quette of calls involVesmOre white lies than
anything else III the world, and DOW it has
been getting in the way OF woman in
Hartford who wanted to hang herself.
Three several times did she make ready for

Baked Potatoes,

Potatoes are more nutritious baked than
they are cooked in any other manner, and
they relish better with those who have not
been accustomed to eat them without sea-
soning. sSWash them clean, but do not soak
them. Bake them az quickly as possible,
without burning in the least. AS soon as
they are done, press each potato in cloth
so as to crack the skin and allow the steam
to escape. If this is omitted, the best po-
tatoes will not be mealey. They should be
brought Immediately To the tahla
