Lowden of Knoxville. fhe inner
egg was covered with a normal
shell and was an average size.
The outer egg was unusually
large, measuring three and three
fourth inches in length and sew

tanned also a perfectly formed

amount of albumen.
Many of the automobile own
ers of Iowa are advocating. the
issuance of number plates by the
auditor of each county, payment
of the registration fee to be made
direct to the state. Those in
favor of the plan say that it
would save the state about $780,
600 on the distribution of the
plates, besides remedying the
congestion in the office of the
secretary of state. By the pro-
posed plan plates would be ship
ped by freight to each county.
Business conditions in Iowa
this spring are reported as un-
usually good. The banks are
said to have plenty of money and
wholesalers and retailers gener-
ally report a good business.
There will be considerable build
ing throughout the state in spite
of the high prices of material and
labor. Formers who have cattle
and hogs for sale are receiving
top notch prices for them, with
cattle selling around $40 per 100
and hogs the highest they have
been in a long time. The weather
conditions during March were
considered very favorable for
plant growth when warm weather
comes.

WIVES CAN SAVE
BY BIDDY BYE
Put briefly, ''the waste of war" ac-
counts for the high level and the con-
. slant rise of food prices!
Analysed, 'the waste of war"
means scarcity of labor, high wages
for workers, a shortage of the worlds
total supply Of food, influx Of gold
and a grand opportunity for the
trusts to fix prices and squeeze the
consumer.
These are conditions which the in
dividuaI housewife cannot change.
Indeed, high wages are an actual
temptation for her to be spend
thrifty"
And vet this nation would save
$50, OOO, 900 annually if only 81 year
could be saved in each American
home!
Think of it! This great saving
could be made from what housewives
waste!
Not all waste is represented by
what cooks throw into the, garbage
pail. A great part Of it is caused by
misuse of materials.
With prices at their present Jewel,
the most careless cook sees the i'm
mediate necessity for greater thrift.
Because he has long felt that his
housekeepers and cooks would do
better if they only knew HOW, Uncle
Sam has published many valuable
suggestions as to how to reduce the
cost of living. The Day Book plans
to help it's woman readers save part
of this $2O,O0O,OOO by printing some
of Uncle Sans best home economics
- lessons. These are the results of ex-
Periments made in his great national
kitchens

Uncle Sans latest contribution to
housewives might be called FIRST
aid, for it deals with bread. If fol-
lowed twill mean the saving of not
one, but of many dollars to women
willing to bake bread.
Every crUnb of Uncle Sans po-
tato bread is delicious. Ends and
crusts will never be thrown into the
garbage pail, if mother bakes this
bread.
The following method for making
potato bread, worked out in Uncle
Sans baking laboratory, is recon-
mended:
POTATO BREAD
For four One-pOund lOaves, the in
gradients required are: 8 pounds OF
boiled and peeled potatoes; 2A
pounds of good bread flour; 8 level
tablespoons of sugar; ~ Level ia
teaspoons of salt; 2 cakes of COM
pressed yeast; tablespoons of luke
warm water.
MIXING THE SPONGE
Wash and boil in their skins II po-
tatoes of medium size. Cook until
very tender Drain, peel and mash
them while hot, being careful to
leave no Jumps. Allow the mashed
potato to cool until lukewarm.

pint cupfuls) of the mashed potato

spoons of lukewarm water. To get
all the yeast, rinse the cup with the

half-pint of sifted flour. Mix thor
oughly with the hand, but do not add

not stopped since, and as | am writ

is no easy task to get about the city
when there are no impediments in the
way of snow obstruction, but when
the white mantle covers the earth
surface with more than three feet,
vehicle traffic is simply out of the
question. Some, in fact many, of the
stores decline to attempt delivery OF
goods today and in phoning to a gro
Gerry about noon, not more than a
dozen blocks from where | am liv-
ing, the clerk said they had aban-
doned any further efforts to deliver

of snow with probably a depth of four
feet by morning. Fortunately it is not
cold here or the suffering would be
intense.
