rn THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY. ' APRIL 10. 1021. How to Make GoodCake By Loretto C. Lynch. No nutter whether a woman ever baUes anvlliiiiflf rise it ie lirr ambition to be able to nuke a good cake. The aim of tlits article is to simplify the art of cake making io that the aver age housewife can be successful. In the first place know that you have a good oven. If you use a coal stove anaiiRe to tlo your cooking at the beginning of the day. !f you have an oil-heated oven arrange to have it hot when the cake is ready. City dwellers have frequent failures be cause of their gas Ganges. In many apartments the ranges are the prop erty of the gas company, and, having been used by former , tenants, are sometimes harily in need oi repair. Then there are certain implements required to make the making of a cake a pleasure rating than a task. Two mixing bowls, a smaller bowl for beating eggs, a standard half pint measuring cup. a tablespoon, a teaspoon, a palette knife or spatula, a Dover egg beater, a whisk egg beater, a sifter, a wooden paddle or spoon and baking pans. Before beginning to make a cake see that you have all the ingredients ox hand that the recipe calls for. By measuring the dry ingredients first, then the liquid and lastly the fat (.shortening), the same cup may be used. Flour, sugar, spiers and any other dry ingredient should be sifted BE f6rF. it is measured. Shortening should be" soft enough to round up easily on the spoon. Butter or any other shortening that is very hard, may be softened to the proper con sistency by leaving it in a warm room for a short time or by adding to the approximate quantity a table spoon of boiling water before meas uring. The shortening should not be melted unless your recipe speci fically directs that it be melted. Following are some excellent re cipes. If you do not wish to try the whole recipe, take one-half or one-fourth of each ingredient called for. All measurements should be taken level. v Plain White Cake. One'half cup butter, one cup . sugar, two cups flour, three level teaspoons of baking powder, three egg whites, two-thirds cup milk (about), one-half teaspoon flavoring extract. Cream the butter. Add the sugar gradually. Sift the flour with the baking powder three times. To the creamed butter and flour add a little ." flour then a little milk and so , pn alternately until all the flour is used , and the mixture is a drop batter. The amount of milk required varies with the kind of flour used. Add flavoring. Fold in the stifly-beaten egg whites and bake the batter either in two layer-pans or in a loaf. Caramel Icing. Cook two and one-half cups light $ brown sugar with one and one-quarter cups of evaporated milk. When it forms a soft ball when tried in cold water, add one tablespoon but ter and one teaspoon vanilla. Re move at once from the fire and beat until of the right consistency to "spread. The plain white cake may be va ried. Melted chocolate may be added to the mixture and a snow white frosting spread over the cake when it is baked. Or the cake may be baked as a white cake and adorned with chocolate fudge frosting. Chocolate Fudge Frosting. Cook together, one cup granulated sugar, one cup light brown sugar, one cup milk, two squares bitter chocolate or three tablespoons co coa, until it forms a soft ball when Leave My Office With A Smile And Why Day after day people come to my office with very sensi tive teeth to be extracted. The aching teeth and the thoughts of terrible pain while the ex traction is taking place make the average human very un easy until after the process is over. But after the work is com pleted and the teeth were ex tracted with no pairi whatso ever the patient leaves my office with a smile. Again I say: "If there is pain during the extraction your money will be cheer fully refunded." All work leaving this office is open to inspection by any State's Dental Board. Dr. W.

You love order, ele gance and beauty, and, as a rule, like large, spacious rooms, with plenty of light and air. Of music and dancing yo are the greatest lovers. As soon as music is beard, the lite forces start within you, and it is hard for them to keep still. You have a great deal of elec trical fire nature in you. Your at mosphere is full of motion and active elements. You are intense ly individual, fur ther, sayeth the stars, . and have a personality that impresses itself on all those who come in contact with you. You are natural reasoners and thinkers; your brain, always busy, is the most active function of the body. Scientific thought, pholosophv, and educational pursuits have widest ap peal to you. Independent of charac ter, you are with your own ideas of right and wrong. You are stubborn, but can be controlled through rea son. You are thrown into confusion if you are required to do work in the same manner as someone else. You have to do it your own way; kno.v the how, why, and wherefore of your doing it.

I couldn't see your face, my dear, when you were at the other side of the room, but I was quite certain it was you, for I recognized the dress. 2. How wonderfully that material wears. You certainly haven't been able to get materials like that since the war. 3. How can you keep your clothes so long? You must take remarkable care of them I tried in cold water.

Olc Eitner,. who won the second prize In the KtihellK-Sevoik contest at the Itnaca Conservatory of Music, received her foundation from Frank Macb, who had been her instructor for 5 years. The following; are but few few of the many press comments received here: Omaha Bee: Musicians and laymen were alike in enthusiastic praise of this wonderful little lady, who plays with a taste and understanding far in advance of her years. Omaha World-Herald: Olga Eitner showed exceptional talent and ex ceptional training. Excelsior: She plays with perfect ease and confidence, which, conplsd with an altogether charming manner, has won the little girl the unqualified praise and admiration of Omaha musicians and music lovers. Examiner: Olga Eitner, with remarkable ease and composure, played to splendid advantage a number of difficult selections, showing excellent technic and an abundance of temperament. Nonpareil: She plays with all the temperament and technic of a finished musician. Musical Courier: Leonard Liebling, Editor-in-Chief, says, "Frank Maeh is one of the most ambitious and serious-minded pedagogues v.-e have met in a Ions while; Olga Eitner played two numbers for us in which she revealed evidences of very careful 'schooling: her firm bowing, decisive attack, clean technic and agreeable tone, being outstanding features of the performance." Mr. Mach received a personal letter from Sevcik in which the latter paid a nice tribute to both the Teacher and the Pupil. My Dear Mr. Mach: Ithaca. N. Y., March 9th, 1921. I was astonished to find Miss Olga Eitner so well prepared and so far ad vanced in her work. I take this opportunity to congratulate you on such ex cellent pupils as Miss Eitner is. Very Sincerely Yours, (Signed) OT. SEVCIK. FRANK MACH, solo violinist and instructor, herewith respectfully submits a few true facts pertaining to the selection of a good instructor. Select a Teacher who has the reputation of producing artistic pupils from the very beginning. Don't take anybody'a word that Mr. Sa and So is a first class instructor, but investigate personally, as the country is full of would-be teachers of music who don't know the first principle of music. The same- ac quire pupils through polished personality and flattery or other means. There are many teachers who advertise as having studied or taught in various conservatories and are unable to make good by their own efforts. Some take the advanced pupils of other teachers and advertise them as their own, thereby getting the credit that belongs to someone who can produce results. The pupils should get a thorough training from the very beginning, aa the wrong impressions stick and when once acquired are hard to eradicate. Some of the finest talent ia the world has been spoiled by a wrong start. Many children have been blamed for not having talent because their playing or singing sonnded very bad. Only hard, conscientious work on both the teacher's and pupil's Vrt will develop or bring out the talent. It is a waste of time, money and energy to get a wrong start. : i PilM ention. Mo Chloroform.

Occasionally one sees a young woman whose nails look as if they have been glassed by means of the nail buffer and the various pol ishing preparations with which the market is flooded. Cut among women of fashion the high polish has been abandoned. It is only the trailers of fashion who make little mirrors of their finger nails. No longer are nails cut and fited to an extreme point, nor are they allowed to grow long. Perhaps the fact that wflmen more than ever be fore are engaging in some useful occupation has had something to do with this. The hand with extremely long and highly polished nails has always been the hand of indolence. This does not mean that one may be neglectful of the ' nails. They should be trimmed and fflcd regular ly -so that the nails extend a very little further than the end of the finger pad and take an oval shaoe. klightly more accentuated than the oval of the finger flesh. The nails should be slightly polished and the cuticle to use the expression of manicurists, though of course all skin is cuticle should be kent welt off the nails without bruising them. I he nails should not be filed or clipped off too closely to the finerer at the side. The better manicurists no longer do this. Very few men of taste ever had a high polish on their nails. And now it is particularly avoided. A man wears his nails slightly shorter than does a m woman, and anything that suggests a pointed end is considered effeminate. Care of Thermos.

In leading hospitals yeast has been found successful in treating these common ail ments. Usually cases of boils were -either cured or greatly improved within two weeks. Acne cases also cleared up quickly. For pimples and boils eat from 1 to 3 cakes a day. In cases of boils and acute cases of acne do not fail to see your phy sician.

It tends to restore the nor mal condition of the bowels. And it cannot form a habit. For constipation eat from 1 to 3 cakes of Fleischmann's Yesst a day. Table Etiquette For Children I A careful mother who aims to have her children acquire what she calls "good eating habits" has arrived at ?.n original way of doing this.

The child is then taught to take a bite of each one in turn.

A SCRAWNY, lethargic animal, rapidly dwindling in size, will completely change its appearance in a few days at most on a diet unchanged except for a tiny bit of yeast." This is how one noted scientist describes the almost incredible results of experiments with yeast, the richest known source of the newly discovered water-soluble "vitamine." One mysterious element of food on which we are dependent for full vigor! Primitive man secured an abundance of vitamine from his raw, uncooked foods and green, leafy vegetables. But modern diet constantly refined and modified is too often badly deficient in this vital element. This explains why it is that so many people have "nothing , the matter with them," yet never enjoy full vigor and health. Physicians say they are vitaminc starved. Day after day, they are failing to get enough of this single food clement which supplies vigor and zest. Vitamines exist in various common foods notably in the leafy. vegetables; but we seldom get enough to give us the vigor and store of surplus energy we all should have. lexis is excellent ', tandwieh filler.

Yeast may be eaten at any time with or between meals. One precaution: Those who are troubled with gas should dissolve yeast first in boiling water.
