graduated the Britishers for their
work in Africa for their empire and
civilization" He said every savage
country had benefited by white oc-
cupation and that the Englishmen
were doing the right thing in Egypt.
Further he said. "You have given
Egypt the best government in Gthous-
and years. yet you have made one
mistake. 1t is necessary to remem-
Der that weakness and timidity are
alike and more harmful to uncivilized
people than violence and injustice.
You treated the pan-Egyptian move
ment and religious struggles fairly.
Instead of acknowledging this action,
the natives took advantage to start an
anti-foreign movement. Some ma
ton must govern Egypt and 1 hope
you will decide it is your duty"

Poor Potatoes Gets a Knockout

+ For many generations we have been
wont to look upon the Irish potato as
one of the most faithful standbys of
humanity. It multiplies and grows
when other vegetables fail; it appears
on the highest as well as the humblest
table, both in winter and summer: it
fed the inhabitants of Old Irelatnd
during the time of famine, and in these
days of high prices when famine
threatens US. it still remains within
reach of the poor mans pocketbook
1t has been said that if only one potato
were left in the world it would be bet
ter for humanity and for generations
yet unborn, to let London, Paris, New
York and San Francisco be destroy
ed, and all the islands sink into the
sea, rather than lose that one potato.
It's seed would be such boon to hu-
manly that the loss Of the last potato
would be worldwide calamity. Now
comes a London specialist in dietetics
who biames the faithful and demo-
tcratic potato with many of the ills
that make life miserable, but we can
only believe he is tool of the beef
trust, because potatoes have come to
the rescue of the meat boycott. This
scientist. an Englishman. says: "My
advice is to cut potatoes right out of
| the diet. Person who wish to be
healthy in body and sunny and later in
mind, esecially those leading seden-
tary lives, never should eat potatoes.
They cause what is known as starch
Indigestion. They contain about 95 per
cent of water, and they have been as
simulated the result is very little nu-
triment, and that after big tax on
/ the, ailmentary system by reason of
the difficulty the digestive fluids en-
counter in breaking down the tough
: cellulose walls in which the starch
grains are enveloped. The effort,
therefore. Of continually eating pota-
toes is chronic dyspepsia, resulting in
wear and tear on the system generally.
Nervous worry and depressions are the
sure result which shortens life.''
