Suggests Polling Guard on Universal Drill Washington, D. C„ Jan. 23.—Claim ing that the National Guard had broken down under every test and arguing in support of the "Plattsburg idea" of a system of universal train ing, Mayor Mitchel, of New York, sug gested a poll of the National Guard on the question of universal' military training and service in his appearance before the Senate committee on mili tary affairs, in company with ether representatives of the Military Train ing Camps Association to-day.

Second, that tubers which have been exposed to light for any considerable period soon acquire a more or less acrid taste; for this reason, newly harvested pota toes, if mature, are preferable for the winter's supply to those which have been kept for any considerable period under unsuitable conditions. Third, that very large pota'toes are not espe cially desirable, partly on account of the greater length of time required to cook them uniformly, and partly be cause they are often very variable in texture. Fourth, a good potato should be tlrm and crisp when cut, and a thin cross section when held between the eye and the light should show a rela tively uniform distribution of starch throughout its whole area: as opposed to a large, translucent, watery, central area which denotes a lack of starch in this portion of the tuber. The even distribution of starch insures greater uniformity in cooking and in texture of the flesh when cooked. If a lot is not uniform, it is often worth while to sort them and use the large ones with roast meats, or at other times when the oven need not be especially heated, and save the small | ones for occasions when quick cooking is more convenient. When the pota toes are very large, or time is press ing, it is often desirable to increase the surface exposed to the heat by cut ting them in pieces before cooking, in spite of the fact that this slightly in creases the amount of nutrients lost. If they are pared and cut into small cubes or thin slices, they will cook very quickly and may then be cream ed, mashed or served in other ways. $9,650,000 Worth of Stock Sold at Lancaster Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 23.
