Potato Flour Not
Much Used in U. S.

Much Used in Us it to hap prneues neues
been introduced, because our wheat
supply has been more than enough to
supply US with bread. Every country
is prone to use most lavishly of its
most abundant product. All starch
preparations in Germany are produced
from potatoes. because these tubers are
more plentiful than any grain. In the
United States the starch supply is OBJ
tained chiefly from corn, because that
is the great American crop.
No other country has ever used w hite
bread for daily consumption SO gener-
ally as the United States, because in no
supply Of good wheat. But since the
price of American wheat is now prac-
tically double what 1t should be, and
the ssibilities of still greater in
crease are evident, the substitution of
other ingredients in the composition
of the nations bread becomes impor
tant. The amount of bread eaten by
the average American family renders
it's cost an important factor in the ef-
fort to reduce the high cost of living.
Most housewives familiar with bread
baking are aware of the value of the
use of a small quantity of potato. The
use of "sots," usually credited to the
Pennsylvania Dutch settlers, has been
carried into most other states. "Sots'
are made by scalding a small quantity
of flour with the water in which po-
tatoes have been boiled. After it has
cooled to lukewarmness. the yeast is
added. The old economic method util-
lied the water in which the potatoes
had been boiled for the evening meal
Most housewives agree that they gain
ed finer bread by adding a cup or more
of finely mashed potato to the "sots"
Science has discovered the reason why
bread is better if made with potatoes,
for chemical Investigations prove that
the potato Is richer in amidos, or nitro
gen compounds, than grains. This
makes them better food for the yeast
germs than grain, because they de-
compose more easily, and, therefore,
make the bread rise more rapidly.

Idaho and the Tourist Industry.

Colorado, Utah and California are

large amount Of outside capital.
They have developed a tourist indus

1t is a permanent industry. People
of means always have money for
travel. In the aggregate their expen-
ditures are enormous, and the states
that can offer inducements to sepa-
rate these people from their money
they devote to pleasure and travel
will have a big balance of trade In
their favor.
No state can offer greater induce
ments to tourists than the state of
Idaho Colorado and Utah have no
edge on Idaho, though OF course Cal
ifornia has the advantage of the win
ter climate, but Idaho has some great
attractions. The Yellowstone Ma
tional park is one of the world S
greatest wonders. OF course it is
not exclusively an Idaho attraction,
but the bulk of the travel TO this
wonderland must pass through Ida

successive loan meant a fresh imitation

this procedure was persisted in the
