Democrat’s Cooking School
Was Big Success Last Day
The fourth lecture of the Democrat'* (let# aud pate pink rose*. A color
Cookin'.' School opeued with a packed" I scheme handled to perfection byi the
house—juinnied to the door* long he- artist-cook, the completed cake was a
fore the hour, set every seat taken, j picture of beauty and finished loveli-
every chair that could be secured taken ; ness.
Texas Cake was presented to the
LATEST WAR BUS
and even standing room eagerly sought
—In fact numbers of women stood dur-
ing the cutlre two hours the lesson
lasted.
The crowds each day. together with
the interest auu enthusiasm awakened
among the ladies of Sherman by the
lectures and demonstrations of Mrs.
Betty Wilson, proved clearly the value
of her work and the appreciation of
her urt—for u real flue art It Is. To
the practical utility of her teaching she
add* the charm of a gracious personal
Ity which makes friends of all who hear
her. The Democrat speaks with con-
fidence In voicing the thunk* of her
audience, and to this must join the
heart;, expression of Us own. to Mr*.
Wilson, to the ladies of the city, and
to the merchants whose willing co-op-
eration was so necessary to insuro the
success of the undertaking.
Friday afternoon saw the closing of
the Democrat's Cooking School which
was conducted during the past week
by Mrs. Betty Wilson, interested wo-
men were enthusiastic in praising
tlie series of talks made by the famous
cook. for. with her varied knowledge,
she still readies the greatest teacher is
tin1 one who uses the most simple
methods. Practical instructions, with
easily followed directions and demon-
strations clearly made, are the remedy
for the perplexed housekeeper.
No Set Rules.
No stated lecture, no generalising,
ill carry to a successful issue a ('talk-
ing school such us is needed In these
busy, modern days. New Ideas, quickly
leurned methods, attractive ways of
serving, and helpful suggestions are
the thing the housekeeper wants now-
adays.
Mrs. Wilson, with her wonderful in
sight into the lives of other women,
knows this, so every task is filled with
just those things that unravel the lau-
ghs! skeins of every woman's problem.
Mrs. Wilson combines uu, earnest
manner w<th simplicity of speech; ev-
erybody cun get her meaning at once,
nud with sympathetic friendliness she
lakes the audience into her confidence.
The occasion loses ull stiff formality,
and Is*-omes n social meeting of netgh-
Isirs with a charming hostess to wel-
come nud entertain them.
One thing Mrs. Wilson has earnestly
advocated all week is the forming of
a Housewives league In Sherman.
Tlw.se leagues arc ladng established
ull over the country and the South Is
getting into the work with earnest en-
thusiasm. The Betty Wilson Cooking
School conducted a series of demou-
nt rat lone a few weeks ago for the
Houston Housewives league with bril-
liant success. So satisfactory was the
outcome to nil concerned that a con-
tract for a returu engagement was
signed by Mrs. Wil*ou's manager and
the Is-ague before the week was over.
Austin formed a league during Mrs.
Wilson's school there u few weeks ago
and in Taylor xveok liefore last the
same thing happened. All over, the
stHte women are renlining what the
movement means—art' beginning to see
the necessity for action and to know
what widespread good may lie accom-
plished along this Hue of work. When
such a woman as Mrs. Wilson Is ac-
tively Interested In n plan you may Ih*
sure there art' possibilities for lasting
good and great development in It -for
women everywhere. Sherman women
have awakened to the Importance of
this work aud since Mrs. Wilson’s visit
It Is safe to say this interest will grow
and spread from the seed she bus
sown during the week. When Mrs.
Wilson comes again next season as she
promises to do, a well organ lied league
will welcome her uud work with her.
Closing Menu..
The menu for the Closing day was
unusually bountiful stud interesting.
Cake (lay It was. the feature being
cakemaking front mixing to baking
nud decorating. Every step of the
process taught, as well as a Clear ex-
planation of Mrs. Wilson's mot Inal of
INicking cakes for shipping. This ulouo
is a secret worth knowing, as by it
Mrs. Wilson sends cakes lo all parts
of the world without breaking a single
leaf or crushing the daintiest flower.
' An oism lesson in icing making was
another item thoroughly enjoyed—the
Wilson Icing Is known everywhere.
Light, soft, fluffy, 'dainty and yet sub-
stantial, It is a vorj real kitchen
triumph. A big pan of this wonderful
frosting was made for the audience,
and when cuke and icing were finished
they were put together by Mrs. Vashtl,
the accomplished assistant of Mrs.
Wilson, with a deft ness that is both
skillful uud charming. The whole was
served at mice, fresh and altogether de-
lightful. I
“Texas Cake'1 was the decorative
specialty for the day and served as a
filling close'to the week of cooking les-
sons. As this cake was dedicated to the
housewives of Texas it was most ap-
propriate that the prevailing ornamen-
tation should lie blue bonnets. The
dainty blue of this always lovely blos-
som Was at once accentuated and har-
monised by Is'lug combined with vio-1
Deniorut by Mrs. Wilson uud the aud-
ience, both feeling this to lie a token
of friendliness for the paper aud an
appropriate compliment.
Cooking School week Is over. It has
become a happy memory to lio classed
with the plcusant things that have
been. The past five days were filled
with wonderful teaching given in sim-
ple. earnest manner with a sincerity
that Is convincing uud an enthusius-
iusm contagious by its uplifting spirit.
Mrs. Wilsou's teaching is frorit within
uml so it carries the truth stralghter
from her to the audience, making
lasting bond of friendship and good
feeling.
She told a Democrat reporter yester-
day afternoon that she wanted to say
two things liefore leaving Sherman.
First, she asked tills pnper lo thank all
the merchants participating in the
school for their progressive attitude,
their generosity, and the spirit of co-
operatiou shown throughout the week.
She said : "I hope tills school has done
something toward bringing them in
closer relationship with the muuy
worth-while tilings their home town
offers them.”
Her second message was to the house-
keepers themselves, because she thinks
many women uow-n-duys are filled with
the modern spirit of progress mid the
desire to use brain as well us hands
In the dally work of housekeeping and
In the wonderful life-time work of
home-milking.
Mrs. Wilson's gracious “good-bye”
speech ns she presented the cake, was
thoroughly In accord with the feeling
of her audience and was the happy
close of u week of pleasant association
for both teacher and pupils.

Coix'iihngen. via London. April 14.
1:4u p. m.—Pence within two months
and u half is predicted by the Copen-
hagen correspondent of (he Danish So-
cialist pres*, which confirms the re-
ports of unoilichil negotiations between
Russian uud German Socialists. as
against the diplomatic denials 111 the
Socialist now spa tiers here nud in
Berlin.
The first negotiations, says the cor-
respondent, who Is a Socialist ini'inlicr
of the Danish parliament, were broken
off. enabling two papers to launch a
denial tlint they were In progress, hut
(hey were Imnicdialely resumed and
are being prosecuted vigorously. The
corrosiloudent then enters into a dis-
cussion of peace terms iu which he at*
l*cnr> to take G-rmaxr Socialist expec-
tations and ho|»es for (ltd government
isilicy.
“1 uui,assured from an absolutely
trustworthy source,” he says, “that
Germany 1* ready to restore Belgium
and Serbia, evacuate France and with
Turkey, arrange an agreement with
Russia over tlief free navigation of the
Danlancles. An agreement is also
possible on Hie Polish question, as the
Russian government knows.”
The correspondent pictures England
as the sole obstacle to peace. There Is
reason to believe tluit the first |sirt of
his statement, regarding negotiations
between Russian nml German Social-
ists Is corect, but his exposition , of
German peace terms conflicts xvith the
recent highly otlldal declaration of the
North German Gazette that Germany
Is wililng to conclude peace, but on
terms compatible with the greut sac-
rifice which she has made.

a MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, the 1917 season of the Western Association of Base-

16th, 1917, and,
Whereas, it is the duty of all citizens of our City to encourage
and co-operate with the Sherman team iii every way possible, and
it is desirable that the said opening game be well attended.
Therefore, I, T. U. Cole, Mayor of the City of Sherman, by
virtue of the authority vested in me, do.hereby order and proclaim
that the date of April 16th, 1917, from 12 o’clock noon until 6
o’clock P. M., be observed by the citizens of Sherman as a legal
holiday, and I request all merchants to close their stores at 3:30
P. M. on said date so as to give the employes an opportunity to
attend said opening game.

day there is a
large iiuiula>r in attendance. Dr.
Dew's talk yesterday morning on the
subject of “What Made You Do It?"
was prolmbly the most Interesting and
helpful of the meeting so fur.
First Peter 4:11: "If any man *|*eak
let him speak, as the oracles of God;
if any man minister, let him do It as
of the ability which God giveth; that
God hi all things may he glorified
through Jesus Christ, to whom bo
praise and dominion forever amt ever.”
If you will study your Dtlrle, yourself
and human nature you will fiuj you
are very selfish, said Dr. Dew. Thu
right motive Is that “God in ull thiugs
may la* glorified in Jesus Christ.”
Many prayers are unanswered because
of the selfish motives that prompt
them. James 4:3. "Ye nsk and receive
not, because ye ask amiss, that you
may consume it u|ton your lusts.’
First Corinthians 10:81. "Whether
therefore ye ent and drink, or whatso-
ever ye do. do all to the glory of God."
Acts 12:21-23: “And upon a set day,
Herod arrayed in royal npparrel, sat
u(kui his throne, mid made an oration
unto them. And the people gave a shout,
saying, it is the voice of a god, and not
of man. And immediately the angel of
the Lord smote him, because he gave
not God the glory; and he was eaten
of worms, aud gave up the ghost.”
Daniel 5:22 and 23 is another example.
Fsalms 67:1 and 2: "God be, merci-
ful to us and bless us; and cause his
face to shine uikhi us ; that thy way
may la* known upofi earth, thy saving
health among all nations,” was used as
an example of the unselfish prayer.
Nothing is more beautiful than fhe
life of God’s children lived for the
glory of God.
Last evening I here was un increased
attendance. The junior and Intermedi-
ate choirs were larger than usual and
the singing was fine. Much was add-
ed to the beauty of the song service by
the singing of old fuinlliur hymns in
which the congregation joins enthusi-
astically.
Dr. Dew prefaced his sermon with
the information that lie would talk
about two things. First, how God
saves sinners. First Corinthians 3:1J.
“For other foundation no man lay
than that Is laid which is Jesus
Christ.” Second: How the saved rnun
Is rewarded according to hi* faithful-
ness here on earth. First Corinthians
3 :12-15 "Now. if any man hulkl upon
this foundation gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man’s
works shall be made manifest; for the
day shall declare It, because it shall
la* revealed by fire; and the fire shall j
try every man's works of what sort it
is. If any man’s works abide which
he hath built thereupon, he shall re-
ceive a reward. If any man's work
shall l>e burned, he shall suffer loss;
but he himself shall he saved; yet so
by fire." We see that the Bible
teaching is that sinners are saved by
grace freely and after their conversion
they are regarded by their works.
Isaiah 28:10. “Therefore thus say-
eth the Lord God, behold, 1 lay lu
Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried
stoue. a precious corner stone, a sure
foundation; he that believed) shall not
make haste." The foundation, which is
Christ, is laid by God. First Corinth-
ians 3:1L “For other foundation can
no man lay t!)uu that is laid, which 4s
Jesus Christ.” Acts 4:12, "Neither is
there salvation iu any other; for there
is none other name under heave® given
among me, whereby vve must be savd."
John 14:6, “Jcst'ts sayetU unto him, I
am the way, the truth and the life;
no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.” First Coriuthluns 3 :8, “Now
be that planteth and he that vvateretli
are one: and every man shall receive
his <;vn reward according to his own
labor. \ Not building for salvation liut
building V'*hr
___... Hmk.)
1 come quickly, and my reward is with
me, to give ever, man according as
hts work shall be...
There is no levvaKl except to the
Christian. Listen to Mark 9:41. "For
whosoever shall give a cup of water
to drikik iu m.v name, because ye belong
to Christ, verily 1 say uuto you, he
shall not lose his reward.” Why? Be-
cause ye Iteloug to Christ.” Matt. 5:10,
‘‘Blessed are they which are perse-
cuted for righteousness sake: for
their s is the kingdom of Heaven.”
Matt. 5:19, "Whosoever therefore shall
breuk one of these least command-
ments, aud sliull teach men so, he shall
be culled the leust in the kingdom of
Heaven: But whosoever shall do and
teach them, the same shall be called
great iu the kingdom of Heaven.”
Heaven will be worth more to some
people than it is lo others because
they took'more to heaven with^them.
This was illustrated with the story of
woman’s dream that she (lied aud
went to heaven uud while walking with
an angel she passed a mansion aud In-
quired to whom it belonged aud was
informed it was for her gardener
at whieh she expressed great surprise.
Farther on she vvas was approaching
and upon Inquiry learned it waa
When she again expressed
she, who had occupied
a mansion on earth, should find this
tiny place as her Inheritance in heaven
while her gardener, whose home vvas
a small bouse on a back street on earth
should inherit a mansion there, she
was told that he bad done the bent
they do could for her with tlie mater-
ial sent by her.
Mrs. Dew will speak on her conver-
sion from Roman Catholicism Sunday
afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Baptist
church Instead of the other subject
announced. This service will be at tha
First Baptist church.
Dr. Dew will Bjteak at the same hour
at Grace Presbyterian church to men
and boys on the subject of “Five Mod-
ern Devils.”
A cordial invitation Is extended, to
everyone to attend all the services, 11
a. m., 3 and 7:30 p. m. tomorrow.
