What's a Good Potato?

Most people, 1 suppose. take it for
granted that the best potatoes are the
ones that contain the most starch. says
a writer in the April Garden Magazine.
On the contrary. it is the ones that
contain the most gluten, because glu-
ten is an albuminous food. and starch
is much cheaper than albumen.
Now cut potato open and we shall
learn something worth knowing about
this gluten
First, comes the skin of the potato.
In a new potato IT is thin and clear.
while corky skin indicates a mature
potato, and one more likely to be
mealy.
Second, is a thin layer varying from
an eighth of an inch to half an inch
in thickness. This is the gluten.
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 tu-
Der, which contains little starch and a
great deal of water. If this area
branches out into the starch the potato
will not be a good cooker.

RICH MEMS
INSURANCE

NJ EN- with large insurance former
MI ly scattered it among many
~ companies, says the April
Worlds Work John Wanamaker. for
example. has s1.5OO.OOO insurance In
eighty-f1ve policies. For long time
he carried the largest insurance in the
United States. During the past ten
years, however, very rich men have
taken out large single policies
The first s1.O00.O00 policy ever issued
was taken out in 1897 by George W.
Vanderbilt, at the age of 35, in the Mu-
tual. 1t is a twenty payment hIe'
twenty-year distribution policy; that
is, he is to pay a yearly premium OF
$4,000 for twenty years AT the emu
of this time he will receive paid-up
policy of s1,O00, 900 and cash divl-
dend If the policy had been taken out
twenty years ago, at the same age ne
would have paid by this time the sum
of s700. 600 in premiums, which at per
cent compound interest would amount
to nearly s1,0S5,000.
The most heavily insured man In the
world, however, is probably L. Rodman
Wanamaker of Philadelphia, VINO car
ries $4,000, 900 in the Mutual in ADDITION
to insurance in other companies MT.
Wanamaker first took out his insurance
in the Mutual, amounting to $2OV,ooO'
at the age of "a. At So he increased IL
by two additional policies of SlOO,o0O
and 100000 Five years later, at A.
he took two additional policies, one OF
$1,000, 900 and the other of s20O,OoO.
This makes his total insurance in the
company 100000 on which he pays a
yearly premium of s63.226.
The Wanamaker family in Philadel-
phia carries a total of $3.S55, 900 in life
insurance, probably more than any
other in the world.
The large policies. of course, cost no
more proportionately than smaller ones
Straight life insurance of $1,000 at the
age of 80 costs $40 year. For the
same man a 100000 policy of the same
kind would cost just 500 times as much
The largest single premium ever paid
was $66,023.2S by a man in Los Ange-
les 1t was for an income policy or an
nuity in the Mutual. 1t provided a life
income for himself and at his death life
incomes for his children and his six
grandchildren.
But all rich men do not carry life In
ample, does not believe in it. and does
not carry a single policy. The same is
true of John d. Rockefeller.
