Even adding Water Must Be
Properly Done

A cake was made in the institute
kitchen following the directions on
the package most carefully. These
tell you to sift the contents of
the package lone pound). into a
bowl and add three-fourths Of a
cupful Of cold water. The state
ment is also made that the batter
should be Just soft enough to drip
slowly from the spoon. We thought
this was altogether too thick for a
cake batter, but proceeded in
Soldlerly fashion according to di-
fectlons. The resulting product
showed that the batter was alto
lcther too thick. In only a few
minutes after it was out Of the
oven it was very dry and crumbly.
During the baking operation blis-
ters appeared on the top of the cake,
confirming the fact that not enough
water had been added.
A second trial, using the amount
OF liquid properly employed with a
pound Of soft" -four, gave a most
delicate, light, fluffy cake which
even after two days was in first
fate condition to appear on the
able. We added nine additional
aoIespoonsful of water, this max
.ag about one and one-fourth cups
iai OF liquid in all. The batter was
'efy thin. pouring easily, and it
vas not necessary to spread it
aa1 on the pan," as is stated on
|ae package, as it spread itself. The
cake was placed in a cold oven for
ABOUT twenty-five minutes with the
neat turned to moderate. The
'ake was Drowned perfectly with a
very nice crust, the texture being
usicate and soft, without crumbling.

Unusual Cake Formulas

The following recipes we think
are very much better when made
from pastry flour, and your results
will be excellent if you have your
batter the proper consistency. Most
cake batters should be made very
thin SO that they spread Of them
selves when put IN the pan. This
invariably results in a very light
cake Of the very finest texture when
the pastry flour is used. We always
put cakes into a cold oven and
then turn the heat to moderate
during the process Of baking. This
Is, however, a controversial point
among cooks.

add alternately to first mixture with
one-half cupful of milk or water.
Lastly add the stiffiy beaten whites
of three eggs. Bake in three Layers

Oriental Tea Cakes

Cream one-fourth cupful of but
ter with one cupful of brown sugar.
Dissolve one-eighth teaspoonful Of
soda in one teaspoonful of cold
water and add to the mixture, then
add vanilla and one cupful Of we'll
sifted pastry flour. Mix it until it
Ao-ds together well and leaves no
crumbs in the bowl. If it separates
add some water, a drop at a time,
until the mixture can be nodded
into little balls. Place these balls
on buttered tins about an inch and
half apart and bake in a quick
oven until brown. This amount
makes about forty cakes.

once or twice a week, even on warm
spring mornings, and the remainder
could be utilized for dinner or
luncheon.

lost Almost Nothing and Pastry Flours of Sorts
Some Flours That Save Your Time
and Also Serve a Special
Purpose

N ONE people think that it does
not matter what -four is used
~ in cake making. They tell
US they get equally good results
with ordinary bread -four and the
more expensive pastry -four done
up in packages for that particular
purpose. To be sure, it is per-
fectly possible with great care to
make a satisfactory cake with the
bread -four, but we believe more
excellent cake with a finer texture
is made from the pastry flour, which
is made from the soft" winter
wheat and contains less gluten.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-16
Special Methods as Well

However, it is of the utmost i'm
portance, whatevez -four is used, to
sift it many times and when meas
s.ss;y.g not to pack it down, but have
it lightly sifted into the measuring
cup. 1t is most astonishing to see

Moths Take Big Chances.

The high-flying species of morpho
which inhabit the mountainous dis
trlcts Of western America, are much
easier captured than those which fire.
Quent the plains, though their capture
is often attended with difficulty and
danger, says the American Forestry
Magazine of Washington. One natural
list hunting moths and butterflies in
Bogota, fell over precipice and broke
his arm, and then found that he had
three days journey to make on horse
back before he could meet with a doc

was collecting in Bolivia found that
mOrpho godartii Guer., beautiful spe-
cies. Of a rather light blue which was
previously almost unknown to entOmol-
ogists, frequented an inaccessible ledge
in the mountains; he was obliged to
have himself lowered by ropes over the
precipice before he could obtain it.

THREE ORCHARD ROBBERS
PAY FINES IN MUSKEG0N

Vincent Keller, Milton Bean and
Clarence Ploetingle, Muskegon trio,
paid fines Of twenty dollars and costs
each when arraigned before Justice
o. G.. Clement at Muskegon Heights,
when they pleaded guilty to stealing
fruit from the orchard of William Ell
lis, Norton township, Muskegon coun-
ty farmer. The men were arrested
by State Troopers o. G. Marsden and
Harry Olson of the Grand Rapids de-
tachment. Three young women, who
accompanied the men, were released.
The arrests of the three men came in
response to complaints of farmers
throughout western Michigan to
Captain r. G. Strope Of the State con-
stabulary. stating that motorists were
stripping their orchards. Captain
Strope has assigned men to patrol
duty in Kent, Muskegon, Ottawa,

attempt to put an end to the help
yourself motorists who have caused
Michigan farmers heavy losses dur

doubt is that self-poisoning is lux
ury in this State. Analyses of the
potent spirits seized In many raids
prove indisputably that the great ma
iority of the "moonshine" whisky made
and sold in Michigan is highly poison
GUS. And yet its vendors obtain for
this vile and deleterious concoction
luxury prices.
In raiding moonshiners and destroy
ing illicit stills, the State Police have
not only enforced the law as to pro-
hibition, but they have enforced that
against murder.
Blindness. insanity, death-these are
some of the things which come in
the wake of drinking the stuff which
money-eager men distill in secret
places to sell to the credulous and
the foolish. Ignorant of the chemical
reactions of spirits and metals, these
moonshiners risk the penalties Of pris-
on in order to produce liquors so vile
that it seems strange that they can
find victims to buy them.
No matter what the sympathy OF
the individual may be with regard to
the prohibition laws, there can be no
difference of opinion as to the need
of some force to ferret out the makers
of these criminal and crime-producing
beverages. The findings OF the chem
lists show that most Of the moonshin-
ers are potential murderers, whether
they know it or not.
The service of the State Police In
this respect is a life-saving service,
even though it may win curses instead
Of credit from the persons whose
health and even lives would be periled
If they were allowed to secure the
raw, poisoned spirits which they crave.
