Potato Flour
Because the nutritious part of po
tatoes is composed largely of starch tooj
large a quantity is not used in a well,
planned dietary, for too much starch
makes all kinds of digestive troubles, i
However, combined with wheat flour
sind other ingredients potatoes add en
orgy producing elements to any diet.!
Just now when flour and bread are
costly this is important, for the price j
of potatoes is in the reach of every|
purse.
The Swedish method of making po
tato flour was recently contributed, by!
Mrs. C. O. Barnard, in the "Rural New
Yorker." She says, "The potatoes arej
pared, cooked and squeezed through n
sieve or * lard press onto a platter j
where they lie loosely, allowing air to
circulate through and around them. I
They are then dried in an evaporator or
an oven."
"Country Woman" sends another
recipe for the same product but morej
complicated: "The raw peeled potatoes|
are grated and then pressed through a!
sieve and placed in clean wooden tubsj
and covered with water. When, after
several hours, the pulp settles the water
is dark colored and is poured ofi" and
renewed until it remains clear. Then
the pulp must bo drained and broken
into bits and dried, when it is to be
broken, rolled and sifted. Some of the I
lumps will be like grains of corn, some
like rice and some as fine as pin heads.!
Each size is to be put into a bag by
itself.
"It is cooked iu all sorts of ways;
used for thickening stews or as corn i
starch in gravies and the like, made|

The Department of Agriculture has
been experimenting with potato flour j
and says it may be added to wheat '
flour in proportions of twenty-live to 1
fifty per cent, but that when more than I
thirty per cent, of potato flour is added !
the loaves become dark in color and !
coarse in texture.
American housewives have always
added boiled potatoes to bread sponge i
and found the bread correspondingly I
wholesome but it is not usual to add '
any considerable quantity of the veg
etable.
Potato flour has been imported for
many years and this seems absurd when j
we remember that each year we have j
thousands of bushels remaining in stor- '
age. Perhaps the efforts of the "Rural
New Yorker" to interest the public in a
more general use of potatoes will open
up a new industry that will lower our
cost of living.
Certainly put up in packages, "ready
to use" in potato dumplings, or as "a
cereal with hot cream and seasoning
such "flakes" would, find a ready sale
if the price was kept as low as it
might be.
Tn the meantime you will find that
wheat flour is made more nutritious by
following the suggestions of the cor- '
respondents above.
Recipe for Potato Dumplings
Work a pint of mashed potatoes, or
a cup of dried potato pulp, soft with '
one cup of milk and two table spoons
of shortening, butter is best, add flour,
with usual quantity of baking powder l
until it will roll out. Proceed as alwavs. :

Conrad, with a note of pride In his
voice.

thing myself. "It is. Indeed." I said.

clumsy, old fashioned Instrument with i
a grin and I motioned for tbem all to ]

with all the might I had In my body j
failed to shatter the lock, whereupon
my choler rose to heights hitherto un '■
known, I being a very uiild mannered,
placid persou and averse to anything
favoring of the tempestuous. I de
livered a savage and resounding
thwack upon the broad oak panel of
the door, regardless of the destructive
ness that might attend the effort. If J
any one had told me that | couldn't

been the real, simou pure fortress.
As we trudged nack to the lower
balls, defeated, but none the less Im
pressed by otir failure to devastate our
stronghold, I was struck by the aw
ful barrenness of the surroundings.
There suddenly came over me the
shocking realization—the "contents" of
the castle, as set forth rather vaguely
In the bill of sale, were uot what I
had been led to consider tbem.
"Herr Sciimick." said I. abruptly
baiting my party in the center ot the
hall, "what has become of the rugs
that were here last week and where
Is that pile or furniture we nad back
yonder?"
Old Conrad was not slow in answer
ing.
"The gentlemen called day before
yesterday, mein herr, and took much
away. They will return tomorrow for
the remainder."
"Gentlemen?" I gasped. "Remain

"The gentlemen to whom tfie herr
count sold the rugs and chairs and
chests and''—
"What!" I roared Even I'oopen
dyke jumped at this sudden exhibition
of wrath. "Do you mean to tell me
that these things have been sold and
carried away without n*y knowledge
or consent? I'll have the law"—
Herr I'oopendyke intervened. "They
had hills ot sale and orders for re
moval or property dated several weeks
prior to your purcnase, Mr. Smart. We
had to let the articles go. iou surely
remember my speaking to you about
It"
"I don't remember anything," I snap
ped. which was the truth. "Why
why, I bought everything that the cas
tle contained! This Is robbery! What
the dickens do you mean by"—
Old Conrad held up bis bands as if
expecting to pacify ma I sputtered
out the rest of the sentence, which
really amounted to nothing.
"The count has been selling off the
lovely old pieces for the past six
months, sir. Acb, what a sin! They
have come here day after day, these
furniture buyers, to take away the
most priceless of our treasures, to sell
them to the poor rlcb at twenty prices

"But listen to me," 1 broke In. "Do
you menu to say that articles have
been taken away from the castle since
I came into possession?"
"Many or them, sir Always with
proper credentials, believe me. Acb,
what a spendthrift he Is! And his
poor wife! Acb. Oott, how she must
suffer! Nearly all of the grand paint
ings, the tapestries that came from
France and Italy hundreds of years
ago, the wonderful old bedsteads and
tables that were here when the castle
was new—all gone! And for mere
songs, mein berr— the cheapest of
songs! 1—1"
"Please don't weep now, Berr
Bcbmlck," I made haste to exclaim,
seeing lachrymose symptoms In his
blear old eyes. Then I beenme firm

"They are yours to destroy, meln

"It Is a pity to destroy tine old pad
locks"—
"Well, you wuit and see,", said 1
grimly.
His face beamed once more. "Acb,
I forgot to say that there are padlocks
on the other side of the door, just as
on this side. It will be of no use to
destroy these. The door still could
not be forced. Meln Gott, bow thank

"Confound yon. Schmick! I believe
you actually want to keep me out of

The four of tbem protested manful

said Britton. "Why uot place a tall
ladder iu the courtyard and crawl In

"Splendid! That's what we'll do!"

'•yes. I'll see them.'" said I, compress

"1 shan't sir.'" said he.
But 1 did. "CJet up. sir, if you
please," Britton repeated the third
time. "'The pnrty of Americans is be
low. sir. rummaging about the place."
"Where is Poopendyke?" I cried,
leaping out of bed.
"Mr. Poopendyke is in despair, sir.
He has tried to explain that nothing is
