If you ahe still using old potatoes
soak them in cold water at least one
hour after they are pared. Then boil
them, slowly and continually—a little
milk in the water in which they are
boiled will benefit them. As soon as
they are sufficiently cooked, drain
them well and dry them by shaking
them Into the saucepan; set them on
back of range and cover with a
coarse towel until ready to serve
them. Do not cover when sent to
the table. Old potatoes prepared In
this way will never be the unap
petizing vegetable so often served
with the excuse, “they are old po
tatoes.”
The change to electric power of the
world’s most northern railroad,
which is in Sweden, increased train
capacity 40 per cent and speed 50
per cent In a year.
