Ann Arbor-As a result of the re-
cent fire in the Benjamin rooming
house for girls, Secretary Shirley w.
Smith has undertaken to devise some
feasible plan for insuring the per-
sona property of students. An in
vestigation disclosed the fact that
only a small number of students i'm
the entire University carry fire in
surance, the few who do being mem
bers of fraternities and sororities
Failure to insure personal property
has been attributed to the lack of
collective policies that would be con-
venient for students who are not
members of fraternities. 1t is prob
able that students in each rooming
house will be urged to appoint trus-
tee. to carry insurance for the student
property in the house, or that local
agents will be asked to issue open
policies covering the property of stu
dents wherever located. The only
other possibility seems to be to have
students in the various houses take

Government Experts Advise
To Eat More Potatoes In
Place of Eating Bread
fsERE is NO SCIENTIFIC REASON WHY THE POTATO CANNOT
SUBSTITUTE WHEAT WIEN FLOUR is HIGH

Washington, ID. C.-If wheat re-
mains at its present high figure or
continues TO rise in price and if there
is corresponding increase in the price
of bread, scientists in the United States
Department of Agriculture suggest
that the ordinary household will find
it advantageous TO eat more potatoes
and less bread. With potatoes at 60
cerA. IA bushel, ten cents worth-or
ten pounds-will give the consumer a
little mere actual nourishment than
two one-pound loaves of bread at five
cents each. The protein and fat are
present in appreciably larger amounts
in the bread, but the potatoes will be
found to furnish 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 whether

Are Your Kidneys Well !
Many People Know the Importance of
Healthy Kidneys.

The kidneys filter the blood.

they cannot 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 rel
atively rich in carbohydrates, how
ever, potatoes should be eaten with
foods correspondingly 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. If
prices change sufficiently to make it
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 vege-
tables, helps to neutralize an acid
condition in the body. This is an
other reason for its being eaten in
combination with meat, fish, and other
animal foods.

 DAYS BY CARRANZA
British Subject Charged With Dis tribution of News Unfavorable to
 Cause of Mexican Leader

Vera Cruz. August 12.-tVia New Or leans August lS)-Henry W. Francis, a British subject, correspondent for Amer ican newspapers. was arrested by order of General Carranza and has been impis- oned six days without having been given a trial or being permitted to consult with the British or American consuis. The Carranza officers charged Francis with having distributed news into the United States unfavorable to Carranza.
 All efforts of John K. Siliman, repre- sentative of the state department. and American Consul Canada to see Francis have been denied
 Francis was arrested while sitting in a cafe by Carranza officers dressed in civilian clothes. His protests were with 'incommunicado.' When Consul Canada appeared in Francis behalf he was brushed aside and ordered out of the building by Carranza's s agents MT Silt man was given similar treatment.
 The arrest of Francis was in defiance of a warning from Secretary Lansing, who, having been informed by cable that the newspaper mans liberty was .threatened sent note to Carfanaa that Francis ar rest would he considered unfriendly to the United States. This warning and subse. quent protests have been ignored.
