Perfection Cake.

" cup butter
11s cups sugar
" cup cold water
IL cups flour
"a cup cornstarch
teaspoons baking powder
Yolks of four eggs
Whites of four eggs
"a cup almonds, blanched and shred
ded M
Pinch salt in eggs.
Cream butter. add sugar slowly, and
beat until very light. Add water, mix
and sift flour, making powder and
cornstarch. Add yolks of the eggs
beaten very light, then whites beat
en- stiff and dry, then the flour,
cornstarch and baking powder. Put
into buttered pans lined with paper,
sprinkle with the shredded almonds
and powdered sugar, and bake in a
moderate oven for 35 or 40 minutes.
This will make two squares and is a
very delicate cake.
IF boiled frosting hardens too
quickly, becoming dull or rough, it
has been cooked or beaten a little
too long, and may be improved by
the addition Of a drop or two Of
lemon juice or boiling water. If the
irosting remains sticky, refusing to
hold its shape, it may be due to, in
sufficient cooking of the syrup, mois-
ture in the atmosphere, egg whites
not beaten to stiff enough froth,
or cooling of the syrup before pour
ing over the whites. The condition
may be remedied by placing the bowl
containing frosting over a pan Of boil
ing water, over the fire, and stirring
untN frosting begins to sugar slight
Iy around the edges. 1t is then re-
moved from the boiling water ard
beaten until thick. This ID simple
remedy for a sticky frosting.

committee on military affairs when he
went to the capitol to explain the de-
fective ammunition served to PERISH
ing's men. The cartridges were made
at the government arsenal at Phila-
dclphia and the discovery Of their
effectiveness occurred between Janu-
ary first and June first of this year.
Notice was sent to Pershing on Aug
ust first. Information was given to
the public in the United States Sep
tember third. Thus more than sixty
days elapsed between the time when
the bad quality of the cartridges was
known and the time when Pcrshing
was told of it; and more than thirty
were added before the people at home
knew about it. The incident differs
only indegrce from the revelations
which have been taking place in Rus
sia of late in connection with the
course pursued by the Cars minister
Of war, Soukhomlinoff. The same
methods of concealmcnt which held
vogue in autocratic Russia seems to
have been employed in democratic
America.
Opportunity for War Budget
Continuing to advocate in general
terms 4 scheme for presenting sci
entific budget of national estimates
for war and other expenditures, the
New York World nevertheless frowns
upon the. plan to establish a joint
committee of Congress to cooperate
The Lamar register., 1917-09-19

with the administration in the con-
duct of the war. The latter plan can
be made to embrace the former; and
its adoption would simplify war pro-
cedure-in its legislative aspect at
least-by conserving the energies of
cabinet officers who are now required
to go to Congress every time that
more money is demanded, which is
very often nowadays. The proposed
joint committee would have all of the
information which the cabinet officers
possess; and the committee members
would have the additional advantage
of being able to lay their information
before their colleagues upon even
terms, without critical hostility. AS a
solvent for most of the difficulties
which carrying on war presents, the
joint congressional committee far ex-
cells any budget scheme that can be
devised, helpful though a budget
scheme would be.

when the measure providing insur- |

the members who desire to speak on

To Remove Injustice in the Army
The recent tranzfer of many retir-
cd army officers TO active duty has
disclosed some injustice arising out of
the Act Of March 3, 1911, which con-
fcrred upon officers then on the active
list r..lls they had lost by the prior
system Of promotion = other arms of
the service. Officers with Civil War
records were on the retired list when
that Act wac passed were not included
within its provisions, 60 that many
officers promoted under it, and since
retired, now take rank Of those for

Army
A measure that will have an inter
est for many officers Of the national
army has been prepared aad intro
duccd in the house of representatives
by Hon. Joseph Mclaughlin Of Penn
sylyania. The bill makes it possible
for any officer below the rank Of col
oncl, who has served no less thaE five
years in the regular army, and been
honorably discharged, to be promoted
to the rank he would have held if he
had remained in the army. In addi-
ton TO the previous service Of five
years it is required that he shall have
at least ten years to serve before
reaching retirement age, and that he
shall pass the professional oxamina-
ton for the grade to which he is eli
riblc. Mr. Mclaughlin provides that
the new officers created under his
resolution shall be carried as addition
al numbers Of the corresponding
grade.

HOW TO MAKE A HOME.
MADE REFRIGERATOR.

A light weight wooden frame
work AZ inches high by 16 inches
bys14 inches is first made up.
The bottom of this frame work
should be placed couple OF in
ches above the end of the frame
work and when made of solid
wood will form the lower shelf.
Other shelves to suit the disire
of the user. may be placed at
intervals within the frames A
door fitted with hirges and fast
ening will be next in order. II
this frame work is then given a.
coat or so of white paint and en-
amel finish, the housewife will
find it much easier to keep clean
Over the top sides and door, u
screen wire netting will
render the interior safe from in
sects.
A narrow strip of muslin, upon
which buttons have been loosely
sewed may be tackled around the
top and down one side of the
front of the frame.
Plain domestic or other white
material will be found satisfac-
tory for the cover, which should
fiji completely around the sides
of the refrigerator. If button
holes are worked into this cover,
it may be buttoued on the strips
which have been fastened to the
framework. The cover can then
be removed easily and washed.
This cover should extend to
the bottom Of the frame work.
Upon the top of this cover,
oIi ail four sides, tapering wick
made from d double thickness OF
the same cloth as the material
should be evenly sewed not bas
ted or "caught. These wicks
will rest in the pan of water
which is placed upon the top of
the refrigerator and will absorb
the water from the gan, in the
same manner that lamp wick
absorbs the oil in a lamp. This
/ absorption will not occur, unless
1.-THE wicks are evenly sewed to
Z the cover. A square pan for the
top will be better than round
pan but if a round pan is used it
should be large enough to cover
the top of the frame.
Pans will usually have to be
made TO fit the frame. This will
constitute perhaps the heaviest
part OF the expense. A pan in
which the refrigerator stands
will need TO be several inches
larger than the frame work, in.
order to allow the frame TO fit in
well. If the refrigerator is on
a back gallery, the lower pan
may be omitted as the amount
of drip from the cloth will not
be heavy enough to do much
damage. If placed in the kitch
en-, the lower pan will be neces-
sary.
Place refrigerator in a draft
keep the top pan filled with wat
er and watch the result. As the
I principal upon which the refrig-
erator works is evaporation, it
follows that on a damp day,
when there is no evaporation,
the temperature will not be as
low in the interior, as on a hot
dry day.

As an instance of the actions of
some of these people meeting
was held at the Iron Springs
school house Friday night the
object of the meeting we under

unconstitutional. Mr.. G. E.

to attend this meeting and to

plain English the dangerous

ing and refused to be a party

While Tom Watson is doubt

Georgia anarchist for meetings
which may land those who hold
them in '.serious trouble" In
the following from another North
Mississippi paper, the Ripley Sen
tinel the writer probably went
further than he thought in ex-
citing opposition to the conscrip-
tion law and imputations against
the President. But whatever
the editor thought whathe wrote
may easily connect itself as
cause of such meeting as that
held in Neshoba:
One of the "war measures"
that the advocates of miIitarism
hope to fasten upon the country
under the pressure of the r sent
situation is universal military
service. Consumption is the en-
tering wedge. The next move
will be to pas law forcing
every young man in the United
States to serve SO long in the
regular army and be subject to
call for a period ofso many years.
A greater curse to democracy
could not come to this govern
ment. These are things we
must watch now while the war
is progressing and be ready to
express our opinion SO positively
that we may be able to convince
congressman that the voice OF
the people has, a right to be
heard along with the imperial
mandates fromthe White House. !"
BY Presidential proclamations
and acts of congress the fact has
been registered that there can
"come no greater curse to de-
mocracy" than the determine
tion Of the war in favor of Germ
any. The United States having
taken the profund and awful
plunge into war for avertiug this
curse, it naturally follows that
the greatest otfense that can be
committed by American citizens
against their government is to
antagonize and obstruct it's
measures and policies for carry
ing the war to a successful con-
clusion. AS everything depends
upon raising an adequate army
this fact should be bornein mind
by the critics of conscription.

upon as ''the entering wedge of
