Mixing Potato Bread.

the possibilities of increasing the to-
tai yield in this country cannot be
estimated. Potatoes are a perishable
crop-cannot be exported to foreign
countries, cannot be carried over from
one season to another The potatoes
we grow in this country we must use
1T home. The nature Of potato starch
Is so nearly the same as wheat flour
that there is no difficulty in using this
combination in bread making.
Last season the farmers Of the
United States produced about 100000
900 bushels Of potatoes. About lOo,-
100000 bushels of this crop were SMALL
irregular, unmarketable potatoes.
I earnestly believe that in no other
way can so great saving be made in
food in America with so little labor
and so small expense as the use Of
small potatoes in the making of bread
in place Of small grains which can be
shipped to our soldiers and the fighting
armies Of the allies to help us win this
war.
Baked or boiled potatoes, mashed
or put through ricer, can be substituted
for one-third the wheat flour in any
standard recipe for making wheat
bread, biscuits, pancakes, waffles,
doughtnuts, pie crusts, etc. When po-
tatoes are used, q little less liquid
may be required in the mixing.

THE RED CROSS NURSES or EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIIlE"-the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances, that is the first
thing asked for.

Mems Clothing for Spring
Lighter Weight Than Usual

With the wind-up Of the buying sea-
son for spring delivery, manufacturers
in New York of mems clothing find
themselves with a volume of orders on
hand which, in most cases, is above the
record for the corresponding period a
year ago. 1t is said that, as q rule,
the fabrics to be used in these gar
ments for next spring are lighter in
weight than ordinarily. In other re-
spects, however, there is practically
no evidence of the war regulations"
the notifications in styles that have
been agreed to applying more to next
fall than to the coming spring sea-
son. Patch pockets will be worn
great DEAL and many double-breasted
coats have been sold. Trousers vii!
be turned up at the bottom as usual
though this feature may be cut out in
the fall styles. The cloths used are
mostly of subdued colors and COM
binations of colors, and conservatism
seems to rule in the great majority of
cases.

Use of Calling Cards and
Answering of Formal Notes

There is usually very good reason
for all the different social etiquettes,
and you can usually figure it out all
by yourself. Take, for instance, the
question of calling cards. Many per-
sons are in doubt IS to the number of
cards they should leave. The answer
is, according to an authority, to leave
as many cards as there are persons
that you wish to see and are indebted
to. 1t is the only thoughtful thing to
do and exactly what you would ma
turally do if you were not convinced
that etiquette is tricky.
Another thing that seems to puzzle
is the answering of formal notes. Il
you receive q formal note, answer it
formally, and make your spacing as
much like the note you received as
possible.
There is nothing mysterious about
It. If you are polite and thoughtful
dad use your mind bit you can never
90 far wrong. The instinct for the
courteous thing can easily be cultivat-
ed and it is essential in every walk of
life.

curry, one of the most deadly OF pol
sons.
One of these drugs might be picked
I'D for the other in the dark or evea
in the daytime, if the label was not
carefully read by the one seeking to
take the medicine. This has resulted
in az innocent father killing his child,
or perhaps his wife, or in some cases
himself.
Another great mistake is to change
a drug from one bottle to another
without altering the label. 1t is often
done in dividing up the contents OF
a rare drug with a neighbor. The one
receiving the unlabeled bottle depends
upon his memory, which often fails
him, and q fatal mistake results.
A very short time ago I knew Of a
generous doctor dividing up rare
drug with one of his colleagues, intend
ing to label the bottle he kept for him.
self. lie neglected to do so, and not
long after he wanted to use the drug
and picked Up what he believed to be
the proper bottle, but which proved to
contain an agent active in its power to
destroy tissue This he dropped into
his eye and only escaped Having his
eye destroyed by a narrow margin.
Now this is quite common mistake,
and people have been made blind by
this carelesSness. Drugs that are most
useful are, as rule, most dangerous,
and should always be kept under lock
and key and plainly labeled. At pres
ent we are being robbed enough of the
members of our families during the
war, so that we should have no pa
tience with the killing. Of the innocent
at home by simple carelesSness, and II
is this common, everyday practice of
confusing drug bottles that I warn you
against. 1t can all be done away with
if you will only give it reasonable at
tention.

PROFITS IN EGGS PRODUCTION
Experimental Results at Indiana Sta
ton Show That There Is Money
in the Business.

Considerable attention has been
given to the present lack of profit i'll
egg production. But data gathered by
the Purdue Experiment station show
that there has been a good profit dur
ing the past year, despite the high
prices Of feeds.
Experimental results at that station
have shown that it takes six pounds OF
mixed feeds to produce a dozen eggs
on the farm. On this basis, with local
grain prices, it cost go cents for feed
to produce a dozen eggs in 1914-15;
9.3 cents in 1856, and 1871 cents in
1867. During the same periods the
average income per dozen eggs was
1871 cents, 2O.2 cents and 30.4 cents re-
spectively. This means profit over
feed cost of 8.5 cents in the flrst-named
period; 1919 cents in the second, and
14.6 cents in the third, or during the
past year.
Doesn't it look like there's still
profit in producing eggs on the farm?

THE DOLLAR QUEST
....S Observation-Disclosures

OF the dollar you'll find
here is many kind
Willie you seek 1t, as men have to do;
And you shouldn't neglect
Some care to select
The kind it is best to pursue.
There's the dollar that works,
And the dollar that shirks;
There's the dollar that loves to assist;
There's the dollar that Stacks
And just stands in it's tracks,
When it ought to get out and enlist
There's the dollar that thrives
And the one that contrives,
An indolent fancy to please;
The dollar that hopes
And the dollar that gropes
In the haunts Of improvident ease.
There are dollars that roam;
There are those that stay home,
They are built both for joy and regret,
And success will depend,
More or less, in the end,
On the kind Of dollar you get.

Potatoes as Substitute
For Wheat and-Any Other
Grains in Making Bread
By p. G. Holden.

1t is hardly possible to estimate
from a standpoint of food conservation
the great value of potatoes as a substi-
tute for wheat and other grains In the
making of bread.
One hundred million bushels Of
small potatoes will save 100,000,000
bushels Of wheat. About 80 per cent
Of the annual potato crop in the United
States consists of small potatoes which
are unmarketable, made little use Of,
practically wasted, almost total loss
to the country. The small potatoes
can be substituted for one-third the
wheat flour used in making bread. Po-
tato bread is better bread in every
way than bread made entirely Of wheat
or a combination of wheat and other
grains.
The use of potatoes in bread is eco
nomical at any time. 1t is patriotic at
this time; it utilizes waste potatoes;
saves wheat and other grain which
can be exported; saves corn, barley
and oats which can be used to produce
meats and fats for our soldiers; gives
us white. moist and wholesome bread

and cocks to pullets. This is all right
yet one can get good results by mat
ing fowls of the same age, provided
they are we'll matured. 1t Is never
advisable to mate pullets with COCK,
erels. A male bird two years OF ag'
Is best.
Twelve to IA hens should be mated
with one male for best results. 1t is
sometimes the case that male may
be mated with a larger number Of hens
with good results, but 1t Is risky 70
experiment.
You should be sure that you have o
good male bird at the head of your
flock. If the male is strong and Wig
orous at all times, you will at least,
be half certain Of strong eggs for
Matching.

CANKER INDICATIVE OF COLD
Also Results From Injuries Received
Fighting-PIan for Treatment
Outlined.

While canker is usually indicative Of
a cold, it is also the result Of injury.
When male birds have been fighting,
cankers are likely to form from injury
to the mouth. Germs get rooted il
these wounds and set up ulcerating
sores. Digestive disorders will cause
canker. Look to the diet of birds that
are affected; clean out the cankers
and apply pure soda, or creolin, if at
hand. Make a swab Of cotton on q
toothpick, and touch every spot of the
sore Peroxide of hydrogen, diluted
with an equal amount of water, will
cleanse. The sore should then be
touched with carbolized vaseline.
