BOOMING BUSINESS ORGANIZATION.

One of the best ways to promote community
spirit in Albuquerque elsewhere is to get the men
together socially At Mount Vernon Ohio. The
various church COMMITTEES serve MONDAY lunch
con once a week to the members of the Chamber
of Commerce and their friends. The sum realized
is not large one, but the plan has greatly pro-
noted attendance.
The women are credited with having done more
in that city in this way, for the chamber of COM
merce and the community, than any member or
group of members in the organizations.

beets, carrots, onions, cabbage,

Most of the moderate dealings
conVerged around oils. steels,

for refunding its external obhga-
lions, Sales, 235,00O shares.
The weekly reviews of mercan-

unemployment"

dessert for lunch or supper. What
would the following luncheon
menu be without its cake?
Leftover Baked Beans ..

Slices of Banana Layer Cake
Without the layer cake it would

The cake is needed. In the follow
ing supper menu, too, the cake is
real necessity:
Hash
Tea Bread ana Butter
Devils Food Cake
Cinnamon toast is another good
lunch or supper dessert, quite as
much appreciated by the family
as cake. TO make this, the house
keeper should toast slices of bread
(stale slices may be used) on one
side; then turn them over, butter
, the other, the untoasted side, and
sprinkle it with graduated sugar
which has been mixed with a little
cinnamon-just enough cinnamon
to give II a brownish look When
this untoasted side is we'll sprinkled
with the sugar, the slice should
be slipped into the oven and al
lowed to brown, while the sugar
melts, under the gas flame Of a
gas stove is used, or an electric
stove that also has a top-oven
burner). If a coal stove is used,
the bread must be toasted on both
sides before the butter and sugar
are put on. Then the slice should
be slipped into the oven and left
there only long enough for the
sugar to melt.
