tato day" and are asked to use
more potatoes and thereby save
flour and other food-stuffs that
must be sent "across," the house.
wife, ever on the alert for some
thing new, is now busy hunting
for recipes containing potatoes.
We have been asked q few times
il we had anything different" in
potato recipes; we didn't have any
Just then, but decided to try and
get some,i SO we wrote to Mrs.
Eugene Grubb, wife Of the potato
expert, and asked her to send us
some Of her famous ways Of pre-
pairing potatoes. Mrs. Grubb i'm
mediately forwarded US q copy Of
her husbands book, "The Potato"
which contains q great many Of
her excellent potato recipes, with
permission to publish as many Of
them as liked for the benefit Of
our lady readers. We are here
with publishing several Of them,
and viii publish others as space
will permit. These recipes are de-
licious, and II followed carefully,
will prove quite . treat to those
fond Of potatoes in any style.

BAKED POTATOES

When potatoes are cooked in their
skins, they lose nothing Of their food
value.
Place in . moderate oven for thirty
minutes or more then increase to quick
heat to finish. When done, take each
in . towel and squeeze lightly, enough
to crack the slins, which shculd nj Sc
baked until . thick crust is formed, as
by 20 doing the cortical layer, which
adds 80 much to the Acvor and nutri-
ton 10 lost. Potatoes treated this way
should be served at once; they may
be kept for some time II placed in .
warm oven.

MASHED POTATOES

Boil or steam potatoes in their sins
until very tkoroly done. Peel and
mash in q hot kettle, seasoning with
hot milk, adding hot butter and cream
according to taste. Many like the ad-
ded flavor Of q little grated onion or
finely minced chives. The secret Of
having these in perfection is in mash
ing and beating thoroly with q wire
beater until light and creamy.

LITTLE WAYS OF DOING THINGS

When your velvet bows began to
look wilted, freshen them this way:
Heat a curling iron to q good heat,
then wrap quickly with a damp cloth,
insert this in the loops of the bows, in
a few minutes they will look as fresh
as ever.
If you are troubled with the spools
of thread becoming scattered around
in your machine drawers, make your
self a spool rack by cutting piece Of
board the same size as the bottom Of
the machine drawer. Drive short and
not too thick nails into the board. with
a good distance between each one, then
set it in the machine drawer and put
the spools on the nails. They will
never become displaced.
A lady discovered that by cutting q
thick piece Of sand paper several times
dull shears become fairly sharp again.
When you have a pile of children's
hose to darn, and find some unusually
large holes in them, before darniag
them with yarn. first sew piece Of
net over the hole, then darn threw the
net. This is much easier and will last
longer.
For tan or light brown wash wa' lists
that have become faded, place them in
a strong coffee liquid and let stan,l "a
hours. II the waist will stand hot
water, have the coffee boiling not and
let stand only one hour.
Pale blue, Alice blue and the various
light shades Of blues now being worn
soon fade when washed very often
They can be freshened by simply max
ing q strong bath Of hot water and
ordinary laundry bluing, and letting
the faded article lie in the bath fol
"a hours. The stronger the bath, the
darker the shade of Blue will be
For flesh color and pink, q piece Of
turkey-red calico boiled In hot water
and the faded article placed In II fol
= short time will restore the color al.
most the same as dye.
To press . thin or fine waist that
has become mussed, pin large towe
or sheet to the ironing board, ther
dampen it good, but not soaky; la,
the waist on this and.iron in the usua
manner. The steam rising from ths
wet towel will be sufficient to take ou
the wrinkles from the waist.
