calories to ones works Mt large: First
comes fire of logs in the open. Second
comes an ola of generous proportions.
Into the ola put gallon of water and
plenty of the hot chiIis. and In that
region of Mexico they ripen SO hot that
not even the rattlesuake will dare take
refuge in their shade. Upon this be-
ginning lay rs much Of a side OF beer
In one piece as may he squeezed into
the Dot. Set the cover on this ola and
lutte It down with clay. Then put the
Dot into the fire and heap the glowing
Goals all over it. with particular atten-

bake into brick. Keep the fire burning
slowly all day long. When night mas
come scatter the embers. break the
