MAKES A GOOD, PLAIN CAKE
pelicacy That May Be Baked In a
Great Number Of Ways, as
One May Desire.

remember reading an article many
years ago in which cake was designat
ed as the rose of cookery" the term
seemed to suit the dainty process OF
combining all the delicate ingredients
that 60 TO the making of a toothsome,
dainty, beautiful, fragrant cake so well
that l have always remembered 1t, re-
marks a writer in the Pittsburgh DIS
patch.
Here is a very good rule for plain,
though excellent cake. 1t may be
baked in all sorts Of ways, as you will
see:
One generous tablespoonful of but
ter, one cupful of sugar, one and a
half cupfuls of flour, half cupful OF
milk, two eggs, a pinch of salt and a
level teaspoonful of baking powder.
Stir the butter, sugar and eggs to-
gether, beating them hard. Then add
the -four, in which the baking powder
has been mixed and sifted twice.
Add the milk by degrees, beat thor
oughly and bake in moderate oven.
I have not mentioned the flaVoring,
because there is where the variety
comes in. Flavored with vanilla, rose
or lemon extract and baked in loaf
and iced, this is very nice cake for
ordinary purposes. Or it may be baked
as a layer cake, with chocolate, car
amel, lemon, jelly or other filling be-
tween the layers.
Often l bake it in four very thin
layers and put it together with very
tart jelly. making a real old-fashioned
jelly cake.
By leaving out tablespoonful of
flour and adding grated chocolate, a
very nice chocolate cake results, and
this may be baked in layers and put
together with a, chocolate filling; q
very good imitation of the more ex-
pensive devils food. Grated cocoanut
or chopped nut meats will make a
pleasant addition, or raisins, currants
and spices will give you a delicious
brown loaf of simple fruit cake.
Orange peel grated into the batter
makes a very nice flavor; then [
would advise icing the top with an
orange icing, but do not put any of
the juice in the cake for it will kill
the effects of the baking powder.
This same recipe may be baked in
gem pans and served hot for luncheon,
or the little cakes may be iced and
set away for Sunday night supper.
A portion of the batter might be
favored with chocolate for variety
and the chocolate cakes covered with
| chocolate. icing.

Fly Time

Here is a set of rules which, if
strictly observed, will add greatly
to the comfort, to say nothing else.
of the fa,nily and neighborhood:
Do not allow flies in your house:
if a fly gets inside, do not "shoo"
it out. but use the swatter vlgoT-
ously and finish his career Don t
permit them near your food, es-
pecially the milk. Don't buy food
stuffs where flies are 1T liberty to
crawl over them, and don't allow
flies to have access to the dining
room. DO not patronize grocery
stores, markets, restaurants that
harbor and feed flies Insist on
having screens. Don't buy, or
allow your children to buy, the
kind Of foods or fruit that are
served from sidewalk stands where
they are exposed to street dust and
flies.
Have screens to all doors and
other openings 10 keep OUT tne llies
and teach your children to know
what they are for. 1t is not what
they will take away, but what they
will bring in, that y on are to fear.
Not every fly that comes in may
be carrying fifth and diseas germs:
but the majority Of them are, and
the rest are open to suspicion. You
cannot distinguish between tle
p guilty or the innocent and you
should take no chances. Swat
every one of them. Don't let the
flies get into the pantry, Or into
anv other room where food or
supplies are kept. Keep all foods
covered, whether you harbor flies
or not, for the air is always full of
dust and germs. 1t is easier to be
'safe than sorry" Swat the fly.
