PRISONERS WORK
ON STATE ROADS

y isconstn can now be numbered
among the states successfully en-
ploying their convicts in road work,
says an exchange.
TWO years ago +. Stage Within,
a representative OF the national com
mittee on prisons and prison labor,
made careful study OF the prison
system of the state, at the request
of Gov McGovern and the state
board of public affairs. In his re.
port. Dr. Within recommended that
all prisoners who can be placed on
their honor should be employed out
IF doors in quarrying stone, cleal
ing stump lands and building roads.
In his message to the legislature,
which followed the receipt OF Dr.,
Whitin's report, Gov. McGovern drew
attention to the successful road work
in Colorado, and suggested that the
legislature empower the board of con
troll and the highway commission to
try the experiment of working a
limited number Of conVicts on the
roads IN the northern part of the
state. reporting the results Of the
experiment to the next session Of
he legislature.
The Legislature of 1913 followed
the suggestion of the governor and
authorized the board of control and
the highway commission TO employ
such convicts as they deemed suit
able in the road work.
The summer of 1914 saw two camps
established. one near Waupun and
the other at Taycheedah. At the
Waupun camp two and half miles
of road is now under construction,
and when completed will connect
Waupun and the village of Chester.
The road is fifteen feet wide and
of the best possible macadam con-
struction The men are under the
honor system, wear neat khaki
uniform, and live and work exactly
like a hired crew, the only guards
being two unarmed experts in road
building.
The success attendant upon this
work points to its fullest develop
ment and the reconstruction of Wis.
consin's prison system along the lines
suggested in the report made by the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor.

THE HUMBLE AND USEFUL POTATO

While IT is said Of young house
wife that she can't even boil pota-
toes" il is generally supposed that
she has failed by the supreme test
OF culinary ignorance. Yet there
are many more or less experienced
cooks who are not able to boil po-
.atoes without. as one witty person
has said. insulting the most useful
and honorable Of all garden truck.
/, requires quite a bit OF knowl-
edge 10 boil potato as a potato
deserves boiling.
To begin with there is one abso-
lutte rule to be remembered in cook
ing all green vegetables They should
be washed in cold water and cooked
in boiling water. salt should be
added in the proportion Of one tea
spoonful 10 each quart of water. bur
whether at the beginning OF the pro
cess OF cooking or after the vege
tables are partially cooked is mat
Ter OF choice.
It will take half an hour to boil
potatoes Il may take longer. Pc
tatoes should never be boiled at a
furious bubble They should be
treated to continuous and gentle
boiling.
Old potatoes should be soaked in
cold water foI at least half an hour
after being pared before they are
boiled. As soon as they are tender
they should be drained thoroughly
allowed to dry by shaking them in
the saucepan and setting them on
the back of the range, where they
are covered with a coarse towel un-
I'll serving time.
Beating is the secret of good mash
ed potatoes. After they are boiled,
drain and shake loose in the sauce
pan. and then mash them with a
WIG masher Add plenty of butter,
a dan of pepper and salt to taste
and have the milk hot and enough
of it to make the potato mixture
creamy After it is added beat with

ELECTRICITY AND SANITATION

Electricity and sanitation go hand
in hand in this enlightened age. as
is evidenced by the invention of
Washington, d. c., man, whose clsy
erness bids fair to put the roller
towel of our ancestors and even the
absorbent paper article of more re-
cent date out of business for good.
Here is the idea: After washing your
hands. turn to the drying cabinet
and after inserting them in the
drying hole press your foot upon
"a conveniently located lever. At
once a deliciously warm, dry cur
rent of air envelopes them, and in
few seconds they are sanitarily
and luxuriously dry.
