It is a great mistake to peel po j tatoes before cooking them. The skin, like all medicinal roots, is the richest part of the tuber.

Forest fires in the vast timber land regions of the great lakes ha\ e come to be as much expected a<- ths cyclones which sweep over the prarii-s of (he Western Stales.
