Radical Change.
The zone proposal for handling
newspapers and magazines, which

radical changes in postage rates in
years It divides the country into
eight zones with rate chargeab1e
ranging from one cent for 500 miles
to six@ cents for il so O miles or more.
The bulk or daily newspapers, the

POTATOES IN BREAD
URGED ON HOUSEWIVES

More general use OF potatoes in
making bread is recommended by the
baking specialists Of the Department
OF Agriculture at Washington Bread
containing boiled and mashed potatoes
Vas found during experiments just
concluded TO be just as nutritious as
ordinary bread and to have the quail
ity OF remaining fresh longer.
The department believes that in To-
calities where there is a surplus of
potatoes. or where they are cheap,
much economy can be practiced at
this time by reason of the high price
OF wheat flour, and that even in To-
calities where the relative market
prices Of potatoes and flour are such
that there is no economy in substitut'
ing potato for flour the individual
flavor and keeping quality of potato
bread should make it desirable as a
variant in the family diet
Potato bread as known In Europe
usually is made with potato flour
which is not readily available in the
United States I'm their experiments
the Government experts baked excel
lent bread with three pounds of pota-
toes and 10 pounds of flour. Three
recipes have been formulated.
