Editress Suffrage Cook Book:

As to a sentiment on equal suffrage, let me say
that if I had no more generous reason for
approving it, I should do so on the ground of my

restraints of a corresponding responsibility in
the suffrage.

Ever yours truly,
G. W. CABLE.

CREAMS, CUSTARDS, ETC.

Strawberry Short Cake a la Mode

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 heaping tablespoon of butter

Sift the dry ingredients together and work in the butter. Mix with
enough milk to make a stiff dough which can be rolled as thin as a

When cold cut in pieces and split each piece. Place a large tablespoon
of crushed, sweetened strawberries between the layers, add the top
layer, add more berries, and last of all, a heaping tablespoon of ice

Add this mixture to the milk and cream as soon as they come to a boil.
Stir and set aside to cool. When cold, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and
freeze.
