PEEL POTATOES ECONOMICALLY
Save Waste by Boiling 10 Minutes Be
fore Removing Jackets.

large amount of good food in po-
tatoes, including most of the valuable
mineral elements, is wasted by ordi.
nary methods of peeling. Baking Gin
the Jackets also means a loss (if the
jacket is not eaten,) since much of the
meat Of the potatoes sticks to the stiff
fened skin and is discarded. Here is
a suggestion made by the United States
department of agriculture for reduc-
ing the discarded portion of the potato
to minimum:
Drop washed potatoes i'll a vessel
of rapidly boiling water and allow them
TO remain 10 minutes. Remove and
strip the thin skin as when potatoes
are peeled after thorough cooking by
boiling. The potatoes will still be
practically raw and may be handled
like raw peeled potatoes in preparing
any dish. as scalloped, French or Ger,
man fried potatoes, potato chips, etc.
One excellent way to cook the
skinned potatoes is to bake them. The
entire potato, including the thin, gold.
Thrown crust may be eaten.
This recipe for economical peeling
of potatoes was furnished by q house.
wife and tested by the United States
department of agriculture. The depart,
ment will be glad to have other house.
wives write of thrift practices which
they have found useful in their homes.

PHoNoaRApHs FOR KuRN HATT1N
Also Memorial Library-Full Sets of
Records to Be Received Each Month
from New York Man.

The Kurn Hattin Homes at Westmin.
ster and Saxtons River recently were
presented a memorial library, three new
monographs and sets of records, and
the promise has been made of full set
of all the records manufactured each
month by a photograph concern, for
each home. What this means to the
boys of Kurn Hattn, Of whom six are
from Brattleboro, is not fully appar-
ent at first thought and is comprehend
ed only after one g mind has dwelt up
on. it few moments. 1t came about
in this way:
Arthur II. Cushman of New York, Of
the Emerson Phonograph Co., formerly
had son, Westervelt Thatcher Cush-
man, in the Home at Westminster. The
boy died year ago last June in
North Bennington. Mr.. Cushman re.
Gently wrote to the executive secretary
of the Homes, in part as follows:
Gas part of the Westervelt
Thatcher Cushman Memorial Library
desire to send monthly to all the Kurn
Hattin Homes full series of all
monthly records we manufacture each
month.
"My boy Westervelt was wonderful.
ly fond of the photograph and loved
the music Of the photograph. l want
all the boys in the Home to have ac-
cess to a photograph and complete
library of phonograph records, as a
part of the memorial library.
off there is not a phonograph in
each one of the Homes please advise
me and l will supply them"
A reply was sent to the effect that
the Homes appreciated very much the
offer and would be glad to accept the
records, also that word would be sent
later about the monographs. But
there was something mysterious about
the matter, because no word had come
to the office before about any Wester.
welt Thatcher Cushman memorial Ii.
brary.
This matter was cleared up, however,
the very next day by the receipt from
North Bennington of a letter stating
that the Sunday school and friends of
the Cushman boy had decided to give
to the Homes a memorial library. The
letter contained check for $l20, with
the statement that it was desired that
sectional bookcase be bought and
that the house mother, Mrs. McIntire,
expend the balance for books suitable
to the ages of the lads.
This offer also was accepted, and Mr..
Cushman was notified that while both
Homes had had monographs the two
at Westminster were largely past their
usefulness and the one at Saxtons
River would not take such records as
his company furnished. And so Mr..
Cushman sent three monographs and
two sets Of records. Thus the admin.
istration building and the Ainsworth
building at Westminster and the Home
at Saxtons River all have photograph
and fine lot of records with which to
start, and are to receive each month
a set of the records issued by the
Emerson Photograph company. The
boys fully appreciate all the gifts.
Mr.. Cushman has written that he
would like to visit the Homes, as he has
great deal that he would like to tell
the boys about Westervelt.
