How to Make
Fruit Cake

Follow these hints, says the Delin-
Gator, and your cake will be good.
Homemade cake is good all the year
around.
All rich fruit-cakes ripen and i'm.
prove with keeping.
They must be wrapped carefully in
grease-proof paper and put into a tin
which has a close-fitting lid.
They should not be iced or decorat.
ed until a day or two before they are
to be used.
Large cakes, such as holiday cakes,
require a very moderate oven. Not
only so, but the oven must be kept at
a regular heat. The cake tins should
be lined at the bottom and sides-first
with brown paper, then with white pa
per.
The merit Of brown paper is that,
being largely a non-cOnductor of heat,
1t prevents the cake from being heated
too quickly in the process of firing.
In fruit cakes, the paper Innings are
not creased, because some Of the but
w, "HiNI WI llS lit VI Tic DIllclDdl
ingredients, penetrates to the outside
in the process of heating, and this is
sufficient to prevent the cake from adj
herring to the paper.
A Rich Holiday Cake-Cream one
pound Of sweet butter in a cake mixer.
then gradually add one pound of SUI
gar. When this is white in D
ance, add the well-beaten yolks of Is
eggs, a quarter of a pound of chopped
candied orange peel, one teaspoon Of
allspice, stiffly beaten whites of eggs,
two pounds Of flour, one teaspoon Of
baking powder, one pound of seeded
raisins and one pound of washed, we'll
dried %currants. Mix carefully and turn
into a large creased, papered baking
tin and bake in a moderate oven for
three hours. Take care not to slam
the oven door when looking in.
Large Fruit Cake-The quantities
given in the recipe for this cake are
sufficient to turn out a cake weighing
fully five pounds when baked.
First take n pound of butter, put.
ting it into a large basin with n
pound of sugar. Beat this mixture to
a cream with a large wooden spoon.
Some housekeepers think that the
beating may be more effectively done
by hand; in any case, the beating Of
the butter and sugar into the cream
Is a process that takes some time to
accomplish. When it is done, beat
six eggs and add a quarter of a cupful
of milk. Mix in a basin one and a
half pounds of flour with two tea
spoons of baking powder and add al
ternately to the butter a little beaten
egg and milk, then flour, and so on
until the egg and -four are used up.
Next, add half. a pound of sultana
raisins, half a pound of c%urrants, and
half a pound of glace cherries.
Put the whole mixture into a pre-.
pared cake-tin, and bake in a moderate
oven from two hours and a half to
three hours.
Old-Fashioned Pound Cake-One
pound Of flour, one pound Of sugar, one
pound Of butter, - eggs. half q tea

spoon Of powdered mace and one tea
spoon and a half of lemon extract.
Cream the butter, add sugar gradually
and continue beating until thoroughly
creamed. Beat the yolks and the
whites Of the eggs separately until
they are very light, then add the
whites to the yolks and then gradually
to the creamed butter. Sift the flour
and mace, add the lemon extract and
beat the vigorously for five minutes.
Turn into a papered tin and bake in
a slow over for one hour and a half.
Do not let the cake begin to brown
before it finishes rising.

Remember in Buvinu Meat.


The most economical rib roast of
beef is the sixth rib; the juiciest, ten
derest and highest priced roast is the
eleventh and twelfth ribs.
A standing rib roast is better than
a rolled rib roast.
POrterhouse is the most expensive
steak.
Hip-bone sirloin is the best cut Of
s%irloin; it costs no more than the
poorest cut.
A rump roast is delicious and costs
much less than a rib.
The chuck makes excellent Dot
roasts and is cheaper than the round.
Stews and beef loaves from the neck
and chuck are cheaper than from the
plate and flank.
The brisket, plate and naval r the
best for corning and boiling.
The most expensive meats are not
necessarily the most nutritious

CANCELLED BY ALLIES
Aggregate of Nearly 1900, 900
Bushels, Bought for September,

Action Puzzles the Grainmen of/Chi-
cago-Much Speculation Re-

CHICAGO, August Decentralization
yesterday by representatives of the
allies of contracts aggregating nearly
1000, 900 bushels of wheat bought for
September shipment to Europe was
puzzling to the grain trade early to-
day.
Not only were cancellations reported
by Chicago concerns, but some sea-
board exporters claimed to have closed
out open contracts. Canadian export
ers also reported some cancellations.
James A. Patten, former board of
trade operator, discussing the cancella-
tions, said:

still need wheat and she would have
the credit to get it. The cancellations
of orders, therefore, would seem to in
dictate one of two things. Either Eu-
rope has found a source of new supply,
which means Russia, Or Europe finds
that she cannot pay

1t was said that two of the largest
