POTATO RECIPES
FOR FAMILY Use
Millions of Bushels of Good Food
Will Be Lost Unless Con-
sumed Quickly. s.ses
MADE A DUTY and PLEASURE
Some Menus Worked Out by Experts
Without Allowing Them to Be-
come Monotonous-Others Are
Easily Obtainable.

Do you know that there are mill
lions of bushels of potatoes in the
United States in excess of the usual
supply at this time of year, and that,
unless people generally eat more pota-
toes than they ordinarily do, millions
of bushels of good food will be lost
at O time when nearly the whole world
is suffering for food? Potatoes are
bulky and heavy and cannot well be
transported over seas. The United
States must eat its own potatoes and
release other foods for export.
Eating potatoes every day is duty
and eating potatoes every meal can
be made q pleasure. Following are
some recipes, worked out by the cook
ing experts of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, covering
every meal for two days. Similar
recipes, both economical and palatable,
have been worked out covering every
meal for week.
For breakfast:
Potato OmeIet.

and yolks. Add the yolks to the potato
and beat until there are no Jumps.
Season with onion juice, If desired,
and chopped parsley. Beat the whites
until stiff and fold into the potato
mixture. Put into a well-oiled frying
pan and bake in oven until brown.
Then turn and fold on hot platter.
Serve at once.
For lunch or supper:

The salt pork should be cut into
small pieces and cooked with the
chopped onion until the onion is a
golden brown. Add the potato and
cook for ten minutes. Add the milk
and corn and cook slowly in double
boiler. Add the flour mixed to
smooth paste with an equal amount of
cold water. Add the pepper and addi-
tional salt if necessary. Cook until
the mixture is creamy. .-,-
For dinner:
Drowned Potatoes With Roast Beef.
Parboil potatoes for ten minutes.
Remove the skins and place the pota-
toes on a roasting rack with meat.
Bake them for about 40 minutes, or
until the potatoes are tender, basting
them occasionally with the juice in
the pan.
Use the leftover potatoes to make
potato cakes. They are very good
served for breakfast with crisp slices
of bacon. Brown them in the bacon
fat.
Potato Cakes.
Season cold mashed or riced pota-
toes to taste with salt and pepper, and
mix with a little milk. Add egg, If
desired. Mold with the hands into
small round cakes. Fry on both sides
in well-greased skillet, frying pan, or
griddle, and serve hot.

European peoples, with whom the
United States is associated in the
conduct of the war, and must be as
ISOLATED in negotiations for peace, in
the effective unity of the American
people might be g'ravely impaired.
Patriotic Americans may doubt the
soundneSs of both the conclusions at
which the President has arrived.
Especially is it easy to doubt whether
the fact that the Republican Party
had become the majority party and
the Democratic Party had been
placed in the position of a. loyal oppo-
sition party both parties being in
favor of the most vigorous possible
prosecution OF the war and of the
conclusion of peace only on terms
which would make q lasting peace
probable, would affect unfavorably'
the influence of the Administration
on European opinion. These doubts,
however, may we'll be silenced by the
reflection that the President of the
United States is at this moment in
better position than any other Amer
lean or any European to understand
the effect of transferring the control
of Congress to the Republican Party
at this critical stage of the war,
The replies of the Republican
leaders to President Wilson's appeal,
and the exhortations which EXPIRES
dents Roosevelt and aft have ad-
dressed to their countrymen since
President Wilson'S appeal appeared,
go to show that President Wilson is
right In his judgment concerning the
probable effects of giving the control
Of Congress to the Republican Party.
All these eminent Republicans are
now proposing in their published
proclamations to force the advocacy
of particular policy called "uncon-
ditional surrender" on the present
Administration; and they assume
without warrant that those two words
do not describe the ultimate policy
of the Democratic Administration. At

BY THEIR DEEDS

In another column will be found
an account of speech delivered in
this city last evening by Senator G.. c..
Hemenway of Hartford, a, Democrat,
who reviewed the record of Senator
George w. Klett in the matter of vot-
ing for 'progressive' measures. The
speaker is a man of established repu-
tation, and he naturally is compelled
to be most accurate in attacking
Judge Klett on the latter's record.
The array of measures which it is
stated were voted against or opposed
by the Senator from this district is an
imposing one, and unless the, Judge
can show his legislative action in the
premises in a different light, it may
be difficult for him to explain just
wherein his claim co progressivenes s
is justified. We await with no little
interest Senator Klett's reply to the
charges against him.

ten the following letter to the New
York Times, in which he points out
the necessity of supporting President
Wilson on November 5, by re-electing
a Democratic congress:
Within a week thousands of patri-
otic m EN- bers of the Republican Par
tv and thousands Of independent vot-
ers must make up their minds how
they will vote in tho election Of MEM
bers Of Congress. In districts which
are clearly Republican or clearly
Democratic their decision will not be
of serious importance; but In doubt
full districts, or in districts where the
war has wrought decided changes in
the political views of some consider
able fraction Of the constituency,
their decision may prove to be very
important.

And I'll keep production going every
minute of the day"
Said the soldier to the workman as

I'll be true to you, my brother, if
you'll just be true to me!

But it's yours to keep on toiling if
we're going to lick the Hun"

Lodges personal attack on President
Wilson in 1916, charging him, on the
authority of smoking car gossip, with
having privately notified Germany

mean what it said--a charge he later
was forced to admit was false.
And tken Robert M. LaFollette,

This conjecture is all based on vir-

The country will have nc difficulty
deciding whether it wishes men of

Berlin VIII not, Of course, be
reduced to ruins by the Allies
unless, perchanCe, it must in the
course Of the war be subjected to
bonn bardment. Its ruin would
then be incidental to necessary
military operations and not the
result of a barbaric spirit OF de-
Structi0n and WantOnnGSs. We
shall not initiate the Huns. For
the sake of emphasis Mr.. Quig-
ley uses the rhetorical figure of
hyDcrbolc. II is q well recCg-
nized figure in written and print
ed speech, and it is often very
fOrcefGI. What Mr.. QuigleN
wants. and what we all want, is
that Germany must be made to
feel the full weight of the war
and be made to pay in some
manner for the vast amount of
damage she has done to Others
She must pay the penalty for her
Wrongdoing.
These are the facts. Mr.. Quigley
says Berlin must be reduced to ruins.
The "Courant' says it must not be
reduced to ruins, and hints that we
must not take too literally every
thing that Mr.. Lonergan's opponent
says. We are now perplexed to know
which view to take. If Mr.. Quigley's
own party organ repudiates him and
states that he resorts to hyperboli-
cal eXaggerations, then just how
much trust shall we place in other
statements by Mr.. Quigley? Shall we
accept his daily politial declarations
on their face value or must we wait
until the next morning and read in
the ''Courant'' an aplogetic explana-
ton of what he meant to say?

SUPPOSING-

Suppose the Republicans SHOULD
win in the fall elections, and send a
Republican Congress to Washington
to "help'' President Wilson. Suppose
the G. o. P. should win the House
and control the Senate, what then?
Remember the Old Guard, crushed
In 1912 because it stood in the way
of progressive and democratic prin-
ciples. In the short six years that
have elapsed the country has trav-
eled further in the direction of de-
cent and scientific political develop
ment than it travelled in the preced-
ing sixty years. Bear this progress
in mind, do not forget that it was
Democratic Administration and
Democratic Congress that made it
possible and then look ahead to a
possible Republican victory this fall.
James K. Mann, of Illinois, minor
ity leader, would become majority
leader or Speaker of the House of
Representatives. He voted AGAINST
three revenue bills, the Shipping
Board bill. the Espionage Act, against
tabling the McLemore resolution.
His attitude toward Presidents Will
sons foreign policy was criticised
even by Republican newspapers in
1917 Joseph w. Fordney, of Mich
igan, who voted against the Shipping
Board BILL against tabling the Nc
Lemore resolution, and against two
of the last three revenue bills, would
lead the Ways and Means commit
chusetts, would head the Appropria-
tons committee. He opposed the
Shipping Board and Food Survey
acts, and merely voted present on the
last great revenue bill.
Henry Allen Cooper, of Wisconsin,
who would have headed the Foreign
Affairs committee, lost in the primar-
les because he voted against the war
resolution, against taDling the Nc
Lemore resolution, and tried to null
lily the Armed Neutrality Act. Ste
phen G. Porter, of Pennsylvania, now
in line for chairman in a Republican
Congress, aided Cooper's< fight on
Armed Neutrality. John J. Esch,
another Wisconsin Republican. voted
with Cooper on the three measures
named above. He would become
eign Commerce committees Gilbert
N. Haugen, of Iowa, another who vot-
ed against the war resolution, against
the Food Survey and Espionage acts,
and against tabling the McLemore
resolution, would head the Agricul-
ture committee. Philip P. Campbell,
of Kansas, who voted with Cooper
against Armed Neutrality and against
the Espionage and Food Survey acts,
would head the Rules committee.
Everis A. Hayes, of California, an
other anti-war Republican, would
head the Banking and Currency
committee.
If that outfit of anti-war. standpat
Republicans at the helm in the
House could not help" President
Wilson sufficiently perhaps this CO.

assistance.
