on the digestibility of potatoes by man, recently made at the Minnesota agricultural experiment. station, it was found that 71.9 per cent. of the nan6magin ~and 93..nar cent. of the car- lated. In this expe4aa es- toes were eaten with some eggs, milk and cream, so the conditions may be assumed to be about normal. How far the digestibility of any food is influenced by the foods eaten with it is matter on which little reliable in- formation is available.
 The experiments cited above show little, if anything, regarding the ease or rapidity of digestion, and, indeed, trustworthy data of this sort regard ing any food are not abundant. Ac- cording to some investigations made a number of years ago by Beaumont, and which have been frequently quoted, roasted or baked potatoes re- quire somewhat less time than bread for diges ton in the stomach (conver- sion into chyme); boiled potatoes re- quire the same time as bread, namely, 3A hours. Too much importance
 
 ferences, as no account was taken of digestion in the intestines. As the di- gestion of starch takes place in the intestinal tract after the food has left the stomach, this is a matter of great importance in the case : of starchy foods like the potato. The to- tai length of time the potato remains in the body probab bly does not vary much with the different methods of cooking.
 According to statistics obtained in the large number of dietary studies made in this country, potatoes con- stitute about 1877 per cent. of the to- tai food consumed by the average American family, and furnish not far from 3.9 per cent. of the total protein hydrates.
 The potato is a staple article of diet in almost every household. The universality and extent of it's con- sumption would seem sufficient to prove it to be a wholesome and nu- tritious food. The statement, how ever, is frequently met with in popu- lar articles that potatoes are not wholesome. So far as can be learned this is purely a gratuitous assump- tion. While it is possible that there are persons with whom they do not agree, or who for some reason are compelled to forego starchy foods, there is no reason to suppose that po- tatoes are not as a rule a useful and wholesome article of diet.
 The potato is essentially a starchy food, and eaten alone it would fur nish very one-sided, badly balanced diet, which would probably prove un- wholesome to most people, as it has been estimated that man in health, performing a moderate amount of work, is best maintained by a diet furnishing daily OPS pound protein in addition to fat and carbo- hydrates enough to make the total fuel value $500 calories, while a man without active physical labor might be we'll nourished with O.20 pound of protein and 5000 calories of energy. When the potato is eaten with meat, eggs, fish, etc, which are essentially foods, well-balanced diet, which is most conducive to health and TiSor. is secuxe9.

In later years many studies of the composition and food value of the potato have been made in this and other countries.
 The edible portion is made up of 7s.3 per cent. water, 2.2 per cent. protein (total nitrogenous matter), O.1 per cent. fat, 1894 per cent. carbo- hydrates (principally starch), and one per cent. ash or mineral matter. Of the carbohydrates, O.4 per cent. is made up of crude fiber and materials which in some of their modified tions constitute the cell walls of plants and give them 8 rigid structure.

How to Make Cheese Paste.

Cheese paste for sandwiches is easily prepared. Boil two eggs hard, separate the yolks from the whites,' mash the yolks smooth and chop the whites very fine; mix and put through a vegetable press; then add butter the size of a small egg and three heaping table spoonfuls of grated American cheese. Beat together until it is a fine, smooth paste. If not salt enough, add little and also dry mustard if liked.

A QUEER MIX UP.

With Long and Moran on first and
second, a pretty mix-up resulted in the
base-running business. Moran's vision
must have been temporarily impaired,
as he started to run Long off second,
and got too far along to turn back in
safety Catcher Warner had thu ball,
and Immediately went chasing Moran,
who stopped short half way to second.
After finally closing in on Moran, Long
was on third before the Giant could
stop him. During all this time the
home plate was left without guardian
and when Long reached third there
was nothing to prevent him from ,scor-
ing; but the lynx-eyed Van Haltren,
who was in the party that gathered
around second, spied the opportunity
and FASTENED to the plate. While the
players were trying to regain their
bearings, Long attempted to take adj
vantage of Taylor, the deaf mute, by
stealing home when the latter, with
back turned, was walking back to his
box. Taylor's baseball sense told him
something was happening, and he turn
ed around in time to catch easily the
ambitious Bostonian.-Boston Post.

DIAMOND GLINrs.

Emmett Heidrich, the great st. Louis
fielder, reconsidered his decision to
quit the game. He returned to his old
team Monday and made four hits.
Chicago seems to have the inside
track of Boston in the fight for the
American league championship. The
White Sox have three good pitchers to
relyupon Griffith, Callahan and Patter-
son-while the Beauties have been one
star twirler-the veteran "Cy'' Young.
There are many baseball fans who
would be pleased nightly to see the
Phillies capture the National league
pennant. Since Jennings advent to
the team they have taken a tremen-
dous squirt, and it is within the pale of
possibility that they will win at the
post.
Baseball has been officially recog-
nized and Endorsed by the French gov
eminent, and is to be made part Of
the schoolboy's education in France.
This is evidenced by the engagement
as instructors of Albert Hopkins Of
Baltimore and Harry Alexander of
New York, by NJ. Leyques, minister Of
public instruction. 1t will be the duty
of the Americans to teach baseball to
young Frenchmen.
Roy Patterson, of the Chicago Am
erican League team, made the best
pitching record one day recently that
has ever been credited to a professional
slabman. Detroit made two hits of
of him, and these two men were the
only ones to reach first base during the
game. In all the no-hit games pre-
viously pitched occasional bases on
balls or errors by the winning club
have allowed from three to six base
runners to touch first. and Patterson's
record of two must stand as absolutely
| unrivaied.

There seems to be more college play
ers entering professional baseball ey-
cry year, and my limited experience in
the business has convinced me that
the game offers many excellent oppor-
tunities to young man, provided he
can make good, writes George Winters
of the Boston American Leauge club.
Moreover, | believe that there is much
better chance for a college player to
make good than is usually thought.
The wonderful Christy Matthewson is
perhaps the best example of the sue
cessful college pitcher in professional
baseball. His ability makes him an
exception to the general rule, of course,
and few of us can hope to equal his
phenomenal record. Plank of the Phil
adelphia American League team, col
lege mate of mine, is another example.
While these and others are excep-
tional stars and through their ability
are bound to achieve unusual success,
l believe hard work and constant appli-
cation will enable many with less
genius to at least make good.
{ In my own case, l know that l owe
more to the excellent support of my
team mates and the wonderful coach
ing of Jimmy Collins than to any abil-
ity of my own. Collins is an ideal
captain, and, with him as a side part
ner any pitcher is bound to do his best.
In close game or bad inning his
coaching has been of wonderful assist
ance to me.
1t is this that shows the vital differ
ence between amateur and professional
ball. When pitching in college l usual
ly tried to fool the batsmen, and il
can be done, but in the league it is diff
ferent.
You can't fool the old timers, and il
