to mash it, and the preserves 'will
hot be nice. Let boil for half an
hour; take out a little of the syrup,
and if it begins to jell when cool,
take the kettle from the fire; if not,
boil a little longer, testing. When
done, pack in fruit jars and seal. If
liked, when the fruit is nearly done,
slice in a lemon, cut very thin one
lemon for each gallon of fruit.
If liked, the peelings and cores (if
not wormy or specked) may be boiled
until soft, the water .strained off and
made into jelly; or it may bo used
with the sugar to make the syrup,
instead of clear water.
Cake Making
Answering several . inquiries, we
copy the following directions in re
gard to cake-making, given by Fan
nie Merritt Farmer, in the "Woman's
Home Companion: "To be success
ful in cake-making one must have
at .hand the. best of ingredients; must
itake great pains in measuring
and combining the ingredients; must
have the pans properly prepared;
must regulate the oven heat; and
must watch the cake during the bak
ing. The best of tub butter, fine
granulated sugar, fresh eggs and
pastry Hour, are among the essen
tials, A wooden cake-spoon with
slits is an admirable utensil for cake
making. The essential to a fine
grain in cakes is beating, beating,
beating. Never stir a cake after the
final beating, and always remember
that the beating motion should bo
the last used. Grease pans with
molted butter, using a butter brush,
then dredge with flour, invert, and
shako pan to remove all superfluous
flour. This gives the cake a smooth
under surface which is especially de
sirable if the cako is to be frosted.
In filling cake-pans, have the mix
ture come well to the corners and
sides of the pans, leaving a slight
depression in the center; then, when
baked, the cake should be perfectly
smooth on top. The baking of the
cake is much more critical than the
mixing. If the cako mixture is put
in loo slow an oven, it often rises
over the sides of the pan and makes
the cako of very coarse texture; if
put In too hot an oven, it browns on
top beforo it has completely risen,
and in its attempt to rise, breaks
through the crust. Cakes will also
crack on top if too much flour has
been used. In baking cakes, divide
the time required into quarters.
During the first quarter, the mixture
Should begin to rise; second quarter,
continue rising and begin to brown;
third quarter, continue browning;
fourth quarter, finish baking and
shrink from tho pan." It is true
that many women seem "natural
cake-bakers," judging from results;
but in this, as in everything else,
"genius is the capacity for taking
infinite pains."
than turpentine, as turpentine Is npt
to remove tho color as well. Only
the purest turpontino should bo used
for removing stains, as tho impure
spirits loaves a stain.
To remove shine from black cloth,
rub tho shiney place with a piece of
flannel dipped in pure spirits of tur
pentine; put the garmont out of
doors until tho smell is ovaporatod.
RELIES UPON THE PEOPLE
Charleston Nowb and Courier:
Mr. Bryan's speech to tho notifica
tion committee yesterday is highly
creditable to him, and must be grat
ifying to tho country. It is full of
inspiration to his party. Tho ques
tion of the present campaign is
"Shall tho people rule?" This Is
tho issue Mr. Bryan relies upon
the people of the country for his
election; Mr. Taft depends upon the
money of tho corporations for his
success. "Choose ye this day whom
you will serve!"

Weights and Measures
Tho family cook is not always sup
plied with the necessary scales, and
it would be a good thing to pasts
this table in a conspicuous place in
the kitchen for reference:
Three cupfuls of wheat flour one
pound; three and one-half cupfuls of
eom meal one pound. Orio large
teacupful of white sugar half a
pound. One large teacupful of-brown
sugar half a pound. One and a
half large cupfuls of butter one
pound. One cupful of seeded raisins,
hrfl fit" yu mmPTehWeggs, one
jiound. White of one egg one
ounce. YoJk of ono.egg--one ounce.
Four, teaspopnfuls-roue tableapoon
ful. TWo tablespoonfuls one ounce.
One teaspoonful .one fluid dram.
Four. . tablespoonfuls one-half gill.
Cups and., spoons vary so much in
size that one wishing to have. accur
ate measures to insure success with
I recipes should have a glass measur
ing cup. Measuring cups for large
quantities can be had in tin,
agate, or other materials, but for
small measures, the glass measur
ing cup can bo very useful.
Removing Stains
Nearly all kinds of fruit stains
can be removed if taken when frc3h,
before they have been touched by
soap and water, if the spot is
stretched over a bowl and boiling wa
ter poured onto it from a height suf
ficient to" strike tho spot with some
force. For peach stain, however,
this will not do. Soaked 1n javelle
water, the stain usually disappears,
as javelle water will take out almost
any color. For removing the otain
from colored garments, t rub with
spirits of camphor.
For fresh ink stains, dip tho spot
in milk, changing the milk as long
as there is any discoloration. If the
ink is dried, soak the stain in coal
oil, and leave in tho oil until re
moved. Fresh stains of any kind
come out easier than dried ones.
To remove cider stains from linen
or cotton, use salts of lemon before
washing. Buy the salts a """tie at
a time, and ask the druggist fo in
structions as to use. Be sure to
rinse well after the stain is removed.
Tn remove tea stains from white
woolens, cover the stained part with
gin, soaking it, then rub while still
wet, with a piece of tho same ma
terial. ' ,
