Hunt, of Cleveland, Ohio. who is at the
Raleigh
The potato is the cause of many Of
the Ills froal which humanity suffers
said DR.. Hunt and It is a foe alike to
long life and good temper My advice
Is to cut potatoes right out of the diet
Persons who wish to be healthy In body
and sunny and alert in mind. especially
those leading sedentary lives should
never eat potatoes. They cause what Is
known as starch Indigestion
They contain about s. per cent Of wa
ter, and when they have been assimilated
the result is very little OF nutriment. and
that after great tax on the aumentary
system by reason OF the difficulty the di-
gestive fluids encounter in breaking
through The tough cellulose walls in
which the starch grains are enveloped.
The effect, therefore Of continually eat
ing potatoes is chronic dyspepsia, result
ing in wear and tear on the system gen.
orally. Nervous worry and depression are
the sure result, which shOrtens life
1T is curious thing that potatoes are
much more indigestible than any other
starch food. They are, as / see it, far
more valuable for making motor spirit
than for food, so why put them 10 such
an unsuitable use as eating them? When
a man is i'll. generally the first thing the
doctor does is 10 stop his use Of potatoes,
and rightly so. for they Ige IN so much OF
his energy in the process OF digestion.
To repair the rayages made on the human
body by these tubers, carrots should be
eaten freely, for they win stimulate the
digestive process"

history. In India and Africa, IN North

her impress upon the peoples Of every

It is the largest and most highly or

epoch conspicuous for industrial and
commercial concentration Education in
a broad sense must always be a large
factor. In the course Of railroad de-
velopment there was a first era. which
was the era Of railroad building. There
was. next an era of coordination OF the
railroad service and finance TO the COM
mercial and financial conditions as a
