BANANA AND PEANUT
SALAD IS DELICIOUS

Even folks who do not care for
fruit salad as a regular thing are fond
of the banana and peanut salad. This
salad should not be prepared much in
advance, as bananas that stand long
are apt to discolOr Arrange the cut
bananas on crisp leaves of lettuce.
Pour a little lemon juice over each
and then sprinkle generously with
finely chopped peanuts. If liked,
cream mayonnaise may be used over
all.
This salad, however. is decidedly
palatable if served with lemon juice
only. But for those who enjoy a
good cream mayOnnaise the follow
ing recipe is given. In soup plate,
put half a level teaspoon each of salt,
mustard and few grains of sugar and
cayenne if liked. Stir the yolk OF
one egg. Gradually stir in One-half
to one cupful of oil, a single drop at
a time, until at least One-fourth of the
cup is in. After this the oil may be
put in several drops at a time. AS
the mixture thickens, thin it with
cew drops Of vinegar or lemon juice.
At the finish the mixture should be
stiff enough TO hold its shape.
This mayonnaise may be used as II
is. or, il cream mayonnaise is desired:
whip up half a cupful Of cream until
stiff and cut it into the dressing just
before serving.

Canning began az a war measure,
back in the time of Napoleon, and
gained further impetus from the neces-
sites of the Civil War in this coun-
try. But it has developed into a
household blessing for the whole hui
man race. Thus, sometimes, is good
evolved from calamity.
The great need of preserving food
in a healthful. palatablc and trans
portable condition brought about the
war measure of offering reward fer
the best method Of accomplishing tvs.
Experimentation resulted in success
though the method was far more crude
then than now. Then the advantages
of canned foods began to be realized
in the home. As the mass of the peo-
pie began to call for canned foods, the
industry grew apace, and time brought
steady improvement of the various
processes.
Now, in all the great canneries

CANNING WAS FIRST KNOWN
DURING NAPOLEONIC WARS

throughout this country, as well as in
other parts of the world where vari-
Gus products are canned, thousands of
people find employment, all the year
round; in test laboratories, science
and invention are working together
constantly, in an effort to turn out
the very best ready-to-serve products,
by the safest and surest processes !;
and everywhere throughout the world
people are being better fed with a
greater variety of foods, at all seasons
Of the year.
The progress of fruits and vege-
tables, on their journey from tree or
vine to the can, is ais fascinating as
fiction. Crops, watched by field men,
are gathered at the psychological mo-
ment of maturity and are hurried di-
rcctly to the cannery. There they are
passed through several washing-ma-
chimes which cleanse them thoroughly
vet, even after that, they pass under
the closest scrutiny.

SALAD POPULAR
ADDITION To
FALL MENU
Housewife Can Make Many
Delicious Dishes
With Fruits.
By BARBARA BROOKS
Home Economics Department: Kellogg

Home Economics Department. Kellogg
Company, Battle Creek. Michigan.
Salads are becoming more and more
real part of the days menu for our
families. Men no longer think of a
little feminine dab of fruit with
whipped cream when salads are men
tioned-women know that to appeal
to the less delicate appetites of the
masculine members of their family,
salads must be substantial.
During the summer months, salads
often furnish the mnin dish for sup
per or luncheon. There is no reason
why this should not be true in winter
also If the character of the salad is
changed from something crisp and
cool to something which will furnish
fuel as well as flavor.
HOT SALAD.
We are all familiar with hot potato
salad which may be served with ba-
con or frankfurters. Potato, rice and
macaroni are all fuel foods and the
last two, though less commonly pre-
pared in this way, are as satisfactory
as potatoes AS basis for a salad.
Heat two tablespoons of salad oil and
in it lightly brown one medium sized
onion chopped. Add two cups OF
cooked rice or macaroni. and mix well:
Cook the mixture and add chopped
pickles, celery. paprica, salt. hard
cooked eggs or cooked bacon to taste.
Mix with French dressing, chill and
serve on lettuce or cabbage leaves.
One of these salads. bran mullins. tea
or cocoa. and a fruit dessert will form
satisfying meal.
An attractive fruit salad which may
be served as a course by itself at din
ner. is prepared from two kinds of
canned fruits. On lettuce leaf place
slice of pineapple. In the center of
this place a whole preserved fig. Top
with mayonnaise or cream dressing
and garnish with candied cherry.
Tiny toasted cheese sandwiches are
good with this salad. Cut the bread
thin. spread with cheese and toast on

APPLE COMBINATIONS.

There are many apple combinations
suited to this time of the year. One
may be used as a combination of salad
and dessert. Cut apples in quarters
or rings and cook gently in a thin
syrup to which red cinnamon drops
have been added. Drain the apples,
which will be red in color and spicy
in flavor, and chill them thoroughly.
Serve on lettuce with cream dressing.
A pretty pear salad is made by: put
ting a bah OF cream cheese between
two halves Oh. pears and placing the
whole pear upright on lettuce. Use
a Glove for stem and paint a blush
on the pear with vegetable coloring.
Serve very cold with cream dressing.

MELLON TO FILL
R. R. D|RECTORSH|P
Named TO Succeed James C..
Davis, Resigned, Along
With Treasury Duties.

President Coolidge today announced
his acceptance of the resignation of
James G. Davis as director general of
railroads, to become effective Deem
Der 81. and simultaneously issued a
proclamation designating Andrew w.
Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, to
succeed him.
In naming Secretary Mellon to take
over this agency of the Government
in connection with his other duties,
the President designated that the d.
rectorship shall pass on to his sue
cessor as Secretary of the Treasury.
in compliance with the transportation
act of 1920.
Little Work Involved.
Except for a few minor settlements
and adjustments yet to be made as a
result of Federal control of railroad
properties as wartime measure
there will be little for Secretary
Mellon to do as director.
The President in his announcement
accepting Gen. Davis resignation ex-
pressed his regret and paid a high
tribute to the efficient and satisfactory
manner in which he conducted the at
fairs of the Railroad Administration.
The announcement in full follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Davis:
II hereby accept your resignation
as director general Of railroads and
agent Of the President. to take effect
at midnight of December 81. 1925,
your successor having been duly APP
pointed and qualified at that time.
The liquidation of the controversies
growing out of Federal control of the
railroads has been substantially COM
pleted in a most satisfactory manner,
due to your energy, ability and tact.
Therefore, l cannot we'll ask you to
remain longer at your post. When one
contemplates the extent of the work
accomplished under your direction. he
feels that the thanks of the country
should be extended to you in most
generous measure.
Result of Settlement.
Instead of endless litigation, as
propheSiZed by many, we have seen
such adjustments of the claims be-
tween the railroads and the Govern.
ment growing out of our handling of
these vast properties during the war
as to bring about satisfactory settle
mentS out of court. The claims Of the
railroads against the Government,
amounting to over one billion of dol
lars, We're adjusted for less than $244.-
100000. Our claims against the car
rierS, amounting to approximately
S440, 000. 900, resulted in our collection
of nearly 5000 900 900. The net result
is that the claims against the Govern
ment have been liquidated on a basis
of less than per cent. All through
these operations you have preserved
cordial relations with the railway exec
utives, obtaining their generous CO.
operation and helping TO establish an
era of good feeling between the Gov
eminent and the carriers, which are so
vital a factor in the Nations life.
In extending my personal appre-
citation of your fine service, let me add
best wishes for the future.
Most sincerely yours,
