GRANDPA BOWMAN DEAD.

MIR. William H. Bowman, we'll
known to our people, died at the
home of his daughter. Mrs Charles
Wildly in Audubon yesterday
Since the death of Mrs. Bowman
about two years ago, Mr.. Bowman
has been failing rapidly.
He was the father of Mrs. Otto
Witthauer CT this city where he
and Mrs Bowman had spent the
greater part of their lives The
old people joined properties with
his son-in-law, Hon. Otto Witthauer
and having reasonably good health
their visits We're almost daily oc-
currence and life went pleasantly
but the sickness which eliminated
i'm the separation for life caused
a grief for the loss of his compan-
ion which reached it's climax yes
terday.
Mr.. Bowman had the respect OF
all who knew him.

THE POSSIBILITIES
OF THE POTATO

1t lis we'll that the American peo-
pile better appreciate the value of
the potato.
They haven't beel. 1oing it i'm
the past. In 1914 Germany pro-
duced 1674,377.O0O bushels of
potatoes; the United States in
1914-it's biggest crop year pro-
duced only 4O9,921.00O bushels;
and last year less than 100000. 900
bushels. .....
But here is the explanation. In
Germany there are 400 factories
DRYING potatoes, which operation
TURNS them into potato flakes that
may be kept indefinitely. The dry
ing process is quite simple, Ised-
ing NO elaborate machanery- about
as much aus an ordinary creamery
and the result in Germany has
been that this industry alone has
been al potent factor in defeat
ing the British blockade.
For us and our allies QUIZ huge
potato crop this year may mean
the defeat of the enemy. And ii
we have hundreds of potato drying
factories the product would be able
to eeed our allies and ourselves
despite poor wheat crops.
There Is no doubt the potato crop
has been underestimated in this
country. 1t is LIKELY that within the
next decade potato drying plants
will spring UP throughout the coun-
try; and when the building of such
plants begins Audubon County
should have one.

The canning school is held in Room
40, Central High school, at Twentieth
and Dodge streets, all of the week of
June II and the week of June IS. The
classes begin Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays and it is not necessary
for an out-of-town woman to register
ahead of timex The classes begin at
9 a. m. The fee is 81. Each woman
brings four pint jars, which she fills
at the school. She also brings a large
apron, hand towel and tea towel.
If you prefer, you may buy the jars
at the school.
V. A. D., Glenwood, Ia: To pre-
vent a one-crust pie from slipping
down in places, you may bake it on
the back Of the pan, then slip it into
the pan after it is baked to fill it. An
other method of preventing slipping
is to fit the crust very carefully into
the pan and build up :. rim. To make
a rim allow about half-inch of crust
all around the edge, then pinch this
extra half-inch back and perpendicu-
lar to form a rim. If there are any
other points with which l can help
you, shall be very glad to be of as

Thus if bouillon, ice cream and cof,
fee are all to be served, the coffee
spoon is next to the knife, the tea.
spoon next, and at the outside the
bouillon spoon. The same rule ap-
plies to knives. The fish knife is far
ther from the plate than the dinner
knife. On the left side the forks are
ranged in the order of use according
to the same rule. At a very formal
meal, where much silver is needed il
is now customary to have only mod
crate amount displayed on the table
and bring in the rest with each course
as needed. If a butter spread is pro-
vided, it is laid across the upper right
hand part of the bread and butter
plate, or on the table cloth just above
and to the eight oFthe bread and but
ter plate. The water goblet or tum-
bier is placed directly above the knife,
and the bread and butter plate above
the fork. The napkin is placed to the
left OF the fork with the open corner
toward the person-that is, toward
the plate and the edge Of the table.
There again the rule OF common sense
is the basis for this idea of placing the
napkin.
Individual salt cellars may be used,
or a pair of salt and pepper shakers
for each two people. The kwer peo-
pie the salt cellar is to serve the
closer to the individual plate it is
placed. When the set must serve sew
eral people, it is placed further to the
center OF he table. The question of
table decoration has already been dis
cussed in this column, but the choice
of a center piece may be mentioned

Substitutes for Tin Cans

A large part Of the high cost OF
living is accounted for by the cost
of the containers in which many COM
modities are marketed; and one of the
anxieties which surround the prepara-
tions for TIE conservation OF food
supplies and the prevention of waste
in the immediate future arises from
the certainty that there will be seri-
Gus shortage>in the materials for cans.
In anticipation OF this difficulty the
Department of Commerce, in COLA
boration with the Bureau of Stand
ards, has done a public service by the
issue OF pamphlet giving wise coun-
sci to the Gamers and the public rela-
tive to possible substitutes for tin
cans and to ways and means OF off
setting any possible shortage.
There are certain things, of course,
for the preservation Of which tin is
a necessity. In other cases tin con-
tainers. have assumed an advertising
value which makes their abandon
ment matter of serious sacrifice. But
there are host of present uses for
which no such plea can be made
and the government pamphlet re-
ferred to points out the large class
of food commodities capable of being
distributed i'll paper or fiber contain
ers. 1t is suggested, moreover, that
large consumers can contribute to the
national economy by purchasing in
quantity. thus lessening the demand
for smaller tin cans and boxes. To
make a plan of this sort effective,
there will have to be cordial cooper
alton between manufacturers, packers.
Gamers and consumers, and it will
be the part of patriotism for all con-
cerned to do their full part in bring
ing this about. incidentally, the pub
lie will want to know how far the
high prices that are being charged
for glass and tin are due to real
scarcity, and how far they are to be
to mere prohteering. 1t is
to ascertain this that the government
is asking for increased powers of in
quiry" as to every detail concerning
the, production and distribution of
foodstuffs.

Table Setting.

No matter how enthusiastically and
conscientiously we may be conserving
our food SUPPLY at the present time,
still we must set our tables and serve
our meals. Whether we have two
course or a hve-course dinner, it may
be served beautifully and carefully,
thus adding to the graciousness OF
every day living.
In setting table the first point is
the choice of the table linen. No
matter what the quality, the cloth
should be beautifully laundered and
spotlessl y clean. Because OF the labor
involved in laundering table linen, the
modern ! breakfast cloth is just the
size of the table, and for breakfast or
luncheon a set of doilies is often used.
The breakfast or luncheon set need
no be white, for natural colored linen
is equally attractive and much less
labor to care for. Some progressive
housewives who have to consider the
labor Of the household find the linen
dolly sets as satisfactory for dinner
as for the less formal meals of the
day And surely anything is prefer
able toIa soiled white table cloth. If
a cloth is used, it should be placed
on the table with the creases straight.
Each place at table is called a
cover, and twenty-four inches of space
is ,reconunended for each cover if pos
sible. Too small space makes for
awkwardness both for the people at
table and the maid. In. setting a
cover the plate and silver should be
set parallel with the edge of the table
if the table is square, or with the same
curve as the table edge if the table is
round. All silver should be placed |
about one inch from the edge of the
table. The plate is first set. then the
fork at the left and the knife at the
right with TIE blade turned toward |
the plate. The basis of all rules of
table setting and courtesy is really
common sense, and it is sensible to
have the knife and fork nearest the
hand that is to pick up each. On the
side with the knife, the spoons are
placed in the order in which they will
be used, the outside to be used first.

again. For a small table the~center
piece may be tall, provided it is very
slender, as single flower vase. For
large table, however, a single flower
vase looks lost, unless used with cam
dies. A tall, large bouquet should
never be used because it>obstructs the
view across the table and interferes
with table conversation. A low bowl
of flowers is always pleasing. The
new very fiat pottery bowls with
flower standards in the center do not
obstruct the view because the flowers
can never be solidly massed in the
standards.
