The Housewife's Dill Friend

some like them new and some like them old. Some like them hot and some like them cold, some like them mashed and seine like them whole. But uses for potatoes are still un- told. O 0 0

As colder weather approaches and appetites expand. a satisfying touch to breakfast. lunch or din- ner may be found in the Canadian l1omemakers' old friend, the po- tato. This member of the vege- table family is a joy to cook. It can be served in many ways, by itself or in combination with al- most anything edible. It is easy on the budget and as a left over it has many uses. '

Since potatoes are more fre- quently served with dinner than at any other time, serve them a different way each day of the week and surprise the family.

Baked potatoes cut in half, sprinkled with grated cheese and

placed under the broiler until cheese is melted and golden brown, are a change from baked

potatoes with Just a lump of but- ter inserted in the top. Another idea is to remove a lengthwise piece from the centre of a raw po- tsto, with the aid of an apple carer. Stuff the hole with cooked meat, a sausage or cheese. Plug ends with some of the potato that was cored out and then bake.

Variations ior boiled potatoes. with or without jackets. mashed or creamed, may include Duchess po- tatoes, consisting of mashed, sea- soned potatoes with butter and beaten egg yolk added. The mix- lure is whipped until fluffy, placed by spoonfuls on a. pan, or for fancy shapes pressed through pas- try tube tlicn brushed with slight- ly beaten egg white and browned in the oven. For that special oc- casion, Chantilly potatoes may be served. They are mashed potatoes. seasoned and placed in a case- role, topped with whipped cream. sprinkled with grated cheese and placed in the oven until light brown.

Left over boiled potatoes may be served as: hash browned. when they are chopped finely. seasoned with salt and pepper and browned in a frying pan; Lwnnaise pota- toes, when they are cut in cubes, seasoned with sal: and pepper, on- ion and parsley and pan fried un- til brown; Dclmonico potatoes. when they are mixed with a cream sauce, seasoned and put in I cas- serole. topped with bread crumbs and browned in the oven; or as croquettes;--when riced potatoes are shaped into cylinders, dipped in slightly beaten egg, rolled in bread crumbs and deep fat fried.

But don't restrict the use of po- tatoes to dinner menus. For breakfast the family may enjoy fried potato slices with their bacon and egg or potato pan- cakes instead of toast. For the pancakes, cooked mashed or grat- ed raw potatoes may be used. For lunch. a hot or cold potato salad is always enjoyable. The home economist: of the Consumer Sec- tion. Canada Department of Agri- culture have provided a recipe for a tasty potato loaf.

LIVING LONG Al-TEE HEART BTBOKES

Not long ago. when an indivi- dual had an attack of coronary thrombosis, in heart stroke, it was thought that the sword of Democ- les hung over him and the next stroke, or at most the third stroke, would carry him off. Then, it was found that the majority of these cases, by going to bed for four or five weeks. then taking more rest, avoiding excitement and avoiding or cutting down on tobacco, were able to live several years, some having further strokes and some having no further strokes.

some encouraging information on heart strokes comes from headquarters, the American Heart Journal, St. Louis, that should be known by all victims of heart strokes and by their families.

Dr. E. P. Boas reports studies of 115 men and nine women who had been under observation for cor- onary artery discase Ior at least ten years. The average time since first attack occurred was l3.6 years.

The age of the patient when first attack occurred had no ap- parent eifect upon how long he would remain alive or on the course oi the disease. Patients whose illness began with a simple angina pccioris (breast pain or breast pang! had a better prog- nosis ichancc of remaining alive) than those whose heart symptoms began with a heart stroke. In 15 patients who had not had high blood pressure. enlargement of the heart had developed. Eighty-one patients (65 per cent) were with- out heart symptoms for one or more years and B9 (72 per cent) followed their usual occupations during most oi illclr illness.

Dr. Boas states that this study of 115 cases oi coronary artery disease emphasizes the fact that the unpredictable, variegated course of coronary artery disease and the frequent modifications or

Other ideas for using potatoes include soups, biscuits, scones. breads, cookies. cakes and poultry stuifings. Recipes will probably be found in your favourite cook book. but if there are none, then try a little experimenting, it's lots oi funl

ELl.Ell'S DIARY

By an Island Farmers Wife

"1 think I could soon discour- age that" James said this morn- ing of something that had enter- ed our conversation in that usual- ly short but exquisite period oi wakefulness which precedes our rising. Then it is that in a more or less detached state oi mind we chat oi things past and items to come.

Dawn was being marked by a sliver of light at the window, not with any sharp brightness of promise, but it seemed with that dim listlessness which is the fore- runner of an indifferent fall day.

The wind which had been com- plaining eerily through the bare vines about the eave was rising

now, in a noisy blustering man- ner. we expected might make James rise to a spell of stove-pipe cleaning, an endeavour we would postpone to some fairer weather. A gust rattled the small panes. spent itself about the roof and in its wake a nice silence settled. And now James was at the new window over-looking the pond. searching intently there for such favorable signs as would assure him oi progress at gathering our latest harvest of the fields: the turnips
