The Potato in the Revolutionary War.
During the Revolutionary war. Gen-
eral Francis Marion was one of the
bravest fighters on the American side.
He and his soldiers ‘!\'ed in the thick
forests of South Carolina.
The story in told that one day an Err
glish general sent a young soldier out
to find General Marion and deliver to
him a message.' The messenger found
the general and his men about to eat
their supper and he was asked to loin
them. ‘ ‘
When the plates were paused. they
moved to be huge chips cut from a
large tree near the campfire. The En-
glish soldier looked at the strange
plates and began to wonder what the
food would be.
Soon it soldier appeared with some
mmolting-hot potatoes taken from the
ashes oi the campfire. The English
soldier thought he had never eaten
[anything more delicious than those
baked potatoes and a little later as
they all «at around watching the plates
.burn in the glowing lire, Gen. Marion
said to the Englishman: “You now see
what we Americans have to eat here
in the woods. Hut lust as long as we
have potatoes, so long will we continue
to fight for our country."
American soldiers are now lighting
Iiy the side of the English soldiers.
In modern warfare. there is no need to
eat from wooden chips. But there is
need for plenty of nourishing food for
the soldiers. The potato crops of Eu-
rope are diminishtd and it is not prac-
ticable to ship so bulky and perish
able a food from America.
The answer to this is that America
must eat more potatoes and send that
.Jnuch more wheat to the boys at the
(rent. One good sized baked potato
will equal in nourishment a slice and
dbmuartonr of wheat bread. No pt»
triotic American will hesitate to put

piee for his count .

Fashion Points

Fashion Tips.
Some blouses will show woolen trini~
ming. Knitted collard and cuffs on,
cridon blouses for some reason ac.-
qulred a distinct vogue and they are
warmer days to come. They are first
seen in inexpensive blouses but clever
women soon saw that they could faith-
ion thtse cliffs and collars themselves
with knitting needles and wool and
either make a simple chiffon blouse to
attach them to or get a home dress-
maker to fashion the blouse for them
Helpful Hints.
Honey vs. Sugar.
Let honey take the place of sugar
when it can. A second helping of hot
biscuits and honey has never yet been
refused. There is something about
honey that unconsciously wins our
favor.
Honey is marketed in two forms
known reapectively as comb and ex-
tracted honey, the. fortncr being used
much like jam or marmalade and the
latter either in that way or for cook-
ing. There has been some prejudice
against extracted hottry, or honey re
at considerable saving of cost. And
this wool collar and cuff set need not
he unpatriotic; it need not use wool
that might be used for soldiers—tor
there is in almost every woman's knit-
ting bag enough dainty wool left over
from a sweater with which to make
these coloriul tt‘ ‘ecrleil.
Even newer than the wooden Jo'-
elry are the tops of handbags made of
some dull finish brown wood that com-
bines better than you would think with
tho black velvet bag.
Some. of the new knitting bags are
made' of the daintlest figured silk and
for handles. instead of the soft ribbon
or rich metallic cord one might expect
they show ordinary little. wicker han‘
dies such fit-l commonly used on
('hlflt‘fit' tettpots.
New Girdiea.
Camouflage is the word that has
spread oer the planet. and it in a word
that no longer refers to war. but is for-;
ever incorporated in the language of a
people. A new sash in camouflage on
an old gown and as such it plays an.
important part in the development of
this season’tt clothes.
These sashes have the bins move
ment, they girdle the hips in oblique
lines; they lie at the side; they form
an apology for a bustle in the back:
they are now in front in the primitive
fashion; they are fringed. embroider
etl. stenclled or made of batik.
They are the connecting link be-
tween a blouse of one kind and a skirt
of another. and they soften these two
opposing garments.
Organdte Neolcwear.
Some of the new neckwean—and
this is Just the. time of the year when
the shops are crowded with lovely
nocltwear—-is made of colored organ-
die, trimmed with Valenclennes inser- ‘
lion. worked in interesting scrolls and
criss-crows designs.
WORK POI PMSONERS.
The employment of tail prisoners on
the highways will result in an increase
in the help which will be available for
the agricultural activities of the state.
Many outdoor workmen. not finding
employment for their labor on the
highwaye. will turn to the farms for
work. Commiulonor Bennett has con-
fidence that the experiment of employ-
ing jail prisoners in 'lt‘airneld county
will be successful and he is hopeful
that it will be extended to Hartford
county. He has had an experience
with the employment of inmates of
the Cheshire reforuatory which was
very satisfactory. and it encourages-
him in the oplnicn that the employ-
ment. of iall pmonere will have simi-
lar rcsultr—Hartford Times.
We really can spare the wheat and
the meat.
{moved (ruin the comb, because it was
.bclieved it was frequently adulterated.i
; However prevalent this practice mayi
have. been. recent legislation and the
tenorrs of honey producers themselves
lhave made it dangrous and unprotlr
able.
The simplest and perhaps most pop;
ular way of using honey is to serve it
like lam or syrup with bread, pant!
cakes, etc. When used in this way ani
ounce of honey may be regarded as)
the equialt-nt of an ounce of lam. i
The housewife will also find some‘.
form of tart fruit served with honey.I
cottage cheese and bread and butterfi
an attractive combination and an eco-1
namicnl substitute for the much prized
and very expensive currants. whicin
are themselves often cooked in honey
and served with crt-ttm cheese and
crackers. l
