While for technical purposes,
that is, for sizing, etc, potato
starch is preferred to that of
maize, for edible purposes prac-
tically the only starch used in the
United States is the maize pro-
duct. There is so little differ
ence in price that there is not
much choice. The maize starch
is slightly lower in price than the
potato
Tapioca is another form of
starch, which is somewhat higher
in price and which is preferred to
the maize and potato products by
reason of its greater palatability.
1t is made chiefly from cassava.
Among the, foods which con-
tain large quantities of sugar and
starch must. be mentioned the
cereals. Wheat, rye, oats and in
dian corn are largely composed
of starch. From 90 to 20 per cent
of their weight is starch. Pota-
toes on the other hand, are almost
exclusively formed of starch,
aside from their watery content.
Among the cereals rice is pre-
dominantly starch, containing
from 10 to 20 per cent more
starch than the other common
cereals. A starchy diet, there
fore, would be one composed
chiefly of potatoes, rice, indian
corn and other cereals. ~

elements of nutrition. We are
constantly eating starch and
sugar and fat and oil without
realizing that~fact at all.
Starch and sugar and oil are
prepared. in practically a pure
state for consumption. There is
little choice in regard to sugar in
aSmuch as that made from cane
has practically the same price as
that made from beets. One fact,
however, should not be forgotten,
namely, that beet sugar is not
suitable for consumption unless
it is refined to the highest de-
gree. The impurities in beet
sugar are extremely unpalatable
and render the crude sugar in
edible. On the contrary the i'm
purities in the cane sugar are ex-
tremely Palatable and to many
tastes the unrefned cane sugar is
greatly preferred to the refined
article.
For edible purposes, therefore,
although the unre6ned beet
sugar may be cheaper than the
unrehned cane sugar, it would
not be eaten. Beet sugar forms
a little over half of the total
sugar of commerce, and is sold al
most exclusively in a refined
state. There is, therefore, little
choice in price between refined
beet and cane. sugar. On the
other hand maple sugar sold ex-
clusively in the crude state is
more costly. Honey is also usual
ly-dearer than cane or beet sugar.

forthcoming report, discusses the mer'

Blake recommends that the legisla.

Among other recommendations are:
"The enactment OF law limiting
the amount Of commission which an

THAT commission be created by

TESTING ELWELL ROAD LAW
Arguments Were Made Before the
Supreme Court Yesterday.


Supreme Court Yesterday.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The test suit against the Elwell
road law, passed at the last session
of the state legislature, was argued
before the state supreme court yes
terday, on an appeal from an order
by Judge Lewis of the Ramsey coun-
ty district court, March II, 1912,
sustaining the demurrers of the de-
PENDANTS. The arguments for the
state were made by Assistant Attor-
ney General Stevens, with Attorney
Thomas McDermott for the appel
liant
The main dispute is whether ru-
raj road shall be built on money
raised by general taxation or wheth-
er adjoining property should be as
sessed one-fourth. Under the FL
well law, bonds may be issued for
road work, payable in ten annual in
stallmcnts, the state to pay one-half
the cost, the county onefourth and
the. benefited property the other
fourth. The supporters of the law
claim a rural road is just as much
a local improvement as city street
or a drainage ditch.
