THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE
Potato Wisdom.

Of course, you are eating potatoes.
Everyone is nowadays, because by
eating them we need eat less bread,
and hence we can conserve more
wheat.
If you are having more potatoes
served at your table, you owe it to
yourself and your family to see that
they are properly cooked. Here are
some points about potato cookery that
you ought to put into practice or get
your cook to put into practice. 1t is
not a matter of opinion, or of this au-
thority or that Matters of cookery
used to be but now that the govern
ment, thru the food administration,
has taken up the matter of food pre-
paration seriously we have final au-
thority on such matters as the best
way of boiling potato. This final
authority IS based on the most extern
sive and Intelligent research.
Here are the points m potato cook
cry that you ought to put into prac-
tice in YOU kitchen:
Never pare potatoes before they are
cooked. This process wastes valuable
food substance.
When boiling potatoes start them in
their skins in boiling sailed water and
do not pale till they are done.
If you pare them before cooking.
because you want to save time at the
end, then save the water and use it
Tor soup.
When baking potatoes select those
of uniform size. This makes them
all require the same amount of time
in cooking and hence fuel is conserved.
Scrub potatoes before baking and
start them in hot oven.
As soons,s baked potatoes are done.
crac,< the skin before serving them, so
as to let the steam escape.
Never let potatoes that have been
boiled stand in water after they are
done. Drain them Immediately. peel
and II they have to stand any time
cover the dish with a cloth to absorb
the moisture from them.
In boilinS potatoes for making
potato bread, they may be peeled and
diced before cooking. because the
water In which they are boiled may be
used for part of the wetting in making
the bread.

TAX LIQUOR OUT?
Drys Plan To Make Liquor
Tax PrOhibitive.
Declare Prohibition VIII Not
Cost q Billion Revenue.

Washin ,ton, July 31.-A> threat to
tax liquor out of existence in the new
revenue bill was the prohibition reply
today to claims that making the ma
ton dry at this session of congress will
halt plans to raise $4,000, 100000 il
taxes.
Anti-prohibition forces in both
houses. including members of the SEN
ate finance and house ways and means
committees, contend the country will
lose more than s1,oo0.000.0OO in
revenue II the pending dry amendment
to the food production bill passes.
Drys today countered with the def
tina, only word from the administra-
ton or a victory will stop the prohi-
bition fight now.
VIII Not Lose Billion.
THE country will not lose $1,000
000,0 in taxes but only a quarter Of
billion il prohibition is enactee
now" said Representative Randall,
California.
whisky now in existence can still
be taxed. which is all that can be
done in any case for manufacture of
whisky is already forbidden. Beer
to be sold for six months. so that the
only tax the country would lose would
be a half years beer tax.
If the impending dry amendment is
killed we will fight to put prohibitive
taxes in the revenue bill. II foolish
spending is to be stopped it is poor
wartime economy to allow the ex-
penditure of s2.oO0,0o0.o 900 for liquor
to get a quarter billion revenue"
''Wets" today were confident that
with the influence of the revenue
committees of the two houses behind
them they can beat prohibition. Drys
concede that the tax argument will
probably take some of their strength.

Bourbon County Cannot NOmi-
nate a State Senator.
Nomination Can Be Made Only
by District Convention.

Bourbon county cannot nominate
state senatorial candidates in the Fri
rnaries next Tuesday, according to a
ruling today by s. NJ. Brewster, at
torney general The county. which
comprises the Eighth senatorial dis
trict, must elect a state senator to
succeed the late Senator Robert B.
Barr.
Under the Brewster ruling, nomina-
tons for state senator can be MADE
only by a convention. The law makes
no provision for nomination of state
senators to fill vacancies by printing
candidates names on the regular prl-
mary ballot Neither does it provide
for their election at a regular cleo
ton and by marking names on the
regular general election ballot AS
consequence, the political parties OF
Bourbon county must go thru the lot
mality of nominating candidates IN
conventions.
Special Election.
Following the nomination of candi-
dates the governor shall issue a pro-
ciamation for special elecuoh "
name a state senator. The election
may BE- held the same day as the gen
1eral election, but special election pal
lots must be provided the voters
There are no contests for the sena-
torial nominations in the county. A:
NJ. Keene of Fort Scott, speaker OF
the 1917 house. is the Republican can
didate and will be nominated without
opposition John NJ. Davis, former
state senator and twice a member OF
the house. is the Democrat candidate
The fight for the election wiz
probably be real warm. Davis and
Keene have been on opposing sides
of many political rows in Bourbon
county, and there is every indication
that bourbon county will witness no
dull stages in the campaign.
Two years ago the late Senator
Parr was elected over Davis, who
sought a second term in the senate
s nator Barr was a Republican and
chairman of the highways committee
OF the upper house. He died few

German Papers Declare Re-

Say FOch Is Defeated by His
Advance.

Amsterdam, July 31.-The entire
German press, the Socialist included
is obediently toeing the line laid down
by the German official communiques
regarding the retreat from the Marine.
This line substantially is that General
Foch's formidable attack to pinch off
the whole of the Germans Marine sa-
lient was in vain, that his great sacri-
fees in men have been bootleSs and
that the initiative remains with the
Germans. To this it is added that the
German concentration on a Shortened
chord" means stronger front
To the American official report of
the capture of Seringes- Et-Nesles,
Sergy and Roncheres the Volks Zei-
tung of Cologne continues:
These localities are in the ZONE

undetected by the enemy"
The military critic of the Berlin Vos-
sische Zeitung, Captain Won Salze-
mann, says:
Provo Foch Was Defeated"
We are now able to prove to Foch

Conduct of War he showed himself a
pronounced adherent of theory of the
offensive and the annihilation of the
enemy. Putting into practice this idea.
his boldly conceived task was to break
thru the German lines, roll them back
and make the whole German system of
defense totter. There was no middle
course for Foch. Victory in the strict
est sense of the world was positively
imperative in this action. 1t was not
his business to gain ground nor clear
the Marine. His business was to cut
thru our defenses and get in our rear

Too Much Talking
General Kilbe, in the Germania,
angrily attributes the failure of the
German offensive to the fact that the
date of which it was to begin, July Is,
seemed to be public property at home.
He indignantly rebukes the "irrepres-
sible tattling" by which news of mill
tary Importance percolates to Athe
enemy. He and virtually all the other
critics agree that further hard fight
ing is imminent.
