Between each two slices put thick

good way to make use of canned

one of the resources of the home ca

The fruit salad combination usually
served with French dressing is tasty
by way of a change with white may

is cubes of ripe pineapple. Malaga

meats, some candied cherries, some

Mix this combination with a little
mayonnaise with lemon juice instead
of vinegar, and just before combining
it with the fruit add half the amount
of stifly whipped cream.

A Douqhnut Hint.

Doughnuts are much improved II
they are coated with layer Of sugar
as soon as they are taken from the
stove. The best way to powder them
is to put a small amount OF confec.
toner's sugar in a paper bag and put
several doughnuts In the bag at time
and then shake the bag holding the
top Of the bag closed. This will coat
them with sugar quickly and more
evenly than any other way.

A TEST VOTE

AYOR ALEXANDER said plainly
XI at a rally on Monday night that
AAA he would regard the vote at the
city election on June 30 as a popular
expression of opinion on his admins
tration. He urged the election of
Stewart and Whffen to the council.
He gave the men, whom he has known
many years, his cordial Endorsement,
and said that with them in the council
to support his general pelicy-the man
agement of the city for the benefit of
all its citizens-he would be able to
do more than ever i'm the way of prog
ress along the lines for which Los An
geles has become noted throughout the
country.
Thus matters focalize themselves into
one issue Does the administration of
Mayor Alexander deserve approval or
disapproval? In it's acts of commission
and omission no administration can
meet the exactions of all its critics, and
non-partisan management like the
present is most apt to offend because
it will not play politics.
Every interest in this city that has
been offended because it could not have
special favors at the public expense,
every business that wants to overstep
the bounds of legitimacy and cannot
so long as the present kind of ad-
ministration exists, every politician to
whom it is profitable to hold office is
hoping that Healy and Houghton will
get hack into the council. That IS
good reason why the other kind of
over their neighbors or looking for
spoils. but desire only a square deal
for ALL should vote for Stewart and
Whiffen.
