Potatoes Are a Food of Very Great Importance
They Constitute More Than Thirteen Per
 Cent. of the Total Food of This Country

THE potato, called in different
 regions white potato, Irish po-
 tato, English potato, or round potato, was first introduced into Flu rope between 1880 and 1885 by the English about the time of Raleigh's voyages to Virginia. It is commonly believed to be native of Chilli. Wild potato plants. closely resembling those cultivated to-day are still found there, though it is fact worthy of mention that, as the potato has been modified by cultivation, it has largely lost the power of producing seeds, and the cultivated potato diff fers from the wild in seldom pro- ducing seed-bearing fruits. When first visited by Europeans, the aborig- ines in Chilli and adjacent regions cul- tivated the potato for it's edible tu- bers and had apparently long done so. It was probably introduced into the United States, especially into Vir- ginia and North Carolina, toward the end of the sixteenth century. It is not surprising that the new food stuff should have grown rapidly into popular favor when we remember it's prolific yield, superior keeping quail ties, ease of propagation and agree able favor.
 The valuable qualities of the pota- to were speedily recognized, and there are early records of attempts to determine it's food value by means of chemical analyses. In 1795 Pear son reported Experiments and ob-

Lay on a fiat pan and place in quick oven until crisp and lightly Drowned. Remove the toothpicks and serve hot, piled on a plate over which is laid a folded napkin.

How to Prepare These Aromatic Kitchen en-sAdjuncts.
 The difference between palatable and unpalatable food is often enough a mere question of seasonings. Nor is the barrenness of the market or of the garden an excuse for favorless food. When mint, for instance. is plentiful, few cents will buy quantity of the fresh green leaves. Put them in a glass preserving jar and fill up the jar with good cider vinegar. The mint market may then rise or fall without cutting short your supply.
 Few people who enjoy salad of to- matoes know how vastly they are im- proved by the addition of a little thyme. This may be added in the form of the powdered leaves spread on the tomatoes and allowed to stand in the icebox for a few hours, or if fresh thyme leaves are to be obtained they may be thrown into a preserving bottle, covered with vinegar and allowed to stand for few weeks. After the aroma has been taken up by the vinegar it is best to strain it off. For the purpose of keeping the aromatic vinegar old beer bottles, the kind that have attached rubber tipped corks, are very good.
 It is now considered an accomplish ment either for a man or woman to be able to make good salad. The follow ing recipe will give a favored vinegar which will insure good salad on short notice, even in remote mountain camps. A quart of vinegar, one dozen tarragon leaves, half a lemon peel, three heads of garlic from which the skin has been removed, half green pepper. Let it stand for ten days and strain, using in heavy dressing in the proportion of three parts oil to one of vinegar. Equal parts of summer savory, thyme, sage and mint will give vinegar table spoonful of which be added to thicken- ed sauces to be used with roasts.

COMPOSITION OF THE POTATO.

layer, and flesh differ somewhat in composition, they all resemble more or less closely that of the whole tu- Der.
 The principal ways of cooking DO. tatoes are baking, boiling and fry ing, or some notifications of these processes. The objects sought are principally to soften the tissues and render them more susceptible to the action of the digestive juices and to improve the flavor. Just why cook ing changes the flavor as it does has apparently never been made the sub ject of investigation. In potatoes, as in other foods, the cooked starch is more agreeable to the taste than the raw. Possibly also there are volatile bodies of more or less pronounced flavor, which are removed or pro- duced by the heat of cooking. The physical condition of the potato is much affected by heat. In the raw potato the separate starch grains are inclosed in cells with walls composed of crude fiber, material resistant to digestive juices. If potatoes were eaten raw, the digestive juices would not reach the starch as easily unless the cell walls happened to be rup- tured mechanically, as in mastication. Heat, however, expands the water present, ruptures the cells and breaks up the starch, expanding the gran ules, which, when raw, consist of tightly packed concentric layers, to mass of much less solid structure.
 Tn considering the nutritive value of any food, the digestibility must be taken into account, for it is what the body can absorb from any given ma aerial as it passes through the diges-

tive tract, rather than chemical com position, which determines food value. The digestibility of potatoes has been frequently studied. Some years ago Rubner kept a Bavarian soldier who was used to eating large quantities of potatoes on a potato diet for two days. The potatoes were boiled and eaten with salt or with vinegar and oil as a salad. The car bohydrates, the principal nutritive material in the potatoes, were quite thoroughly assimilated. As is usu
 ally the case, the digestibility was de- termined by deducting from the total nutrients present in the food the quantities excreted in the feces. The protein was not well digested. Simi- lar results were obtained by later German investigator, though in this case the protein was somewhat more thoroughly digested. In this experi- ment about three-fourths of the crude fiber present was found to be digestible. A number of experiments on the digestibility of potatoes were also made in St. Petersburg by a Rus sian investigator with three healthy men. Each test was divided into two periods. In one a simple mixed ra- tion was eaten; in the other the food consisted of cooked potatoes only baked, boiled or fried in oil. It was found that 93 per cent. of the total dry matter (which in the potato con- sists largely of starch) was digesti- ble; of the total nitrogen present, 59 per cent: and of the albumin old ni-
