THE ÜBIQUITOUS POTATO. This common vegetable of Mother Earth has many possibilities for food depending upon the skill and training of the hand that prepares it. In the use of the potato there is a varying degree of proficiency. The bachelor maid or man may prepare a delicious and wholesome soup with a little gas burner and a potato or two. A variety of soups may be served to vary the monotony, by adding fresh celery to the potatoes while cooking, or celery salt for Seasoning. Onion may be scalded in the milk, thus giving each soup an individuality of its own. The variations and seasonings of potato soup, though many of them slight, will count up into the hundreds.

Jackson Soup.—Pare three large potatoes and one carrot, cut in small pieces and cook until tender. Chop a small onion and brown in a tablespoonful of fat. Add a tablespoonful of flour; add to the mashed potato and the water In which they were cooked. Season to taste. Potato Soup.—Cut up and boil two potatoes in a quart of water; maah and strain. Add a pint of milk and a tablespoonful of flour and butter that have been cooked together; season with salt, pepper and onion or garlic and a little chopped parsley. Serve very hot.

Another Potato Boup.—Chop a slice of salt pork and put into a sauce pan with a small piece of onion, chopped; fry a light brown. Add four potatoes cut fine, cover with a quart of boiling water and cook until the potatoes are tender. Rub through a sieve, season wtth salt, pepper and add a cup ot talik. Reheat and serve. , A beaten egg added to a potato soup makes a great Improvement In Its appearance. ■ A . A ’. A. ’A*

HELPFUL HINTS. It is the skill of the cook that con verts the simple soup into a creation, the pinch of this or the pinch of that which, given at the right moment, of the right thing, that separates by a spanless chasm the commonplace from the novel. We all like originality and desire, above all things, to hays our homes, tables and persons express a pleasing Individuality. We all like Immaculate homes, free from dust, disorder and confusion, but when one pair of hands has to do all the choice must be made between the necessities and the things that can be slighted. We can do away with a few les frills and furbelows on our cooking and clothes, unnecessary scouring of things already clean, but we needs must look after the health of the family, to see that the food that they have served is both nourishing and good to look at; that our sinks and wash bowls are kept clean, that our dishes are washed with care and cleanliness. Other things can wait or take less time, but the things that affect the health and happiness are essentials and ot course vary In different homes. Tomatoes and Macaroni—Scald a pint of cream over hot water, add half a pound of diced cheese and when it is melted add a fourth of a cup of butter and a dash of salt and paprika Arrange around five baked tomatoes a half pound of cooked macaroni laid in a wreath. Pour over the cheese mixture, and serve. Meat Balls—Put through the meat grinder sufficient cold meat to make a cupful; add a cup of cold cooked rice and season with salt and pepper. Beat one egg and add to It two table spoonfuls of milk. Pour about two tablespoonfuls of this over the meat and rice to bind them together; If too dry, add a little more milk. Dip out A spoonful of the mixture, roll tn crumbs, dip in egg and fry In just enough butter to keep them from burning.

K Never Is With Us.

Business Man (explaining)—When they say “money Is easy” they mean simply that the supply is greater than the demand. His Wise—Goodness! I shoutout tnlnk such a thing possible.

MM THE BEULAH BUCK CO. i Four Attractive Young Women to Entertain on Lyceum Course For several seasons Mrs. Beulah Buck has devoted all her time to the ’ giving of full evening programs, assisted' by only a pianist It was not I until this season that she could be • induced, by offers of a long season’s > engagement and a large salary, to head a women’s quartet of singers i and- tnterainers. She has chosen a company that will do her credit. i Each member is a soloist and in ensemble numbers their voices “blend , like a perfect instrument.” Mrs. Buck I is a reader of unusual merit and ’ charm, capable of giving full evening i programs alone. Her material is new I and unhackneyed and her ability as | a singer is used to splendid advantage in a number of her sketches. These four young women make a splendid appearance, are attractively | gowned, and make several changes of costume in the course of an evening’s program.

Out Joy Riding.

About thirty of Pleasant Grove’s most prominent young people went out sleigh-riding the other night, and in the round the sled turned upside down, spilling them all out in a pile. The driver was the only one seriously hurt, where one of the ladies’ No. 9 struck him on top of the head and knocked him off his balance for quite awhile. He, of course, was given very special attention and soon rallied, with many cri& from the girls, “don’t tell pa.” Frank Steffel and his assistant. Miss ——, had they been in the crowd they would have had to call for a family physician. Well, A. 0., is Frank on the lift yet? C. P. says wQien they pay for the use of the sled they may have the No. 9 rubber that was left in the sled. It looks as If it was the one that struck the driver, it being bruised a little on one side.—From the Pleasant Grove Reporter.
