quart of water). Cook them with
the cover of the kettle ajar, until
tender, from 20 to 30 minutes.
Drain tho potatoes; remove the
skins; dress the potatoes with butter
if desired, and serve them immedi
ately. If it is necessary for the po
tatoes to stand a few minutes before
being served, cover them with a cloth,
not a lid, in order that the steam as
it condenses may be absorbed by the

tatoes to make them soggy. This is
the reason for serving potatoes in
an uncovered dish.' '- The potatoes
may be sprinkled with chopped
parsley.

Everybody Save Coal
" An appeal to the people of the
United States by Fuel Administrator
H. A. Garfield, follows:
It is the duty of every American
to save coal this winter. If every
family will save a ton of coal, if
every industrial plant will save 10
per cent of the coal it uses, which
10 per cent is now wasted, the coal
problem will be solved. There i8
plenty of coal in the ground, but
there is a shortage of cars and labor
at the mimes.
If every family will reduce the
temperature of its house at least 5
degrees, it will mean that millions of
tons of coal will be saved and the
health of the nation will be im
proved. This is not a hardship; it is
a health measure,, for most Amer
icans live in Superheated houses.
The solution of the coal problem
lies largely with the American peo
ple. The government can not save
coal for 'them;'1 they must save it for
themselves. Thfey must not -rely
vVholiy' upon price-fixing, nor upon
the already over-taxed transporta
tlbn systems of ttie country, nor upon
the1 efforts to increase production,
nor iu)oh.' th'eY apportionment of coal,
nor tip oV thej enforcement of the
law. ' Alll mustc?q-operate. The con
sumer of coaV in 'flie house and fac-
tory can co-cperate 'most effectively
by the economies suggested.
