Cooking PHtaames.

n'he commcnest L1lsi:.heS we nlahe An cooking potatoes are tl1at We use too uany fried and boiled potatoes Fried {oi:toes are less easily GlgesteG than food cooked in other ways. The most wasteful way t0 ceoh potatoes IS to pee. them. put them iL cold water and brlng them slowly to a boil. This method allows the water to penetrate to the center of the potato so that q good dea. Of the starch may be dissolved and lost, and the potato becomes sOggy. because 1t has not been cooked dry On thc other hand, if you put peeled or cut potatoes Into boiling water the gluten Is hardened at once ias is that other coInmon a1buninous food-the white of an egg), thus preventing the water from getting 10 the starch and thereby jnsuring a mea]y potato.
 Tue best way to cook potatoes IS to bake them, because, dry heat being used, none of the food value Is lost. Next in nutritive order ls the boiling c- potatoes with their skins ou. Next comes steamins, which every cne should practice instead of the common way of boiling, because 1t wastes less starch, while giving the same kind of flavor and texture. Frying Is the least rational process. Of the fancy meth ods "ricing" is one of the easiest and most attractive, and ii has the great advantage of being useful for potatoes unfit fer other uses.-Gardeu Maga- zine

 A clever housekeepcr, tired of having cards slip off these glasses or extra doilies to wash, hit upon the scheme of using small individual butter plates fer covers.
 She keeps about a dozen or more of tie butter dshes-the inexpensive white yariety-in convenient places. half in her medicine cupboard, the rest slowed away in different rooms.

DR. Chalmers Mcpherson for IS

OF the United States in the Tw cntieth
Century the celebrated French his.
torian. Pierre Leroy Beaulieu, takes

Corporation" for study AS type of

He finds that It was organized BIS

$500, 600, 600. not based on actual
property or investment. but largely
on expectations of what could be ox-
torted from a monopolized and closed
market.
This surprises Leroy Beaulieu. He
finds it still more surprising that each
one of the ten corporations which
formed the great Carnegie Steel
Trust under the name of the United

a trust. formed by monopoly com

DAMAGE BY STORM
At BLUFF SPRINGS
specia! to The journal.

Bluff Springs, Mar. 19-On March
20, 1905 we had a severe storm at 4
a. m. This morning we had a dupli-
cate of it the center of the storm be-
ing about $50 yards west of last
years disturbance, but following the
same general direction. As a result
fences have been laid fat, garden en-
closures are gone and chimneys dam
aged.
The house belonging to Mrs. L.
Medlock, occupied by Mrs. Sallie Port
er. was moved 3 or feet to the
north. The sifls were moved and the
floor beams pnOW qarest upon the
ground. Some off, the piers were
driven through the floor, the walls
were torn OFF, the chimney demolish-
ed and the water poured in in torrents.
The house is uninhabitable ana the
property is otherwise badly damaged
The rainfall this morning was ex-
ceptionally heavy and will keep the
farmers from planting for several
days. However, they will not be idle
as it will take considerable work to
repair the damage to fences and out
buildings.
