The average cook is limited in
potato cookery to just four pos
sibilitieS - fried, baked, boiled, or
mashed.
There are really many ways
to serve this appetizing vegetable.
Potato puff, deviled stuffed po-
tatoes, needlepoint potatoes, and
even potato croquettes should be
tried.
Potato puff is a pleasing varia-
ton of our old friend mashed
potatoes. To make this:
Potato Puff
2 cups hot mashed potatoes
2 teaspoons butter
2 egg yolkS, well beaten
cup milk
Dash paprika
Mix ingredients and stir well,
fold in Stiffly beaten egg whites,
pile in a buttered baking dish
and bake in a moderate oven for
10 minutes. Serve at once. Grated
cheese is an excellent addition to
this dish, either in the mixture
itself or on the top.
Deviled Potatoes
To prepare deviled stuffed po-
tatoes, bake six potatoes in the
oven. Cut a slice from the top
of the potato, remove the inSides
and whip with a little butter and
cream until creamy. Fold in two
egg whites, beaten stiff. Mix
with one small can deviled ham
and a teaspoon parsley. Fill the
potato shells with this mixture,
return to oven to brown and
serve piping hot.
NeedlepOint Potatoes
NeedIepoint potatoes are very
smart looking and quite New
Yorkish-the recipe coming from
there. To prepared, simply thread
a strip of bacon through a potato
and bake.
The bacon seasons the potato
on the inside as it bakeS, and the
criSpy curlS of bacon on the ends
of the potatoes add new touch
to the old subject of spudS.
Potato croquetteS can be used
for left over potatoes.
Potato CrOquettes
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 tablespoon cream
~ tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped green.
pepper
1 tablespoon onion.
l egg
Salt and pepper-bread crumbs
Add cream, butter, chopped pep
per and onion to the mashed po-
tatoeS. Season to taste with salt
and pepper. Beat until light, add
well beaten egg. Shape into pyra-
midS or balls, roll in bread crumbs,
then in slightly beaten egg to

A Simple Test

A Simple Test
When eggs have been hard
cooked and placed in the refrigera-
tor in the shell, it is often difficult
to tell which have been boiled and
which are raw. This simple test
will solve this puzzle: Spin them
with your fingers. The raw egg
will turn very slowly while the
cooked egg will spin like a top.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT

THIS Easter season has been filled with sadness
for many. Disasters have occurred in different
parts of the country with dismaying regularity.
Floods fires frosts tornadoes drought and dust fol-

out the South, where destruction rode the storm
and overnight hundreds found their homes taken
and their loved ones dead.
am not one who believes that the hand of God
is behind all this. But do believe only Gods hand
sustain man through these manifold miseries.
Intelectualism is an arid thing in the face of
death. Dry as DUST tasteess as ashes the tongue
Every individual must have sort of philosophy,
in order to be effective has to admit the triumph
of spirit over body.
1t doesn't matter particularly what form this
philosophy takes, or whether it is embodied in
creeds, but it must be aflame with faith-a living
assurance of the ultimate victory of right over
wrong. Many people who profess to believe that
mortals acquire Immortality display recourses
of courage under disaster which are sublime Their
fortitude, it to me, has its origins in force
outside mundane sphere, and is surely sufficient
evidence that we have within something divine.
Happily there have been signs of a spiritual
awakening of late. The person who has nothing but
cleverness to offer the hungry hearts of his fellows
is finally repudiated by them The consolation offered
by the intellect alone gives no sustenance to those
who starved for that which can strengthen the
SOUL
When scientists like DR.. Alexis Carroll sound
warning against prevailing materalism, it is time
to listen. If we take inventory of our belongings,
shall find that faith, hope and belief in some
divine purpose the most precious of our assets
Having them, there real liabilities.

Congress-:
THE very consideration of such bill brings the
ghost of fear and distress to the homes of five mil
lions of American citizens who have invested in these

1T destroys the investments and savings of mil
lions of people" said Philip H. Gadsden, chairman
of the Committee of Public Utility Executives
In the course of time the Wheeler Rayburn bill
became law And what has happened? Have the
widows and orphans lost their all?
Rep. Luckey of Nebraska decided to investigate
and this is what he reports:
Stocks of all the big holding companies are con-
siderably higher than they were year ago when
utility executives frenzied with fear American
Gas & Electric has increased SO per cent in value,
American Superpower has trebled American Power
& Light has quadrupled. Cities Service, Columbia

values have multiplied five times, Stone & Webster

ILLINOIS AND NEBRASKA

TINE very strength of Borahs prominence as a
United States Senator becomes his weakness
when as presidential candidate he into a
situation like that in Illinois yesterday.
For the 90 years he has been in the Senate
there has been more colorfu or important figure.
He has been news in big way during all that
time, whenever he made a speech issued state
ment. His one-man press conferences often have
rated an attendance like those of the President
himself AS candidate he has been defeated.
Now, Frank Knox, an unknown to the nation in
any such sense as Borah has been known, shows
up with votes in the Illinois primary than
Borah
The fact that Borah running in Knox's home
state, that Knox had the organization and that
Borah nevertheless made strong showing, is SUBJ
ordinate to the first and larger fact that the mighty
Borah held the second best hand"
The effect in our opinion, is to strengthen Knox
and correspondingly to weaken Borah.
The larger picture of the Republican scene, how
is not altered 1t is still the field against Lam
don with the latter way out in front. The problem
before the other aspirants is to pare Landon down.
If that is done then may have a merry scrap in
Cleveland la the Wood-Lowden battle in 1920.
But time is flying and somebody better get busy.
Borahs healthy performance down state in the
rural belt is significant. He has been telling his
party that it should heed his warming; that the
farm belt wants no trace of the old order of Re-
pubcansm. His popularity in the rural Illinois
voting indicates that appeal having distinctly
registered.
But the net effect on the average citizen through
out the country, seeing the headline, Knox beats
Borah," is, we think that champion has taken
wallop from a contender
Nor Borahs position helped in his Ne
braska results. There he unopposed. But
the complimentary vote for Roosevelt much
greater than for Borah-greater in fact than the
Borah vote plus the write-ins for Landon, Knox
and Hoover.
In net, the day was gloomy one for the Re-
pubcans when results of the two primaries
viewed in light of what happened the Demo-
cratic side Illinois totals show that Roosevelt got
more votes than Knox and Borah combined-a
result similar in its political implication to what
happened in Nebraska-and both normally Re-
publican states.
Discounting the fact that the Democratic state
scrap within Illinois hotter one than was
the Republican and therefore probably drew a con-
siderably larger number to the polls-stll the
figures constitute, the saying goes: "A lot of
weight"
