DY VARYING the recipes by which
I'D they are prepared so that their
use will not become monotonous,
potatoes, sweet and white, may be used,
from the hearty chowder and crisp
waffles to the delicious tarts, custards
and buildings, and each dish is treat.
Sweet potatoes rarely keep we'll, and
1t Is the better plan to purchase only a
couple of days supply at a time. In
fact, when they are to be kept over for
two or three days it is best to boil some
OF them for frying and thus, perhaps,
save them from becoming soft and USE
less. Sweet potatoes are selling at
about cents pound.
Always peel white potatoes as thinly
as possible, as the best part of the
vegetable lies close to the skin To boil
to perfection have actively boiling water
and allow a teaspoonful of salt to each
quart Of water. Keep the water Just
at the boiling point until they can be
pierced with a fork, then drain i'm
mediately, sprinkle with salt and shake
the kettle gently Cover with cloth,
let stand for a couple Of minutes and
serve
Sweet potatoes when boiled should
never be peeled until after they are
cooked, and when they are to be candied
or glazed they should be peeled, cut in
halves and put in CREASED pam Brush
over with melted oleo or butter, sprinkle
with sugar and bake until Drowned.
Basic with additional shortening while
cooking.
Curried potatoes are a decided novel

curry sauce and pour over cubes of

a cream sauce.

Trousers are pressed, blankets and

pressed, and lace curtains are "dcne
up with a minimum of time and
trouble. Embroideries and buttons
are both successfully handled, owing
to the depth Of the padding on the
roll. Less dampening is necessary,
because Of the heavy pressure ex-
erted (400 to 500 pounds); even re-
suits are obtained by using small

chine never tears lace and gives an

Small pieces, when ironed, are de-

automatically folded off in loose two

orator at her convenience.
AS to cost Of operation. With Gas
at 81 thousand, the heating of the
iron for one hour costs 2.3 cents: the
cost Of electricity, for running the
motor for the same time, is 2.25
cents with 10-cent rate. In New
ork, where the rates are 80 cents
and Z cents, respectively, this would
mean a total operating cost per
hour Of 3.4 cents.

M ANY women who have ac-
WI quired a vacuum cleaner
and washing machine
still think that an electric ironer
belongs only to the professional
laundry. AS a matter Of fact.
ironing is the most laborious and
monotonous Of household opera
tons. Standing in one place and ex-
erting heavy pressure, with constant
thought as to the condition of the
iron and it's careful use on different
garments, calls for strength, endur-
ance and special skill. In the sum-
mer time the heat is very oppressive.
The Simplex Ironer is perfectly
adapted to household use and takes
up no more room, costs no more and
calls for no more skill in it's use than
its side partner, the electric washing
machine. Utter simplicity of opera
ton is its first claim. Ignorant maids
can use it, high-class maids will
stay to use 1t and the mistress Of the
house, II left in the lurch, can van
quish the ironing with no effort or
discomfort. Even father" might
help, when the dignity of a gas and
electric machine is involved.

TNO DISSOLVE the hard cara
melized sugar usually takes so
much time that the delicious
flavor is seldom used, but if it is
made into syrup and bottled it is
ready for instant use. The flavor
of caramel depends entirely upon
the degree to which the sugar has
been brought before the water has
been added. When one is making
stock syrup great care is needed to
prevent sugar from getting too
brown or scorching, which gives q
bitter flavor.
Put graduated sugar in a sauce
pan or frying pan over heat and
stir constantly until sugar has
melted and becomes a deep brown.
