When pancakes stick to an alum­
inum griddle it may be because
the recipe does not include enough
fat. Add a little more and the
trouble may be corrected.
Cranky prejudices about certain
foods increase the burden of the

Train the children to like and eat
all good wholesome foods.
Any true mayonnaise, made with
egg, oil, acid and seasonings will
keep as long as a week in a re­
frigerator. It’s a good idea to make
up a sufficient quantity to last
a week.

and one of the nicest ways
to spend them is out on the
long trail, touring from one
section of the country to
the other. With your car
and a camp outfit you can
go anywhere you please,
stay as long as you like and
come back when you get
ready. You are under no
limitations except those you
choose to impose upon
yourself. For such trips the
Safeway Man is prepared
to supply you with a suit­
able variety of wholesome
foods at a compartively

packing your purchases in
the safest and most convenient manner and he is coinpetient to advise
with you in making your selections. The savings he offers will help
a lot in paying the expenses of-your trip.

Sugar
The present market on sugar is very
firm with a strong probability that
it will go still higher. Wholesalers’
price is $6.65 per hundred pounds.
We foresaw this rise and protected
our customers by making a huge pur­

Nuisance
The fair streets of Cactus
are again overrun by weeds, just as
they were last summer and the
summer before last and all the
summers that have come and went
since Heck was a pup. Is this nuis­
ance to continue forever? Is this
blot going to blight our fair young
village until Gable sounds his horn? i
Is this shining spot in the glorious
country conceived by Washington,
preserved by Lincoln and pickled
by Heinz going to remain an eye­
sore to tourist with pockets full of
money who happen to get on the
wrong road occasionally? Have we
no civic pride? Have we no com­
munity spirit, no taste for art, no
desire to make our beautiful city
a city beautiful. Is it more honora­
ble for our mayor to sit on a ary
goods box and whittle on a pine
stick than it is for him to take a
hoe and whittle down a few on-
noxious weeds that are forever
flaunting their virtues in our faces?
The time to act is upon us. It
has been upon us for some weeks.
Let us girt up our lions and saun­
ter forth to battle. Yea, let us
go forth and slay the armies of
encroaching weeds even as Sandow
slew the Phillistines.
