TO PREPARE FROZEN POTATO
ES-When your Irish potatoes freeze
in extreme weather, boil them with
their jackets on while frozen until
they can be pierced with fork
After they are cooled the jackets
can be removed without wasting
any of the potato. Mash them up
and put in them one beaten egg,

TO KEEP PANCAKES HOT
Keep the casserole on the stove and
as soon as pan cake gets done, put

Fathers Clothes.

The discovery made by the bureau of statistics
that in New York spend more money on their
clothes than women do tends to dissipate an old
aspersion respecting feminine extravaganza. From
study of the household budgets of 100 families pos
sessing average incomes of $1,000, the found
that fathers wardrobe costs $73I7 year big broth
ers $7O41 sisters S6213 while mothers allow
ance for suits dresses hats coats underwear gloves
stockings, etc, is only $500
These disillusoning figures In the good old
days when wore velvet and silk costumes with
ems in costliness In modern England the masculine
wardrobe, what with sports clothes clothes for for
mai and lounge silk hats and ALL has been as
sumed to cost as much the feminine wardrobe In
Berlin, talors' bills before the downfall OF the mill
tary caste were more than the equal of dressmakers
But the American husband and father has not been
commonly regarded a biro or pIumage II he is
spending for clothes than the women Of his
family the reason must be found in the necessity o+
presenting a neat appearance at the office and in
the higher cost of material for mems clothing Mere
man, alasi cannot make himself presentable in
shirt waist and duck skirt
But are families with incomes Of 81 300 spending
$2575o year. or 20 per cent on clothes? On this
scale family with an income of 1000 should spend
$1,000 for clothes which believed to be above the
average. If figures are correct they illustrate
anew the disadvantage under which people of mod
crate means labor in keeping up appearances in the
face Of mounting cost OF nving-New York World.

Every intelligent mother knows
that a baby is healthier and hence

follow that the baby should have d
daily bath all his life long. When
the baby is old enough to take care
of himself. then a bath twice a

sired in summer is all that health

The habit of daily bathing,

as absurd as the habit of bathing

more things than just soap and

exercise are never clean. Those
who overdress-wear more clothing

cannot keep clean.
Nature covers the skin with a
perfect emolient beauty cream, the
sebum or oil secreted by the Sc
baceous glands. This oil serves to
keep the skin naturally soft, pill

better than soap and dope. If you

and with that idea in view proceed
to wash your sebum away with too
