POTATOES" MADE
 OF FLOUR AND LARD
est. Louis Post-Dispatch)

The expected has happened. Coun- terfeit potatoes are in circulation. They are taking their place with phony greenbacks and paste diamonds and are said be such q good imitation that it takes an expert to tell the difference between the real and the make-be- lieve.
 To make counterfeit potatoes you take one pound of sure enough pota- toes tw3 and d half quarts of water, one pound of soft summer wheat flour half a pound of split peas and two ounces of lard. Mix well and mould This is where skill counts. Anybody can mix them, but it takes an artist to mould them. If they are rounded just right, with every artificial eye where the natural eye ought to be, the average potato eater will take them boiled or fried, mashed or baked and think to his dying day that he has eaten potatoes.
 In one way it doesn't matter. The counterfeit not only looks right, and tastes right, but the chefs say it is more nourishing. But it is cheap and it takes the joy out of life to think you have been eating a rare and genuine potato and then find out that it was blended substitute.

Fashionable alFit-
 tings for the Table

Perhaps no room needs to be so truly the homes heart as the dining-room. Yet how complacently do most of us, proud housewives though we be, accept and "let stand" the furnishing of our dining and side tables, simply because they happen to be more or less per nianent Just as we study innovation and adaptable novelties m the re- mainder of the house, so should we e~peciauv seek cheer and concentra tion of happy cOlorings for the dining room; that the blame for heavy hearts may not fall on our heads because Of unhappy choice in decoration. By wise and thoughtful expenditure a house. keeper may soon completely refurnish her table, and gradually relegate to the "Washladys cupboard those par ticulaTly odious pieces which are uni versafly with us, like the ubiquitous cratchetts.
 For the breakfast table bowl Of Made-in America glass, transparent and in various colorings, may be filled with fruit, either real or artificial. This makes 9 charming centerpiece, and with matching urns atop the side tables
  lively.
 Apropos of table fittings, what is of more importance than the light which 1 shall cause us to reflect in our own 1 little domestic relations court? For 1 those who prefer center light to side | brackets, there is 6 new design in brushed brass-a circle of eight can dies with an all-covering shade of silk with deep self toned fringe The shade may be ordered in any color to match wall and draperies.
 For the fortunate owner of old wal rut. or new walnut. for that matter. there are dinner sets of Spode china in soft blue and gray colorings

THE WAR SUMMARY.

While the British offensive has come
to a nomentary pause, with the gains
effected yesterday everywhere held. a
situation latent with big possibilities
has developed on the Russian front
The landing Of German troops on the
islands of Oessi and Daso, at the
mouth of the Gaif Of Riga, 10 reported
today from Pstro0rad. From the
shores edge. At HSpsal, opposite Daso
island. a railroad Iins runs direct to
Rsvai, the Russian naval base on tho
Gulf of Finland, and thence on to Pet
rograd.
The islands in question have them
selves been bases of no little impor-
tance to the Russians, especially for
airpIane activities. Their seizure would
undoubtedly hamper Russian naval
scouting work. effectually close the
Gulf Of Riga to Russian use and ap-
parently offer an excellent starting
point for land expedition for Petro-
grad if one should be contemplated
by the German command.
