DREADFUL THEoRY-MUsT THE POTATO sUcoUMB
To THE BEAN? GERMAN SCIENCE AGAINST THE
MuRPHIEs.
writer in the GALAXY says
In Germany there exists a decided prejudice
against potatoes, because they are composed OF
three-fourths water, with but ten to fifteen per
cent, starch, contained in indigesible cells. The
French, who make a perfect science OF the whole
business Of nOuTishment and cookery, rarely eat
potatoes, expect occasionally fred for the second
breakfast They consume beans more than any
other vegetables. and With reason, for dried
beans contain twenty-five per cent albumen and
fftv of starch, and the common lentils, twenty
xix per col.t, of albumen and fifty of starch, In
the lnOnasteries of France and Italy great guam
titles Of beans are used, especially during the
Lenten season. German naiurasts are now
scar ,hing all over the world for a substitute for
potatoes and this is believed to have been found
in China in the dioScorea jdponicd, which endures
the Gre atest cold and is mere nourishlng and
better favored thGn the pototo. In the Museum
of Natural History at Paris specimen three feet
long and we Ching three pounds WAS exhibited
Several German Writer'S upon races predict
tlat nations, far from improving, will deterlor'
ate both in physical and mental characteristics,
it potatoes become principal article of diet
The celebrated Carl Nuigt says THAT the unnou-
rishug potato does not restore the wasted tiss-
ues, but makes our lruletariats physically and
mentally weak" The Holland physiologst Mul-
der gives the same Judgment, when he declares
that the excessive use Of putatues among the
poorer class e7 aud coffee and tea by the higher
ranks. is the cause of tile induleuce Of nations.
Led slfruat maintains that the revolutions OF
the last three centuries have been caused by the
changed nourishment. In former days the low
est VT rkmen ate more flesh than now, when the
cheap potato forms his principal subsistence,
but gives lim no muscular or nervous strength.
