vanced as an apology for the soul

evil that cannot bc eradicated and
therefore must be- tolerated That is
the argument Of the saloon Keeper. the

the bribed press il is also the argu-

ingenious mind at once grasped the
possibilities of the idea as applied to
potatoes, and last summer in his famous
garden he set to work to develop and
perfect a self-peeling potato. He has
continued his experiments indoors dur

now practically perfected.
The potato resembles the ordinary
product except that a ridge begins al
the point where the tuber is attached to
the vine and runs spirally to the Other
end. By loosening the skin at the point
of beginning it may readily be removed
by gentle pull, in long spiral, along
the line marked by the ridge.
That there will be a great demand fol
