The Crime OF Waste

From the Waste is tn g
crime of today and it is especially the
great crime of this auful war; waste in
human life, in hope, in love, and in the
common savings Of US all Millions OF
dollars worth Of the savings Of the
people OF this earth, ali OF them our
brothers and sisters, are daily burned
up, exploded, and wasted in the mad
ness Of the nations; and even that is
trihe when we compare 1t to the great
human value of the lives that are lost.
1t will not make any people rich; and
we Americans rarely fortunate in not
being involved in the awful strife,
SD all find our part of the burden 10
bear. Some time the war will be over
and then waste must stop: 1t must stop
If we are To advance IN AHuanity and
civilization over and beyond the yawn.
ing gap made by the lust OF blood, pride
Of race, and the vanity of kings. The
war has been in progress but a little
while and already the cost OF it is be-
ing borrowed from future generations;
extra hard labor and sweat must come
from infants now at their mothers
breasts, to make good this debauch Of
blood and fire. And in the very meas
ure that we waste is the sentence at
hard labor upon the rising generation
prolonged. We cannot get out of it by
being Americans; the debt is upon US,
in unequal measure it is true, but the
debt, the obligation TO make up the
losses, is upon US all.

Potatoes Make a Good
Substitute for Bread

IF wheat remains at its present high
1 figure or continues to rise in price
and If there Is a corresponding in
crease in the price of bread, scien-
fists in the United States Department
of Agriculture suggest that the ordi-
nary household will find It advantage
GUS to eat more potatoes and less
bread.
With potatoes at 60 cents a bushel,
10 cents worth-or 10 pounds-will
give the consumer little more actual
nourishment than two one-pound
loaves of bread at cents each. The
protein and fat are present in appre-
ciably larger amounts in the bread,
but the potatoes will be found to fur
nish more carbohydrates, and more
heat units.
Carbohydrates (starch) contribute
greatly to the energy value of any
diet and since potatoes are rich in
these, families that wish to expend
their money to the best advantage
are recommended to consider wheth-
er they cannot make more extended
use of them. They are easy to cook
and when prepared in different ways
! can be made to lend variety to the
I Winter diet when green vegetables
are hard to obtain.
Like other foods relatively rich in
carbohydrates, however, p t a S
should be eaten with foods CORE
spondingly rich In protein, such as
milk, meat, eggs, etc., and with foods
like butter, cream and meat fat to
supply the fat that the body needs.
Under normal conditions in Europe
and America the potato ranks next
to bread as a carbohydrate food. II
prices change sufficiently to make ii
desirable from a financial point OF
view there is no scientific reason why
potatoes should not be substituted to
great extent for bread.
In addition the potato like many
fruits and vegetables, helps to neu-
tralize an acid condition in the body.
This is another reason for its being
eaten in combination with meat, fish
and other animal foods.

Pack "Spuds" for South
America With DIE Care

NEW markets in South America
~ opened by the war to potato
growers in this country are being en-
dangered by lack Of care in packing
and shipping, according to reports re-
ceived by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Before the war
South America was supplied with It's
potatoes, In great measure at least,
from Europe, and these orders have
now been diverted to this country.
Federal inspectors stationed In
New York who have inspected pota-
toes offered for shipment to see that
they complied with the requirements
of the importing countries, report,
however, that because of the long
voyage and the high temperatures en-
countered in the tropics, certain ship
ments from New York to Brazil and
Uruguay have arrived in bad condi-
tion. Some of these potatoes we're
found to have been attacked by fungi
causing soft rot, and others which
appeared perfectly sound externally
were black in the center.
To obviate this difficulty, shippers
are urged to take few simple pre-
cautions. In sorting and packing po-
