Always 'nix your cake in an earthen bowl.. -y The order in which ingredients are combined is most important. Measure dry ingredients and mix and sift baking powder and spices, if used, with flour. Flour is always measured after be- ing sifted. Fruit, when added to cake, is usual- ly floured to prevent settling to the bottom. 'nip. is not necessary if it is added directly atter the sugar, which is desirable in all dark cakes.

Slack the lime thoroughly and the steam erisl.ng from the mixture will remove bad odors in the cellar: Pow- dered borax is -t good disinfectant to scatter around the, floor and corners of a damp cellar. Chloride of lime is an excellent deodorizer and an inex- pensive substance to use for purify- ing, thc air in damp, ill -smelling places. Charcoal has great powers of absorption and a few bags hung up in the cellar will act as a 'deodorizer. and absorb moisture. Powdered slack lime will also prevent the musty and mouldy odors which are prevalent in many damp" cellars. Because of the cellar being out of sight the conditions there may become very bad before demanding attention. Such conditions should not be tolerat- ed, especially when the room is used as a place for storing food products. A few hours time can` be very profit- ak1.y used in protecting the food stor- ed tored in' the cellar as it undoubtedly bearsa greatinfluenec on the general health of the fa ally.

Sun. ase - LIFE -SAVING DOGS. Intelligent Animals- Trained to Search For Wounded. 1 If there is any gratitude in man- kind we shall treat oer dogs with even greater affection after the war than we have bestowed upon; them in the nest. Thousands of lives have been saved on the battlefield by our canine friends. TheFrench and the Germans in par- ticular have used dogs -in connection with ambulance'wox•k. The Germans claim, indeed, that over 8,000 wounded men owe their lives . to these four footed' searchers., -,The dogs are so knowing that they can easily tell the difference between,, a dead man and ,a man who merely looks dead. They waste no time over the ` former, but; immediately raise the alarm over the latter. Sometimes they bring back a cap to indicate their discovery, after which they lead the ambulance men to the spot. But a more effective method` is employed; by means of a small, sau- sage-shaped piece of leather attached to the dogs' collars. When a dog finds a wounded soldier it takes the leather piece in its mouth and returns to its trainer. If, on' the other hand, the dog conies back with the piece•of lea- ther still depending from the collar this is a signal that` it has sought iii vain:' And some people still believe that dogs have scant intelligence! ❖ Ottawa Boy's Wit. Duringthe last heavy thaw that caused quite a number of puddles` on Bank street, Ottawa, one afternoon a smartly dressed young man was try- ing his best to avoid wetting his new` tan boots. As he came to a rather large puddle he hesitated a few mo- ments before crossing. Two boys were walking behind him, and one said to the other: "Gee, Ted, look at that guy, he's afraid of getting his feet wet." To which"the other re, plied: "You bet, Bill, that's why he hasn't enlisted, he's afraid of cross- ing the water."
