STUFFED POTATOES

Bake in hot oven as many large potatoes as required. When done, remove end of potato without breaking the skin.

Scoop out the interior with a dessert spoon.

Mix with butter, milk, salt, pepper and boiled ham; minced.

Put back into shell of potato and sprinkle grated cheese on top.

Put back into oven and leave until cheese browns.

Then serve.

I have made the above with great success.

H2O-OR AQUA PURA

I have no favorite dish-I like everything that's good. But drinking is a very different matter and there is one drink of which I am especially fond: the recipe is very simple but, to be thoroughly appreciated, it should be made with one's own hands. Take a large glass pitcher and wander quietly to the refrigerator and with a Delmonico ice pick, break off a large quantity of small pieces of ice; place them in the glass pitcher, cleanse thoroughly, then fill pitcher with common, ordinary Croton water and consume until satisfied.

This is my favorite beverage morning, noon and night. Sincerely, Thos A Wise
