WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
THE SUGAR SHORTAGE.

From the st. Adams Messenger)
We can make easy substitution for SUI
gar here in Vermont. A hotel in New
York is already serving famous prod
uct of the Green Mountain State as a
substitute. White sugar in that hotel
costs Ave cents a portion extra. but for
coffee and tea a little pitcher Of maple
syrup is furnished free Of charge. and
its use in table drinks is said to be most
satisfactory. This New York hotel has
bought hundreds Of gallons Of syrup al
ready and the extension of it's use is pre-
dicted.
What they are doing there we can do
| here, even to better advantage. There is
also a hint of war service in 1t all to
| Vermonters who own sugar bushes. Ver-
mont's maple production Is not what 1t
should be. 1t should greatly increase un-
| der war stimulus. II God has given us
marie groves we ought to make use Of
them to help whip the Germans. Next
! spring ought to see marked increase
in the production of maple products in
Vermont. 1t is none too early for pro-
ducero 10 begin to make their plans.

POTATO RECIPES,

Potatoes baked with white sauce and
cheese. scalloped potatoes. and similar
dishes can be used in place Of macaroni
and spaghetti and potato dumplings can
be used in place Of wheat dumplings
Cooked In combination with other foods,
in a meat pie. for instance. potatoes may
be depended upon as the principal dinner
dish. There are also o number Of dishes
such as potato pudding, which can be
usesd at dinner in place Of sweets made
of wheat flour.
TESTED POTATO RECIPES.
OF the many possible recipes. the fol-
lowing are suggested as more or less typ
teal:
POTATO SOUP.
Three potatoes. Of medium size. four
cups skim milk. one small onion, four
tablespoons butter or other fat. two table,
spoons flour. one and one-half teaspoons
salt. one-quarter teaspoon celery salt, or
one stalk Of celery cut in inch pieces. one
eighth teaspoon chopped parsley. Little
cayenne pepper or paprika.
Boil the potatoes and when soft rub
them through a sieve. Slice the onion and
scald this and the celery with the milk
Take out the onion and celery and add
the milk slowly to the potatoes. Melt
two tablespoons butter or fat. into which
mix the dry ingredients, and stir into
the boiling soup Boil one minute; strain,
add the remainder Of the butter, or fat,
and sprinkle with the parsley when ready
to serve. The parsley improves the looks
and adds a little to the flavor, but may
be omitted IL this is more convenient.
STUFFED POTATOES.
A nice way to secure variety is to cut
a slice from the top Of each baked potato
and scrape out the inside. Mash, season
with SALT pepper, chopped parsley or
chopped celery leaf. or onion juice az
liked). and butter or savory fat and
heat In a little hot milk: add two we'll.
beaten whites Of eggs. Refill the skins,
sprinkle with created cheese or bread
crumbs. and bake in hot oven about
six minutes.
DREAMED POTATOES.
There are several different ways in
which creamed potatoes may be prepared
~. Freshly boiled or cold boiled pota-
toes may be cut into small cubes and
served heated In cream sauce. (2). Wash,
pare. and cut potatoes into small cubes
Put into frying pan with a few slices OF
onion cut up very fine. and parboil II
minutes. Pour Off water. Add one table
spoon butter drippings. or other fat,
seasoning Of salt and paper. and mill,
enough to cover. Cook for Is or 20 min
utes. or until the potatoes are we'll done
and the sauce thick and creamy. 1t Is
necessary to stir the potatoes frequently
to prevent sticking. The starch in the
potatoes thickens the sauce. Dreamed
potatoes are particularly good to serve
with fish or chicken.
HASHED BROWN POTATOES.
Cut cold boiled potatoes into small
pieces 1.-TWO cupfuls). season with salt and
pepper. cook three minutes in one third
cup bacon drippings. stirring constantly
Let stand few seconds to brown under
heath; fold like an omelet. and serve on
a hot platter.
These are very good with broiled or
fried fish or meat

VERMONTS RECORD.
H'rom the Island Pond Herald.)

Newspapers in severa! New England
States and New York have repeatedly
called Vermont n Stacker" In the matter
OF enl!stments. Why they should persist
In this when statistics issued by the gov
eminent refutes such assertion. Is past
understanding unless 1t Is done to try
and cover up the record OF their own
state In this matter. Vermont was sur
passed by only five States. excluding the
District Of Columbia and Territory OF
Hawaii. on July /. 1917 in its proportiona!
number OF enlistments In the regular army
and National Guard. oregon ranks first
among the States, Maine second. New
Hampshire third RhodeIsland fourth.
wyoming fifth, and Vermont sixth.
Massachusetts ranks II and New York 20.
1t is mighty poor taste for Massachusetts
ana New York papers to call Vermont a
'slacker' in this matter. Besides the
government records which credit YER
mont July I, 1917. with 2,lSS enlistments
there are many Vermonters in the Can
adam army and other military depart
ments making total Of over 1000 YER
mont boys enlisted In this war. These
unjust critics look over the beam in their
own eye to see the mote in their neigh
bor's. 1t would he wise for them to
spend their energies in correcting some
or their own shortcomings in this matter.

PHYSICAL LESSONS OF THE WAR.
One OF the manifold BENEFITS to result
from the discipline and the revival of
plain living necessitated by this great war
is q worldwide object lesson in sanitation
and health. One of the remarkable de-
velopments Of the struggle is the fact
that where people have been obliged to
be more careful than formerly in rela-
ton to their food there has been an &C.
tual improvement in conditions as shown
by vital statistics and general conditions.
You have all read how the Germans are
more healthy now with the exceptions Of
the poorer classes who have been de-
prived Of necessities. Another remark
able fact is that the care and discipline in
the armies as regards diet and sanitation
have resulted in a marked elimination of
diseases, and in a general toning up of
all the men. growing in part out Of their
exercise in the open air.
Girard in his Talk of the Day. In the
Philadelphia Telegraph. formerly con-

the safest places to be is in an army.
That is not an epigram but a fact. An
official report shows that the death rate
from disease in all German armies is
not more than half the death rate in
Philadelphia and other cities.
Another Official report shows that in
six months the killed and prisoners in
the whole French army was only twelve
in every 1000 troops. Meade's army SUI.
fered over three times that much in three
days at Gettysburg.
This great struggle has many horrible
and horrifying aspects and conditions.
1t has host of lessons for US, however.
