they really possess the characteristics
proper for membership in a club with
such a name they should have the APP

Under normal conditions in Eu-

next to bread as carbohydrate
food If prices change sufficiently to
make it desirable from a financial
point of view there is no scientific
reason why patotoes should not be
substituted to great extent for
bread. In addition the potato like
many fruits and vegetables, helps to
neutralize an acid condition in the

New York, Oct Announcement
was made tonight that the MloVaie
Steel & Ordnance Co.. a $loO,eoo'ooV
corporation recently organized by
William E. Corey, had in addition u
purchasing the Midvale Steel Co., &C
quired three other concerns and mao
secured an option on 300, 900 tons OF
iron ore. .-.>...
These concerns are the Worth
Brothers Co., of Coalsville, Pa, mon
ufacturers. chiefly Of steel plates; the
Coalsville Rolling Mill Co.. which is
allied with Worth Bros, and the Rem
ington Arms Co, of Delaware, a con-
Germ recently organized to manufac-
ture arms and ammunition at Eddys-
tone. Pa. The latter company, which
has leased properties of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works and is building an
other plant, is separate organization,

Arms & Ammunition Co. of lion, N.
Y, but the announcement made to-
night disclosed that MarcelluS H.
Dodge, president of the Remington
Arms & Ammunition Co, is a director
of the new Midvale combination.
With the exception of the United
States Steel Corporation the new Mid
vale Co., becomes the largest steel
concern in point of capitalization in the
country and although Mr.. Corey, who
made the announcement of it's addi-
tional acquisition refused to discuss
the future Of the company it was I'M
derstood in steel circles that other con-
Germs would probably be taken in at a
later date.
The Midvale Ordnance G. Steel Co.
stands as holding company for the
properties acquired and Mr.. Corey's
announcement said that in order to ac-
quire these concerns and to provide
working capital s7O.0O0,00O of its stock
