The historic potato has a rival tn
the dasheen, described by the bureau
of plant industr: at Washington as "a
new root crop for the south" Like
the potato. the dasheen has its habi-
tat in South America, but Is related
to the Hawaiian taro and the half-wild
tanier Of the southern states. The
cooked tubers are more nourishing
than the potato, tasting slightly like
boiled chestnuts- Their edible quail

GUAGER FOR BREWERY.

The Treasury Department is expect
ed 10 announce in Il few days the ap-
pcirtment of a guagcr to be stationed
ut the Robert Portner Brewery. Il
has not yet been decided whether 4
qua ger is to be stationed at the brew
cry permanently or only The occa-
sions when the storage watts are filled
which depends on amount Of bottling
done daily.
The extensive improvements that
have been made at the brewery recent
ly. which includes the installation of
eight large storage watts in the new
bottling department with total ca
oacity Of over 5000 gallons Of beer,
has made it necessary 20 have a qua
ger stationed there. Each vat IS
equipped with a government lock
which preven;s the filing Of the watts
with beer except under the direction
of the guager, who must be present
when beer is placed III storage OF
drawn from the watts for bottling.
Formerly all beer bottiing was 'aken
direct from the stamped barrels. In
the new bottlng works the bottIln@
machines connect direct with he
large steel watts and the duty Of the
government guager will be to measure
the beer that is bottled and protect the
government on the revenue.
Capt. +. Bca'ttie, deputy collector OF
internal revenue, is making tests OF
the new watts and establishing me qua
ges and will probably recommend
some one as guacer in a few days.
