IS
worth at least a trial.

me Laws Delay.-f the hrSt
judge before whom striking wait
resses were brought on charges of
disorderly conduct and conspiracy
had given them speedy trial, all this
delay might have been avoided.
The girls were either guilty of the
charges or they were not. Human
as well as property rights were in
volved. Any one of the cases could
have been tried in a day. All of us
could have found out quickly wheth-
er the girls were within the law or
not.
But several judges strung the case
along. Other arrests were made. More
bond money was exacted. More ex-
pense piled up for the mattresses.
Witnesses were brought into court
only to be sent away by a continu-
ance or transfer to another Judge.
In the meantime the pubicly-paid
police and the hired private" detec-
tives continued to forcibly picket for
Henrici's restaurant; and when the
mattresses continued to peacefully
picket they we're repeatedly arrested.
And finally the lawyers got the
thing before other judges on applica-
ton for ipjunctions. In the meantime
picketing by mattresses was stopped
by request of these judges. Which
was just what the hotel and restau-
rant trust wanted. 1t won their fight
for them. Every advantage was with
the employers. ..s
So, however honorable the inten-
tons of any of the judges may have
been, the effect of their dilatory con-
duct was more effective in helping the
employers than was the brutality of
the police pickets of the restaurant.
Why didn't the first judge promptly
try the first case?
If the girls had been found not
guilty of conspiracy or disorderly
conduct there would have been no ex-
cuse for further persecution by the

Cande,arja

The successful outcome Of efforts
that are now being made to treat the
base ores OF the Candelaria district
will be of the greatest Importance to
| to the whole State Of Nevada
George Threllfall, the English metal
lurgist, and his partner John Hig-
ginbotham, aresnow erecting an sx-
perimental plant, with 0 capacity of
rs tons daily at the old camp, in
which they will treat the product Of
the Holmes, Northern Belle, Diablo
and Lucky Hill properties, which
produced. quantities Of bullion many
years ago.
Candelaria, at one time one Of the
foremost producing camps in the
State, has been practically abandoned
and its mines have been id.e for more
than a generation until the present
operations were undertaken by Mr..
Threltall and his partner. They
have conducted exhaustive tests with
the ores of the district, and are now
satisfied that they have solved the
problem of lis successful treatment.
In the event OF their experimental
plant proving success they will pro-
coed to build plant with a capacity
of 250 tons daily, and will further
open up the old mines
1t is estimated that the properties
taken over by these men contain
from 400, 600 to 500, 900 tons of low
grade ore, available for trea ment
and which will yeiid profit by mill
ing with the process determined
upon. In the past the low grade
product of the district has detied
successful treatment owing to the
presence of refractory elements, but
it is believed that this difficulty has
been overcome and that this fact will
be demonstrated by the experiment
al plant now under construction and
which, Mr.. Threlfall believes, will be
in readiness to receive ore within
two months.
A force of 18 or 20 men is now en-
poyed at the properties and all work
is making satisfactory headway. Mr..
Threlfall has been in Goldfeid for a
brief visit, and has left for Mexico,
where he and his partners have in
terests. He expects to return to
Candelaria within a fortnight, unless
he is captured by the rebels, and
will rush the Candelaria mill to COM
pletion as soon as possible. If the
expectations Of these men are real
lied other properties in the district,
as well as throughout the State,
where there are large quantities of
low grade, refractory ore, will be
enabled to resume work on a pro-
