And as he stared vacantly and namely into

from his pale and watery eyes.
He made no effort to hide them, for he
was as unconscious of them as he was OF the

He did not appear to be actually weeping.
He seemed possessed of nothing so active
and positive as pain. He merely appeared to
be tired, tired to the extent of an ultimate
indifferency which left him oblivious Of his
attitude and his environment. His mind
seemed long way off.

Advice to
Daughters

Advice to daughters is VIGOROUSLY
easy to give, but it is not so sure
Of acceptance. An Iowa father re-
Gently placed some of this commodity
in a letter. where it stands confront
ing his girls, now that he has gone
to a place so far distant that his voice
is no longer heard.
A. E. Holbert was one of the sue
cessful men Of Greeley in Iowa. His
thoughts were for the business he had
built up and for the family he must
leave behind. In a posthumous letter
he urges his daughters to be sensible
in selecting the men whom they
marry He suggests that they will do
better to remain single and take active
part in the business he has left them,
than to marry worthless" men.
One of the great fears of father
who has been against and through the
world is that his daughter may marry
worthless" man. There is no good
reason why girl should not investi-
gate with care the character and pros
poets of the man who desires to marry
her. Unfortunately, however, mar
riages are not so often founded on
reason as they are on chance, or
impulse, or on some attempt at in
tuition. Reason, perhaps, should not
alone govern the choice, but reason
may well figure in it.
Mr.. Holbert's advice is pretty good
advice to all daughters. A man may
reform" after marriage, but it is not
likely No woman should take a
chance on man who is not decent,
industrious and capable at the time
when he is asking her to marry him.
The worthless" man is sometimes
good pleader, when it comes to mar
riage. Promises are easy to make.
Marriage is the great adventure for
girl. And father knows better what
an unfortunate marriage" means. He
has seen many unhappy lives. His ad--
vice is expert advice.-Minneapolis

A perfect cake is level result
which can only be obtained by bak-
ing i'll a moderate oven. However, u
an oven is too slow, the cake will
dry. There is no objection to cup
cakes rising to a peak, since they are
best baked in quick oven.
This plain cake recipe may be var
led by baking in different forms as
suggested above, or by different frost
ings. or by slight variations in the
batter itself
Variations of Plain Cake-Add u
c. chopped nuts to the batter. When
adding nuts or fruit save about "a C.
of the -four to mix with them.
Sometimes little extra baking
powder is sprinkled onto the nuts.
Plain Fruit Cake-Add "a c. chop
ped dates, figs, raisins, candied fruit
or currants, or a mixture of fruits.
Spice Cake-Sift t cinnamon, "a
t. allspice, and a t. cloves with the
flour.
Chocolate Cake-Sift Is c. grated
, chocolate or cocoa with the -four.
The addition of spices helps this cake.
Marble Cake-Divide cake batter
into parts. To one-half add "a c.
grated chocolate. Bake in loaf cake
form. adding alternate spoonfuls OF
the light and dark batterS
White Cake-lncrease sugar to ~
c.; and use five egg whites beaten till
stiff with a t. cream Of tartar.
Gold Cake-Substitute six egg
yolks for two eggs.
There are some kinds of cakes
which cannot be conveniently classed
as variations of plain cake. Such are
the following:

Cakes

When the subject OF cakes is dis
cussed in books OF cookery we
find somewhat more orderly arrange
ment of recipes than in other kinds
of foods. Two distinct classes OF
cakes are recognized-those with but
ter, or, 10 be more exact. those with
shortening. and those without Those
without include sponge, sunshine and
ange' cakes, which will be discussed
in later article. A great many OF
the cakes with shortening can be
definitely related to one basic recipe;
and all are made according to the
same general method, as follows;
PLAIN CAKE
u C shortening C. flour
/ G. sugar. t. baking powder,
2 eggs. t. vanilla
u C. milk.
Cream butter, or other shortening,
add sugar gradually and continue
dreaming till well mixed. Add yolks
beaten till light, then -four and milk
gradually and alternately. Stir till a
smooth batter results. then add egg
whites beaten till stiff with a few
grains OF salt. Pour into creased
pans and bake in moderately hot
oven, allowing twenty minutes Tor
cup cakes or layer cakes, and forty
five minutes in more moderate oven
for loaf cakes. Turn out onto a wire
cake rack or sieve to cool.
There are some special points to
consider in the choice of materials.
The shortening may be butter which
probably gives the finest flavor, or it
may be cheaper fat In using lard
or commercial fat, use one-ttth
less than of butter, owing to differ
ence in chemical composition. Some
cooking experts recommend a special
berry sugar, which is finer than gran
ulated. for making fine cakes. Again,
for delicate cakes, pastry -four should
be used as it makes more tender
product. If bread -four is used in
such recipes, use slightly less. The
most expensive package pastry fours
need not be used for most cakes, but
less choice pastry -four may be
purchased by the sack.
In the directions given above the
old-fashioned, conservative method is
suggested. suppose we must admit
that for very fine cakes, such as
white cakes, nothing short of the old
fashioned directions will produce the
desired result. But for everyday
cake certain short cuts are permits
sibe. For instance, softened, or melt
ed fat provided the fat has not been
heated very hot in the melting)
makes satisfactory cake at con-
siderable saving OF time and energy.
The beating of whites and yolks of
eggs separately may be avoided with
out seriously affecting the cake. The
modern theory is that cake should
not be beaten beyond the necessary
amount to make smooth batter, and
it should never be beaten after the
folding in of the egg whites (if the
egg whites are beaten stiff. The bak.
! ing of cake is exceedingly important

Dur ing the winter months a hen can't see 70 scratch her dinner out of the litter before s o'clock in the morning nor after 3:30 p. m. That gives her but seven and a half hours, and part of that time she should be on the nest During the winter We light the lamps at in the morning and have them go- ing in the evening until S:30 We place their grain ill deep litter, and the hens are busy all the time"
