Facts Abeus the Potato.

"The peculiarly of the Irish potato,
socalled. is in the fact that it is not Irish. ("
observed one of the potato experts Of the
agricultural department. tThe POI
tato originally grew wild in the
fields Of Chile, Peru and Mexico. Sir
John Hawkins did not take il to Ireland
until 1865. Sir Francis Drake took It to
England 70 years aiterward. It did bet
ter, however, in Ireland than anywhere
else-and got its name, no doubt, because
OF its early and extensive cultivation in
Ireland. Botanically it was originally
known % the Batata Virginiana, but In
after years it was properly identified and
classified as the Solanum Tuberorupn.
As the winter stock 10 now being laid in
1t may be we'll for the inexperienced to
be able to select good potatoes. Cut the
raw potato In two and rub the halves to-
gether. II the moisture, on rubbing, is

thing is to test the amount OF starch in

Remember that Castoria does not con-
tain Morphine, Opium, or any other
narcotic substance, in any quantity, shape
or form. 1t is entirely vegetable, pleas
ant to take, positively effective, and per-
fectly harmless. 1t is not secret remedy
the formula is printed on the wrapper.
Your hpysician will recommend it. Pare
goric, Bateman's Drops, and many so called
Soothing Syrups, are composed principal
ly of Opium or Morphine; in any quantity
they stupefy, and in large quantities are
deadly poisons. Castoria assimulates
the food and regulates the bowels, cures
diarrh@a, allays feverishness and freet-
fulness, soothes the pain in teething, re-
lieyes constipation and kills worms. 1t
brings refreshing and natural sleep to the
child, and gives rest to The mother.

and children, that ] recommend it as
superior TO any other known remedy"

was that IL the Mckinley man won he
should receive an additional cent for

McKinley's plurality in New York was
over 266.000. The man who had offered
