The News, and the more elite

considerably perturbed because the

Considerable excitement hit the
town when a rumor circulated that
Sullivan had dropped dead on the

"A Mysterious Murder" is the
title of a news article on the front

the character of beautiful Nellie

the same name, written by Theo
dore Dresser, one CT the nations

toward the nearest market, it was
decided that Nevada would be the
logical state to make use of the
available feed in this section. I'm

speaker, available pasture for more
than 100000 extra cattle and now
has available from 100000 to $4,000
acres of green feed with a large
amount of idle land in the north
end, formerly in cotton, which could
profitably be planted for feeding
purposes.
Hays stated that he was amazed
at the lack of information concern

present in most cases were not
aware that this section has IL

toned the splendid publicity given
Imperial Valley by the newspapers

"DEEL your onions and shed a
L tear, for picking time is
drawing near"
That expresses more truth than
poetry, since no relish achieves
quite the right tang without
touch of onion.
Tomato catsup and chilli sauce
are two excellent sauces to make
in the home kitchen. Their keep
ing qualities are admirable and
their ingredients simple. Chilli
sauce. particularly. is easily and
quickly made. Catsup requires
more work to make but is well
worth while.
You will find that these sauces
can be used in many ways. Chilli
sauce added TO mayonnaise pro-
duces a delicious Russian dress
ing to be served with head lettuce.
Vegetables, soups and meats are
made savory by the judicious use
of catsup in seasoning. Fish
sauces are improved if a dash OF
spicy catsup is beaten in just be-
fore serving. Vegetable and meat
odIado anu Sdnu NltHSS gain
piquancy from this same sauce.
Sauces wanted for winter use
should be highly favored. Spices
and seasonings mellow and blend
with standing. and since the mis-
sion of the sauce is to whet the
appetite. the sauce should be
pleasantly piquant when opened
for use.
Catsup and chilli sauce are more
or less seasoned ito taste" The
seasonings suggested in the reci-
pes make piquant but not "hot"
sauces, so you may want to add
more cayenne pepper. Be sure
to let the taste" cool thorough
ly before tasting and remember
that the flavors become less pro-
nounced as they stand.
