| ingredients which go into a cake
Cakes should be allowed to cool on a
wire cooler so that the air can circu-
| late around them. As soon as a cake
is cool it may be frosted or iced. The
care Of cakes after baking is impor-
tant. The longer they are exposed to
the air, the more quickly the cake dries
out.
Much food Is wasted because 1t Is
cooked at wrong temperatures. A
candy thermometer is a labor-saving
to test the thermometer before using
each time by putting it in boiling water
and testing it. II the thermometer
says that water boils at 80 degrees in
stead of 100 degrees, you should cook
your icing to lis degrees instead of 116
degrees, or to ia degrees instead of
lis degrees. When making icing, the
degree to which the sugar-sirup Is
cooked varies with the amount Of egg
white to be used. When using one egg
white, cook the sirup to lis degrees; if
two are used, cook it to 116 degrees.

temperature. The texture varies with

If it is too hard add a teaspoonful or

To Soften Citron.
Place the citron in a sieve or colander
over a steaming teakettle or pan OF
boiling water. Cover the colander or
sieve with a bowl to that the steam
does not escape quickly. Leave the
citron exposed to the steam for 5 or
10 minutes, then set it aside until it
stiffens If it is cut too quickly it VIII
be very sticky and will require more
flour than it should. Citron which has
become very hard may be handled very
easily if treated in this way.
Powdered sugar sometimes becomes
hard and lumpy. Run 1t through
food chopper, using the medium knife,
and then it may be used for icing as
well as If it had not hardened.
Nut Substitutes.
Pumpkin seeds are recommended as
new nut. Apricot stones may be
dried and the kernels used in candy,
cake and cookies. They have deli
cious flavor all their own. During the
peach season collect all the peach
stones you can. When the peach stones
are cracked their contents removed and
Drowned, they are excellent to use in
place of almonds in any kind of candy.
Plan to use up plain cakes quickly,
as they become stale sooner than rich
cakes made with several eggs and
plenty of fat.

Mr.. Murphy Would Restore
Agriculture
DR.. Albert ShaW's Editorial in
January issue Of Review of Re-
views and Worlds Work.

Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt and the
Democratic leaders are fully aware
that they must do something to help
farm conditions if they are not to be
overwhelmed by the bitter disappoint-
ment of the agricultural interests not
alone Of the West and South, but Of
Mr.. RooSevelt'S own state of New York,
Conservative economists have been in
clined to think that agriculture must
lind its own adjustments. But behind
the pressure that resulted in the agri-
cultural tariff rates following Mr..
Hoovers election, and in the bold pol
lcies OF the Farm Board, there was a
sense OF conditions so unusual and so
extreme that remedies must be in
vented in defiance of economic ortho-
doxy. If We are to do something about
agriculture, it would be well to con-
slider afreSh the main facts that lie
at the base OF the farm problem.
There were ample markets at good
prices for our farm products a dozen
years ago. What has happened to
change the picture so rapidly?
Nowhere have we seen an answer to
this question that 1t 50 convincing in its
array Of contrasting facts as that
which is presented by Mr.. Frederick
E. Murphy In his article on agriculture

and familiar with all our economic
problems. especially as related to the
states Of the Northwest. It is his
habit Of mind to think things
through; and his views about agricul-
ture In relation to the depression
that has continued through loss Of
purchasing power-have commanded
respect and influence.
We shall not try in these comments
to summarize Mr.. Murphy's facts or
conclusions, all Of which he states
lucidly and with due brevity. He
points out the amazing rapidity with
which new methods have increased
our production aggregates, within a
very few years. New methods Of me-
chanical production as applied to agri-
culture have brought startling
changes. as Mr.. Murphy shows us.
He is the more impressive. because
when he tells us that the situation
clearly enough calls for desperate
remedies" he Is as little excited as If
he we're demonstrating . problem in
geometry.
BY way of showing that he has the
full courage Of his convictions. he
points out seven modes Of approach
to those who would adopt . remedial
program. We think. his fourth and
fifth points should be accepted and
acted upon without delay. His sixth
point Is beyond immediate control,
but Is under discussion. His second
and third points are not so incon-
sistent with tariff reform and trade
expansion, Or with the views ably ex.
pressed II this number by Mr.. G. T.
Revere on the wat debts, g casual
readers might suppose. Mr.. Murphy
and Mr.. Revere could probably agree
on most points Of program for asri-
cultural recovery. Points one and
seven have to do with problems Of
land utilization. and are sound In
principle but would reuire time for
large and effective results.

Repeated Crimes.

IF our criminals plaGiari1e
from the past" remarked Thatcher
Colt, ''why not our detectives?''
In both the Anna Aumuller case
and the Geraldine Foster mystery,
the pillow case was unusual and
expensive. The slip was Of fine
texture and should have come
from shop that dealt in the finest
quality Of linens. Yet the pillow
case. for all its fine quality. wa
a gaudy affair with rosebuds en-
broidered on it.
Thatcher Colt then told his thir.
ty detectives what he wished them
to do. He was talking to men
distinguished not for their imag.
ination, their education, or their
intelligence. Instead, they were
known, like bulldogs, for nettine
their teeth into something and re.
fusing to let 60. This job to which
he assigned them was q hewing.

Ten Suggestions

Petitioning the legislature is an ok
practice in this and other states ane
a good one, but it is too often confined
to plea for a specific piece of legis.
lation in which the personal interes,
is obvious.
This commentary, however, cannot
be levelled at the fine petition pre-
sented Monday by Senator Nels Mag.
nuson on behalf of his constituents
III Bottineau county.
The petition contains some items
about which there may be honest diff
ferences Of opinion. Some of them
may be dictated by purely local con-
siderationS and inapplicable to the
state as a whole. But one thing is
beyond argument, this is the fact
that the petitioners have surveyed the
state situation, according to their own
light, and have formed definite ideas
regarding what to do about it.
They have taken the position that
the state and its institutions can be
justified only by the results OF its
operations upon the people. It may be
a radical view but 1t Is one which
must be considered if We are to have
progress.
No one doubts that the Frazier bill,
or something like it, is badly needed.
It offers way to get out from under
the tremendous burden Of debt which
is handicapping everyone.
Proposed adjustment of license fees
on motor cars and trucks appears to
be in line with the popular will: ex-
tension of time for giving tax deeds
also Is pertinent. Some method Of
collecting taxes on land foreclosed by
state agencies is an imperative need
to many school districts.
The moratorium. of course, has been
definitely disposed OF by the people
themselves and it probably would do
little good to bring it before the leg
islature.
But whether one agrees with all of
the ideas suggested Is not the import
ant thing. The nub of the whole mat
ter is that these petitioners from Bot
tineau county-and nearly everyone
else in the state-is taking a deeper
interest in state affairs. They are
considering ways in which the press
ing exigencies may be met. Their
voice is worth hearing.
