 A very simple way to regulate an oven inclined to burn ones pies and cakes on the bottom is to put a pan of water on the floor of the oven exactly under the pans of baking pastries.
 Heat the oven solely with regard to the top. Put the grating up as high as possible. The lower part of the oven will be too hot, but it must be in order to have the top hot enough to bake lon top.'
 When the oven is the desired tem- perature, put in the cake and under it put the pan of cold water. A drip ping pan half full of water will an- swer the purpose. A cup of cold water added from time to time will keep the heat down to any degree necessary.
