Make Good Use of
Those Bread Left-Overs
By MILDRED KELSO

WITH THE COST of living what
it is today, it would pay all of us
to make use of every dried-out
crust and leftover piece of toast.
And once you've gotten into the
habit, salvage of these too-often
wasted items isn't hard at all.
AS first step in this salvage pro-
gram, run thoroughly dried bread
scraps through the food grinder and
store the crumbs in tin can, glass
jar or tightly sealed paper bag.
You can use these finely ground
bread crumbs for coating croquettes,
and they won't soak up fat as
much as cracker crumbs do. Or
use them instead of flour to coat
liver, fish, chicken, ETC., before fry
ing. Then, too, dried bread crumbs
make a fine topping for casserole
dishes.
Stretch Your Meat
AS a "stretcher" for high priced
meat, try soaking bread crumbs in
milk to moisten, then mix with
hamburger, ground beef or pork
sausage and fry as usual. Use dried
bread crumbs instead of crackers
in meat, fish and ham loaf, or mix
bread crumbs and ground, leftover
meat to make meat gems or ham
| mousse.
Bread cubes crisped in hot fat
make crunchy and tasty addition
to scrambled eggs, and bread cubes
will also stretch a plate of cold
boiled potatoes to be cottage fried

"a cup warm, not hot, water Quke-
warm for compressed yeasD, " cup
soft margarine or butter, eggs, II
teaspoon nutmeg (optionaD. Peel po-
tatoes and cook in 2 cups boiling
sailed water until tender. Drain off
water reserving l cup. Pour water
into a large mixing bowl. Stir in
sugar, salt and 1 cup of the flour.
Beat until smooth. Sprinkle or
crumble yeast into IA cup water
(warm, not hot, water for active dry
yeast; lukewarm water for COM
pressed). Stir until dissolved, then
beat into batter. Cover with cloth
and let rise in a warm place, free
from draft, until bubbly. Meanwhile,
mash hot potatoes in pan in which
they were cooked; measure l cup.
Place in mixing bowl.
Beat in margarine or butter, eggs,
and nutmeg. When batter is full of
bubbles, stir in potato mixture and
remaining flour or enough to make
stiff dough. Turn dough out on
floured board and knead to 10
minutes or until dough is smooth
and elastic. Place in creased bowl,
and brush top of dough with soft or
melted shortening. Let rise in
warm place, free from draft, until
doubled in bulk. Punch down dough,
cover bowl and store in refrigerator.
About hours before serving time,
remove dough from refrigerator. Cut
in half. Roll each half 1/3-inch thick
on Toured board. Cut with dough-
nut cutter or into Pinch squares with
a sharp knife. Place doughnuts on
Toured board, cover with a cloth
and let rise in a warm place until
light and doubled in bulk. Slip
doughnuts into deep fat heated to
365 degrees F. AS soon as they rise
to the top, turn with long handled
fork to brown other side. Drain on
absorbent paper toweling. Coat
doughnuts with granulated sugar by
shaking few at time in paper
bag containing about ~ cup sugar.
Makes dozen doughnuts.

or warmed over" They will add
flavor as well.
Bread stuffing is a companion to
roast fowl, but it goes well with
other meats too. Baked heart with
dressing, baked stuffed fish, stuffed
pork chops, stuffed breast of lamb
or veal-these are few of the other
fine ways to make use of bread
dressing. Stale bread, erumbled
loosely in the hands, is best for
dressing.
Desserts and buildings are another
way in which stale bread may be
utilized. You'll have fun trying
interesting variations of the old
fashioned bread buildings. A Brown
Betty, for instance, made of sugar,
fruit and bread crumbs
Crumb Griddle Cakes
Ever try crumb mullins or crumb
griddle cakes? Substitute dried
bread crumbs for half the flour;
soak the crumbs in the liquid, add
flour, baking powder or soda, salt,
beaten eggs and shortening.
Try keeping few slices of I'M
buttered toast in a paper bag or
cardboard box. When company
comes, just butter the toast, sprinkle
with granulated suger and Gin
namon, and warm in the oven. Re-
suit: spicy, fresh cinnamon toast!
Perhaps the most rewarding use
for stale bread crumbs on a cold
winter day is banquet table set
for the birds on a sheltered window
sill or other favored spot. But, OF
course, you already knew that one!

Garrett County was blanketed
with eight to ten inches of snow
this week from a storm that de-
scendcd Monday night and which

travelling hazardous. All roads were
open but the State Roads commits
sion reported this morning that
highways were still covered and
icy. Fourteen state roads plows

County Responsible
For Return of
YpsiIaIti Escapee
Sheriff Fisher Prepared To
Leave Today On Forced
Journey

Sheriff Paul w. Fisher prepared
to take off for Ypsilanti, Mich,
today, after learning that he was
responsible for a prisoner who vol
UNFAIRLY surrendered to authori-
ties, although an out of state case.
Charles Everett Bascomb gave
up December l to Sheriff Fisher
after having escaped from the
Ypsilanti State Hospital on No
vember %. He walked and hitch
liked since his escape and finally
got tired of the attempt to get
anywhere. Fisher said he had act
ed in a normal manner since that
time.
Ypsilanti authorities were mott
fled but nobody came for him.
Yesterday in consultation with the
Maryland Board of Mental Hy-
gicne, Fisher learned that if the
man was released here and some
lawlcss act committed, that the
sheriff would be held responsible,
according to Maryland law
So, just because a person hap
pened to give himself up in this
county, this county is responsible
for the expense of getting him
back to Ypsilanti. 1t will cost the
county about $1OO, Fisher csti-
mated. He expected to leave today.
The trip will probably take four
days
The man is AZ years of age, is
married and has four children.

Farm Income Drop
Expected This Year

as year ago. This points to drop
in net farm income this year. The
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
estimates reduction of about a
billion dollars in net income from
last years total of 14.3 billion,
but still approximately billion
dollars above the post World War
II low of 1913 billion dollars re-
ceived in 1850. Any material
change in present production pros
poets would change this outlook.
Individual farmers expenses
and cash returns always vary by
a large margin, the Bureau points
out. These differences are infuenc-
ed by the location of the farm and
the type of operation. A reduction
in expenditures can be expected
this year on those farms that make
large purchases of feed and live
stock, and reductions in such re-
turns will be greatest on farms
whose products have dropped far
therest in price since 1862, such as
beef cattle.
