Making Flour Of Potatoes.

Potato drying is a comparatively
new industry on this side; but dried
potato flakes and potato flour are used
extensively in Europe, where the -four
is utilized in all kinds of bakery goods.
The 1913 government report showed
that imports of potato flour were 49,.
71O,4S8 pounds. Potato flakes can be
turned almost instantly into mashed
potatoes and would be especially vel.

Man Living Saw Napoleon.

The English papers report that DR..
julius Lukacs Of Budapest, uncle Of
a former Hungarian prime minister,
has just celebrated the one hundred
and fifteenth anniversary of his birth.
He thinks that he is the Oldest man
in Europe, and unless later returns
change the count, he Is. In recent
interview Doctor Lukacs said that he
remembers seeing the great Napoleon's
second wife, Marie Louise of Austria,
and their son, the so-called King of
Rome, whose little life was snuffed
out just as his training days We're end
ed and his days Of performance began.
Doctor Lukacs is safe enough in his
memories; no one can contradict him.

A Versatile Judge.

Horace Smith, the octagenarian
magistrate in London, who has just
retired from the bench, was known
to have composed a hymn while at
the same time he was listening to q
government attorney expound the evi.
dence against prisoner who, in the
nature of the case, would have to be
remanded to Il higher court. At the
close of the case, the attorney, who
met the magistrate in the hall Of the
court, asked him why he had been at
the pains to take notes and received
as reply the hymn which he had
composed at the time. The magis.

Here is part Of cablegram from
Major Murphy to the Red Cross at
Washington:
"Last winter broke the record for

What the Red Cros, Must

the Red Cross from France-one of
the emergencies to meet which the Red

the Red Cross is this minute respond

American soldiers and for the desti-

100000 warm, knitted, wooden arti-
cles-must have them before cold

Spoons VS.. Chopsticks.

While China and Japan take rice
with chopsticks, Korea eats hers with
a spoon. Prediction is that the next
step will usher in the broad fork. One
reason for this popularity is that in
the Analects of Confucius record ex.
lists that the master ate his millet, no.
with chopsticks, but with a spoon
Every saying that pertains to Confu.
cius is reverently regarded In Korea.

CHINESE COOKING IS WEIRD
Fearful and Wonderful pishes An
Characteristic Of Most Subtle and
Complex Of Peoples.

You can tell what a man is by what
ne eats, and it Is even more true that
the character Of a people is expressed
In Its cooking. The English dishes,
plain but tasty, unspiced and sauce
less, but very thoroughly done, are
certainly among the most British of
things. French cookery in its elabo.
rate and artistic appeal to the senses
Is Just like much French fiction. And
1t Is not surprising that the Chinese
the most subtle, mysterious and com.
-plex Of peoples, should produce dishes
which are fearful and wonderful to
the palates and noses Of occidentals.
II you have the temerity to study
the Chinese character from this angle

only by Chinese. You can find it in

until it would take chemical an.

The MongOlian taste for rat meat
has been immortalized by the Ameri.
Gun small boy in that famous folk
poem which begins, "Chink, chink,
Chinaman;" but rat eating is, after
all, not essentially different from eating
squirrels. Less comprehensive is the
Chinese specification for good egg.
An egg to win favor in Chinatown must
be distinctly high.

Well, as was saying, Josie's insides
are always out of gear, and she's always
threatened with almost fatal things and
all her operations have been performed
Just in the nick Of time-and she would
always certainly have been dead in
week if the doctor hadn't intervened just
when he did. Of course, we all know that
81 Aunt Josie had ever had half the
things she's been credited with, she
would have been dead long ago for no
one set of organs could staad having all
those Latin names hurled at them. But
yosie's kind of queer that way and she
sets great store by having had more op-
erations than any other woman in the
neighborhood and her husband never
could refuse her anything, anyway,
Well, right in the middle of it, we saw
Missus Drew, that Aunt Sairy met at the
whist club, coming up the walk and, af-
ter we had made her and Aunt Josie ac-
quainted, Aunt Sairy and l went inside
TO do up the mess of dishes that was left
from dinner, Sairy explaining that she
hadn't wanted that horde Of women put
tering around her kitchen and cluttering
more than they cleared up.
The Washington times., 1917-08-26

Aunt Sairy wasn't feeling any too good
natured being as how she had had q little
spat with Uncle Fred, she having warned
him not to go off and leave her with all
the company on her hands and he having
gone out the side door the first chance
he got and hadn't been seen since and then
too her little girl Doris being somewhat
OF trial on Sundays being as how Sairy
thinks il isn't Christian to let child play
much Of a Sunday and her keeping Doris
sitting all day in her best starched dress
and Doris frettinE something awful under
the strain OF having to sit still and keep
clean. Far be IL from me to dictate about
other peoples children but II I'd ever been
unfortunate enough TO marry and have
children, think wouldn't try TO impress
them with Sunday at too early an age
By the time we got back onto the
porch Mrs. Jones from down on the other
street and her son George had come and
was right sorry for George being as how
his mother totes him around with her
every chance she gets when it's as plain
the nose on your face that George isn't
the model young son his mother wants him
