MANY CAKES IN ONE.

Sift together one heaping cup Of
flour. one scant cup of sugar and
one heaping teaspoon of baking pow
der. Melt in a measuring cup a lump
of butter the size of a hickory nut,
break an egg into this melted butter
and fill the cup with sweet milk. Beat
this into the dry ingredients. Flavor
with lemon and bake in loaf for a
delicious sponge cake. Bake in lay
ers and put together with any desired
Killing, for fancy. Add one table
spoon cocoa to the batter, for a de-
licious devils food; add spices and
raislns for a fruit cake; for mock
angles food, that can't be told from
the real article, use the whites of
two eggs instead of one whole egg.
So on ad infinitum.

ORCHESTRA DIRECTOR As A MAN.

Emil Oberhoffer, conductor of the
Minneapolis symphony orchestra,
which IS to appear at the Coliseum in
Davenport May HIP, is Bavarian by
birth but has been a resident of this
country for the past 20 years. In
manner, speech and thought he is typi-
cally American and. like all great men,
regardless of nationality. is progress
sive. catholic in his tastes and exceed
ingly democratic in his intercourse
with his fellowmen. Those who know
him well declare him the most charm
ing personality of their acquaintance
a man Of real culture and refinement,
and one who can talk on other sub
jects with the same authority and
knowledge with which he can discuss
music.
In the past Mr.. Oberhoffer has done
as so many of the prominent conduc-
tors in this country do: gone to Europe
every summer with the idea of looking
over the musical field and seeking mus
ical novelties. but with each year he
realized more and more that there was
little need of this undertaking a the
large music houses of New York and
Boston were able TO supply him with
the scores of new works as readily as
they could be secured in Europe, and
besides. during the summer months
foreign Orchestras of any importance
were inactive just as over here, thus
making it impossible to hear the new
music played So last summer Mr..
Oberhoffer built charming summer
home on a high hill overlooking two
Of Minnesota's beautiful lakes and will
now spend his vacations in peace and
comfort and study new scores, fur
nished by the aforesaid New York i'm
porters, at his leisure
After all. among the new works
there are few of lasting merit, a fact
which even the public is discovering
as is proven by the ever increasing
demand for we'll known compositions
of the great composers, classic anG
modern.
Mr.. OberhOffer's reputation as E
program maker is well known, ant
while the program for the concert hert
has not yet been announced. it is Ger.
tain to be of the greatest interest ant
attractiveness.

The Money In Stock,

A Chicago packer said once that the
public seemed to think the beef pack
ers made money as easily as did the
country boy who witnessed the killing
of calf by a motor car.

each other when we met. She has
never had any other friend since then,

when l tell him am going TO be. What
would you do if you were l? Of course
| could quit him, but hate to do that,
as he seems to love me so much.
Would it be proper for me to change

WEIGHTS FOR CURTAINS

A good way to keep curtains in

pers. If attached in this way they
can be easily removed when the cur
tains are washed or cleaned.
