ed and thrown away. These salts
can be preserved by a more careful
removal of the skin, as by shallow
pairing or rubbing, and also by boiling
or baking the potatoes in their
| jackets.
PAIRING before boiling, however,
may be the most desirable method of
cooking potatoes which through an
undue exposure to light may have
acquired a bitter taste, or those
which have been kept until late in
the spring, since in this way more of
the disagreeable flavor is eliminated.
Such potatoes may also be soaked be-
fore cooking.
While these methods may be desir-
able with potatoes which have been
exposed to light, they result in the
loss of considerable food value with
out compensating advantages when
applied to new or well-matured po-
tatoes. If such potatoes are boiled
after pairing, they should be dropped
into boiling water instead of being
placed on the stove in cold water. By
the latter method there is twice the
loss of protein, or tissue-building ele-
ments, resulting from the former.
The loss of mineral matter is about
the same by each method. There IS
no loss Of starchy material in boil
ing unless portions of the tuber break
off.
Practically the only loss when po-
tatoes are baked in their skins is of
the water which escapes as steam.
The more or less common custom of
pricking boles in the skin of baked
potatoes or breaking them is explain
ed by the fact that unless the steam
which is formed inside the skin is al
lowed to escape it will change back
into water and produce sogginess.
Potatoes which have turned green
and sprouting tubers have present a
considerable quantity Of solanin, an
acrid poisonous substances which,
though not dangerous in the quanti-
ties ordinarily met with, gives a dis
agreeable flavor. 1t is best, there
fore, to avoid such potatoes or to cut
out green or sprouting portions.

Pictures

When the cleaning streaks of
streaming
Light ascend the eastern hills,
Casting mellow tints Of yellow
Over woodland, meads and rills;
When each seeing, moving being
Stirs in slumber's deep abyss,
Yawns and stretches, gasps and
reaches,
Grasps at that or clings to this
1t is then / see a picture
That inspires me with good cheer,
For it heralds the beginning
\ Of souls earthborn career.
When the parching sun its arching
Course has reached the turning
point,
And earth's weary toilers, dreary,
ASKING in each limb and joint,
Never ceasing their increasing
.Arduous duties to perform,
Still are striving, still contriving,
Whether sunshine, whether storm
1t is then / see picture
ZOf an earnest, active life,
When the soul is barred to action
In earth's turmoil, care and strife.
When the sinking sun is drinking
Moisture in the hazy west,
And the singing birds are winging
Homeward to their leafy nest;
When the bleating sheep are eating
Leisurely upon the hills,
And the lowing cattle going
Down to slumber by the rills--
1t is then / see a picture
OF life well nigh its close.
When the soul from labor ceases
To enjoy well-earned repose.
