Economical War Cake.

A fruit cake without eggs was much
used in England during the holidays
and further popularized by being
called war cake" 1t is really very
good and undoubtedly economical.
1t requires one-half pound of flour,
two ounces of sultana raisins, one
ounce of currants, one ounce of but
ter. one-half pound of brown sugar,
one teaspoonful of carbonate Of soda,
one tablespoonful molasses, one-fourth
teaspoonful cinnamon or mixed spices,
one-fourth teaspoonful Of ground gin
ger, one teaspoonful vinegar. Mix the
ingredients after Dreaming the sugar
and butter. in half-cup Of milk. Put
the vinegar in last and very carefully
a drop at a time lest it curdle the
mixture. Bake in moderate oven for
an hour and do not cut for week.

(From W >ekly News Letter, United States
Department of Agriculture)
The results of recent tests by the
in wheat of more than per cent of
what are known to millers as "insep-
arabic impurities lessons the value
of the wheat for milling and baking
purposes. This fact has been recog-
nized in general commercial practice,
for wheat containing noticeable
amount of impurities brings a lower
price per bushel than other wheat.
The experiments conducted by the
department are discussed in detail in
Bulletin 32S. They included tess of
the effect of rye, kinghead, corn cookie
and wild vetch seed in wheat in va
rious quantities. OF these substances,
rye occurs the most frequently, being
found in SO per cent of the samples Of
hard winter wheat examined by the
investigators and in 80 per cent of the
spring wheat. In one instance farm
er's wheat crop contained 1913 per cent
Of rye. On this account the farmer
received cents less per bushel than
the normal price.
In regard to the quantity Of rye nee
essary to exert an injurious effect up
on the quality of wheat, there is a
difference Of opinion among millers
Some believe that when the percen-
tage of rye is less than 5, the -four or
bread is not noticeably affected, while
others have held that per cent is oh.
jectionable. The government investi-
gators found that per cent or more
of rye is sufficient to lower the quality
of the bread.
In considerable percentage of the
wheat samples examined, the presence
of rye was said to be due probably to
the fact that the seed used in sowing
the wheat contained rye. 1t Is not in
frequent for rye to scatter during har-
vest and to produce in this way a vol
unteer crop. If wheat is sown on land
which was planted in rye the previous
season, this volunteer crop of rye is
harvested with the wheat. Partial
winterkilling of the wheat increases
the percentage of the rye, because the
latter grain is not so susceptible to
winterkilling as the former
Corn cookie, although less frequent
in wheat than rye. has a more injuri-
Gus effect. The presence of even l
per cent Of this weed seed in wheat
is likely to lower the price to the farm
er, and certainly lowers the baking
quality of the -four. Corn cookie is an
exceedingly prolific annual weed, a
single plant having been known to
yield as high as $500 seed. Further

POTATOES At THEIR BEST
Universally Popular Vegetable viii
We'll Repay All the Care That
Can Be Given to it.

There are many varieties of pota-
toes. Tastes differ as to the most de-
sirable kind. In this country the white
potato, when light and dry, is pre-
ferred II is especially suited for boil
ing, steaming and baking, also for
soups and purees. The yellow pota-
toes are more suitable for salads, rag
outs, hash and frying, because they
keep their shape when cooked. The
sweet potato makes a pleasant and
healthful addition to the table. 1t is
rich in starch and sugar and somewhat
laxative.
The white and yellow varieties con-
tain large percentage of water, a
fair percentage of starch, very small
percentage of sugar and about one per
cent mineral matter. 1t is to this min
eral matter that the potato owes it's
antiscorbutic properties.
Potatoes cooked in dry heat, as by
baking in the oven, roasting in ashes,
frying in deep fat, or steaming with
out peeling are more pronounced and
savory than when cooked in water. But
the vegetables so cooked must be
served just as soon as they are done,
or else they will become soggy. On
the contrary, boiled potatoes may be
kept warm for an hour or more after
cooking without i'll results.
Potatoes should cook in half an hour
if ordinary size. Large potatoes should
be given five minutes more. and small
ones two minutes less. These rules
apply to peeled, partly peeled or I'M
peeled.
The potatoes should be covered with
boiling water and brought quickly to a
boil. After fifteen minutes add one
tablespoonful of salt to every twelve
potatoes. At the end Of thirty minutes
drain off. To make them very white
and mealy. after draining off the wa
ter, put the cover on, hold it down
firmly and give the pot shake Next

cred pot outside for few seconds, to

Useful Cupboard.

Where to keep dishes that are in
constant use is a question Some like
them on open shelves as labor-saver,
but really good suggestion is that
of cupboard in the wall between din
ing room and kitchen, with glass doors
on dining room side and a solid one
on side near kitchen sink. The work
of opening doors is less than that of
keeping dishes properly wiped The
lower part of the cupboard may have
solid doors, behind which to keep
plates, also leftover preserves, crack
ers and other articles so lacking in
decorative effect that one does not
wish to display them behind glass
doors.

The essentials of a sanitary milk pail
are first, that it shall be provided
with small opening; second, that all
seams and grooves shall be flushed
with solder to obliterate the crevices
which harbor bacteria; third, that pro-
vision be made for pouring out the
milk over an uncontaminated surface,
and, fourth, that the pail shall be of
proper height for convenience in milk
ing. A small opening in the milk pail
is necessary to reduce the chance for
dirt and other foreign material to get
into the milk. This opening should
be as small as possible without reduc-
ing its size to the point where it will
be unduly difficult to draw the milk
into it. From the standpoint of clean
illness the smaller the better. In prac.
tice 1t is not advisable to have the
opening smaller than six inches in

Study your apple trees carefully, es.
pecially with reference to pruning
them. They do not as a rule require
cutting back as severely as the peach
or plum. Thin out all the interfering
limbs and branches and cut back only
sparingly. This is especially true if
the trees are older. Young trees may
require more at times, while shaping
them to the type you have fixed in

DESSERTS OF MERIT

UTILIZED CAKE.
Prevented Waste and at the Same

Preparations for the Oeiec-

For the holidays had made large
sized fruit cake and some small fancy
cakes of various kinds. In addition to
this supply friend sent in huge fig
layer cake, so it was inevitable there
should be a surplus in the tin box.
My economical spirit rebelled at the
idea of wasting good cake, so | donned
my thinking cap, and the result was
several desserts much enjoyed by the
family. writes Jeanette Ross in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The remains of the layer cake re-
quired my first attention as it had be-
come quite dry. l softened it with a
little warm milk, just enough to mois-
ten it somewhat; then | poured over
the cake an ice-cold custard made of
the yolks of two eggs, one cupful Of
milk, two large tablespoonfuls of sugar
rubbed smooth with a little milk. Judg-
ing from the familys clamorous de-
mands for second helping of this
dessert, it met with their approval.
l hardly knew how to make use of
the small cakes l had left, but few
days later l solved the problem.

had the layer cake-then put one cake
on the bottom of each plate, with three
or four upright around it; on the cen

the jar of peaches, then added a
imeringue. made from one egg and pow
dered sugar. This dessert met with as
cordial a reception as the first.
Thus encouraged, l wondered how
! could utilize the small pieces Of
fruitcake left In lieu of steamer, |
put the cake In q colander over pot

made as follows: One small cupful
of sugar, two level tablespoonfuls of
-four, one tablespoonful Of butter,
pinch of salt, one egg, one pint Of
milk, cooked together until thick and
smooth, favored with little nutmeg.
When the family sampled this dessert
they thought had made another plum
pudding and could hardly believe it
was composed of the remnants Of the
fruitcake.

EWREVENUE NEEDED
Unexpected Income From Regu-

Lawmakers.

Secretary McAdoo has notified lead
ers OF Congress that the amount OF
additional revenue which must be
raised by special Legislation before
the session ends will not exceed $780,
100000.
This Is cheering news to the sv-
erage member, who feared that the
Government might run as high as
extraordinary revenue needs OF the
$500, 00o.0 900.
Increases from the usual channels
OF revenue--customs duties. the In
come tax and Internal revenue taxa
tion--have reduced the amount that
must be raised by special taxation.
II IL said that the income tax re-
turns will be about 5000, 900 higher
than they were last year, there will be
an increase of at least $751; 900 In
customs, and an increase OF about s40,-
10000 from internal revenue taxes and
miscellaneous sources.
This unexpected fall OF money into
