signed to take the place Of the Dilling-

President Taft, including the literacy test
and others not in the previous measure.
Besides a paragraph designed to exclude
Asiatics, including Chinese, Hindoos, and
Japanese, 1t is also aimed at militant suf-
fragists, members of the l. w. W. or
ganization, and anarchists. These classes
are covered under the phrase advocates

euage of the bill affecting the admission
Of her citizens to the United States.

SCIENTISTS Find
RIVAL TO POTATO
Agricultural Experts Suggest
Recipes for Cooking
Dasheens.
ORIGINALLY FROM CHINA
Plant Is Being Grown Successfully in
Southern Substantially
Unknown IN North.

/ II the housewife can obtain dasheens
she may make from this recently intro
duced vegetable a delicious stuffing for
her Christmas turkey. Incidentally, she
may bake them like potatoes and OBJ
tain a dish possessing something OF the
flavor of a boiled chestnut: she may
make them into q pie similar to the
sweet potato pie. Dasheens are also
good boiled, roasted, fried as fritters,
or used as a salad. Dasheen flour will
make biscuits, mullins, and griddle
cakes, possessing superior flavor.
The dasheen, which has been recently
introduced here by the Department Of
Agriculture, is the root of a plant which
resembles that known familiarly as the
elephants ear" but the roots of the or
binary elephants ear are not dasheens.
The vegetable looks like an understood
cocoanut-
The dasheen originally came from
China It has already been grown sue
cessfuIly in our South. AS yet not
enough people have become interested
in it to justify dealers in putting 1t on
the market.
However, il the housewife is fortunate
enough to be where dasheens have been
successfully grown, she may make this
"stufing' for her Christmas fowl, which
is suggested by government experts OF the
department: Two parts OF riced dasheen,
enc part of bread, one egg, butter, &C
cording to quantity of above, season to
taste with salt. pepper, sage, and onion.
The dasheens should be boiled and riced
in the same way as are potatoes.
Frost Ia Fatal.
The fact that the dasheen has been ex-
tensiyely written I'D as a substitute for
the potato has led to a number OF In
uuiries from foreign countries regarding
its value.
The department has been forced to
reply to the inquiries from central and
northern European countries that the
dasheen cannot be grown .succrssfully
where the summers are not tropical Con-
trary to the belief of many, the United
States is a country of tropical summers,
and the dasheen has been grown success
fully as far north as Norfolk. Va
From the Carolinas southwark the
dasheen may be cultivated with high
DEGREE of success in any rich, sandy
loan or soil, where there is plenty OF
moisture and heat.
Foreigners Want Seeds.
Basheens may be baked like potatoes.
in a quick oven. They first should be
washed. When practicable to do so, II
is often desirable to scrape the dasheens
before baking. as they are then more
convenient for eating and the soft crust
which forms when they are properly
baked is particularly delicious. The
time required is about the same as for
potatoes of the same size. They should
be served hot.
American commercial growers have not
as yet taken up the dasheen, although
foreign legations are asking the de-
partment for its seeds and roots. 1t is
the opinion of experts Of the office OF
foreign seed and plant introduction that
the welI-estabhshed dealer who featured
the dasheen could undoubtedly build up
a paying trade in a short time.

Capital are arranging for evening service
Just before Christmas. but in no instance

of the stores be open more than six
nights before Christmas, and the most of
