A glass of milk and a slice of cake is ideal, but many moth- ers seem to feel that cake is rather a luxury these times. - Home-made cakes calling for large quantities of butter and eggs are un- doubtedly expensive, but there are sev- eral recipes which eliminate these commodities and are still quite good. The best shortening for these cheaper cakes is dripping, in fact, some cooks always prefer it to butter, and it is so rich in fact that if a re- cipe calls for one-quarter pound of _ butter, three ounces of dripping is suf- ficient. Another advantage is that the cake remains moist longer, keep- ing fresh for a week or more. But --and this is an important but--the dripping and fat must be properly clarified. Cut up, put in a_ clean, saucepan and cover with cold water, Then bring slowly to a boil and skim well. Pour into a bowl and leave to get cold. The impurities will all go to the bottom. In making any kind of cake sift the flour both to prevent the possibility of lumps and to make the cake lighter and more digestible. The directions for baking as given in the following recipe are to be ap- plied to all: : Plain Fruit Cake.--One-half pound of flour, three ounces of dripping, one- quarter pound of currants, one ounce of candied peel, about five table- spoonfuls of milk, one teaspoonful of baking powder, two ounees of sugar, two ounces of stoned raisins, one egg, ~ apinch of salt. Mix the baking pow- der and salt with the flour, and pass all through the sieve into a_ basin. Cut the dripping into tiny pieces, and rub these into the flour with the tips of~your fingers until the flour looks like fine breadcrumbs. Add the sug- ar, currants, raisins and candied peel and, if you like, a grating of nutmeg or lemon peel, as e flavoring. Make a hollow in the center of the mixed ingredients and pour in half the | beaten egg, mixing thoroughly with a -. wooden spoon. Add two tablespoon- - fuls of milk to the remainder of the egg, and work this into the paste. If the paste seems too stiff, add a little more milk. Stir thoroughly for about a minute, then turn into the cake-tin and put into the oven as quickly as possible. Don't open the oven door for ten minutes, the top.

Roll out half an inch thick, cut into squares, and bake on a greased tin for twenty min- utes. The oven should be hot. Pancake Batter. Pancakes are very easily made "when once you know how to do it." There are several secrevs in the ac- complishment, and the first is in get- ting a beautifully smooth batter. Take a clean, cold, deep bowl and into it sieve four ounces of flour and add a pinch of salt and one level tablespoon- ful of caster sugar. Now with the wooden spoon gather the flour up the sides of the bowl, leaving a well in the center, round which the flour rises in an absolutely smooth wall. This smoothness is one of the first secrets; the flour must be gathered up with the spoon quite regularly all round the bowl and then gently pressed with the back of the spoon till it presents this smooth appearance. Next break two nice fresh eggs into two teacups; this should be done so} gently that the yolk and the white are not mixed. Have also ready half a pint of sweet milk. Now drop one egg out gf the cup into the very cen- ter of the basin. Take the wooden spoon and begin to stir the egg very gently round, always stirring in the | one direction. The spoon must be} kept so entirely in the center that it, never touches the flour wall, the flour! being gathered grain by grain by the} white of the egg. It is only by this ' gradual process that perfect success | can be attained, but even this will fail | to produce a smooth batter if the, spoon is allowed to cease stirring for } one second. When the first egg has absorbed its | proportion of flour, drop in the other | egg and work it in the same gentle, | |steady way; then, when the second) \egg is also finished, pour in very, very | |earefully just a tiny bit of milk at a| |time and continue doing so, stirring | 'as above until all the flour has crept} into the batter, grain by grain. If these instructions have been followed | exactly, a batter as smooth as cream} will now be the result.

The habit of taking digestive pills after meals makes chronic dyspeptics of many thousands of men and women because artificial digestents, drugs and medicines have practically no influence upon the excessively acid condition of the stomach contents which is the cause of most forms of indigestion and dys- pepsia. The after cinner pill merely lessens the sensitiveness of the stomach nerves and thus gives a false sense of freedom from pain. If those who are subject to indigestion, gas, flatulence, belching, bloating, heartburn, ete., after eating would get about an ounce of pure bis- urated magnesia from their druggist and take a teaspoonful in a little water after meals, there would be no further neces- sity for drugs or medicines because bi- Surated magnesia instantly neutralizes stomach acidity, stops food fermenta- tion and thus insures normal, painless digestion by enabling the stomach to do its work without hindrance. - In Exalted Company. One of the members of a commit- tee of inspection on its tour of a cer- tain penitentiary found himself in conversation with one of the convicts. The latter was disposed to be confid- ential, and thus unburdéned himself. "It's a terrible thing to be known by a number instead cf a name, and to feel that all my life I shall be an object of suspicion among the police." -"But you will not be alone, my friend" said the- visitor consolingly. "The same thing happens to people who own automobiles." No Gift. A business-like man stepped into a butcher's shop.

"IT did the best I could for you," said the other, with a touch of sever- ity. "If I'd treated you as some men would have done, I should just have let you walk straight into the trap." Flower gave an apologetic cough. "T've had a lot of worry lately, Jack," he said, humbly; "come in and have something. Perhaps it will clear my head a bit.' : "T told 'em you wouldn't be back till twelve at least," said the mate, as Flower rapidly diagnosed his com- plaint and ordered whisky, "perhaps not then, and that when you did turn up you'd sure to be the worse. for liquor. The old lady said she'd wait all night for the pléasure of seeing your bonny face, and as for your be- ing drunk, she said she don't suppose there's a woman in London that has had more experience with drunken men than she has," "Let this be a warning to you, Jack," said the skipper, solemnly, as he drained his glass and put it thoughtfully on the counter. "Don't you trouble about me," said Fraser; "you've got all you can do to look after yourself. 'I've come out to look for a policeman; at least, that's what I told them." : "All the police in the world couldn't do me any good," sighed Flower. "Poppy's got tickets for a concert to- night, and I was going with her. I can't go like this." "Well, what are you going to do?" inquired the other. _ Flower shook his head and ponder- ed. "You go back and get rid of them the best way you can," he -- said, at} length, "but whatever you do, don't have a scene. I'll stay here till you come and tell me the coast is clear." "And suppose it don't clear?" said Fraser. "Then Ill pick you up at Green- wich in the morning," said Flower. "And suppose they've still aboard?" said Fraser. worth playing." No objection being raised, the mas- terful lady drew closer to the table, and concentrating energies of no mean order on the game, successfully play- ed hands of unvarying goodness, aide by a method of pegging which migh perhaps be best described as dot and carry one. , "You haven't seen anything of this Mr. Robinson since you were here with satisfaction that both ladies gave occasional uneasy glances at the clock. "No, an' not likely to," said Mrs. Tipping; "fifteen two, fifteen four, fif- teen six, and a pair's eight." "Where's the fifteen six?" inquired Fraser, glancing over. "Bight and seven," said the lady, pitching the cards with the others and beginning to shuffle for the next deal. "It's. very strange. behavious," said the mate; "Robinson,"I mean. Do you think he's dead?" "No, I don't," said Mrs. Tipping, briefly. '"Where's that captain of yours?" Fraser, whose anxiety was be- coming too much for his play, leaned over the table as though about to speak, and then, apparently thinking better of it, went on with the game. "Eh?" said Mrs. Tipping, putting her cards face downwards on the table and catching his eyes. "Where?" "Oh, nowhere," said Fraser, awk- wardly. "I don't want to be drag- ged into this, you know. It isn't my business." "If you know where he is, why can't you tell us?" asked Mrs. Tipping, soft- ly. | "There's no harm in that." "What's the good?" inquired Fraser, in a low voice; "when. you'ye seen the old man you won't be any forwarder --he wouldn't tell you anything, even if he knew it."

"T hope you didn't get into trouble through my coming aboard the other night," said Miss Tipping, softly. "Don't say anything about it," re- plied the mate, eyeing her admiringly. "Td do more than that for you, if I could." Miss Tipping, catching her moth- er's eyes, bestowed upon her a glance of complacent triumph. "You don't mind us coming down here, do you?" she said, languishing- ly. re "I wish you'd live here," said the unscrupulous Fraser; "but of course I know you only come here to try and see that fellow Robinson," he added, gloomily. "T jike to see you, too," was the reply. "I like you very much, as a _| friend." The mate in a melancholy voice thanked her, and to the great annoy- ance of the cook, who had received strict orders from the forecastle to listen as much as he could, sat in sil- ence while the table was cleared. "What do you say to a hand at cards?" he said, after the cook had finally left the cabin. _ -|blandly, "yer payin' fer it."

"That'll gep me into trouble, if any- thing will," said the mate, gloomily. "On the other hand, if I tell you where he is now, that'll get me into trouble, too." He sat back and drummed on the table with his fingers, edly to her feet, but Mrs. Tipping, eye- ing the young man with. a pair of shrewd, small eyes, kept her seat. "And while we're going, how do we go off with th ship?" she inquired. Fraser hesitated. 'Well, Pll come "And suppose they go away and ping. "Oh, well, you'd better stay then," said the mate, wearily, "unless we take a couple of the hands with us. How would that suit you? They can't sail with half a crew."
