agreeable favor. 1t was introduced
into this country at the time Of Ra-
leigh's voyages to Virginic, and has
steadily increased in popularity ever
since.
Every school child is aware that
potatoes are classed as starch foods,
and that their bulk is made UP large
~ OF water. The accompanying dia-
gram, prepa.ed for the Department Of
Agriculture, shows graphically the
proportlon Of edible and inedible con-
tents Of a potato. 1t is chiefly on ac-
count OF the starch content that po-
( tatoes are eaten, and while they are
apparently not economical foods, ow-
ing to the large proportion Of water
which they contain, this is not actual
ly the case. In other foods, as for in
stance, rice, there is four times as
much nourishment as in an equal
weight Of potatoes, but then wnter or
milk is added to the rice in preparing
! It for the table, so that when ready to
! be eaten It very much resembles DO
tatoes In the assimilable proportion,
bulk for bulk. Equal weights Of the
two foods do not cost as much in each
case.
Being chiefly starch the potato ia,
valuable as a source OF muscular en-
ergy and does not serve to build or
repair the body tissue, except In very
small degree. This explains why po-
tatoes are generally served with foods
rich in tissue making properties, such
as meats, and why 1t is that large
numbers of the country population OF
Ireland and Germany are so poorly
nourished. Potatoes alone are very
one-sided diet.
The accompanying table shows at a
glance how the potato is proportioned
as regards its food value:

1t Is often asserted that the potato
is unwholesome, but there is no scien-
tlhc basis for It. Eaten alone pota-
toes, of course, would form a very
badly balanced diet AS a matter OF
fact its universal popularity and con-
sumption are evident from the Stats
tics above quoted, that 1t forms near
ly fourteen per cent. Of the total food
of the people Of this country, furnish
ing about four per cent. Of the total
proteins, or heterogeneous foods, and
nearly ten per cent, Of the total carbo-
hydrates or starches.
A word of warning. Potatoes that
have been stored for long time and
which have begun to sprout, should
not be- eaten, as they are apt to con.
tain an undue amount of solanin, OF
poisonous substance. Numerous cases
of poisoning are on record resulting
from this cause.--Philadelphi Record
