Pessimism and Potatoes.

There was time when plain liv-
ing required as little definition as
high thinking still does. But, alas,
with the science of dietetics the trou-
bies of the poor layman have steadily
multiplied He hardly knows what to
eat or how.
Here is a London expert advising
him to cut out" potatoes from his diet
without regard to mercy. Potatoes,
the aforesaid. savant asserts, cause
chronic dyspepsia, depression, worry
and premature death; t. contain
no nutriment and overtax the digest
i've apparatus; the idea of eating them
is too absurd to be tolerated another
day.
Now. the potato has been a godsend
to millions in times of famine, and il
has figured prominently in all plans for
the simple life-compulsory or prefer
red. If, however, it is really the cause
of pessinism and nervousness-dis-
eases of the age, as they have been
called-we must put it on the index
of forbidden foods for the sake of the
joy of life. But are we not entitled to
ask for something like a unanimous
verdict of the specialist jury? How
about the perplexity and pessimism
caused by divided opinion on things
that so closely concern us as the po-
tato does ?-Chicag go Record Herald

To make such bag for prize at

Btih cardboard, dimensions IL by 7
Inches. with rounding ends. If the
board is heavy enough one piece will
answer. Generally two ovals are bet
ter. Cover first with cotton batting,
then with white satin, and overcast
the edges neatly together. Put under
weight to prevent warping.
The top is made from white chiffon
over a color. Three-quarters of a yard
of each color is required. Cut the
pieces across from selvage to selvage
and sew into the seams at each end
Put the colored chiffon underneath
and turn in the edge at the top to the
depth Of a quarter of an inch. Turn
the bottom up into a quarter inch hem
to give more body FOR the overcasting.
Sewage is placed to selvage. but the
chiffons are not sewed together.
Two inches from the top run an

yard lengths.
Overcast the bottom Of the bag to

different color. such as lavender and
white. yellow and white, green, pink,

Chiffon is used rather than chiffon
cloth. but the latter will probably
wear better. though not so fluffy. In
selecting the chiffon get a good quail
ty and make sure that both are the
same width. as it simplifies the joining
and let's the parts fall in more graceful
folds when drawn up.
