Your Funny Bone"

When you bump your nose or chin
you bump the flesh and bone and
not nerve. consequently you feel
sensation OF pain just where the
blow was struck. II YOU strike the
point of your elbow II will be just
the same; it's only when you strike
that little hollow between the big
central bone Of the elbow and the
little inside bone that the tickling,
tingling sensations Is felt. In the
little hollow you strike one Of the
large trunk nerves that spring be
tween the vertebrae at the base OF
the neck and run through the arm
tt the wrist. In the hollow OF the
elbow the nerve lies over bone.
When you strike that spot you feel
tingling sensation which isn't ex.

A Voice for Potatoes

Most persons in this country have
pitied the men and women on the con-
tinent of Europe who are compelled
to eat bread made wholly or partly
of potato flour. Yet here come ex-
perts of the home economics depart
ment of Cornell telling us that pota-
toes and meat may be a better food
combination than bread and meat.
These experts declare that there is
good reason for favoring potatoes.
Meat, eggs and cereals, they say, con-
tain mineral elements which give an
excess of acids, while vegetables, fruit
and milk have an excess of bases that
neutralize the acid. Meat produces an
excess of acid, and the food that &C
Companies it should, therefore, give an
excess of alkali. Rice, bread, maca-
roni and cornmeal produce acid, and
so do not fill the need But potatoes
are the natural accompaniment of
meat, because they produce bases.
Most persons" according to these
experts, should make it a point to eat
more potatoes than they are now con.
