Potatoes

Last year at this time potatoes at So
per hundred took their rank among the
laristoRrats and assumed the airs and
graces of orchids and American Beauty
Roses. All, how desirable they were
then, How the sale of them increased.
And this year when potatoes form one
of the cheapest articles of food we can
buy. when they are abundant every
where, the public has grown less en-
thusiastic about them Are we food
snohs? Would we prefer to pay 4 big
price for the food we eat after all?
The potato is as good today, is as full
of nourishment and as delicious as
when it cost five cents a pound. SO.
instead of the consumption of this
plain article of diet falling off it should
increase. There is large surplus Of
potatoes on the market; there is a
dearth of wheat. Potatoes may be sub
stituted for wheat flour in many a
dish If they are used universally in
pie crust. in bread. in biscuit, cookies,
cakes, buildings, many thousand bush
els more would be consumed right here
in Montana. But many a housewife.

Ounce Of Preservative Worth Pound Of

This is the season of the year when
eggs are most plentiful and when they
reach the lowest price of the year. The
cold storage people know this. Then
they buy eggs to store for winter sale.
Also they make you pay well for this
service. why not go the storage peo-

and conserve your cash.
How to properly store eggs in the
home is the subject of the demoustra-
