POTATOES FOR ALCOHOL.

The Department of Agriculture mas
sent agents to Europe to study the po-
tatoes grown there which are used for
manufacture into alcohol. This Is IN
anticipation of an increased demand Tor
alcohol owing to its free use in the
arts. 1t is said that they grow pota-
to there quite different from our table
tuber. and an acre of ground will pro-
duce 500 gallons of alcohol, which
would provide light. heat and power
for a farm household for one year. 1t
is also said that the potatoes are good
for stock feed after the alcohol has been
extracted, but we fear this is one of
the pleasant fictions, so many of which
have emanated of late from the Agri-
cultural Department. If the potato is
good for making alcohol there will be
nothing of it left for stock feed. The
food and alcohol value of a potato is
in the starch it contains. 1t is nothing
but starch and water, excepting a
trifiing amount of cellulose in the skin
and an equally small amount of gum,
glutin. etc, in the germs. A fresh po-
tato contains from II to so per cent of
water and from Is to 20 per cent of
starch The Germans make their alco-
hol from potatoes because they cannot
raise corn, but in this country corn will
always he the source of alcohol, since
more starch can be raised cheaper in
the shape of corn than in the shape of
potatoes. If the Department of Agri-
cultures agents bring us back some
good ideas about raising potatoes, their
mission will be profitable, but We have
little hopes that they will find anything
to substitute for corn for the produc-
tion of alcohol

Against the Prisoners-of-Nar Bill.

Henry S. Wells, 27th n. Y. and 4th
Mich, enters his protest against the
waste of space in advocating the Pris-
oners-of-War bill, but his protest is
quite ironical. He thinks the prisoners
of war were fed by the Confederate
Government, and then afterward the
Government allowed them ration money
for every day they were in prison, be-
side $3.50 monthly for clothing that
they did not wear. Uncle Sam needs
the money for SO many other purposes
such as building a post Office at ,Podunk
and making Dry Creek nayigable.

The validating Nuisance.

William A. Robinson. 29th Ohio,
Wellston. Mo-, strongly approves The
National Tribune's comments on the
validating nuisance, and also of what
was said by John Cashner, of Spearfish,
8. ID. The valuation of tickets should
be radically reformed, as it works a
hardship on many of the old veterans
and their wives. He recalls the terrible
scenes In Boston of which he was an
eyewitness, and thinks the National
Encampment should take some action
to abolish or at least mitigate the nuis-
ancD.

The manufacture of tantalum, one of

It is found that wetting greatly de-
creases the tensile strength of a grind
stone, and tends to weaken it when
subjected to the centrifugal pull of high
speed. stone which when dry had a
breaking strain of 146 pounds per
square inch broke when wet at so
pounds, and another stone which when
dry had breaking strain of 1S6 pounds
per square inch broke at 116 pounds

"Would You like to paralyze your
leucocytes?" is the way the great scien-
tist, Metchnil.off, would put the invita-
tion to take drink. Metchnikoff, who
knows more about the human body,
and particularly about the blood cells,
than any other man alive, says that the
leucocyte, or white blood cell, keeps us
ing from fatigue, exhaustion and other
pernicious causes. Alcohol in any form
paralyzes the leucocyte. and thereby
gives it's bacterial enemies the upper
hand.

aAs elLL SAYS .

The County Chairman last night
frequently quoted supposed words Of
Shakespeare, referring to them in the
terms, @As Bin Says" Well, "Blll'
wrote q play once on Much Ado
About Nothingg." We never read one
of Baby Makeshift's long wtnded, iou;
BILE column, black face stunts that we
don't think of Bits play. This morn,
ing he quoted about half the code rela'
tive to the brewing Of grand turies.
For the past week or twoshe has rant
ed and raved about the property books,
registration list and the Dog Tax
books. To-day he says:
"The most serious question OF all is,
that the county court guessed at the
levy. 1t was not made from the Ger.
tilted returns of the assessors books
as provided by law. This fact is prov,
en- by the absence Of the personal
property books"
For the beneftaof5peopIe who may
not know about these matters, 1t may
Fbe welTt6 state that never III the his
tory OF Marion county was a levy made
from the certified returns of the as
SCISSORS books" 1t is always made
on an estimated valuation. 1t can
not be otherwise. The books are not
certified and returned for filing until
the extensions are made and the eS,
tensions are based on the levy as fix
ed by the court. Thus our wise friend
is asking an imposslbility. ThusEthe
TImes.again exposes its l~ittleness and
dishonest tactics.
