ments that have recently been made
in the church The altar and pulpit
were hand worked into a beautiful
design and add much beauty and
strength to the interior of the church.
The new pulpit and altar are but
two of the many improvements that
have been made in the st. Johns
Lutheran church within the last few
weeks. The entire interior of the
building has been remodeled and a
coat of paint has frightened the ex-
terror of the building.
The church was filled almost to seat
ing capacity with town people and
visitors from the country. The rain
kept many away who had planned to
come from a distance.
The newly remOdeled church has
thrived abundantly under the ministry
of Rev. Wuest, a tireless worker. a
staunch exponent of the gospel, a
broad minded citizen, and a close ad-
berent of the Golden Rule. He carries
a refinement and poise that is not al
way seen in a rough and ready com
munity like American Falls.

A CHEAP CAKE.

In Bible times folks rebelIed at be-
ing requested to make bricks without
straw. but perhaps il they hau been
devising economical methods to cut
down their own high cost of living in
else-and that somebody no particular
pet of theirs, anyhow-they would
have achieved it. At any rate. modern
housewives have schemed out a lot of
substitutes for expensive foods, and
we may look forward hopefully to the
day when some clever woman will
send some magazine a recipe for a
souffle or a ragout or a salad which
requires no ingredients whichever.
Meanwhile, here is a recipe for an egg
less. BUTTERFLIES cake, printed in the
current number of the Woman's Home
ConpanIon-a Less Cake" shall we
call Il? Though r. NJ. ", who v6alches
for IT, declares you will want mbre
and more OF 1t. Anyhow. here II is:
Mix one and one-half cupfuls of
brown sugar and one half Cupful of
lard. Add one-hslf cupful OF grated
chocolate dissolved in one-half cupful
Of boiling water and one half tea
spoonful OF soda dissolved in. one half
cupful of sour milk. Sift together one
and three fourths-cupfuls Of flour. one
half cupful of cornstsrch, one-half
teaspoonful Of baking powder and
one half teaspOonful Of ground cloves.
Add to first mixture, mix and bake.
Try IL and see IL you aren't enthusi-
astic about it."

EeeLEss-eUTTERLEss CAKE.

A cake recipe which il creating
much enthusiastic interest has been
distributed recently by the corps OF
women demonstrators sent out by the
gas companies. This marvellous re-
cipe requires no eggs, milk or butter.
and those who have tried it claim it
approaches cake perfection.
At first blush such a cake sounds
as II 1t would either be too ethereal
or too heavy for human consump-
ton. But no-a wise combination of
ingredients, including none of the So
called cake staples, results in a deli
cious cake.
The recipe is as follows: Two Guns
OF sugar, two cups of water, two Ia
blespoons of CINNAMON. two table
spoons of lard. one-half teaspoon of
salt and two cups of seeded raisins
or other dry ingredients. such as
chopped citron and currants. Boz.
this mixture five minutes. When COO.
add one heAping teaspoon of baking
soda sitted in three cups of flour. This
recipe makes two cakes.
Line the tins with paper well
creased and bake in a moderate oven
one hour. turning the gas down tC
about one-half after ten minutes.
This versatile cake also makes n
lucious plum pudding by steaming
and serving with hard sauce.
