Rash ON FACE FOR z YEARS

Sioux Falls, S. D.-"My trouble OF

on my face and neck, but it grew and

was just on the one side OF my face,
but Ii soon scattered TO the other
side. suffered great deal, especial
ly at night, on account OF its itching
and burning I would scratch II and
of course that irritated IL very much.
This rash was on my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores.
1t kept me from sleeping day or night
for a couple of months. My face look

ashamed to be seen by my friends.

battle my face with hot water and a

Ii is not strange that San Pedro
should harbor so much game, for IL
is the only really wooded mountain
on the peninsula, and the timber here
is very fine. Deer and bighorn are
not the only game; other animals
there are. not so harmless, and that
may even play the roll Of hunter in

so numerous that young colts. which
they consider the most delicious OF
tidbits, have hard time trying TO be-

Some Useful Hints and
Recipes.

II you would know the sweet pota-

you must leisurely tour the sunny
south In sweet tater time" when the
entire clan OF sweet is in its glory and
prime. While the Jerseys are a very
superior class, they lack the variety
found in the southern family. Color
and flavor range from the sleek
smooth relocated sweet 10 the thin
skinned pale yellow and less sweet
variety which will be sold you as
white potato In some markets OF the
south unless you ask for Irish pota-
toes. The great coarse yam that
looks like an overgrown sweet, and
sometimes weighs Ave or six pounds
is not a sweet potato at all. However.
1t is a good substitute for the potato;
is mealy and dry, and contains a large
amount OF starch. IL is not sweet, and
is a wholesome food, though most peo-
pie have to cultivate a taste for IT,
To bring out the delicate flavor OF
the sweet potato is an art. Most cooks
spoil il by cooking too quickly. Al
least an hour in the oven is essential
TO properly bake sweet potato.

A Fast Day Dish.-This is a popular
creole breakfast dish served on
fast days: Take rather large. smooth
potatoes, peel them and fry in round
slices and fry in deep hot fat, same as
Saratoga chips, until fine brown.
Serve in hot dish with plenty OF
butter poured over them.
Aunt Lauras Way-Boil the pota-
toes as directed, then peel them and
cut in rather thick lengthwise slices.
Lay them in a deep dish and pour over
each layer of slices a sauce made &C
cording to these directions. Take a
cup each of sugar and butter and half
a cup OF hot water and boil until this
is thick. Some like little grating OF
nutmeg; others a small piece of stick

Caramel Sweet Potatoes-Boil the po-
tatoes until just done; drain, peel and
cut in halves lengthwise and fry a
rich brown in lard and butter mixed.
Sprinkle generously, while frying, with
! graduated sugar.
Sweet Potato Biscuit-Take one
square of dry, mesly sweet potatoes
