GranyiIle's Cake

Not long ago you asked for recipes in which buttermilk was used as the main ingredient. and I take pleasure in send ing one we have tried and like. We call it Granville's cake: Take six cups of flour, one and three-quarter cups of brown white sugar, one teaspoon of soda, one teaspoon of lard, enough salt so it may be pressed into Jumps. Work all together Put into a separate crock two cups of buttermilk or loppered milk and quarters of cup of molasses. Put in the Jumps but do not stir them all fine. Do not make too thin. Pie tins may be lined with a thin crust or simply sprinkled with flour. Put in batter and bake G. Q. L'
 Without casting doubt upon your skill in cake making, I must interject one query: Are not six cups of flour too much for the quantity of milk and mo- asses which are supposed to bring 1t to the proper consistency for cake batter? to be baked in pie crust, like custard or l accentuate the inquiry as tne mixture is transparent pudding. You may be in the right, for I have not tried the formula. Reasoning upon general principles, I am speculating as to the possibility that the six cups were a slip of the pen. Of course they are of sifted flour? I wish course, they are of sifted flour? I wish relieve my mind upon this head 1 am making a choice collection of recipes based upon buttermilk and I should like to include Granvilles cake.

Washington, July 1.-Because most na- tional bank defalcations are by employees retained on single set of books con- tinually, Comptroller Williams is trying to induce all banks to grant yearly vaca- tions so that records may be examined during the employees absence. Many small banking institutions do not allow annual leave, it was disclosed by replies to query included in the latest call for bank statements. The comptroller said tonight that he was interested primarily in preventing falsifying of records and embezzlement by this means, rather than in exercising a paternal supervision of employees welfare.

BUSINESS ACTIVE

Commercial Agency States That There Is No Shrink
 age of Trade

New York, July 21.-Dun's review to. morrow will say:
 Contrary to the usual experience at this season there are many more points of activity than of dullness in the gen. eral situation. Business continues re- markedly full during the period when it ordinarily shows the greatest shrink age, current reports adding to the ac- emulation of superlatives with regard to trade, industry and transportation. While in some important lines, notably in steel and leather, foreign demands are again the overshadowing feature. it is not because of any lack of con- fidence that domestic buying has abated. Many interests here, having already covered their requirements well ahead, naturally proceed more slowly in ex- tending commitments further, and this spirit of conservatism, manifest throughout the country, Is most reas- surfing in it's bearing on the future. To certain extent, crop uncertainties are cause for hesitancy. but. on the whole, agriculture progresses favorably. though recent storms at the south have been somewhat detrimental to cotton.
