Potato Boycott
Cuts Sales
A great (ailing off in sales of po
tatoes is an outstanding feature of
the vegetable market in Omaha and
probably elsewhere as well. There
lias been no official embargo declared
iere upon the high-priced tuber. But
there is no necessity for the decla
ration of an official embargo when
the price is up cround 75 cents a
peck. The domestic engineers have
just simply declared they will get
along without potatoes and they are
proceeding to dp that same thing by
buying other"vegctal)les. And the
vegetable men don't care, because,
they say, at present prices there is no
prctit m potatoes. They sell them
at just about cost.
There arc many vegetables on the

Salad Making I. .
If you were asked offhand to name
the most attractive-looking food you
had ever seen I imagine your an
swer would be either a dessert or a
salad. These two articles of diet of
fer more range for artistic display
than any other type of food. Salads,
particularly, can be made tempting
in appearance, since in them we have
highly colored foods. Perhaps owe
reason why young people, particularly
girls, are so fond of salads, is the ap
peal to the eye. But even with shut
eyes we can appreciate salads, because
to most of us the sharo flavors of
acid and condiments are very pleasing.
All ot which reasoning has caused
people to look upon the salad course
as "something extra," put in solely
because we like if, hence a luxury
to be avoided when close watch is
kept upon expenditures. It is quite
true that as sources of fuel for the
body salady art extravagances, but
we cannot be well nourished on fuel
foods alone. The body processes must
be carefully adjusted, and the food
for this regulation is minerar matter,
which occurs especially in fresh fruits
and vegetables. In addition to min
eral matter, uncooked fruits and vege
tables contain certain little under
slood substances called vitamines,
without which certain diseases occur,
notably scurvy. Here are two rea
sons why salads are not an extrava
gance at any season of the year. It
is not necessary to have the expensive
vegetables, such as hothouse toma
toes and cucumbers, for salad; ordi
nary leaf lettuce, if cold, fresh and
crisp, with a good dressing is equally
satisfactory.
Of the innumerable possible combi
nations of all the food use as salads
we can distinguish not over a half
dozen really different kinds. There
are the heavy salads, such as fish,
meat, egg, cottage cheese; there are
the light salads of fruits and vege
tables or combinations of both
(though some vegetable salads, such
as potato or kidney bean approach the
"heavy" type); there are gelatine sal
ads, which may be either heavy or
light, depending upon what is put into
them. 1 he heavy salads should never
be served as a parSof a dinner; or at
luncheon, unless they form the main
course; they are used chiefly a, the
basis of. light refreshments. A light
salad forms part of a dinner or lunch
eon, either as a separate course or
served with the meat course. This
type of salad may also be used at
an afternoon or evening party.
The names of different kinds-'of
salad dressings are often misused by
the American people. There are just
three main kinds of dressings, the
French, the mayonnaise and the
cooked, '
French Dressing.
One part vinegar or lemon juice.
The Tarragon vinegar is particularly
nice. Two, three or four parts of oil.
Two parts make a thin acid dressing;
four a bland dressing. Three parts is
the most usual. Seasoning of salt, pap
rika,'etc. One and one-half teaspoons
salt to one cup oil.
Mix all ingredients together in a
chilled bowl, and beat with a silver
fork until a smooth mixture results.
It is unnecessary labor to add the oil
drop by drop. A special flavor is ob
tained by rubbing the salad bowl be
fore using with a clove of garjic.
A new and handy device on the
market is a bottle for the mixing of
French dressing. Vinegar is poured
into the bottle up to a certain line, the
oil to another line, seasoning added,
then the bottle is corked and shaken
till the ingredients are thoroughly
mixed. A similar device may easily
be made at home. Select a bottle of
the desired size; fill it nearly full of
water, then measure the contents. If
the bottle should hold one cup of

Co-Operation.
Readers are cordially invited to

give suggestions from their expe
rience that may be helpful to
others meeting the same problems.
water, and a three-to-one proportion
dressing is desired, pour one-fourth
cup vinegar into the h6ttle and mark
that level on the outside of the bottle
by scratching with a file. Then add
three-fourths cup of oil and mark the
second level in the same way. The
seasonings may be added at the begin
ning or later. Cork the bottle and
shake just before using. With this
device, a quantity of dressing may be
made up at one time, and the ingre
dients need never be measured but
the first time.
No oil is so delicious as olive oil
to the person who is accustomed to it.
but to the uninitiated the olive oil
flavor is often distasteful. French
dressing may be made 'equally well
from corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut
oil or any commercial table oil.
French dressing is by far the best
dressing for all vegetable salads. It
may be used for any type of salad.
"Marinating" means soaking in
French dressing.
Mayonnaise.
Though we use the term "Mayon
naise," to indicate any kind of salad
dressing, mayonnaise means just one
thing an emulsion of oil in acid and
egg yolk. The following is a standard
recipe:
1 t. mustard. 2 ett polka.
1 t. .alt. 2 T. lemon Juice. '
1 t. powdered sugar. 14c oil.
Few grain, cayenna. I T. vinegar. '
Stir together the eggs, mustard, salt,
pepper and sugar. Add the oil, a drop
at a time, stirring and beating con
stantly. The back of a silver fork' is
a good thing for mixing mayonnaise,
though some people prefer a Dover
beater. There is a very satisfactory
oil dropper on the market, which
costs 15 cents. As the dressing be
comes very thick it should be thinned
occasionally with vinegar and lemon,
alternately, but never let it lose its
consistency. After the first, the oil
may be added more rapidly. All in
gredients and utensils must be cold.
If the weather is warm, the bowl
should be surrounded with ice water.
If the dressing should separate, be
gin with another yolk , of egg and
stir the separate mixture into it slow
ly, as before. Set the bowl in a cold
place and it should keep for many
days. A mashed hard boiled egg yolk
is an addition to the dry ingredients.
Mayonnaise dressing may be used
for any kind of salad. It is particu
larly favored for meat, fish and egg
salads, and for vegetable salads for
special occasions. v
Thousand Island Dressing.
Thousand Island Dressing is the
name given to mayonnaise or cooked
salad dressing to which is added var
ious chopped ingredients and season
ings. Chopped green peppers, pimen
toes. and hard cooked eggs are al
ways added; other possible additions
include chilli sauce, Worcestershire
sauce, or tomato ketchup; chopped
pickles, onions, chives, olives, etc.
These foods may be added in ay de
sired quantities.

Hubby Objects to Wife
Attending Hops by Herself
Three years of wedded life has not
tended to cool the love of George
Kazaros for his wife. Thursday even
ing, it is said, Mrs. Kazaros attended
a dance at Washington hall without
the consent of her doting spouse.
Peevish at this lack of discipline,
Kazaros "is said to have , grabbed .his
trusty six-shooter and a pair of brass
knucks and started on his way to
wreak vengeance upon any man who
dared dance with his wife. Officer
Anderson was attracted by the oaths
of Kazaros at Seventeenth and Har
ney streets and, believing that the
man was up to some mischief, ar
rested him. Upon Kazaros were found
the revolver and brass knucks. In po
lice court Friday- morning he was
given a suspended sentence of sixty
days.

Police Believe They Have
Solved Porcine Mystery
With the arrest of Edward Blake,
the police believe they have closed
the last chapter of a baffling porcine
mystery.
Blake is said to have stolen a hog
from the Omaha Feed and Render
ing company. Notified of the crime,
officers followed a trail of blood and
footsteps to a vacant house near
Tenth and Grace streets. There they
found the animal under a pile of straw
with its throat cut. They were ad
vised of its presence when it gave
its last dying grunt. Blake was turned
over to the Council Bluffs police, as
the rendering plant is on land un'dcr
the jurisdiction of the Iowa town.
Quo-Warranto Proceedings
Filed Against Compton
A. C. 'Harte, defeated candidate for
county commissioner, has filed with
the clerk of the district court quo
warranto proceedings to oust A. D.
Compton, successful candidate, from'
the office. Harte alleges in his petition
that no election should have been
held in 1916 under the four-year rule,

elections should have been held in
1909 and 1913, and that there should
