THE EGGLESS CAKE.
High Cost of Living Reduced by
Several Millions.

High Cost OF Living Reduced by
Several Millions.
The prestige of the hen is being
way.
She lays a billion eggs or so for
the human race each year, and, I'M
der world war conditions, the price
of eggs per dozen to consumers had
approached dollar in some parts of
the United States, and has reached
the prohibitive price of two dollars
or more in the belligerent countries.
Therefore when the high cost Of
living looms large in the public eye,
unusual Importance is attached to
the announcement of the best known
baking powder company in the world
that it has evolved ready and prac-
teal way for the housewife to save,
in the aggregate, many millions of
dollars in household expenses
through the use of more Royal Bak-
ing Powder and less eggs.
Months. of experimenting have
ELECTED a large number of recipes
for the making of home baked pro-
ducts with fewer eggs, and these
recipes are being distributed gratis.
1t is claimed that they prove con-
clusively that the baking powder
saves eggs-in some cakes about
half the cost of the cake is saved.
In recipes calling for the use of eggs,
the number can be reduced and ex-
cellent results-healthful, appetizing
cakes, mullins, corn bread, etc. OBJ
tanned by using a small additional
quantity, about teaspoon, of Royal
baking Powder in place of each egg
omitted.
The acme, or top-notch achieve
ment, in this connection is an eggless,
milkless, BUTTERFLIES cake that is pro-
nounced by all who have tasted it to
be delicious and wholesome. It's ap-
petizing quality, it is claimed, will
be surprising to the housewife who
tries it according to the recipe given.
The idea of using more Royal bak-
ing powder and less eggs in baking
is not entirely new, but the elaborate
enlarging and perfecting of the idea
just accomplished renders it a very
present help, meeting the necessities
Of the housewife of moderate means
in time of soaring food prices.
In the British Isles the news has
been received with enthusiasm. The
baking powder company, while not
being accused of being an out-and-
out philanthropist in the matter, is
pointed out as having provided the
means of effecting an enormous saw
ing in household affairs in a way
that benefits everybody and harms
nobody-except it be the pride of the
autocratic hen. The company only
completed its experiments recently,
and already the announcements are
being spread broadcast in the news
papers, which, it will be remember
ed, many years ago made the name
of Royal Baking Powder household
word all over the world.

the stalks that are left there, than
all the good they will get from the

Better take the stalks all off and

begin to shrink and lose weight.

Rev. w. A. Shulenberger preached
the sermon for the union service at
the Mexico Christian church Sunday
night. Mr.. Shulenberger was form
erly pastor of this church, but now
has charge of large church in Des
Moines, Iowa. The address was a
timely one, the speaker taking for
his theme, THE American Spirit.
1t was an appeal for the highest
patriotism. He had only scalding
words for the Stacker. 1t was just
such talk as no one with a spark of
love of country in his veins could
find fault with a single utterance
We wish such an address could be
heard in every pulpit of the land.

WABASH HEAVY FREIGHT.

The Wabash Railway has just re-

st. Louis and Chicago, rs new loco
motives for freight service. These are
known as the 2-10-2 type and are

pounds, have tractive force of 70, 900
pounds. They are super-heated. Ten
der carries 10000 gallons of water,
and Is tons of coal.
A new device is a mechanical sto-
ker that brushes the coal on the en-
CINE. The engine hauls a weight OF
5000 tons, or, it will haul 1000 cars
each containing 100000 lbs, or a to-
tai tonnage of 10000, 900 pounds.

Road overseers in many sections
are neglecting to comply with the law
which requires them to cut all weeds
and brush growing on the right-of-
way of public roads which come un-
der their supervision. Many of our
roads are too narrow, and the cut
ting of weeds by the wayside will
make the roads more safe to travel,
and unless the weeds are cut before
the seeds ripen there will be a more
bountiful crop to contend with next
year.
