An Economical Way to Peel Pota-
toes. Drop washed potatoes in a YES
sci of rapidly boiling water and allow
them to remain 10 minutes. Remove
and strip the skin as when potatoes
are peeled after thorough cooking by
boiling. The potatoes will still be prac-
tically raw and may be handled like
new peeled potatoes in preparing any
dish, as scalloped, French or German
fried, potato chips, etc. One excellent
way to cook the skinned potatoes is
to bake them. The entire potato, in
GLIDING the thin, golden-brown crust
can be eaten.-U. S. Department of

Advice from the Perry, Iowa, Chef
is to be observed by doing the oppos-
lite: Don't send soldiers a package of
tobacco, it's a bad habit; don't send
them reading matter it might injure
their eyes; don't knit them sweater
it might scratch their delicate skin;
don't write them letter, you'll waste
the paper and cent stamp; don't
send them anything to eat they night
get the stomach ache; don't tell them
you admire their spirit it might make
them vain; above all don't send them
any tobacco. Not more than ninety
nine out of every one hundred use
tobacco and they don't amount to
much. Save your money and buy an
other farm with it. Little acts of kind
ness never helped anybody, anyway.

TURKEY THIEVES CAUGHT

The day before Thanksgiving was
a busy and eventful day for Evan
Mckinley. When he arrived at his
place of business of in the morning he
found that three turkeys, which he
had bought the day before, were
missing.
1t was not generally known that
Evan was much of -sleuth but he has
proven himself. While looking for
footprints or finger prints he found a
pencil with the Missouri Pacific i'm
print on it. He next found that a
freight crew had stopped here that
night and that the crew lived in Hois-
ington. He learned the number of the
train and the conductors name and
Immediately wired the marshal of
Hoisington to look out for the birds.
Nothing more was done until the next
day when the marshal phoned up and
said he had the turkeys located; two
of them were on the stove cooking and
the third had not yet been killed.
The crew settled the case by paying
$500 for each of the turkeys. 1t was
reported here that they had lost then
jobs.-Utica Enterprise.

In the civil war, no champions of

and the old flag knew where they
stood and what they wanted when
brothers and cousins, or fathers or
