In the kitchen Of her own homo Sister Mary cooks daily for a family Of four at.ults. She brought 10 her kitchen an understanding of the chemistry of cooking. gained from study of domestic science in a state university. Consequently the advice she offers is a ssappy combination oa theory md practice. Every recipe she gives is her own, first tried out and served at her family table.
 October is the month to put in win ter potatoes or at least order them from the farmer.
 Learn something about the varie- ties of potatoes and the soil in which they were grown. There is all the difference in the world between a po- tato grown in California and one grown in Michigan or the Middle West.
 For my own use. like medium sized potatoes best. An extra large potato has no great virtue. In fact it is apt to be hollow in the center. Smooth-skinncd, even-shaped, me dium-sized potatoes are incest for baking or any way of cooking.

railway employees who have taken a

IA brotherhoods have been summoned
TO meet here Monday to consider pend
ing railway legislation and define pre-
