1t is somewhat difficult to tell, from
the appearance of the potato, which
will prove the best cookers. This de-
ponds mainly on the percentage of
starch. The percentage of starch in
the potato can be readily determined
by making test. Recently Professor
R. W. Thatcher, director of the Elk
pertinent Station, tested the varieties
grown on the Western Washington
Experiment Station. The following

Remember that farming more
acres to produce larger crops
means more fencing, more seed,
more labor, more wages and more
wear on machinery. Take the
short cut to larger crops by in
vesting in the machine that will
double the yield of the land you
are now farming.

GOLD FOUND IN OLD BRICKS.
Treasure for the Men
Who Know.

There are many remarkable towns in
Mexico, but none more interesting
than Guanajuato THE Hill of the
Frog" 1t might more properly be
called the gold brick town." for the
houses have been found to contain
much gold.
This is a curious situation. but II
came about naturally. Guanajuato-
pronounced Wah-nah-w ahto--is one OF
the oldest mining towns in Mexico;
but the value of the place as town
was discovered when railroad COM
pany decided TO build a station there.
II was found necessary to tear down
about 300 adobe buildings. which were
made OF the refuse of various mines
after the ore was extracted.
When 1t became known that the old
adobe buildings would be torn down
pieces taken at random were assayed.
II was found that because of the old
process, which lost much gold and sill
yer, they assayed from 50 TO s24 ton.
The mean value was estimated TO run
about eight dollars gold a ton.
The old buildings have brought about
$4,000 Mexican in gold. and persons
who have built since the new ma
chinery has been installed in the mines
are bemoaning the fact that the new
houses do not contain as much gold as
the old.-Sclentiic American.

is annually commemorated by play,

For the ferocious Tilly captured
Rothenburg, and, enraged by his
losses, declared that the town should
be destroyed, the leading inhabitants
slain. and the rest turned over to the
soldiery. But women and children
walled lamentably as he rode to the
rathhaus, and clung to his stirrup
imploring mercy. And he flung them
mercy with contempt. Let the dogs
live" He said: 81 will be merciful.
None but the burgomaster and all
the counselors of the town shall die "
He went into the great room of the
rathhaus and called for wine and a
frightened girl carried in huge and
trimming goblet-a goblet so huge
that he burst into q great laugh.
Am to drink this?" he said holding
1t up. And the grim humor seized
him. 1T any man of Rothenburg
will drink this at a single draught
will spare the city and spare every
life,"
There was great silence. and then
former burgomaster, a certain Nusch
his name is worthy of remem-
brance-stepped intrepidly forward
and. took the goblet from Tilly's hand.
He drank. and ke silence deepened
as the foot of the goblet slowly rose
in the air; he drank and drank till
every drop was drained. Then he fell
senseless to the floor
Revive him!" said lilly; and
Nusch came slowly back to life.

Confirming the recent statement
of DR.. William Osler. that the anti
tuberculosis campaign is. 40 longer
a battle for the doctors only, the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis is
sues a statement, in which it is
shown that over As per cent of those
enlisted in the White Plague War
are laymen.
The National Associations mem
bership, consisting Of nearly $500
and representing every State in the
Union. is composed of 54.6 per cent
doctors and ass per cent laymen.
In the local and State associations,
however, throughout the country, the
percentage Of laymen averages con-
siderably over so per cent The
National Association declares that
this fact is peculiarly significant, as
indicating the great popularity of the
anti-tuberculosis movement.
twenty-five years ago. when the
campaign against tuberculosis was
started in this country by Or. Ed
ward L. Trudeau, even the doctors
laughed at the movement Gradual
ly the medical profession realized
the possibilities of an organized fight
against tuberculosis, and in 1904,
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of Tuberculo-
sis was formed by the American Med
ical Association. At that time the
percentage Of laymen in the Asso-
citation was only 1919. and very few
persons were interested in the CAM
paign against this disease.
Today. according to recent figures
published by the National Associa-
tfon, churches, schools, labor unions.
women's clubs, faternaI organiza-
tfons, and State legislatures. inter-
esting fully 100000 people. are all
allied in the campaign against tuber-
culosis. and in addition to these, lay
men Of all classes of society. and in
every branch Of social and Industrial
life, are uniting against this one
common foe.
Every day sees hundreds Of new
recruits in the war. and every day
brings new methods for the fighting
Of the plague. The National A:ssocia-
tion predicts that if the present de-
gree Of interest is maintained. with
in five years everybody in the Unit
ed States will have been informed
on the way to prevent and cure tu-
berculosls, and concerning the infec-
tious nature of the disease Two
things in particular are needed. and
for these the National Association is
working in every way. They are,
a more complete registration Of tu-
berculosts cases, and the further iso-
lation sof dangerous advanced cases

"When about two and half years

was little red surface end a constant

She could not sleep and the eruptions

them. I had two doctors treat her, but
she grew worse under their treatment.
Then 1 bought the Cuticura Soap, Cuti-

was entirely well. This was in Febru-
