Sweet potatoes contain more of the various bodily nutriments than most vegetables—sugar, starch and fat and are therefore delectable even when r-epared In the simplest way—plain, baked or even boiled. Sweet Potato Pone 4 cupfuls of hot, -nashed sweet po-

tatoes

1 cupful of hot milk 1-2 cupful of butter 1 cupful of sugar 2 tablespoonfuls of ginger 1-2 teaspoonful of salt 1 orange. BoD the sweet potatoes In their skins, and while still hot remove th skins and mash. Cream the butte, and sugar together, add potato, milk and seasonings and the Juice and grated rind of orange . Beat thoroughly, pour Into a buttered baking dish and bake in a moderate oven for one hour. Sweet Potato Pie 1 1-2 capfuls of hot mashed, sweet potatoes 1-2 cupful of sugar 3-4 cupful of hot milk 2 tablespoonfuls of butter Grated nutmeg, lemon Juice

2 eggs.

Mash the boiled potatoes while hot and add to them the beaten yolks of eggs and the hot milk, sugar, grating nutmeg and a few drops of lemon juice. Finally fold In the stiffly beaten whites of eggs. Pour into the pie crust and bake in a hot oven. Stewed Sweet Potatoes Boll the potatoes and when partly tender remove and cut Into cube! Mix In a bowl containing two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, two cupluls of milk, salt and pepper. Dredge with two tables poo nfi'ls of flour and cook In a double boiler for 20 minuter. Sweet potatoes may be scalloped as the white ones are, and a very dp - liclous vegetable dish Is -made by mashing the sweets after boiling, adding salt, pepper, butter and milk and baking with a sprinkling of grated cheese until brown.

A Queer Superstition In some null Now York villages the townfolk think that whenever there Is • thunderstorm, old Henry Hudson and his men are playing Ninepins in the mountains.

Now, picture to yourself a ball and a set of ninepins twenty times as large as the set you play with and you will have a small conception of the set used by Hudson and his men. according to the old superstition, when they go out to play the game that makes the entire mountain side shake with thunder. Many of you are no doubt worn!erne who the man is who would want to play nine-pins on the New York Mountains during a thunder stonn and why the superstition has arisen tn New York.

York.

Stories of Hudson and his adventures along the Hudson River and m the mountains spread about the country. and many many years after the good man had died the superstition spread that he had never died at all, but that he and his crew from the Half Moon were hidden among the caves and rocks of the mountains, and that on warm summer nights they went to a chosen nook and there en-
