Potato Bread Rolls.

Very good rolls can be made from a
similar mixture of boiled potatoes and
-four by adding shortening and sugar.
The following proportions will yield
enc dozen small rolls
ounces of boiled and peeled pota-
toes.
ounces of sifted -four.
1-3 cake of compressed yeast.
4 level teaspoonful of salt.
2 tablespoonfuls of lukewarm water,
2 tablespoonful of sugar
tablespoonfuls of butter.
*Two tablespoonfuls of powdered
milk, added to the dough, will greatly
improve the quality of the rolls. AL
though milk itself or cream may be
used, it must be borne in mind that
they will increase the liquid content.
Boil, peel and mash the potatoes as
directed for bread making. Add in
order, to this the salt, the powdered
mix, (lf used) the yeast rubbed
smooth and mixed with the water, and
lastly two tablespoonful of flour Let
this mixture stand at temperature of
about Sc degrees F. until the dough
begins to collapse. Add to this sponge
the butter, the sugar, and the re-
mainder of the flour and, if necessary.
enough more -four to make very
stiff dough. Knead thoroughly until
smooth dough which is no longer
sticky has been formed. Set back to
rise again, and when the dough has
trebled in volume, knead lightly, form
into small balls and pace, not too
cose together, in creased pans. Allow
to rise until double in volume, as
shown by the indicator and bake 20
minutes in moderately hot oven, at
| about A degrees F.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Sex
cellent bread can be made by using a
pounds of boiled and mashed potato
and 2 IA pounds of good bread flour,
according to the baking specialists of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The bread so compounded has rich
brown crust and tender elastic crumb.
1t as an appetizing odor and very
agreeable taste, which is preferred by
many to that of bread made wholly
from -four When made according to
the direction given below, potato bread
contains more mineral mater, fiber,
and moisture. but otherwise, in COM
position and nutritive value, is prac-
tically the same as ordinary bread. Its
higher moisture content helps to keep
it fresh several days longer than ord
mary bread In localities where there
is a surplus of potatoes of where they
are very cheap, potato bread costs
less to make than all-four bread.
This would prove an excellent way
in which to utilize Gull potatoes Even,
however, where the relative market
prices of potatoes and flour are such
that there is no economy in substitute
ing potato for -four, the individual
favor and keeping quality of potato
bread make it desirable as variant
in the family diet.
Potato bread as known abroad is
made generally with potato -four,
about 10 parts of this commonly being
used with 80 parts of wheat -four or
mixture of rye and wheat flours. AS
potato -four and dried potato flakes
are not accessible to the American
housewife, the specialists conducted
a series of successful experiments in
using boiled potatoes with flour.
1t was found that a mixture of boil
ed potatoes and wheat flour, in the
proportions given in the accompany
ing recipes, gave a very desirable
loaf, a trife smaller than that made
from all flour, but wholesome and
nutritious. Figured to basis of
equal moisture cantent, the boiled po-
tato would represent 25 per cent and
the flour rs per cent of the mixture.
The following methods for making |
potato bread, worked out in the bak-
ing laboratory, are recommended:

 EMBARGO QUESTION
Poll Taken by the National Bakers Association Shows Less Than Half Are
 in Favor of It

Columbus, O., November t2.-Of 175 newspapers throughout the United States which participated in d poll conducted by the National Association of Bakers to determine public sentiment on the question of an embargo on wheat. "A have expressed themselves as in favor of such an embargo or as inclined to such views where no editorial stand has been taken on the subject, according to a report made public here tonight Firty-four expressed themselves as definitely opposed to an embargo. The remaining papers did not answer in full the questions asked and the information sought was not given The sentiment in favor of the embargo seem to be developed most largely in the northern states and the southern states appeared to be against it. Sev- eral of the southern editors expressed themselves regarding an embargo or eX- port tax as a war measure.
 Answering a question as to the senti- ment of their communities in regard to the project, A reported their communi ties as in favor and 19 against the meas ure.
 The detailed results of the poll, it is contemplated, will be placed before Presi- dent Wilson and the departments of agri- culture and commerce within the month.
 The Master Bakers association an nounces that the poll was taken in fur therance of an effort to conserve Ameri- can crops to secure lower prices of flour in this country.

DR. EDMONDS TALKS
 ABOUT INFIDELITY
UnprOfitabIeness of Un- belief ExpOunded by Pastor
 of Independent Church

The evening service of the Independent Presb yteran church at the Lyric last night was attended by the usual large monds, the pastor, read the ninth chapter of Mark as the Scripture lesson, taking as his text, "I believe Lord, help thou mine unbehef."
 "Inhdelity or unbelief, as exploited tn the work of Humes, Huxley and Voltaire does not deny God so much as it criticizes the wrong impression created by the church of their day in that the presen- taton of the truth by the church did not coincide with their particular dis covery or research said Dr. Edmonds ir part. Do not judge them by their early writings entirely; follow them to the end of life and see the cry of dis satisfaction in their pages; the emptiness and futility of their vaunted skepticism and discover what a blighted existence life is without faith.
 If you doubt honestly, think it out In your soul, put reliance on the dictates of your heart about God, and then, listen for the first faint gleam of faith that comes and build on that, be it ever so small or weak. If it be a parasite thing begin and build up on that, and the rest will take care of itself. Doubts will gradually melt away and the great reali- ty of God, and your relation to Him, will occupy your heart and mind so fully there will be no room for doubt, and faith will increase and give you such joy that you will not surrender it for all the wealth in the world"
 The speaker urged men to begin now to live clean, honest, upright lives, on what little faith they possess, asking God to increase their faith assuring them that faith grows with it's exercise to great proportions.
 At the conclusion of the very impress sive sermon, Owen Gillespie sang ''The Mistakes of My Life Have Been Many in his usual sympathetic manner.
 At the morning service Dr. Edmonds preached a strong, inspiring sermon, us- ing a number of passages from the third chapter of Revelations as a text, in which St. John speaks of the rewards to those who overcome sin, promising happiness and delight unspeakable in the beautiful and picturesque language of this wonderful book to those who find God.

ess Won Bernstorff nor the German arnba ssador will be requested to ap- .pear against Graves. The warrant was sworn out by A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, as the com plaining witness.
 The German embassy is most anx- ious to learn how Graves obtained the letters which he is alleged to have thought would "embarrass" Countess yor Bernstorff if made public. It is considered unlikely, however, that in formation on this point can be ob- tained until the steamship Oscar II, upon which Graves declares they were brought to the United States, returns to New York.
