THREE WAYS TO
MAKE SANDWICHES

ROLL SANDWICHES--W Wrap fresh
bread in cloth which has been wrung
out of cold water, using dry cloth 10
cover ii on the outside. Let II stand
for several hours. When ready to
use, cut off the crust and cut In thin
slices. Spread with any preferred
paste
MEAT SANDWICHES-N all
kinds of meat may be used for this
purpose II cut in nice, thin slices.
Rare roast beef may be seasoned with
salt, pepper and tomato catsup. Thin
slices of dill pickles added give more
flavor. Chicken and turkey always
make dainty sandwiches.
CLUB SANDwICH-This is an ex.
pensive sandwich TO buy but docs not
cost much II made at home. II will
almost constitute a whole meal. Toast
the bread light brown and not hard.
Cut in triangles or diamonds either
before or after the filling has been pu.
in. Make the sandwich two or three
stories high, according to individual
taste. Filling-a lettuce leaf, then a
thin slice of breast OF chicken; then
very thin boiled ham or bacon. The
finish may suit the taste. A pickle
or "a stuffed or plain olive Is com.

How can win one of the Oakland
The Detroit times., 1912-06-13
Methods to Pursue in Winning
One of the Oakland Touring Cars
Each Contestant Should Interest Many Friends Possible
In Her Campaign
THE PRIZES ARE OF EXCEPTIONAL VALUE
Event Just Starting and Plenty of Time Still Remains Any
Contestant To Lead Her District

How can win one OF the Oakland
cars2"
This question is asked the contest
manager many times each day and
he herewith offers suggestions on
winning which are based on his Ave
years OF contest management.
Very little time should now be
spent In deciding whether or not you
desire one OF the prizes offered II
you can use touring car, then you
are decided TO do your best. IL you
cannot use one, then have your name
withdrawn from the list of contest
ants. In any event, II is useless for
you TO be candidate for an award
that you canont use; also quick de-
clsion Is conducive 10 success, espe-
cially when delay means loss of time
as in an event OF this nature.
You can use an Oakland or the
money 1t would bring when placed on
the market. Then begin to formulate
your plans for campaign by starting
at home.
II you have husband. father,
brother or sister, urge them to use
their influence among their associ-
ates. You should take advantage or
whatever position your relatives oc-
cupy. There Is hardly a family but
what some member OF II Is affiliated
with some labor organization, society
or association. II is, therefore, easy
for members OF your own family to
assist you Make this contest a fam
lily affair at the start, as an Oakland
Touring car holds FIVE passengers.
After you have interested your i'm
mediate family. pledge the support OF
your best friends. Be sure to pick
out the best ones those whom you
would assist under like conditions.
Tell them you want one Of those
Oaklands and you want them to help
you win It. Give each receipt book
with the understanding that they fill
II full before returning II to you.
II you have 10 such relatives and
friends, this means 10 boosters for
you on the start, and each in turn
should interest, his or her particular
friends In your favor. Get as big a
chain OF workers started as possible,
each carrying a receipt book and To-
eating every subscription, coupon and
nomination blank in sight.
II you belong TO any organization,
pledge the assistance OF every mem
Der. In other words, like the politi-
clan, pull every wire in sight. You
should remember that votes are go
ing to place each Oakland in the pos
session of its future owner, so do not
let q coupon, nomination blank or
subscription escape you.
These are the contest managers
ideas as to winning and undoubtedly
the four ladies winning the four Oak
land Touring cars will have followed
out these methods, at least to a GER
tain extent.
Each contestant should follow care
fully, all reading matter pertaining to
the contest In this way no informa-
ton of Importance escapes your no
tice. Friends whom you can not see
personally, or to whom you cannot
telephone, should be written. Con-
testants may have as many receipt
books as they wish, by notifying the
contest manager.

According to the best information
at hand, the only way In which Roose-
velt's nomination can be prevented at
Chicago will be for the national COM
mittee to decide all contested cases
in favor OF Taft.
This is not humanity possible.
Some contests are 80 preposterous as
10 be jokes. Nothing so unfair. for
example, could be contemplated as TO
throw out the Roosevelt delegates
from Washington state. and seat only
the Taft delegates. The Kentucky
contests, in several OF the districts,
are similar The committee will show
in its decisions what measure Of fair
ness II proposes to employ in decid-
ing contests, and ii is safe to predict
that before the convention opens the
public will know either that Roose-
welt will be nominated at the Coli
scum or that ne will be nominated by
the Roosevelt delegates assembled
under another roof."-Jackson Citizen
