COMMENDs HOcH.

For once we can commend an action
of Governor Hoch. He had sense
enough to refuse to call a special ses-
sion of the legislature, when petition
ed to do SO, for the purpose of passing
an anti-pass bill and some other
visionary measures. There is no more
pressing need for the proposed meas
ures now than there was when the
bunch of insists who composed the
last legislature were sitting around To-
peka drawing their salary a year ago.
Had Hoch listened to the petitions and
called that herd of mavericks togeth-
er they might have done a lot of dam
age. For once Hoeh displayed a little
business sense ana we want to give
him credit for it.-Mankato Advocate.

The commonest mistakes we make
in cooking potatoes are that we use
too many fried and boiled potatoes.
Fried potatoes are less easily digestt-
Bile than food cooked in other ways.
The most wasteful way to cook pota-
toes is to peel them, put them in cold
water and bring them slowly to boil
This method allows the water to pene-
trate to the center Of the potato so
that a good deal of the starch may be
dissolved and lost and the potato be-
comes soggy because it has not been
cooked dry" On the other hand, If
you put peeled or cut potatoes into
boiling water the gluten is hardened at
once as is that other common al
luminous food-the white of an egg,
thus preventing the water from get
ting to the starch and thereby ensur-
ing a mealy potato.
The best way to cook potatoes is to
bake them, because a dry heat being
used none Of the food value is lost.
Next in nutritive order Is the boiling of
potatoes with their skins on Next
comes steaming which everyone should
practice instead of the common way OF
boiling bacsue it wastes less starch,
while giving the same kind of flavor
and texture. Frying is the least ra-
tional process. OF the fancy" meth
DDS "ricing'' is one of the easiest and
most attractive and 1t has the great
advantage of being useful for potatoes
unfit for other uses.

PANAMA cANAI, NONSENSE.

The people of the whole country are
heartily tired of the protracted contro-

demand more practical work and q
good deal less impractical talk. The al

over and over, and while it is shown
that there might have been extrava-
