wherefore potatoes now sell for 81 a

How, then can the economical house.

She cannot, il she insists upon fol-
lowing her suctomary menus. But she
can if she will adopt herself intelli-
gently to our changing food condi-
lions.

II the family feels wronged when

or dripping, and one pint boiled and
finely minced cabbage. Cook five min.
utes. If a thinner soup is liked, add
more boiled milk. Serve with strips
of toast or fried.
sUYINe POTATOES.
Never buy potatoes that look green
in spots.
Very large potatoes are hard to
cook evenly and are often Of variable
texture. ~.
Regular shaped potatoes with few
eyes are economical. They can be
peeled without undue waste. k.
To test potatoes cut one in two.
If the grain is course, showing some
moisture, the quality is good. A fine.
grained potato is apt to prove pasty
when cooked.
WARNED OVER. y "
Never throw away single slice OF
cooked potato. Use cold potatoes in
salad, soup, hash. TO be palatable, pc.
tatOes which are warmed up must be
heated to as high temperature as pos
sible without burning them. and must
be served very hot. A little minced
onion, or green pepper may be added.
BOILED POTATOES.
The most economical way to boil pc.
tatOes is in their jackets. Cooked this
way they should be thoroughly scrap
ed or cleaned with brush before boil
ing. 1t is a. common practice to re.
move section Of the skin at each end
of the potato or to pare a ring around
the center of the tuber so the moisture
may escape and the cooked potato
may not become soggy. Almost nc
starch is lost when potatoes are boil
ed in their skins. >s
BAKED POTATOES ~
When baked in their skins potatoes
probably undergo much the same
changes as i'll boiling except that they
lose practically none Of their ingredi
epts except a little water. Some o.
their moisture changes to steam in
side, and unless the potatoes are to bt
eaten Immediately this must be al
lowed to escape through holes in thu
skin pricked with a fork or it changes
to water and makes the potato soggy.
STEAMED POTATOES.
Steamed potatoes are prepared a!
for boiling, put in a closed vessel hav
ing a perforated bottom, which is thel
set over kettle of boiling water
Cook 30 or 40 minutes with water boil
ing hard.

to limited degree. the starchy tubers
or root vegetables, .parsnips. carrots,
beets and turnips. But not all Of these
are cheap substitutes.
The first Of all economics in the use
OF potatoes is to serve smaller quaint.
ties than usual at tables where the
"well fed condition Of the family in.
dicates that smaller portions might

The next economy is to cook and

are served. Any food is economical
only as it is properly digested.
The third economy is never to serve
potatoes when there are other starch
foods on the menu.

A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend stands by you when in need. Stafford Springs people tell how Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test. MT. Irons endorsed Doan s over four years ago and again con- firms the story. Gould you ask for more convincing testimony?
 George Irons, farmer, E. Main St.. |, Stafford Springs, says: "About a year ago my back became very sore and lame and knew from other dis orders that my kidneys were at fault, as their action was irregular. The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, pro : cured from the Eaton Drug Store. im- proved my condition very much and after finishing three boxes, was free from the trouble .
 The above statement was given July 31. 1911. and on May 6, 1916, MT. Irons said: ''I am glad to confirm all said in my previous statement recommending Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me and it hasn't been necessary to use anything for my back and kidneys in quite some time.''
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don' t simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan' Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Irons has twice publicly reoom- mended. Foster Milburn Go. i, Props. Buffalo, N, Y.

One of the oldest sights of the sandy stretches of plain in southern Africa Is a party of waltzing ostriches. A writer on the subject thus describes their queer antics:
 When there are number of them they will start off and after running a few hundred yards will stop and, with ra..-cd wings, will whirl rapidly round till they are stupef1ed or perhaps break a leg. The males pose also before fighting. They kneel on their ankles opening their wings and balancing themselves alternately forward and backward or to one side or the other while the neck is stretched on leve with the back, and the head strikcs the sides, now on the right, now on tho left. while the feathers are bristling The bird appears at this time so ab sorbed in its occupation as to forget all that is going on around him and can be approached and caught. Tho male alone utters cry, which sounds much like an effort to speak with tho mouth shut tight. Philadelphia In Ollirer
