Show RECIPE FOR POUND-CAKE IN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE Chicago, March 6 Charles M. Stuart, Stu-art, recently appointed editor of the Northwestern Christian Advocate, has had His 'first tussle with the printer's "devil." In the last week's issue of his publication pub-lication appeared. . the following exchange ex-change clipping, . the same being a recipe for pound-cake: "Cream together one cup of butter and three cups of sugar. Add tho yolks of five eggs and beat the wholo until it is very light Then stir in one wineglass of whisky, one nutmeg, grated, and then one cup of milk and when these ingredients are well mixed mix-ed beat in four .cups of- flour," etc., etc. The Advocate being devoted to the anti-liquor - cause, a protest immediately immedi-ately rose from the subscribers. Mr. Stuart lost no time in preparing another wjjlch appeared in this week's issue. Meanwhile he had explained verbally, that tho recipe crept into the columns without the knowledge of himself or his associates. About as nearly as he could fix the responsibility, responsibil-ity, he declared, it rested upon the "printers' devil." The printed explanation Is as follows: fol-lows: "The appearance of the clipping was a sheer inadvertence, which the editor regrets as much as does any of his readers. The Northwestern has for over fifty years been con-bltlcnt con-bltlcnt and insistent against the use of intoxicants and against the traffic; it is not likely to stultify its record even in the interest of the toothsomo-uess toothsomo-uess of pound-cake." |
