The Brides Cooking Primer
By Mrs. Christine Frederick,
The Distinguished Authority Household Efficiency

K TO lessons IN cooking would
IN be complete without in
struction in making q good
cake. Every young housewife is
extremely proud when she lays on
the table a cake of her own crea-
ton. The ability to make delicate
and attractive cakes lends variety
to the menu and furnishes sugar
and fat in, a wholesome form, espe-
cially in colder weather. Good
cake should be given to the rapidly
growing boy or girl, and few COM
mercial crackers or store cakes
equal the homemade kind In fla
vor and food value.
There are two important secrets
in all cake baking-the mixture or
batter itself, and the baking after
it is in the pan. Let rs talk about
these mixtures which are Of two
distinct kinds, either sponge" or
butter" AZ we know, a cake be-
comes light by means Of beating,
by the air enclosed in beaten eggs
and because of an active agent like
baking powder, the gas of which
expands and thus lightens the mix
ture.
In a true sponge mixture, the
cake depends for its hghtness ON
beating, beaten eggs and baking
powder. It contains no butter or
other shortening. Cakes of this
class are the familiar sponge, angel
food, sunshine, etc. In this type
of cake, beating and folding must
take the place Of stirring. That is,
the ingredients are whipped to-
gether with q light touch and some
form of egg-beater and not turned
firmly with a heavy spoon as in

minutes. Put together with any
good white or chocolate frosting or
cover with any caramel or fancy

Always let a cake get cool be-

MUNICIPAL COURT

Two decisions in civil cases were
handed down Thursday by Judge
Charles w. Atchley of the Waterville
Municipal court. In the case of DR..
c. G. Rancourt VS.. Desire Baker. to
recover $780,, alleged to have been
loaned to the defendant on January
rs, 1918. The court in it's decision
was of the opinion that the weight
of the evidence was in favor of the
defendants contention that the
parties were associated in the de-
velopment of an invention by a third
party, the money for which was to
be furnished by DR.. Rancourt, and
that in the opinion of the court the
$500 was to be expended in the de-
velopment Of the invention and not
as a private loan. Judgment was
accordingly awarded the defendant.
The second decision was in the case
of j. "A. Steward vs. Ella and John
Petrie. The plaintiff, Mr. Steward.
alleged that the sum of $4,000 was
due for the occupancy of rent on
Charles street used as a laundry. The
defendants filed a bill for repairs in
offset, declaring that the plaintiff had
authorized this expenditure. The
court disallowed the claim for re-
pairs and ordered payment of plain
tiff's bill in full

Epsilon Beta Initiates
Antics Disrupt Dignity
Professors Classes Colby

For the past two or three days the
Colby campus has been the scene Of
strange and unusual happenings.
Youths appeared on Monday morning
arrayed in curious and fanciful cos
tunes. From the d. U. house came a
portly lady wheeling a huge baby
carriage, in which a babe of $50
pounds rested. This lady did not
leave the vehicle at any time but
carried it even to the upper floors of
the recitation buildings, and oft
would appear with the squaling brat
just when the dignified professor had
settled down to his lecture. The
class room door would open and in
spite Of the protest Of the learned
man the carriage would proceed in
and out among the rows of applaud
ing students. The morning chapel
exercises boosted a record attend
ance, and the dust was swept from
pew after pew A song was in pro-
gress, when suddenly wave of
laughter swept across the chapel and
drowned the valiant efforts of the
faculty and organist:' A solemn pro-
cession. proceeded down the main
aisle to the very front seats. There
were pink costumes, yellow costumes.

WatervilIe Apathetic Daylight Savina

From all present indications, the
question of daylight saving for Wat
erville will be given the go by this
year. The matter was touched upon
recently at the meeting of the Re-
tail Merchants Bureau and it was
then expected that some further ac-
ton would be taken. Subsequent
developments. or rather the lack of
them. show very plainly that there is
decided indifference to the matter,
Nobody seems to care whether Wat.
cfville has daylight saving or not.
Last year the city government voted
against such n measure. This was
followed by a petition from the mer-
chants asking for a reversal of their
decision. but II WIS not Forthcoming.
Whether this action has dampened
the ardor of daylight saving support
'rs and caused them to be q little
fearful to put their question to the
test again this spring, or whether
they were finally satisfied with the
way things went last year, may only
Dc conjectured. But the fact remains,
= there is very little interest-and
nobody's going to stir ii up. There
may be question of opening and
closing time raised by the merchants,
bat otherwise the daylight saving
question in Watcrvillc seems to have
Slipped into innocuous esuetude.
