HELPRD HER HUsBAND.
Mrs. La Toilette, wife of yvisconsIn's
Governor, is a HeIpmate In
the Fullest Sense.

The tact and magnetism possessed
by Mrs. La Toilette, wife of the COVER
nor of Wisconsin, have made her of
the greatest assistance to her husband
in his political campaigns. She is best
known among the women-of the state
for her advocacy of dress reform and
physical culture, and as head of the
Emily Bishop league for physical cul-
ture she has gathered an enthusiastic
class about her. She attends all the
gatherings of the league, and is usual
~ its principal speaker and moving
spirit. But Mrs. La Toilette is re-
markable for other reasons. She is one
of the few women of the state admit

to it's prolific yield, superior keeping
qualities, ease of propagation, and
agreeable flavor. 1t was introduced
into this country at the time of
Raleigh's voyages to Virginia, and has
steadily increased in popularity ever
since.
every school child is aware that po-
tatoes are classed a starch foods, and
that their bulk is made up largely of
water. -. It is chiefly on account
of the starch content that potatoes are
eaten, and while they are apparently
not economical foods, owing to the
large proportion of water which they
contain, this is not actually the case.
In other foods, as for instance, rice,
there is four times as much nourish-
ment as in an equal weight of potatoes,
but then water or milk is added to the
rice in preparing it for the table, so
that when ready to be eaten it very
much resembles potatoes in the as
similable proportion, bulk for bulk.
Equal weights of the two foods do not
cost as much in each case.
Being chiefly starch, the potato is
valua BILE as a source of muscular ener-
gy and does not serve to build or re-
pair the body tissue, except in a very
small degree. This explains why po-
tatoes are generally served with foods
rich in tissue-making properties, such
as meats, and why it is that large num-
bers of the country population of Ire
land and Germany are SO poorly nour-
ished. Potatoes alone are very one
sided diet.
''The accompanying table shows at
a glance how the potato is proper
toned as regards its food value:
water Per e e t
Starch, or energy producing material .1S &
Nitrogens, or tissue-producing mate

Mineral matter. chiefly potash salts. 90
''It is often asserted that the potato
is unwhoIesome, but there is no scien-
tifc basis for it. Eaten alone potatoes,
of course, would form very badly
balanced diet. As a matter of fact it's
universal popularity and consumption
are evident from the statistics above
quoted, that it forms nearly IA per
cent. of the total food of the people of
this country, furnishing about four
per cent. of the total proteins, or nitro
genous foods, and nearly ten per cent.
of the total carbohydrates or starches.
ga 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 contain an
undue amount of solanin, or poisonous
substance. Numerous cases of poison
ing are on record resulting from this
cause"

Harmony in Color schemes.

Women would do well to give much
thought to color harmony and circum-
stances rather than style when choos-
ing house furnishings. Upon the har-
monious blending of wall and floor
covering, together with the woodwork,
depends much of the success of the
room; yet some woman, hearing that
red walls "are the STYLE" and seeing
how effective soft shade of it is with
the pure black Flemish oak, straight
way has it put on her walls to COM
bine with yellow oak. How much bet
ter a gobelin blue sburlap or cartridge
paper would be- Then, too, often the
mistake is made of having everything
of one color to match, thereby causing
monotony. Artistic decorators advo-
cate old rose in rugs and hangings as
a relieving contrasting bit to gobelin
blue walls and yellow oak woodwork

The Home and Happiness.

The diffusion of happiness is one of
the great primal laws of possessing
happiness ourselves. The home is
founded on this idea, and if it is not
recognized the home is not an ideal
one. The unity of the home depends
upon the unselfshness of every mem
Der, and the acceptance of the idea
that each will try to make the others
happy. In so doing we promote the
happiness of ourselves through the in
direct method which to-day is accept
ed as the moral law of human love and
sympathy. In a broader sense this
altruism should prevail in society and
public life, but it must first be cuIti-
waited in the home. Unless it finds
nourishment and encoura cement
there it can never permeate the great
mass of humanity around.-N. Y.

Natural Affection Not Universal.

Natural affection is by no means tn
possession of everybody. Not every
mother loves her child, and NOT ever.f
child loves its mother. Sin is in thu
world, and the effects of sin are to bg
seen on every side. Everybody ought
to have natural election Every moth
er ought to love her child, and everT
child ought to love its mother. On this
account, therefore. every child of God,
and every man of God, ought to strive
to cultivate and develop natural at
lection, and more than natural af-
lection, in the young and the old. 1t
will never do for us to act on the false
supposition that natural affection is
already universaL@S. S. Times.

apple blossoms, each on separate
stalks,-were seen growing in the cen

ChIIdren,a Social Liberties:

The social liberties of the Ameri-
can child are one of the evils of this
country. Children's dances and chill
dren's parties, once given in the after
noon, have intruded into the evening
and are sending thousands of our
children to their beds in state of
excitement which means no good for
their future. 1t stands to reason
that no child can, with his or her I'M
formed strength, burn the candle at
both ends.-Ladies' Home Journal.

GAMBLING" SAID HE, us WORSE
THAN STEALING"

The hymn books had reached the
rear now, and she was handing them
along the row of young men. The
man at the end offered to take
number and pass them along, but
some way she missed his thought,
reached past him and handed one
herself to Silver Sly. AS he took it
her hand touched his, he looked up
and their eyes neither soft blue
eyes, and his piercing dark ones.
Next instant she was back at the
organ, and the little church was re-
verberating with thes trident meas
ures of ''The Ninety and Nine.'' Sly's
glance falling upon the fly leaf of the
hymn book in his hand, he read, in
gentle handwriting: Elizabeth
Eleanor SWING Eleanor" he re-
peated, under his Observation-Disclosures
Swing-that fits.'' He looked from
the signature to the girl at the organ
and back again, and then forth and
back again. His head swan. His
whole being seemed uplifted and
afioat upon a far-off sea of possibili-
ties. At the conclusion of the sing
ing he sat down as one who moves in
a dream. He held the hymn book
open at the fly leaf, and, resting the
printed card under the name written
there, feverishly signed his own in
full-Silver Thornton Sly.
The fat preacher collected the
cards. AS he came opposite the row
of young men and took theirs, all but
one of them still blank, there was a
perceptible stir, turning of heads and
whiSperinp in the seats neara bout.
The minister returned forward with
distinct look of content; arriving
quite close to his coworkers, he an
swered the mute inquiry of their
faces with nod and a smile.

allowed to be continually eating
