We should not like to choose between
the two, since they are properly COM
Elementary foods rather than compet-
tive; that is, it is best to have some
of both. If one had to choose between
the two he would doubtless choose
with reference to individual taste,
some people taking one, others the
other. An average analysis of the edi-
bic portion of the potato would be
about this: Water, 1873 per cent; pro-
tein, 2.2 per cent; fat, 0.1 per cent: car
bohydrates, 1874 per cent; ash, 10 per
cent. Meat varies very greatly in COM
position with the animal or the part
Of the animal. An analysis Of round
stake would give you something like
this: Water, 67.8; protein, 20.9; fat,
1916; ash, IL.

We do not know the nationality of
can records only.
Please print Eugene Wares poem,
the Kansas .Dugout
Stuck in a Kansas hillside far away,
Is a cabin made of sod, and built to
stay,
Through the window-Iike embrasure
Pours the mingled gold and azure
or the morning of gorgeous Kansas
day
Round the cabin. clumps of roses, here
with their wild and welcome fragrance
fill the air:
Ard the love Of heaven settles
On their pensive pink-lined petals,
As the angels come and put them in
their hair.
Blue eyed children round the cabin chase
the day;
They are learning life's best lesson
how to stay.
To be tireless and resistful;
And the antelope look wistful,
And they want To join the children in
their play.
Fortune wrecked. the parents sought the
open West
Leaving happy homes and friends they
loved the best,
Homes In cities bright aud busy
That responded to the dizzy
To the twirlug and tumultuous unrest
OFT n happens unto families and men
That thev need must touch the mother
earth again.
Rising. rugged and reliant
tike Antaeus, the Old giant
Then they dare to do great things, and
not til then
As around his neck the arm of child
teu twines
