National Chamber of Commerce

There are three great elements in
our national life which have much to
do with it's future development-com
merce, labor and agriculture. There
are more than 10000 of union work
ers engaged in the industries of our
country, and they are a cohesive body.
From their local groups to their state
and their national organizations, they
speak with a common voice of those
things which they desire as being ben
eficial to labor 1t is equally true of
the agricultural interests. They are
formed likewise into their local and
up to their national groups until they
also have a voice which, both in our
state legislatures and in the national
congress, is heard and obeyed, be-
cause of the cohesive force that these
elemets have brought into our ma
tional life.
In the past ten years chambers of
commerce and boards of trade have
been formed in cities large and small
over the length and bredth of this
land, yet they have never operated ex-
cept as Independent units. Here and
there they have recently gathered
themselves together in state organiza-
tons, but for the most part these or
CARNATIONS, speaking to their state
legislatures or to the national con-
gress, have been able to speak with
the individual voice of a section or
community or a single business in
terest. Is there any wonder that leg
islation has been enacted helpful to
labor and to agriculture, while the
commercial interests, organized as in
dividual units, have been almost dis
regarded?

Font of Youth-the Potato.

Prof. Ellie Metchnikoff, of Paris
apotheosized buttermilk as the font of

garia. DR.. ]. H. kellogg, famous or
iginator of breakfast foods and health
regimens, apotheosizes the potato as
the true enemy of old age and points
to Ireland says Park & Tilford Quar-
terly.
A prejudice against starchy foods
has caused science to disparage the
potato unjustly, according to DR.. Kel-
logg, who insists that the popular
prediction for the vegetable is a
trustworthy index of it's merit. The
starch of the potato has much greater
dietary value than the starch of &C.
reals or arrowroot, he says, being
more easily digested. That the pota-
to is not perfect food owing to it's.
fat unit deficiency is conceded; never
theless it's qualities as an old age pre-
ventive are established by reasoning
as follows:
1t contains just below the skin a
greater percentage of certain alkaline
salts than any other vegetable used
as food by civilized folk. These salts
check tendencies toward lowered al
kalinity of the blood caused by meats
Lowered alkalinity is the chief cause
of govt, rheumatism, Bright's disease,
and especially that hardening of the
arteries which is old ages distinctive
sign. "The proportion Of centen-
arians in Ireland is more than ten
times as great as that Of England"
says the doctor. "There can be no
doubt that the free use of potatoes
by the Irish is in large measure re-
sponsible for the remarkable longev-
ity of this nation"

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens on Long Island. near

French. a relative of Ethan French,
manufacturer of the celebrated "Mer-
curry automobile. loses her way. The
car has stopped and her cousin, Dick
French, Is too muddled with drink to
direct 1t Alright. They meet another car
which Is run by professional racer
named Lestrange. The latter fixes up
how to proceed roc sia bomewa mts Ethan
Ffrench has disinherited his son, who
has disappeared. He informs Emily
plainly that he would like to have her
marry Dick. who is a good-natured but
irresponsible fellow. 1t appears that a
partner of Ethan Ffrench wanting an ex-
pert to race with the Mercury" at auto
events, has engeged Lestrange. and at
tho French factory Emily encounters the
young man. They refer pleasantly 10
their meeting when Dick comes along and
recognizes the young racer. Dick likes
the way Lestrange ignores their frst
meeting when he appeared to disad-
vantage.
