Feel Worse After Vacation.

The change from outdoor activity OF
vacation time to the quiet Of regular
employment sometimes makes one feel
heavy and stuffed up" uncomfortable
and bilious with a mean headache, a.

"a vacation does no good" it is better
to remove the trouble, which usually

ADVICE OF EXPERTS
SUGGESTION FOR SELECTION
AND COOKING OF POTATOES.
Points That Housewife Will Do Well
to Keep in Mind When Purchas-
ino-Economicsi Methods of
Serving the Tubcrs.

The following suggestions 10 house
wives by home economics specialists Of
the United States department Of agri-
culture are made in regard 10 the Sc
lection of potatoes for table use.
In purchasing potatoes for table par
poses, the following points should be
kept in mind: First, that smooth po-
tatUeS are more desirable than rough
ones because they are more easily pre-
pared. and less loss is involved in the
pairing Second. that tuh"rS which
have been exposed 10 light for any con
siderable period soon acquire more
or less acrid taste: for tliS reason,
newly harvested potatoes. # mature,
are preferable for the wintes'S supply
10 those which have been kept for any
considerable period under unsuitable
conditions. Third, that very large pO-
tatocS are not especially desirable,
partly Oh account of the greater length
Of time required 10 cook them uni
fOrmly, and partly because they are Of
ten very variable in texture. Fourth,
n good potato should be firm and crisp
when cut, and thin cross section
when held between the eye and the
light should show a relatively uniform
distribution of starch throughout its
whole area. as opposed 20 II large,
translucent, watery. central area which
denotes Il lack Of starch In this pOr-
ton of the tuber. The even diStribu
tion Of starch inSureS greater uniform
ity In cooking and in texture Of the
flesh when cooked.
If lot is not uniform, II is often
worth while to sort them aud use the
large ones with roast meats. or AT 9th
er times when the oven need not be
especially heated, and save the small
ones for occasions when quick cooking
is more convenient. When the pOta-
toes are very large. or time Is press
ing, IL Is often desirable to increase
the surface exposed 10 the heat by cut
ting them in pieces before cooking, in
spite of the fact that this slightly in
creases the amount of nutrients lost.
If they are pared and cut into small
cubes or thin slices. they will cook
very quickly and may then be Creamed,
mashed, or served in other ways.

How Parrots Kiss.

Parrots, it is declared, are the most
Unsuitable of kissers, q distinction
once supposed TO belong to the turtle
dove.
They can kiss thousand times an
hour, and they can keep 1t up-as OBJ
servationS have revealed - for six
hours. Prof. ii. G. Walters of Lang
horne. Pa, made this discovery by &C.
tual count while spying on the love-
making of a pair of parrots recently.
The professor discovered that love
note MARBLE accompanies each separate
kiss. The singing and kissing was all
done on the rainiest, darkest, most
blustery and gloomy day of the month.
The seance began before S n. m, and
the notes rivaled those of q goldfinch
in brilliancy.
The species of parrot thus reported
upon Is from Australia, and is of very
brilliant and gorgeous plumage.

Mans Duty to His Community.

The man who makes money in a
community has q duty TO perform 10
that community. 1t may be that he
has made his money by his superior
business ability, and that he would
have done as well anywhere. That
does not alter the case. If his gifts are
great his responsibility is equally as
great. No man was placed on earth
for the sole purpose of making money,
and the man who has this as his ideal
had better never have been born. II
is not an act of charity, but the per.
Torrance of simple duty, for the
man who has made money TO pass a
little Of ii on for the benefit of the
community, even though he never eX-
poets TO see a dollar of his contribution
back.-New Canaan Comm Adver.

City MANAGERS Proved.

There are now 40 municipal officials
in the United States who are styled
''city managers" under the new COM
disadvantages form Of government.
They are the professional chief execu-
tives of their respective municipalities,
each with appOintive power over the
city's entire administrative establish
ment. They are not popularity elected,
but hired for reason of fitness and for
an indefinite tenure by small elected
commission of five local men. Gen
orally speaking, three years of trial in
q variety of towns have proved that
the new plan furnishes battle-ground
for democracy that makes the un-
modified citizenry unusually effective
while the opportunity for expert adj
ministratiOn which it offers is usually
graSped.

Deep Fat FRYING.

Many young hOusekeepers are afraid
10 attempt deep fat frying because
that fried food is indiGestible or they
find it difficult 10 get uniformly perfect
results and hesitate TO serve poorly
formed crOQuettes or imperfectly cook
ed dOughnuts. As n matter of fact,
perfectly fried foods are seldom indl-
gestible. because they have not been
allowed to soak fat" When the fat
is hot enough to form q crust over the
outside of the food Immediately, the
fat particles do not permeate the
starchy interior. and fried food can
easily be digested by any ordinarily
healthy adult.

professor will follow any intellectual
concept that convinces his profoundly
logical mind, but he will stick TO his
grandfnther's style of pie in the face
of all opposition and indigestion. Some
one might trace an interesting and in
structive relationship between German
pie and German pessimism.
The contrast between old manner

Jena. Here is one of the most famous

philosophers and metaphysicians of the
