THE BEST OF SAUSAGE.

If sausage was ever one Of the cheap
er sorts of meat. that day is past and
gone, and sausage, like the once pie
setan pork chops, has climbed to the
ranks of meat aristocracy. AS far as
price goes, 1t matters little whether
YOU have sausage or beefsteak nova
days. And the result probably is that
whereas you despised sausage in the
days of its humility you are now de-
veloping a taste for it. Perhaps you
even feel convinced that sausage is
better now that formerly. Such Is the
psychology of price in the foods we
eat.
One thing about sausage that recon-
mends itself to US is that it can be all
eaten, and when we pay high price
for sausage we are getting something
every bit of which we may eat. whereas
when we pay that much for beef or
waste. Then, too. taken in the sense
of its broad economy. sausage is de-
sirable for the scraps-albeit perfectly
se9s u.s. small bits Of ponE
that would have no special market In
themselves can be converted into ex-
cellent sausage meat.
Much in the sausage depends on the
should know absolutely that the pork
of which it was made was perfectly
fresh. To be sure of this either buy
a known brand. the quality of which is
known to you, or buy of a reliable
butcher who makes his own sausage
meat.
Here is one very nice way of using
the link sausages. With an apple corer
make a cavity through the center OF
a pared, raw white potato. Into this
cavity draw a link sausage. Bake In
a casserole until tender, basting fire.
ouently with the grease from the sau-
sage or with a little bacon grease and
hot water and uncover to brown for the
last ten or fifteen minutes. Sausages
NAV be cooked in apples In the same
way.
Loose sausage meat may be cooked
very deiiciously II 1t is placed in a cas-.
serole in individual cakes. IT is some
times very moist and can only be
placed bv means Of a large spoon ano
then patted into place in the casserole
The oven should be quite hot when the
sausage is put In. SO that the sausage
cakes will not melt. II the oven Is hot
to begin with a film forms on the out
side that holds them together. At tht
same time that you start the sausage
in the oven put some small potatoes
on to boil. and when they are done
pare them and place them in the cas-.
sero1e around the sausage and lei
them cook together in the oven fol
about quarter Of an hour longer. turn
ing the potatoes around from time tc
time. SO that they will become Drowned
in the sausage drippings.

Mashed Potatoes Made Appetizing.

Put small teaspoonful Of baking
powder into mashed potatoes after they
are beaten Then beat a little more and
see how light and fluffy they Will De.
If you want mashed potatoes a little eX-
ira put with them the we'll beaten white
of one egg before serving. If you do
not use the egg add two teaspoonfuls OF
grated onion and juice and whip again.
| Boil three good sized potatoes, mash
fine and stir in one cup of sugar. When
cool, add one egg, three tablespoonfuls
of butter. one cup of sweet milk and one
teaspoonful of baking powder. Flavor
with nutmeg or cinnamon. Add suff1-
cient flour to make a dough that will
roll out without sticking, then put in a
pan and fry.
To one cup of mashed potato add one
cup Of stale breadcrumbs. one-half tea
spoonful each of minced celery and par
butter. Moisten with milk. Pile into a
creased baking dish, sprinkle the top
with fine breadcrumbs and bake until
the breadcrumbs are Drowned.
French Fried Potatoes.-Slice, drop at
once in cold water and leave for a short
time, then put in fresh water until
thoroughly chilled. Drain a few of the
slices at a time, pat dry, dip in corn
meal. put in a frying basket and i'm
merse in boiling hot fat. Drain, sprinkle
with sale and serve.
Sliced raw potatoes can be baked in
stead of fried II put in a hot oven, and
they will be crisp and good.

Prompt Action Demanded.

The labor correspondent of the Times
says that it is evident that situation
is imminent which will tax the food de-
Dartment to the uttermost. He says
there Is no occasion for alarm, but a
need of complete frankness and prompt
action. The writer restates the view OF
the workers that not only are the
wealthy people able to escape queue
troubles by the power of their purses,
but they are getting all the supplies
they require, while the poor stand for
hours exposed to the weather and then
often get nothing.
The workers also are convinced that
an artificial scarcity has been created
by the farmers. dealers and spectators.
The unrest. the writer continues, will
be allayed only when the food con-
troller convinces the average workman
that curtailment Is unavoida BILE.

There Is No Other Vegetable
That Can Be Used in Such a
Variety of Ways-Some Things
to Remember When Cooking

tatoeS.

Peel potatoes thin, as the starchy
portion is near the skin, and it is much
more economical. Keep the sprouts off.
cover with an old piece Of carpet, so
that the light will not make them
turn green, as the green potato is good
for nothing. If frozen, place them IN
cold water. To boil old potatoes peel
an hour or so before they are to be
cooked and let stand in cold water. then
boil in milk and water slightly salted.
Keep at a gentle boil until soft, pour
off the water, set the pot, uncovered,
back on the stove and give them an
occasional toss to let the steam escape.
How to Serve Baked Potatoes.
Select perfect potatoes Of an even
size, scrub and rinse them. Boil for
ten minutes, or pour boiling water
over them. and let them stand for
about five minutes. Wipe dry and run
them over with butter, then place in the
oven. They will bake in much less
time and the skin will peel. the same
as when boiled. Put n small pan of
water in the oven. q you Will hnd

stick a fork into the Kin to try a
potato while baking. but you may prick

oven, to allow the air to permeate.

Substitutes for Tobacco.

Although the German bundesrath has
permitted the addition of small quanti-
ties of hops to smoking tobaccos. the
army authorities have refused to ac-
cept such a substitute for the soldiers.
The hop raisers, who have lost heav-
uy because of the decrease in the brew
ing of beer, had hoped to find a new
market for their tobacco substitute"
but the military decision has spoiled
their plan.
!. In the meantime the brewery use of
hops has again been decreased. In
peace times German beer contained
from 10 to IL per cent of solid con-
tent" Gradually this was cut to 3 per
cent. and now a new order fixes the
minimum at per cent. At the same
time the price of this thin substitute
has been increased from so to 20 pfen-
nigs a liter.

Read Up on Civil War.

One, of the peculiar facts concern,
ing the entrance of America into the
war the stimulus given to reading anG
discussion of the American Civil war
The perusal Of Civil war histories in
England has become almost a mania
and more books treating of the great
conflict have been sold in England in
one year than in America during the
last ten years.
The reason is simple: England and
the allies generally want line" on
the American as a fighting man. The
Spanish-American war failed as an
adequate criterion because we had
Spain so hopelessly outclassed from
the beginning. But some of the great
est battles in the history of the world
were fought in the Civil war. The per.
,centage of death losses in actual bat.
tie were higher than that of any other
war ever fought. The verdict seems tel
be that Americans know a good deal
about the sanguinary business of kill

LABOR

We have in Idaho, citizens and
aiiens-some subject to draft, others
who are not-who are unwilling to
work for any stipulated figure if
they thought their refusal to work
would force the payment of a higher
wage.
Idaho has arranged a wage scale
which is as high or higher than that
paid by any other state in the L
lon for like agricultural labor. That
scale has been approved by the State
Council of Defense as just and reason
able. All our popers published in the
state have been provided with that
wage scale. We now most respectful
ly ask all our papers to publish that
wage scale in every issue of their
paper for the benefit of their read
ers for period sufficiently long that
all their patrons may become fully aC
quainted with it. 1t is in condensed
form as follows:
For harvest hands, 800 for a.
day of ten hours with board, and
a maximum of 45c an hour for over
time. Monthly wage. $4,000 with
board; or for married men who board
themselves, $4,000 a month with
suitable housing. For Expert irri-
gators, $500 month and board.
We respectfully ask all farmers
employing help to abide by that
scale that there may be no compe-
titive bidding against fellow farmers,
and that the laborer may be assured
his wage and protected in obtain.
