TEST OF COOK’S SKILL
PROPER PREPARATION OF THE
SWEET POTATO AN ART.
At Lead an Hour In the Oven la Nec
easary Properly to Bake Potato-
Some Useful Hints and
Recipes.
If you would know the sweet pota
to In all its sweetness and goodness,
you must leisurely tour the sunny
south in "sweet tater time,’' when the
entire clan of sweet is in its glory and
prime. While the Jerseys are a very
superior class, they lack the variety
found in the southern family. Color
and flavor range from the sleek,
smooth red-coated sweet to the thin
skinned pale yellow and less sweet
variety which will be sold you as
white potato in some markets of the
south unless you ask for Irish pota
toes. The great coarse yam that
looks like an overgrown sweet, and
sometimes weighs five or sis pounds,
is not a sweet potato at all. However,
it is a good substitute for the potato;
is mealy and dry, and contains a large
amount of starch. It is not sweet, and
is a wholesome food, though most peo
ple have to cultivate a taste for it.
To bring out the delicate flavor of
the sweet potato is an art. Most cooks
spoil it by cooking too quickly. At
least an hour in the oven is essential
to properly bake a sweet potato.
To 801 l Sweet Potatoes —Wash the
potatoes well without breaking the
skins. Clip the roots that adhere, put
them in a kettle of boiling water and
let them cook until they can be easily
pierced to the center with a fork,
without being actually soft. Drain
off the water and set the kettle
back on the stove, or In the oven, with
a cloth thrown over the top and let
•team about five minutes, so they will
be mealy. Peel them at once, and
serve plain with roast pork or beef.
When served with fried or broiled flsh,
accompany them with a drawn butter
sauce, or cut them in thick slices, but
ter well and set the dish in the oven
a few minutes.
A Fast Day Dish—This Is a popular
creole breakfast dish served on
fast days: Take rather large, smooth
potatoes, peel them and fry in round
slices and fry in deep, hot fat, same as
Saratoga chips, until a line brown.
Serve in a hot dish with plenty of
butter poured over them.
Aunt Laura’s Way—Boil the pota
toes as directed, then peel them and
cut in rather thick lengthwise slices.
Lay them in a deep dlslf and pour over
each layer of slices a sauce made ac
cording to these directions: Take a
cup each of sugar and butter and half
a cup of ho* water and boil until this
is thick. Some like a little grating of
nutmeg; others a small piece of stick
cinnamon boiled in the sirup.
Caramel Sweet Potatoes —801 l the po
tato jb until just done; drain, peel and
cut in halves lengthwise and fry a
rich brown in lard and butter mixed.
Sprinkle generously, while frying, with
granulated sugar.
Sweet Potato Biscuit —Take one
square of dry, mealy sweet potatoes
boiled and^grated, half cup lard, half
a cake of compressed yeast dissolved
In half a cup of lukewarm water; mix
with milk or water to a batter, and let
rise twice. Bake the same as tea bis
cuit and break open and butter hot.
Leftover Sandwiches.
Sandwiches left over from an after
noon tea or reception need not be
looked upon as just so much wasted
material. The careful hostess utilizes
them in many ways.
Ham sandwiches can be transformed
into a breakfast dish simply by
toasting them to a golden brown and
pouring over them a cream sauce into
which have been stirred minced ham
and parsley. Where a more hearty
breakfast dish is desired allow one
poached egg to two small sandwiches,
arranging the eggs on the toast be
fore covering with the cream sauce.
Will Not Curdle.
To prevent milk from curdling in
tomato soup: To those who find it
difficult to make tomato soup and
keep it from curdling I think this will
be valuable, writes a contributor to
the New York Press. Have your milk
and tomatoes boiling in separate pans,
one quart of milk to one quart of to
matoes. Put about a teaspoonful of
soda in your tomatoes and while they
are foaming up pour them into your
milk. If you do this your soup will
never curdle. Never put your milk
into your tomatoes.
To Clean Knives.
A good knife cleaning board is made
by taking a piece of board ten Inches
long and six inches wide. Tack on to
this piece of Brussels carpet and
sprinkle with fine emery. Knives
rubbed on this will clean well and
with little labor.
To Moisten Citron.
Before slicing citron, lay it in a
small strainer and place on top of the
teakettl for a few minutes. The
•town will soften the citron and make
it easier to cut —National Magazine.
EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers
The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Os course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the experi
ence with an organism unfitted for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child-birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
ple time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
In many homes
once childless there
are now children be
cause of the fact
that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable
Compound makes
women normal,
healthy and strong.
If yoa want special advice write to
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confi
dential) Lynn, Maas. Tour letter will

Decline and Fall of the Kiss.
Real kisses soon become monoton
ous, according to Mrs. Minnie Slentz,
who, in her divorce testimony, said:
"Some couples may kiss each other
right up until they are 60, in an at
tempt to fool themselves into think
ing that their kisses have the genuine
heart glow of the first month of mar
riage. but it is all bosh. Real kissing
become? monotonous during the sec
ond year, intermittent from the fourth
to the sixth, and stops entirely before
the eighth year of married life."—

Inquirer.
ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY
R. F. D. No. 1, Lewisburg, Ky.—“fif
teen years ago I was badly affected
with eczema upon my scalp first, then
it spread all over my body and con
tinued to grow worse for four years.
It began with a dry rash. After form
ing thick scales or scabs the irritation
forced me to scratch the scabs off and
the hair would come out with them.
Upon my face and body the sores
would get inflamed and they disfig
ured my face. It was worse where
my clothes Irritated them. The erup
tion was a yellowish watery kind,
sometimes bloody. In warm weather
it was so bad I was not able to work
on account of the raw Irritating sores
on my head and body.
"After trying various medicines
without relief I tried Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. After using four cakes
of Cuticura Soap and four boxes of
Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of
the Resolvent I was entirely sound
and well and have been for eleven
years.” (Signed) W. H. Williams,

You Look Prematurely Old
OF COURSE IT WAS THAT ONE
Given Two Pennies for a Set Purpose
Which Would a Boy Naturally
Prefer to Lose?
Dull and gray was the afternoon.
Slowly, with reluctant footsteps,
Walter William made his way toward
tho Sunday school. If the truth be
told in one fell swoop, he was not a
lover of Sunday school, and were it
not for parental compulsion, would
easily have found some other way of
congenially passing the time.
As so often happens when one is
down in the dumps, another bitter
blow was in store for Walter William.
He had two beautiful new pennies, one
for the Sunday school, and its brother
for the purpose of buying sweets, or
some similar delicacy.
Unhappily he lost one of the bright
new coins, and in due time reported
the event at the maternal headquar
ters.
“But, Walter, which of the two pen
nies did you lose?”
Back came the reply like a rifle bul
let:
"Oh, the Sunday school one, mother,
of course!”
Everybody’s Doing It.
The .premier of Servia once upon a
time had a round of official calls to
make in the ministry building. His
first visit was at II o’clock and he had
allotted 15 minutes to it.
He called on a certain high official,
stood talking to him for what he
thought was his 15 minutes, and then
proceeded across the hall to the office
of another minister.
On the way there he sought to look
at his watch. It was gone. He burst
into the other minister’s office and ex
claimed:
“This is too much. Here I come to
this place and call on a high official,
and when I come out my watch is
gone. I will not stand it!”
“Excellency," said the other minis
ter, "pray be calm! I will see what
I can do.”
Presently the second minister re
turned and handed the premier his
watch.
“What did the thieving rascal say
when you made him return my
watch?” asked the premier.
“Oh,” replied the other minister,
“he did not know 1 took it.”
These Revised Versions.
Mayor Woodruff of Peoria turned
with disgust from a revised version
of “Mother Goose." He said:
"When one wishes to give a child a
present — ‘Hans Andersen,’ or
‘Grimm,’ or ‘Slovenly Peter’ — one
finds these books all revised, all
spoiled.
“Give me original versions. I don’t
like revised readings, which are usu
ally as unsatisfactory as the young
wife found them.
"This young wife, after a stormy
scene, cried:
“ ‘lt was different before we mar
ried. Ah, yes, you loved me then —
and now!’
“ ‘I loved you now and then,’ said
her husband, calmly. ‘Revised ver
sion. don’t you know.’ ”
Had No Use for Phonograph.
Tibet’s dalai lama was greatly dis
turbed by the first phonograph he saw.
Edmund Candler, when in Lassa with
the Younghusband expedition, heard
from the Nepalese resident how he
bad recently brought the uncanny toy
as a present from the maharaja of
Nepal to the priest-king. The dalai
lama walked round It uneasily as it
blared forth an English band piece
and an indelicate Bhutanese song.
Then he thought for a long while, and
finally said he could not live with this
voice without a soul. So it was passed
on to somebody else.
Carry Flint.
The Norfolk peasants always regard
pointed flints as thunderbolts. So con
sistent are the simple folks that they
will often assure you that they picked
them up red hot. They carry flints and
stone arrowheads about with them in
the belief that this custom will pre
vent them being struck by lightning.

Sugar From Wood.
Now they’re making sugar out of
wood. British chemists have found
that they can take a ton of sawdust
and get a quarter of a ton of sugar
out of it.
The process consists of putting the
sawdust into a closed retort and sub
jecting it to digestion with a weak
solution of sulphurous acid under a
pressure of from 90 to 100 pounds to
the square inch. Eighty per cent, of
the sugar thus obtained Is ferment
able. The product is called "sacchu
lose.”

grandson. a little lad of 8 or 9 years,
remarked:
“ ‘Nearly a generation and a half

at the battle of Chickamauga.’
“The little boy looked at the
old man's head thoughtfully and said:
“ ‘There isn’t much grazing there
now, is there, sir?'”
