Make at Least One Resolution.

1t is we'll to make resolutions, when
made seriously and in good faith, even
if subsequently, they are disregaIded,
1t is worth while when one, after de-
liberate thought, realizes the weak
places and attempts 10 strengthen
them through determined resolve or
a supreme effort of will. The resolu-
tion may be broken in some unguarded
moment but the realization that the
weak place or shortcoming exists will
cause one to be more constantly on the
alert for improvement.
The ONE resolution that The Adver-
tiser would have all make, is to resolve
to KEEP SWEET throughout the en-
tire year of 1917. The happiness OF
many a home, even homes of affluence
and culture, are marred by the i'll ma
ture of some member of the home-cir-
Gle. Their biting words and the sharp
corners of their nature are constantly
pricking those with whom they hourly
meet. 1t is just as easy to scatter
sweet smiles, kindly words and thought
full deeds along the way as it is to make
life miserable for those about US. Any.
way, it is the "small, sweet courtesies
of life" that make living worth while.
Don't make many resolutions, lest
they be lightly regarded, but in the
few you make, one should be firm re,
solve to KEEP SWEET.

Cake Returns to
 Original Size

Herman the great. nor Houdini, have nothing on Professor S.ark. the chef who is now giving cooking exhibitions at the Phelps Dodge store in behalf of the Majestic range, judging from the way the professor handled a big cake yesterday afternoon.
 He spent all morning baking the cake in the Majestic range. In the afternoon he gave a lecture. Then he wrapped the cake carefully to keep it clean, put it out on the pavement in front of the store and placed two '2- inch blanks 1s feet long over it in the shape of a cross. He lined the ladies fiat ones preferred - around these blanks. and at given signal 20 of them hopped aboard. It was a layer cake about eight inches thick. As the wo- men bore down on it, it fiattened out like a pancake. Then the women got off, and. presto, the cake raised to it's

These few cases (of course there may be several hundred thousands of them, the newspaper man doesn't know) only mark the beginning. like the scouts that ride in front of the army. Every valley in Arizona can be made to bloom just like this. and there are countless hundreds of thousands of acres of arid desert land, worth a dollar now, that can be made worth four and five hundred, just like this land in the Salt River valley has been multiplied in value.

 The newspaper man started in to write about the fair and the carnival company and the fat stock and the lorse races and the lemonade stands and the crowds andthe prices charged at the hotels and the glories of old days and nights before the state went dry, but instead he has dwelt mostly upon the transformation of the Salt River valley into one of the fairest and finest farming lands that he has ever seen.

every one of his mines were filled
 with gold and all his deserts changed
 to gardens, and all his 200 and 300
 per cent guarantees" should turn
 into yellow eagles and goddesses of liberty in silver white and greenbacks sealed with the United States seal?
 That is just exactly what has hap pened in these valleys around Phoe- nix. All the fancies and fond i'm aginings of the dreamer who claimed that the desert could be made to bloom have come true. On one side of the roadway eight or ten miles from Phoe- nix is the desert where the mesquite fights bravely for it's life against the sun and the sand, and the cactus stands like a melon umpire with all its sympathies on the side of the des- ert and the sun and against the brave green little bushes. On the other side is water from the Roosevelt dam ditch, and the alfalfa stretches in endless miles of green, and the palms and or duSt trees, anu Dcdullui country homes. and everything to please the eye of the traveller from the fairest and most favored portions of these United States.

It was hard 70 believe, but there was the cake, just as light and resilient as at the beginning. and without even the frosting crackedl The cake was then sliced and given to the women to convince them there were no conce.el springs.
 Just One Secret.
 Prof. Stark had previously given the recipe by which the cake was made, and it was simple enough. He said the only secret was that it was baked in an alright oven. No other kind of an oven would do. he insisted, and as he is engaged in an advertising cam paign. he could not be blamed for men tioning it. as he did. that the Majestic oven is airtigh and equally heated from all sides.
 However. laying aside all advertis- ing matter. the fact remains that Prof Stark is some cook and we'll worth hearing. He has the culinary art down fine, and admitted that the man who is now second chef in the white house is an old pal of his.
 The west end of the sore had been filled with seats for the ladies who numbered about a hundred. and who listened attentively to every word.
 French Cooks The Best.
 Prof. Stark gives a lecture and cooking demonstration on the Majestic range every day. He says that French cooks are admit .edly the best in the world. They shun lard like poison. using butter and olive oil instead. Prof. Stark said that the hest brands of cot tonseed oil used in this country make a very good substitute for olive oil. He told of the great pains to which French cooks go to make .heir soups and their fiavoring sauces for all purposes. He declared that many of the incurable, parasitic diseases We have in tris coun- try are result of excessive meat eating. and as a meat conservationist he made

LAYER CAKE MASHED
 BUT DECLINES ID
 STAY LIKE PANCAKE

G. S. Stark proved, yesterday after noon, to the satisfaction of several hundred women of Bisbee that an air tight oven is the best in which t.
 bake. He did so by a novel experi- ment with what he terms the Walk ing Cake" at the Phelps Dodge Mer- camille company's furniture depart ment
 Stark is the demonstrator for the Majestic Stove company He cooks anything and everything to prove the Majestic's supremacy. Yesterday he put together his Walking Cake" It was a sevenlayer affair, which he baked nearly all morning. Shortly after noon he took the cake to the front porch of the store and, after protecting it against dust, had 20 women stand upon it by the use of boards crossed over the cake. Before the women stood on the board the cake was over twelve in ches :n height. After they had stood upon the boards for a couple of min utes the cake was Hat. MT. Stark took the boards away and in ten min utes the cake was at its normal size. The cake was taken to the display room, in the furniture department, and served. The women who partook of 1t declare that it was excellent.
 Stark maintains there is no trick cry in his cake. He explains that an air tight oven, such as the Majestic people manufacture and as the P. D. store sells. will give like results for the reason that the oven retains all of the moisture and when a cake is baked in such an oven and "squelched" it will rise again through the contained moisture.
 Today Stark continues his demon strations of baking. Every day, after the demonstration and lecture, cakes and coffee are served.
