Warned To Examine
Mexican Land Tracts

MEXICO CITY, Mex , Nov. 26.—
Americans who wish to invest in
land in Mexico are now the game
stalked by innum erable swindlers,

ii
according
to a real estate man
He says th at Americans should be
warned th a t it would be folly to
buy land here w ithout having seen
it. Before completing purchase and
paying out money, he says, the
American investor should examine
the tracts carefully and make in­
quiry regarding titles.
Persons who have disregarded this
precaution have in many cases fall­
en victims to rogues.
Sharpers are well aw are of the
great m e r e s t m anifested In the
United States In the possibility of
profitable investm ent in land here.
In addition to the thousands of
Americans who are thnilfing of com-

This would necessitate the
employing of engineers to study the
land and dbvise ways of storing the
w ater in such a way th a t it could
be used in irrigation. The average
man could not jum p in and build a
dam which would hold enough water
to supply the needs of a farm.

CULINARY HINTS.
A well made and flavored pumpkin
pie is satisfying enough for most pal­
ates, but pump-

Is served with
whipped cream,
into which has
been stirred some
nice s e a s o n e d
cheese.
__It is often the
i mother who puts too many frills on
daughter’s garments who says she has
no time to fuss with frills on dishes.
Time is never wasted in making food
attractive.
A pretty salad is one using two
halves of a pear. Arrange on lettuce,
flat side down, and decorate with quar­
tered blanched almonds, putting them
into the pear pointed end down. Serve
with a French or mayonnaise dressing.
Frozen whipped cream, sweetened and
flavored, then packed in ice and salt
several hours to freeze, served with
bits of ginger or c&ndied cherries, is
a delicious dessert.
Apples cored and the centers filled
with bnnanas cut in strips to fit in
the ’cavity, sugar and butter with a
little water added, then baste while
baking, makes a very pleasant varia­
tion of the everyday baked apple.
A quick dessert enjoyed by chocolate
lovers is called Dresden crumbs, pre­
pared as follows: Take one cupful of
bread crumbs, one-half cupful of
grated chocolate, two tablespoonfuls of
sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir and
mix well and bake until the chocolate
Is melted.
Serve with sweetened
whipped cream.
When a child or a person who is ill
refuses to drink the milk or cocoa
which Is provided, give him straws
to drink through and serve the milk in
an attractive cup or bowl.
Milk toast is a wholesome dish and
one which may .be served to the chil-'
dren as well as grown-ups. Add a
grating of cheese to the dish served
to the adults, giving a change in fla­
vor and also increasing the food value.
When preparing a meat loaf, add
one-half to one cupful of oatmeal to
the meat and arrange two or three
hard-cooked eggs in the loaf so that
when sliced they will add to Its ap­
pearance. •
When a Range is Too Big
In almost every home there are important heating
requirements in kitchen, laundry, or nursery, th a t
are large enough to justify an investment in addi­
tional electrical heating equipment, even though
another range would be too big.
It is for such uses that
Westinghouse
Hot Plates have been designed. These devices are
efficient, practical, and of extreme convenience. They
are not too large to be moved in case of necessity,
and they are neat, clean, and economical.
Deflector plates underneath prevent any danger of
scorching the support on which the hot-plate may be
placed. This is further bbviated by the design of the
heaters, which concentrate the heat directly under­
neath the vessel. Each heater has three-heat control,
the left-hand heater being equipped with three sepa­
rate switches, the right hand with a single three-heat
switch. They are made also ii> single-heater sizes.
Westinghouse Hot Plates possess advantages of
convenience and economy which many people will
readily appreciate. .
