similar dishes can be used in place of
macaroni and spaghetti, and potato
dumplings can be used in place of
wheat dumplings. Cooked in combin-
alton with other foods, in meat pie,
for instance, potatoes may be depend
ed upon as the principal dinner dish.
There are also number of dishes,
such as potato pudding, which can be
used at dinner in place Of sweets
made Of wheat flour.
Tested Potato Recipes.
or the many possible recipes, the
following are suggested as more or
less typical:
Potato Soups potatoes, OF medi-
UNI size; 4 cups skim milk; small
onion; 4 tablespoons butter or other
fat; 2 tablespoons flour; Ia tea
spoons salt; 4 teaspoonful celery
salt, or l stalk OF celery cut In Inch
pieces; Is teaspoonful chopped pars-
ley ;little cayenne pepper or paprika.
Boil the potatoes and when soft rub
them through sieve Slice the on
ion and scald this and the celery with
the milk. Take out the onion and
celery and add the milk slowly to the
potatoes. Melt tablespoons butter
or fat, into which mix the dry ingre-
dients, and stir into the boiling soup.
Boil one minute ;strain, add the re-
mainder Of the butter or fat, and
sprinkle with the parsley when ready
to serve. The parsley improves the
looks and adds little to the flavor,
but may be omitted II this is more
convenient.
Stuffed Potatoes.
A nice way to secure variety is to
cut slice from the top OF each bak-
ed potato and scrape out the inside.
Mash, season with salt, pepper, chop
ped parsley or chopped celery leaf, or
onion juice (if liked), and butter, or
savory fat, and heat in little hot
milk; add 2 well-beaten whites of
eggs. Refill the skins, sprinkle with

MANY WAYS TO
COOK POTATOES
Bumper Crop of Them And
Every One Should Eat
Them.

Special DIspatoh to West virginiap)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. g
Are you eating your share of the
country's bumper potato crop?" asks
the United States Department of
Agriculture in a recent statement.
Now that the tubers are once more
plentiful and cheap the ymay well be
given a prominent place on the din
ner table," continues the statement
The department make sthe follow
ing suggestions in regard to the use
OF potatoes at dinner:
Potatoes at Dinner.
Potatoes may be freely used at
dinner, the variety which we all like
being secured by varying the ways in
which the potatoes are served. Then,
too, one should not overlook the fact
that, since both of them are foods
which are very palatable sources of
starch, by eating more potatoes one
can diminish the bread eaten and
thus help to say ewheat, which is such
an important matter at the present
time.
Many think that potatoes are at
their best when prepared in the SIM
plest ways. that is, baked or boiled,
but even so some variety Is possible,
for they may b ebaked in their jack
cts, or with the skins rubbed or scrap
ed off, or pared and baked in the pan
with meat, the juice they absorb I'm
proving their flavor. The skins may
be easil yrubbed off new potatoes, and
almost as easily fro mold potatoes
provided they are first dropped for
ten minutes in boiling water.
Potatoes may be boiled or steamed
in the jackets, peeled entirely, or with
only ring peeled around the center.
The boiled potatoes may be served as
they are, or mashed, or riced. Such
simple changes as these help to give
variety.
Minted Potatoes.
Boiled potatoes are at their best
when mealy, so, after boiling, the wa
ter should be poured off, a little salt
sprinkled over the potatoes. and the
kettle not quite covered, and placed
on the back OF the stove. so that they
may "dry out"
II you wish novelty, in boiling
new potatoes add few mint leaves
to the water in which they are cook
ed. In baking potatoes one should
always remember that to be their best
they should be served as soon as they
are done. II one can not serve them
at once, the skin on one side should
be slashed In order to allow the steam
to escape, and the potatoes kept hot.
Fried potatoes are also favorites,
and the ways in which they can be
either fried in deep fat or pan fried
are numerous and we'll known. Fried
potatoes seasoned with onion are a
common dinner dish and one should
remember that green peppers can be
used with the onions or in place Of
them.
Potatoes with Sauce or Cheese.
Potatoes baked with white sauce
and cheese, scalloped potatoes, and

grated cheese or berad crumbs, and
bake in hot oven about minutes.
Ernarnnd EntntnnS

bake in hot oven about minutes.
Dreamed Potatoes.
Theer are several different ways In
which creamed potatoes may be pre-
pared. (1) Freshly boiled or cold
boiled potatoes may be cut into small
cubes and served in cream sauce. (2)
Wash, pare. and cut potatoes into
small cubes. Put into frying pan with
a few slives OF onion cut up very fine,
and parboil 10 minutes. Pour off wa
ter. Add one tablespoonful butter
drippings or fat, seasoning OF salt and
pepper. and milk enough to cover.
Cook for Is or 20 minutes, or until
the potatoes are well done and the
sauce thick and creamy. 1t is neces-
sar yto stir the potatoes frequently to
prevent sticking. The starch in the
potatoes thlckens the sauce. Dreamed
potatoes are particularly good to
serve with fish or chicken.
HASH BROWN POTATOES.
Cut cold boiled potatoes into small
pieces g cupfuls), season with salt
and pepper, cook 8 minutes in one
third cup bacon drippings, stirring
constantly. Let stand few seconds
10 brown underneath; fold like an
omelet, and serve on hot platter.
These are very good with broiled
or fried Ash or meat.
Meat and Potato Pie with Potato
Crust.
Boil meat, cut into small pieces.
Mix with potatoes separately boiled
and cut up and put into baking dish.
Make crust by mixing smoothly
mashed potatoes to which a table
spoonful Of shortening has been add
ed, with enough -four and water to
make them roll out easily. A pie
made OF pound OF meat will require
five or six small boiled potatoes, a
cupful OF mashed potatoes, and eight
or ten tablespoonfuls of -four, and
should be baked about twenty min

Young Aston had suggested that he

the trarnp.poet variety. Even while
he liked to be denizen OF the old

were on the north side OF the square.
However, in the interests of art, he
had crossed the dead lines beyond

DISCOURSES ON PROPHECIES.

The series of Evangelistic meetings
at Memorial Hall began last Sunday
night and seem to be increasing in in
terest. "America Among the Nations"
was the theme of Evangelist S. b.
Horton, who dwelt upon the great
principles for which America has
stood for more than century and
which has been as it were a light
house to the nations of the old world.
The position was taken that Europe
was suffering the results of wrong
systems of government and for turn
ing its back upon God, and expressed
the hope that America would not re-
pudiate the principles which have
made it great. Especial emphasis
was made upon the fact that the
United States stood for complete
separation of state and church, and
warned against some of the stealthy
movements now at work in this coun-
try which if successful would bring
disaster upon the country and dis
favor from God.
The subjects for the next few nights
are as follows:-
Friday night, christianity Versus
Christianity"
Sunday night, "Has Christianity
Failed?"
Monday night, "Acid Test of True
Religion" Has Paw Paw Had a
Surfeit of it?
Tuesday night, "Jehovar's Sign of
Loyalty" an Observation-Disclosures
study.
Wednesday night, "The Mark of
Apostacy," an interdenominational
study.
These meetings are being conducted
by Evangelist S. B. Horton and j. M.
Hoyt.
