SWEET POTATO Flour

Sweet potato flour, made in the
home by using an ordinary coffee
grinder or meat grinder. offers one
practical way to save sweet potatoes
from spelling, according to the food
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. A quart Of
dried potatoes will make cup Of
flour, or meal, which is useful in max
ing certain hot breads. cakes and pud-
dings.
10 make the flour, the potatoes
should be cut into small lengthwise
pieces and thoroughly dried either in
a dryer that fits on the top of the
oven or warming closet, or spread on
racks in a current of air IRON an cleo
trio fan. The thoroughly dried pota-
toes are passed once or twice through
a coffee grinder or the nut knife of
a food chopper, and the product sift-
ed. The flour looks much like fine
corn meal and keeps for some time,
IN a tight container.
In cake or bread making the sweet
potato flour may take the place of
one-half of the flour usually used. In
cakes sugar can be reduced a little.
AS thickening agent, it has the same
power as corn starch.
The recipes which follow have been
tested by specialists of the U. S. De-
Partment of Agriculture and found to
be excellent.

Just the other day noticed the following in
the capitalist press: "Jobs For II 900 Men," was
the headline. But the text told me something diff
ferent; it, was, that "more than 10000 men are
already employed in this plant" and that "a drive
was about to be started to get the needed number
of skilled ship workers, to bring the payroll up
to the eleven thousand mark" See, the unemploy-
ment problem is solved!
We cannot wait until few jobs are created,
for only the few will get them. What about the
rest of us? We're hungry, too Well take jobs, if.
there are any to take, but if there are none,

things long ago Hunt"
Hunt doubled his fists and glared
ut FitZhugh. Yet, even in that angry
moment, he could not but admire the
shrewdness Of the man.

face grown suddenly very earnest. IF

Hunt did not meet the speakers

was a notable one for renewing casual
acquaintances.
The past year, although 1t had
