The dandelion contains taraxicum,

The lack of exercise In winter is one
of the worst features of our living, for
exercise is life to the body. The liver
from inactivity and plenty of food be-
comes clogged and does not do Its
work, hence biliousness and various
other annoying ills. The liver Is one
of the most important organs in the
body and must be kept free to work its
process of elimination. When clogged
the whole machinery of the body is
out of order.

Potato Breads-Try Them.


That we can use potato with flour
is not surprising. for the food SUBJ
stance potato supplies most abundant
ly Is starch, and it is largely because
of the starch they contain that the
world uses cereal grains as bread
stuffs. 1t will very often be found,
with little experimenting, that one
third to one-half of the flour in some
favorite recipe can be replaced with
mashed potato.
If potato is used for bread making
allowance must be made for the large
amount of water in 1t and less addi-
tional liquid used for this reason.
Potato Bread.

Short process: Mix the salt with
the mashed potatoes which are free
from Jumps and cooled until lukewarm.
Add one-sixth to one-half cake COM
pressed yeast softened in four table
spoonfuls Of warm water, or two to
four teaspoonfuls of liquid yeast, or
one-half cake dry yeast. When liquid
yeast is used no additional water must
be added. Blend with this potato and
yeast mixture one cupful flour. Stir
until smooth, cover, and set to rise.
When this sponge is light and soft,

lating seasoning to add to any dish,
unless the patient objects to the
flavor.
Glazed Sweetbreads.-Parbo the
heart sweetbread, drain and remove
all connecting tissue, then place In
ramekin. Dissolve a teaspoonful OF
beef extract in two teaspoonfuls of
boiling water, season with salt and
paprika and pour over the sweetbread.
Cook in a hot oven basting often.
When glazed over transfer to hot
dish, surround with seasoned hot peas
and serve at once.
Cabbage, when 1t is allowed Is very
nice shredded very fine, crisped in
cold water and served after drying
we'll, with French dressing. This salad
is especially good to follow the sweet
bread.
AS English sparrows are so numer-
Gus, this year of conservation would
be good time to put four and twenty
into a pie. They may be skinned
feathers and all, 1t takes but few
minutes to prepare them and one
broiled in paper Is excellent for It'd
be any objection to the bird Itself,
why tell them all the details. The
sparrow is a grain eating bird and
there should be absolutely no more
objection to them than to the squab
or pigeon.
A simple salad such as head lettuce
with French dressing may often be
served, chopped celery, shredded let
tuce, cottage cheese, as well as water
cress are all good at times.
FIaked Eggs.-Break two eggs into
bowl and beat just long enough to
mix well, put one-fourth of cupful
of milk In small pan and when
scalding stir in the eggs and cook un-
til the white is in flakes. Season

POTATOES INSTEAD o
WHEAT.

Use Of potatoes to save wheat
is demanded by the present situ-
alton because greater quantities
of wheat must be conserved for
the use of the American forces
and the allied armies in Europe,
and also because an unusually
large supply of potatoes remains
in the hands Of the growers.
Great quantities of these will go
to waste unless they are used
even more freely and in great
er variety of ways than is Gus
tomary in American families
With the basic price of wheat
fixed as at present, flour is $13.7O
a barrel, or z cents pound. If,
then, potatoes can be obtained
at $1.20 a bushel, which is 2
cents pound, it is an economy
as well as q war service to use
potatoes as a substitute for flour
in bread making. Even at 3
cents a pound the potatoes cost
no more than flour.
Ways to use potatoes in place
of flour for various uses, par
ticularly in bread making, are
shown by carefully worked out
recipes in publications of the
United States department of
agriculture. Some Of these
recipes are given here.

Potted Hominy and Meat.-Chicken

WHEAT SAVING IS

WarHeIpIng Housewife Is Constantly
on Lookout for New Recipes for
Bread and Cakes Requiring q
Less White Flour.

Every war-helping housewife, now
that greater efforts must be made to
save wheat, is ON the lookout for new
recipes for breads and cakes that re-
Quire less white flour or none at all.
Perhaps these recipes will help her
solve the problem of the wheatleSs
meals. Many good quick breads can be
made from other fours or meals and,
If used often, constitute great saving

without the molasses and raisins.
If desired, an amount of grated raw
potato equal to the amount of mashed
potato called for may be used, but the
resulting bread is darker and has a
more marked potato flavor than when
cooked potatoes are used.
Try this recipe for tea biscuits. No
tice that the liquid is less than is the
case when all flour is used, because

Do not knead. Place on Toured board,
