POTATOES AT THEIR BEST
Universally Popular Vegetable VIII Wall Repay All the Care That
 Can Be Given to it.

There are many varieties of pota- toes. Tastes differ as to the most de- sirable kind. In this country the white
 potato, when light and dry, is pre- ferred. It is especially suited for boil ing, steaming and baking, also for soups and purees. The yellow pota- toes are more suitable for salads, rag outs. hash and frying, because they keep their shape when cooked. The sweet potato makes a pleasant and healthful addition to the table. It is rich in starch and sugar and somewhat laxative.
 The white and yellow varieties con- tain a large percentage of water, a fair percentage of starch, very small percentage of sugar and about one per
 cent mineral matter. It is to this min eral matter that the potato owes it's
 antiscorbutic properties.
 Potatoes cooked in dry heat, as by
 baking in the oven, roasting in ashes, frying in deep fat, or steaming with out peeling are more pronounced and
 savory than when cooked in water. But the vegetables so cooked must be served just as soon as they are done,
 or else they will become soggy. On
 the contrary, boiled potatoes may be
 kept warm for an hour or more after
 cooking without i'll results.
 Potatoes should cook in half an hour if ordinary size. Large potatoes should be given five minutes more. and small
 ones two minutes less. These rules
 apply to peeled, partly peeled or un-
 peeled.
 The potatoes should be covered with 1 boiling water and brought quickly to a l boil. After fifteen minutes add one tablespoonful of salt to every twelve | potatoes. At the end of thirty minutes
 drain off. To make them very white
 and mealy. after draining off the wa Ger, put the cover on. hold it down firmly and give the pot a shake. Next | open the window and hold the uncov- cred pot outside for few seconds, to let the steam escape. Place the yes sel where it will keep warm for few
 minutes, covering with folded cloth, not the lid.
 When boiling potatoes in their skins
 a narrow band of the skin should be removed from the center of the vege- table and small bits from either end. Steamed potatoes will require forty minutes to cook, the water boiling hard all the time.
 Baked potatoes Gin their skins) must be pricked before putting into the
 oven to allow the gases to escape. The
 oven should be very hot, as a number
 of cold potatoes will lower the tenn
 perature. One hour should be allowed
 Small sweet potatoes will bake in half an hour, large ones an hour or
 more Those who like them moist and sweet may bake them two hours.

Now They Are Not Afraid to Let the Children Run Outdoors
 Freely.

Every mother knows how hard it is to keep children. especially boys, in doors in bad weather. And yet if they run out it usually means croup or colds. Carthage, Mo, mothers have solved this problem by keeping plenty of fresh air in the bedroom at night, and applying a hot application of Vick's Vap-O-Rub at the first sign of trouble.
 Vap-O-Rub really is a remarkable preparation. It is the invention of a North Carolina druggist, and is universally used in the South, but was introduced here only last winter.
 It comes in salve form and is ap- piled externally over the throat and chest. EXternally-it acts like poul' tice or plaster, relieving the tightness and soreness. Internally-it acts like a vapor-lamp, except that you do not have to keep the windows shut and the fresh air excluded as you do with the old fashioned vapor-lamp. Wick s Is so made that the body heat re leases the ingredients in the form Of vapors. These vapors are inhaled with every breath through the air passages to the lungs, carrying the medication right to the affected parts.

A GOOD CHANGE. 4 Change of Food Works Wonders

Wrong food and drink cause lot of trouble in this world. To change is first aid when a person is i'll. particu- larly from stomach and nervous trou- bles. As an illustrations: A lady in Mo. was brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with her.
 She says:
 For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse until I was i'll most of the time. About four years ago left of coffee and began using Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but was so re- duced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me.
 Then changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts in addition to Postum. I lived on these two princi- pally for about four months. Day by day I gained in flesh and strength un- til the nervous trouble had disap- peared. I feel that I owe my health to Postum and Grape-Nuts. Husband was troubled, for a long time, with occasional cramps. and slept badly. Finally prevailed upon him to leave off coffee and take Postum. After he tried Postum for few days he found that he could sleep and that his cramps disappeared, ] He never went back to coffee Name | given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. i Mich.

nut St., Carthage, tried Vick's Vap-O- Rub for a cold and hOarseness in chest and throat, and also for mus cular soreness, and writes-"I have never used anything with as good re- suits. I believe it is a necessity in every home."
 Mrs M. L. Salyard, 1115 s. Maple St., Carthage, tried Vap-0Rub for very severe cold in my head and received almost instant relief"
 Mrs. Bertha Grove, R. F. D. No. ', has a little boy four years old who lis bothered with bronchial trouble, and catches cold whenever he runs out in damp weather. His head and nose stop up and he coughs so much that his lungs wheeze until you can hear him all over the room" Mrs. Grove says she just rubs Vap-O-Rub we'll over the throat and chest and covers with a warm flannel cloth, and the vapors arising open his head. She also stops his cough by letting him swallow a small piece. In fact. Mrs. Grove writes us quite long letter and ends by saying-"I would advise all mothers to keep Vap-O-Rub on hand, especially if they have any small children. You don't need to buy cough syrups when you have bot tie on hand, and I find it better than any internal medicine" Three sizes. 25c. soc or s1.00.

New Strength for Lame Backs
 and Worn-out Conditions
Dear MT. Editor:

Dear MT. Editor:
 I suffered from lame back and a tired, worn-out feeling. Was unable to stand erect and scarcely able to get around. It would usually come on at first with crick in small of my back. I took Anuric Tablets and my back commenced to get better. I did not have to walk doubled over as l did before using the "Anuric." It is the best remedy I have ever taken for what it is intended to relieve.
 A. G. DRAKE.
 NOTE:-When your kidneys get sluggish and clog, you suffer from backache, sick-headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and gout. "Anuric" is the most powerful agent in dissolving uric acid, as hot water melts sugar. Ask the druggist for "Anuric," put up by Dr. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.

Mexican Problem
An inheritance.

NNbuJltlutu lOIlj ISL l dS6,
Hting editor, had an editorial
calling attention to "the anti
American demonstrations which
have lately taken place in Mex
ico," in which great student
demonstrations were made,
mobs broke windows in build
Jugs occupied by Americans,
attack ed street cars containing
Americans"
On March Is, 1911, the Out
look said that events in Mexi-
co are very confusing" and on
April %, it declared that Mexi-
co presented a serious state of
affairs"
1t was OIL April 20, 1911, that
Senator Stone, a Democrat, in
sisted that President Taft be
authorized to employ whatever
force might be necessary to re
store order in Mexico. Senator
Root, now enc of President
Wilson's most bitter critics,
said that a threat of force would
be "to reverse the policy of the
United States and take a step
backward in the path of civil
cation" Senator Lodge, Re-
publican, and another bitter
critic of the Wilson administra-
ton, said that President Taft
would not ask for force until
our diplomatic methods had
failsl.
1t was on April 30, 1911, dur
ing the Taft administration,
that the New York American
( Hearst's) said Through a lag
gard and chicken-hearted presi-
dent, American threats of inter
vention have become the laugh
ing stock of the insurgents and
regulars alike"
1t was in February, 1913, dur
ing the Taft administration that
the New York American
( Hearst's) referring to the Mex
lean situation, said Zone hun
dred or more of American citi-
zens have been slain" and it
asked docs anyone think that
Germany would have endured
this outrage for a day? Does
any man believe that English
warships would not already be
bombarding Vera Cruz for a
similar outrage upon English
citizensP'
The Mexican situation under
the Taft administration was so
serious that in it's issue Of Sept.
Fl, 1912, the Baton Rouge, La. 5,
Times said: "The American
flag is only a rag in Mexico. "
Ell Paso, Texas, and other bor-
der papers expressed similar sen.
ments.
All Of which goes to show
that the Mexican problem is an
American problem rather than
a Democratic problem and that
it was as much a problem under
Hughes as under Wilson or
Taft.
