crease in the price of bread, scientists
in the department suggests that the
ordinary household will find it advan-
tageous to eat more potatoes and less
bread. With potatoes at 60 cents a
bushel, 10 cents worth, or ten pounds.
will give the consumer little more
actual nOurishment than two l-pOund
loaves of bread at cents each. The
protein and fat are present in apprec-
iably larger amounts in the bread,
but the potatoes will be found to fur
nish more carbohydrates and more
heat units
Carbohydrates (starch) contributes
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 whether
they can not make a more extended
use of them. They are easy to cook
and when prepared in different ways
can be made to lend variety to the
winter diet when green vegetables are
hard to obtain. Like other foods rich
in carbohydrates, however, potatoes
should be eaten with foods correspond
ingly 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 carbohydrat food. If prices
change sufficiently to make it desirable
from financial point of view, there is
no scientific reason why potatoes
should not be substituted to a great
extent for bread. In addition, the
potato, like many fruits and vegetables
helps to neutralize an acid condition
in the body. This is another reason
for its being eaten in combination
with meat, fish, and other animal
foods.

Makers of pottery resent the re-
port on their industry recently made
public by Mr. Redfield. Some of
them even go so far as to character
ize it as "preposterous" and silly"
others suggest that it is a political
play, pure and simple" and intimate
that the only thing it proves is the
inefficiency of Mr.. Redfeld's own de-
partment of commerce.
At Trenton, where some of the
largest potteries in the country are

learned who owned ne stone and
where it had come i'm. The man
said he represented friend, We

firm. If he could not learn the
owners name he would not buy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman and talk the matter over
with her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr.. Nissen to the woman's
home. She lived in a handsome
apartment in one of the most fash
ionable quarters of the city. 1t
turned out that she was Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
In a nihilist movement. Of all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened

Perhaps you will wonder why we

The money would not last q year.
SO we part from them piecemeal.
