Spring

Spring is nature apology for Sum
mer and Winter.
Everyone, including the man who
froze his face last January and the
man who suffered heat prostration
last August, is supposed to be happy
in Spring.
Spring is the time of year when ra-
diators, tea kettles and prima donnas
quit singing and the birds begin.
Spring is everywhere, in Spring. In
the step, the. eye, the atmosphere, ev-
erywhere. There 5 only one place where
Spring ism t. That S in 81 day hotel

The only unpleasant thing about
Spring is poets.

Selection of Potatoes
For Table Purpose:


poses the following points should be
kept in mind: First, that smooth pota-
toes are more desirable than rough
ones because they are more easily pre-
pared and less loss is involved in the
pairing; second, that tubers which have
been exposed to light for any consider
able period soon acquire more or less
acrid taste; third, that very large pota-
toes are not especially desirable partly
on account Of the greater length Of
time required to cook them uniformly
and partly because they are often very
variable in texture; fourth. good po-
tato should be firm and crisp when cut,
and thin cross section when held be
tween the eye and the light should
show a relatively uniform distribution
of starch throughout its whole area as
opposed to large translucent. watery
central area, which denotes lack Of
starch in this portion of the tuber.
The even distribution of starch insures
greater uniformity in cooking and in
texture of the flesh when cooked
If lot is not uniform it is often
worth while to sort them and use the
large ones with roast meats or at other
times when the oven need not be espe-
cially heated and save the small ones
for occasions when quick cooking is
more convenient. When the potatoes
are very large or time is pressing it is
often desirable to increase the surface
exposed to the heat by cutting them in
pieces before cooking in spite of the
fact that this slightly increases the
amount of nutrients lost.
