probability that army purchasing also will
be drawn together under a central con

carry It out. The question of finding a

diary In Passenger Repair Shop
At ct. Albans.

st. Albans. Jan. s.-Although the off,
cials Of the Central Vermont railway are
reticent about the matter. 1t is understood
that an investigation Of the fire which
broke out in the passenger repair shop
Monday evening was in progress to-day.
There were enough mysterious circum-
stances in connection with the fire to
make 1t appear that there Is little doubt
It was the work Of an incendiary. One
week ago last Sunday night the section
Of the large chain Of buildings occupied
asa blacksmith shop was burned to the
ground and but for the prompt discovery
Of the flames last night there would
undoubtedly have been more serious con-
sequences.
Revised estimates to-day place the loss
considerably higher than was supposed
last night. It will probably be between
$1,10 0and $500.
About forty men are employed In the
shop and they were at work as usual to-
day.

POTATOES INSTEAD Q
WHEAT. rs

Use Of potatoes to save wheat
is demanded by the present situ-
alton because greater quantities
Of wheat must be conserved for
the use Of the American forces
and the allied armies in Europe,
and also because an unusually
large supply of potatoes remains
in the hands Of the growers.
Great quantities of these will go
to waste unless they are used
even more freely and in a great
er variety of ways than is Gus
tomary in American families.
With the basic price Of wheat
fixed as at present, flour is $13.70
barrel, or z cents pound. II,
then. potatoes can be obtained
at $1.20 a bushel. which is 2
cents a pound, it is an economy
as well as a war service to use
potatoes as substitute for flour
in bread making. Even at
cents a pound the potatoes cost
no more than flour.
Ways to use potatoes in place
Of flour for various uses, par
ticularly in bread making, are
shown by carefully worked out
recipes in publications of the
United States department of
agriculture. Some of these
recipes are given here.
