POTATO NOTES

Caribou, Me-, May 26.-There has
been quite an advance in the potato
market the past week. The street price
Wednesday was about $3.50 per barrel.
Stocks are well cleaned up as a rule
and with the southern crop coming
forward rather slowly farmers and
dealers who are still holding are quite
optimistic over the prospect for future
prices. Many Of the farmers have fin
ished planting and if the good weather
continues the remainder of THIS week
most of them will be through cropping.
Probably never before in the history
Of Aroostook county has there been a
more favorable spring for doing farm
work.

"HIS is being written in China,
where, at the moment of writ
ing, there is much talk of dis
covering and following the
will of the people on the question of
monarchy or republic. Those who
best know China can only smile. There
is something amusing in the idea Of
discovering the will of China's mil
lions Of peasants on a subject Of ma
tional moment, says a writer in the
Dundee Courier.
The patient Chinese husbandman
knows nothing and cares less whether
he is ruled by a president or an en-
peror. His opinion on any matter of
national Importance will not be dis
covered within the next 100 years. He
has to discover it himself before 9TH
ers can do o At present it does not
exist. His one idea of good govern
ncnt is to be left alone in peace with
out being too greatly robbed by Off
cials. If his crops are good he leaves
politics, whether local or national, to
those who are interested in them. For
his part, he has less than no interest.
The Chinese peasant is a man al
most entirely without ambition. He
has two ruling passions of life, and
these are so closely allied that they
may be described as one, The acqui-
sition of wealth is out of the question
for him. To him a Mexican dollar
which is worth about l shilling Q
pence is a vast sum, and twenty of
them constitute a fortune. If he earns
the equivalent of two pence a day he
is doing famously, but you cannot
save much off two pence a day. Since
he cannot amass wealth, therefore, he
sets himself to amass a family, if ono
may so phrase it. The strongest am
bition of his life-perhaps passion
would be a more accurate TERMS

family. preferably of boys. Second
only to that is his desire, having

RAISINS A VALUABLE FOOD
Their Value Is Too Frequently Ignored
Some Breakfasts That Are a
Little Different.

Try combining for breakfast prunes
or raisins, cooked, drained and
mashed and slightly sweetened, with
an omelet, spreading a cupful of them
on them before folding over. Dried
apples which have been soaked and
we'll drained may be fried like fresh
apples and served with the bacon. A
pound of dates cooked with a pint of
cornmeal, a ~teaspoonful of salt, a ia
~blespoonful of -four and a pint of cold
milk will vary the morning mush. A
cupful OF stoned, chopped dates is an
agreeable addition to apple sauce,
added when the apples are almost
cooked. Baked apples are delicious if
the centers are filled with stewed
prunes. If cooked prunes or dates are
chopped fine they may be added to
the breakfast mullins, thus giving va
riety to an everyday dish. Many a
child who will not eat a cereal in the
morning can be tempted to do so if
chopped dates or figs are allowed to
simmer a few minutes and then mixed
with the cereal, or placed around it.
Don't leave your raisin jar on the
shelf, using it only occasionally, for
this most valuable dried fruit will
supply elements necessary to health at
a minimum cost. When properly
baked in bread they are almost ideal
food for children.-Woman's World.

Simple Couture
Is the Best

1t is the fashion in Paris to dress
the hair exceedingly simple. The new.
est method, however, reminds one of
a bath coiffure"-the hair, slightly
waved. being drawn back closely from
the face and twisted into a careless
knot at the nape of the neck.
The couture is eminently becoming
to a pretty girl with a well-shaped
head. 1t demands that the hair shall
be very silky and possessed of an ap-
parently natural ripple.
The chignon is here again. Not a
stiff bun but a soft soil, held in place
by tortoise shell pins, which Tres
against the back of the neck, and there
is no parting visible in front.
The Parisiennes are also adopting
in the evening a style of headdress
which calls for the presence of highly
ornamental combs. These are com.
bined with a simple, but highly effec-
tive couture.
The hair, always slightly waved, is
drawn back over a light f~rizette and
arranged in a series of small coils and
curls at the back of the head, not low
down, but, on the other hand, not high
up. The coils and curls cover the mid
die of the head at the back and the
comb juts out at one side.

right side thrown well over the left
shoulder.
Departing from the important fea-
lures and the silhouette, there are
many interesting minor things to be
considered about the new fashions,
and these interest some women as
much a do the larger features.
Stripes, broad and narrow, will be in.
troduced in all kinds of fabrics, in.
GLIDING serge, silk, gaberdine, jersey
cloth and wolfe.
There are so many of them that M
invariably thinks of the directoire
fashions, and yet, the only other hint
of this epoch in the incoming styles
is the high, rolling collar, the frill
of lace in front and a coat or bodice
that fits the figure.
There are suits and one-piece frocks
made of striped serge and silk, espe-
cially in blue and white with pipings
of solid blue and there are skirts of
old-fashioned ribbed silk made in
stripes that are five inches wide
which go around the figure. There
are suits of jersey cloth and other
fabrics that have immense collars,
revers, girdles and broad cuffs, some
turning back nearly to the elbow,
made of striped cloth or silk.
The designers have racked their
brains for new ways to use ribbon,
but no one has ousted the method of
making a gown as though it dripped
ribbon. For instance, a silk net eve
ming gown in II color will have hun
dreds of hanging tabs of another color
arranged in thick groups. There are
few rosettes and bows, as any method
that keeps the ribbon from being fat
tened in to the surface of the frock, is
not approved.

Sleeves are full, so much so that

they are attached to afternoon gowns

PICKLING CARROTS AND BEETs
Winter Vegetables Are Invaluable for
R~eplenishing the Cupboard
Fixing Sweet Peppers.

For picking baby carrots great care
must be taken in choosing firm and
well-ripened vegetables. The advan-
tage of preparing these winter vege-
tables is that they can be picked or
canned with much greater ease than
in the summer when a warm kitchen
is an adherence. A few cans of car
rots, beets or peppers are a real addi-
ton to the seasons store without ex-
ira cost of any sort.
Boil the carrots until tender and
then rub off the skins in cold water.
Cut them up (unless you are using
the young carrots l mentioned above;
in that case use them whole3. Pour
cold vinegar over them; add a slice
of onion, two bay leaves, and a tea
spoonful of celery seed to each one-
half dozen carrots. Do up in air-tight
jsEs, and let the jars stand upside
down over night and if any liquid
runs out, screw them up a little more
tightly the next morning.
Picked beets may be treated in
the same way. Use one dozen good
sized beets, two quarts of vinegar, me
quarter of IN ounce of mace, ~one-quar-
ter of an ounce Of ginger, one salt
spoonful of pepper. two tablespoonfuls
of grated horseradish.

ing them in jars. Put the vinegar into
a porcelain-lined kettle, adding mace.
ginger and pepper. When this reaches
the boiling point take from the fire.;
then add horseradish and pour, hot,
over the beets. Seal UP in air-tight
jars, using the same test for tight
ness.
Red and green sweet peppers may
be put up, too. Cut a slice from the
stem end of each pepper and take out
the seeds, then cut it into a thin strip,
going round and round the pepper with
a sharp knife. Cover with boiling wa.
ter for two minutes, drain, and place
in iced water for ten minutes. Drain

CURE FOR DENTIST FRIGHT
II One Could Only Keep From Dwelling
on the Coming Ordeal It Would
Help Much.

Science tells us that our attitude
toward the dentist is a good illustra-
ton of energy wasted on f~orebodings
for the future.
"The fatigue which results from an
hour or more of this dentist tension is
too well known to need description"
says Annie Payson Call. the we'll
known teacher Of nerve training.
Most of the nervous fatigue suffered
from the dentists work is in conse-
quence of the unnecessary strain OF
expecting a hurt, and not from any
actual pain inflicted. The result OBJ
tanned by insisting upon making your
self a dead weight in the chair. II you
succeed only partially, will prove this.
1t will also be a preliminary means of
getting rid of the dentist f~right-that
peculiar dread which is so well known
to most of u.s."
So well known indeed to some Of

weeks before the fatal date. the dread
