WHAT'S A GOOD POTATO?
Of Poor Quality When the Starch Is
Not Dense-When Center Is
Watery, Poor Cooker.

Most people, I suppose, take it for
granted that the best potatoes are
the ones that contain the most starch.
On the contrary, it is the ones that
contain the most gluten, because
gluten is an albuminous food and
starch is much cheaper than albu.
men.
First comes the skin of the potato.
In a now potato it is thin and clear;
while corky skin indicates a mature
potato, and one more likely to be
mealy.
Second is thin layer varying from
one-eighth of an inch to one-half an
inch in thickness. This is the glu-
ten.
Third comes the largest part of the
potato-the starch. If this is very
dense the potato will be mealy, but if
non-uniform the potato will be of poor
quality.
Fourth is the very center Of the
tuber, which contains little starch and
great deal of water If this area
branches out into the starch the DO
tato will not be a good cooker.-Gar-
den Magazine.

age plants these may be used:
Fuchsias, geraniums, petunias, cup

MAINE Is TIRED
OF PROHIBITION
THE PRESENT LAWS ENCOURAGE
THE IMPORTATION OF STRONG
DRINKS, WHILE BEER AND WINE
ARE LITTLE USED IN INTERIOR.

Washington, July 16.-(Special. Demo
cratic editors of newspapers in the state
of Maine take a very hopeful view of the
campaign in that state. They represent
the people as growing tired of prohibition,
which they declare means a market for
patent medicines containing copious guam
titles of alcohol, a home for blind tigers
and sending, of money away from the
state to other New England cities and to
Canada for jugs and bottles of whisky
One of the Maine editors commenting
upon the situation, says:
"a serious feature of prohibition in this
state is that II is making people sneaks
and evaders of the law and forcing those
who desire stimularts to resort to the
strongest and least pure of drinks. That
though, is the rule wherever prohibition
Is on the statutes books. The strong
drinks are admitted by freight and ex-
press while the light drinks, like beer
and wines, are excluded by reason of
their bulkiness. believe the time is
coming. judging from sentiment through
out the state, when the rural communities
will give their consent to such a change
in existing prohibition laws. as will ad-
NIT the sale of the light drinks and ex-
clude the strong ones.
II have heard many ministers recently
express the view that there would be far
less drunkenness. far less opposition to
law, II the mild drinks. like beer. could De
sold every where under careful conditions
and the strong ones kept out il possible.
BY this plan the strong drink could be
knocked out by the mild ones.
