This is sufficient for three big loaves of bread. Soak yeast in a little warm water with a little of the sugar for one hour. Boil potatoes and mash fine. Add enough warm water to potato water to make one quart. Add yeast and mashed potatoes to the wa- ter. Then stir in the shorts and two tablespoonfuls of white flour. Let rise over night. In the morning mix in salt and remainder of sugar and white flour to make dough. Knead till smooth and elastic. All shorts and flour must be sifted well after measuring. Let rise till twice its bulk, knead down and let rise again. Form into loaves and bake in moder- ate oven for 45 minutes. — Miss Helen Carsten, 615 West 17th street, Van- couver, Wash.
