The Mrs. Van Deusen Cake Molds.— We 
received from Mr. C. A. Chapman, two 
of these molds containing samples of 
Mr. and Mrs. Chapman’s Improved Angel 
Cake and the Van Deusen Gold Loaf. 
The cakes were simply perfect. The 
molds we have tried with our own cake 
recipes and have found them an improve¬ 
ment upon the ordinary cake pan in that 
they require neither grease nor paper at 
the bottom or sides, on account of hav¬ 
ing movable slides at the sides, thereby 
enabling the user to loosen the cake by 
means of a thin-bladed knife. Let the 
cake remain in the pan or mold until 
cold. The slides extend out beyond the 
pans, acting as rests to invert the pans 
upon while the cake cools, thus allow¬ 
ing a free circulation of air under the 
cake to prevent “sweating ” Run the 
knife around the sides, take out the 
slides, turn over on the hand and care¬ 
fully lift off the pan. We had no diffi¬ 
culty in getting the cake out at our first 
trial. These molds come in different 
shapes and sizes, as also for tube and 
layer cakes, and we cheerfully recom¬ 
mend them to our cubks. 
Fruit as Medicine. —A physician who 
makes a specia ty of skin diseases says 
that pimples, eruptions and similar skin 
diseases of the face that are not heredit¬ 
ary may be cured in a very short time by 
a d : et of laxative foods, varied according 
to the season. He advises ornamenting 
the table at each meal with whatever 
fruit is seasonable, and allowing the indi¬ 
vidual to be helped whenever and as 
often as he or she may desire. This serv¬ 
ing the fruit course at the end of the 
meal, when the appetite is appeased to 
repletion, is a great mistake. He says 
that if he feels like eating an orange or 
a handful of dates he does so, whether 
the soup has been served or not. When 
the dessert comes on the chances are 
even that he will not want any, but he 
considers this a gain, not a loss, for if the 
fruit hadn’t been eaten he would have 
When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla, 
When she was a Child, she cried for Castorla, 
When she became Miss, she clung to Castorla, 
When she had Children she gave them Castorla 
folded into quarters, of which the cor¬ 
ners are rounded. These are evenly 
scalloped, the scallops slashed, and the 
slashes cupped over the head of a hat 
pin, as with the hydrangea. These forms 
are now strung on wire, using first half 
of each shade from dark to light, then 
the remaining halves from dark to light 
again. The free end of the wire is bent 
into a hook, to which a r.bbon of har¬ 
monizing color is tied, as a means of sus¬ 
pending the ball. Whether the Cupid’s 
ball has the properties of the mistletoe 
is not stated ; it might have, we suppose. 
Renovating Wall Paper. —If the wall 
paper has lost its pristine glory and the 
family finances forbid the buying of 
fresh, something may be done towards 
improving its appearance at small ex¬ 
pense, says the World. 
The easier method of cleaning dusty, 
somewhat blackened wall paper is to arm 
one’s self with a broom and some canton 
flannel or soft cheese cloth. Tie the cloth 
over the broom, and with long, even, 
firm strokes, sweep the ceiling. The 
cloth on the broom must be changed fre¬ 
quently, for, if the wall is at all dirty, 
the flannel will soon be in such a condi¬ 
tion that to continue its use will merely 
smear the ceiling. The walls should be 
treated in the same way. 
Another way to clean dust and soot is 
to have on hand several loaves of stale 
bread and to use this instead of a broom 
and cloth. Thin slices should be cut off 
as soon as the crumbs become soiled. 
This method will surely clean the walls 
of dust and smoke, such as living rooms 
almost inevitably acquire. 
To remove grease spots, lay coarse 
brown paper over them, and pass a hot 
iron over it. Repeat the process until 
the spot disappears. 
Graham staff Of Life.— Bread is com¬ 
monly called the “ staff of life,” but 
when deprived of the most nutritious 
parts, as is all fine wheat flour from 
which the greater part of the bread used 
is made, it becomes a very weak staff 
to support the physical man. Compara¬ 
tively few use Graham flour to make 
bread, as it is hard for new beginners to 
get the “knack.” There are undoubt¬ 
edly many like my own family wio 
thought they did not like Graham bread 
unless it were like that made by the 
bakers, in which there is only a small 
per cent of Graham flour. After a great 
many trials and failures I have found a 
few ways in which Graham flour may be 
cooked and be much liked by all, espe¬ 
cially in bread. Though, perhaps, not 
so light as that made by the bakers, it 
is more healthful and nutritious. 
Graham Bread.—To one bowlful of 
Mothers. —Be sure to use “ Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup ” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Adv. 
sweet milk add one heaping tablespoon¬ 
ful of sugar, half as much salt, and one 
bowlful of Graham flour, or enough to 
make a good stiff batter that one can 
stir with a spoon, as there is a difference 
in different grades of flour. Add half a 
cupful of good yeast, and set in a warm 
place to rise. When light, stir in a half 
cupful more of Graham, turn the bread 
into a well-buttered bread pan for hold¬ 
ing one loaf, and let rise again, then 
bake in a good hot oven. It takes a lit¬ 
tle longer to bake than bread made 
from entire white flour, but one will 
have a genuine wlieaten loaf as health¬ 
ful as it is appetizing. 
Steamed Bread —To two cupfuls of 
sour milk add one-half cupful of molasses, 
a tea^poonful of salt and one of soda. 
Stir in three cupfuls of Graham flour, 
turn this into a well-buttered mold (I 
like a small half-gallon jar best), steam 
three hours and brown in the oven. This 
is to be eaten warm, and is almost as 
good as genuine “ brown bread.” 
Graham Gems. —Two cupfuls of sour 
milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, two 
tablespoonfuls of sugar and one tea¬ 
spoonful each of salt and soda. Stir 
into this two cupfuls of Graham and one- 
half cupful of flour. Have the gem pans 
hot when you turn in the batter, and 
bake in a good hot oven. We like them 
best eaten with cream and sugar. 
Graham Pudding. —Have ready a quart 
of boiling water in a double kettle, if 
you have one ; if not a porcelain lined 
one will do. Into this stir two cupfuls 
of Graham which has been stirred smooth 
in enough cold water to make it free 
from lumps. Add one teaspoonful of 
salt and oae cupful of raisins. After it 
boils well set on the back of the stove 
to simmer gently for an hour. This is 
delicious eaten with cream and sugar, or 
turned into cups, one for each person to 
be served, and set aside to cool, to be 
eaten with any nice pudding sauce. 
A very little Graham added to griddle 
cake batter made from whits flour will 
make them taste like buckwheat cakes.
