Hubby Objects to Wife
Attending Hops by Herself

Three years of welded life has not
tended to cool the love of George
kazaros for his wife. Thursday even
ing, it is said, Mrs. Kazaros attended
dance at Washington hall without
the consent Of her doting spouse.
Peevish at this lack of discipline,
Kazaros is said to have grabbed his
trusty sixshooter and a pair of brass
knucks and started on his way to
wreak vengeance upon any man who
dared dance with his wife. Officer
Anderson was attracted by the oaths
of Kazaros at Seventeenth and Har-
ney streets and, believing that the
man was up to some mischief, ar
rested him. Upon Kazaros were found
the revolver and brass knucks. In po-
lice court Friday morning he was
given a suspended sentence OF sixty
days.

Potato Boycott Is Here;
Cuts Sales But Not Prices

A great falling off in sales of po-
tatoes is an outstanding feature Of
the vegetable market in Omaha and
probably elsewhere as well. There
has been no official embargo declared
here upon the high-priced tuber. But
there is no necessity for the decla-
ration of an official embargo when
the price is up Ground rs cents a
peck. The domestic engineers have
Just simply declared they will get
along without potatoes and they are
proceeding TO do that same thing by
buying other vegetables. And the
vegetable men don't care, because,
they say, at present prices there is no
profit III potatoes. They sell them
at just about cost.
There are many vegetables on the

market at comparatively small prices
which easily and satisfactorily take
the place OF potatoes. Potato eating
is largely habit anyway and while
the prices continue so unprecedented
ly high thrifty people are cutting
them out and after the first few
days they say it is just as easy to get
along without them.
Rutabagas. turnips, carrots, par
ships, caulfower are some of the
vegetables that are being called on to
do emergency duty while potatoes

Solved PorCine Mystery

With the arrest of Edward Blake,
the police believe they have closed
the last chapter of battling porcine
mystery.
Blake is said to have stolen hog
from the Omaha Feed and Render
ing company. Notified OF the crime,
officers followed trail of blood and
footsteps to a vacant house near
Tenth and Grace streets. There they
found the animal under pile of straw
with its throat cut. They were ad-
vised of its presence when it gave
its last dying grunt. Blake was turned

dressing is desired, pour one-fourth
cup vinegar into the bottle and mark
that level on the outside of the bottle
by scratching with a file Then add
three -fourths cup of oil and mark the
second level in the same way. The
seasonings may be added at the begin
ming or later. Cork the bottle and
shake ust before using. With this
device, a quantity OF dressing may be
made up at one time, and the ingre-
dents need never be measured but
the first time.
No oil is so delicious as olive oil
to the person who is accustomed to it,
but to the uninitiated the olive oil
favor is often distasteful. French
dressing may be made equally well
from corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut
oil or any commercial table oil.
French dressing is by far the best
dressing for all vegetable salads. 1t
may be used for any type of salad.
"Marinating" means soaking in
French dressing.
Mayonnaise.
Though we use the term "Mayon-
naise," to indicate any kind of salad
dressing, mayonnaise means just one
thing-an emulsion of oil in acid and
egg yolk. The following is a standard
recipe:
I. mustard. egg yolks.
I. salt. T. lemon juice.
t. powdered sugar. u C. oil.
Few grains cayenne. q T. vinegar.
Stir together the eggs, mustard, salt,
pepper and sugar. Add the oil, drop
at time, stirring and beating con-
stantly. The back of silver fork is
a good thing for mixing mayonnaise,
though some people prefer Dover
beaten. There is very satisfactory
oil dropper on the market, which
costs IS cents. As the dressing be-
comes very thick it should be thinned
occasionally with vinegar and lemon,
alternately, but never let it lose its
consistency. After the first, the oil
may be added more rapidly. All in
gradients and utensils must be cold
If the weather is warm, the bowl
should be surrounded with ice water
If the dressing should separate, be-
gin with another yolk of egg and
stir the separate mixture into it slow
ly, as before. Set the bowl in cold
place and it should keep for many
days. A mashed hard boiled egg yolk
is an addition to the dry ingredients.
Mayonnaise dressing may be used
for any kind of salad. 1t is particu-
larly favored for meat, fish and egg
salads, and for vegetable salads for
special occasions.
Thousand Island Dressing.
Thousand Island Dressing is the
name given to mayonnaise or cooked
salad dressing to which is added var
