John Gilmer Speed, DR.. Cyrus Ed
son Tex president OF the New York
board Of healthy and Mrs. s. Z. Rorer
learnedly discuss The Potato as q
+ Daily Diet In Ladies' Home Jour
nal, and pretty onclusiyely prove.
that the humble and popular tuber is
not a healthfui article Of food. Mr..
Speed asserts that the potato, as a
food. is not nearly so valuable as we
s have very generally esteemed it to be-.
1t is quite deficient in nitrogen, and
as a sole diet is, therefore, unsuitable.
Tt is hard to digest, and should, there
fore, be partaken Of very sparinglY by
all save those who live active lives
out-of- doors. =" The potato pro-
vokes our great national ailment, dys-
pepsia, and tile sooner the consump-
ton Of the mealy tubers begins the
sooner will the dread fangs Of the dys-
pepsia appear. ~
DR.. Edison, in a rejofnder to Mr..
Speed, writes; II must quite agree.

of the potato. / am sorry to have to-
say anything against the humble tub
'er, but the truth, especially when it is
scientific, and more especially medico-
scientific, must be told. Tt is certain

with the assurance that it will do him
no harm. ~ The practice Of
feeding potatoes to infants and young
children cannot be too severely con-
demned. "a potato diet may not kill
them outright at once, but it is certain
to injure their digestive organs per-
manently and effectually, so as to
make their lives a burden to them
selves and those who are brought in
contact with them" DR.. Edison also
contends that the potato is very def
Gent in nutritive qualities, and has
less value as an article of food than
most vegetables and cereals.
&, Mrs. Rorer writes: II am not po-
tato prohibitionist, but firmly be-.
lieve that potatoes should be served
only with strongly-concentrated nitro
genous food, such as roasted beef, or,
for the vegetarian, with beans, peas
or lentils.'

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.
Some Facts About 1t From One of Our Re
tail Merchants.

The warm weather yesterday, the clean
condition of the streets and the general
beauty and attractiyeness of the day
brought out the Christmas shoppers in
even greater number than on yesterday.
Congress streets sidewalks were crowd
ed and so We're most of our large stores.
The senior member Of one of our largest
retail stores that may be taken as fairly
representing the Christmas trade, said
yesterday, that the Christmas trade de-
ponds upon the financial condition and
that this year he has found it thus far
rather below the average. Those people
whose income depends upon the interest
from invested money, are hedging some
whatkin their Christmas purchases. This
is more noticeable this year even, than
it was lastayear, showing Ethat the inter-
est from invested money isn't what it
ought to be even yet. People whose in
come depends upon regular wages Ehave
as much money as ever, but his store
caters to the richer class and the sales are
not up to the average for Christmas.
This week the trade has started up brisk
ly and in fact has been good during the
month, though last weeks cold snap
didn't help it any. 1t is mistake to
suppose that Christians gifts are bought
all at once within short time of Christ
mas. People are getting more and more
in the habit of coming early to avoid
the rush IN this respect and begin buy
ing Christmas presents as early as Octob-
err
Those that are bought early average
higher in price than those later.
