When you are making a cake, after
creaming the shortening and sugar,
add or 3 tablespoonfuls of sifted
flour to the mixture, stirring in well
before adding the eggs. You will find
that there is then no separation of
the ingredients, as is usually the case.
For the children: Prepare your
regular cake recipe, making the dough

and Toured cornbread pan. Ice all

so easily as cake that ID sliced, and
they are easy to serve ct children's

ARMS RECENTLY
SEIZED AT LAREDO

EAGLE PASS, Jan. 5.-R-Fear
OF q revolt by po itical or religious
enemies Of the Mexican govern
ment has caused extraordinary pre-
cautions to be taken along the bor-
der against an uprising, especially
with the aid OF arms smuggled in
from the United States.
The recent c0nfiScation Of 1000
rounds OF rifle ammunition at La
redo, outbreaks In which rebel bands
OF small size cut telephone lines
and attempted TO burn bridges In
the Allende. Mexico, district, efforts
of agitators to arouse sentiment
against the Mexican government
by speeches to Mexican residents
In the United States and the Sci
zure OF suspicious literature in aids

closely watch every potential danger

lean presidency. Villarreal claimed
he was defeated by unfair tactics.

available at the rate Of $1,000 O
year to assist the county In its
maintenance.
In addition. Judge Dancy said,
the unit probably will receive an
other $500 a year from the state,
in event there is a state appropria-
ton for the purpose, which appears
likely.
While unwilling to make any
statement regarding. the cost Of the
unit. Dancy did point out that IN
1892. the last year in which Cam
eron county operated a health unit,
the county spent SIG. 394.89 for pub
lie health and charity. which in
cluded approximately 5000 state
and federal money. leaving the net
cost TO the county at approximately
$23. 900 for the year.
Against this he quoted the coun-
ty auditors figures of money spent
by the county In 1888, when there
was no health unit. for public
health and charity, as s29. 1892 8 or
roughly $500 more than was spent
the previous year under the health
unit system.
Cooperation Of the u. S. Public
Health service in furnishing free
toxins. free treatment for rabies and
other items probably would amount
to almost as much as actual cash
received from the federal depart
ment. Dancy said.
Cites Malaria Situation
Citing the malaria situation in the
county as an example, Dancy main
tanned that the present health set
up Of the county does not adequate
ly protect the health of the county.
and that preventative measures
which form a part of the activity
OF a health unit are needed, espec-
tally at this time.
At a recent meeting of the Cam
eron County Medical Society estab-
hshment OF a county health unit
IN accordance with plans laid out
by the Texas State Board Of health
was unanimously endorsed. The Soc
iety made its endorsement on the
basis OF a report by a committee
appointed for the purpose. Further.
the society recommended that a
county health council be named by
the commissioners court with a
personnel Of four physicians, one
representative from the county Par
ent Teacher association, one rep
reSentative from the service clubs
OF the county and one from the
press.
At a meeting in San Benito Fri
day night the association designat-
ed Dr.. G. M. Cash. DR.. <. r. Nor
ris Of San Benito, DR.. G. w. Edger-
ton Of Harrington and DR.. r. r.
Breeder OF Brownsville members In
event the court decides to establish
the health council.
Although the Cameron County
Medical Society has endorsed es-
adjustment OF a unit, the ranks Of
the county's physicians are not un-
animous in favor of the unit and
it Is thought likely that a delega-
ton of those opposing the project
will appear at the next meeting of
the commissioners court to express
their disapproval.
1t Is understood that a commit
tee from the county medical society
will also appear before the commits
sioners to advocate the unit.
