Potatoes in Place of Bread

If wheat remains at it's pres
ent high figure or continues to
rise in price, and if there is a cor
responding increase in the price
of bread, scientists in the depart
ment suggest that the ordinary
household will find it advantage
GUS 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 1-pound loaves Of bread
at Scents 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
mere heat units.
Carbohydrates (starch) contri-
butte 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 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
relatively rich in carbohydrates,
however, 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 Eu-
rope and America the potato
ranks next. to bread as a carbhy-
drate food. If prices change suf-
ficiently to make it desirable
from a 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.-Department of Agricul-
ture, Weekly News Letter.

Just Cold Facts, Not Sentiment

Life insurance companies gam
bic on a mans chance to live.
These companies profit while a
policy holder lives and lose when
he dies, therefore it has been their
especial business to find the cause
of early death.
1t isn't a matter of sentiment
with them-merely- a matter of
dollars and cents, so harken:

FLORIDA'S SHELL
FISH INDUSTRY
THE FIRST BIENNIAL REPORT
Made by the State Commissioner
A Fine Showing is Made
Good Work Done

The first Biennial Report of the
Shell Fish Commission, created by
act of the legislature of 1913, has
Just been issued from Tallahassee.
The report is replete with valu-
able information. regarding the
Shell Fish industry of the State
together with handsome half tone
illustrations of oyster fleet,
SPECIMENS of shell fish, State ex-
hibit and other interesting pictur-
es pertaining to the industry.
1t was not expected that the
Shell fish industry would yield
any considerable revenue to the
State for the first two or three
years above operating expenses
but this first Biennial Report, COW
ering eighteen months, shows
property and money in the State
treasury to the amount of $ll,-
071.7S, and net profit to the
State above all running expenses
of $4,848.26.
OF course the primary object of
the law was conservation of the
Shell Fish industry of Florida.
Aside from the financial gain, the
industry has been placed on a
business basis and the law has
been enforced in a manner to con-
serve the Shell Fish for future
generations.
The report shows that a total
revenue of $40, ,487. 10 has been de-
rived from the various sources of
taxation since the creation of the
Commission. $7,23S.S6 of this a.
mount has been expended in the
purchase of necessary boats and
tackle for carrying on the inspec-
ton and patrol service. $8,009.25
have been expended in Deputy
and Patrol service by the Shell
Fish Commissioner and his Depu-
ties.
In order to re-establish the de-
pleted oyster reefs, $4,000 barrels
of shell have been planted at a
cost of $551.04 These shells are
now covered with young oysters
of sufficient size to be marketed
next season.
81, ,147.07 has been expended in
the purchase of necessary office
furniture and fixtures.
$441.S1 has been paid into the
State Treasury on lease and Ii
cense fees and up to the closing
of this report 81 ,693.00 was on de-
posit in the State Treasury in
cash.
Shell Fish Commissioner T. R.
Hodges has collected up very
interesting exhibit on his rounds
which now has prominent place
iii the State Capitol building and
is of much interest to visitors and
those not familiar with the Shell
Fish industry.
The United States Government
has taken note of the activity
shown in the development of this,
one of Florida s most important
resources, and the Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Fisheries,
Washington, ID. c., has sent to
Florida the large Government
Steamer, "Fish Hawk" to survey
out the water bottoms and carry
on experiments in oyster culture.
The survey is now being carried
on in the waters of st. Vincent
Sound, Apalachicola and st. Geo. IS
Bays and will consume perhaps a
year or more. This survey and
these experiments will be of vast
benefit and Importance to the Shell
Fish industry of Florida.

A NEW ATTACK
ON OSSOWETZ
RUSSIANS USING HEAVY GUNS

Germans Claim Gains Com
menf by British Press


along the East Prussian front APP
pears to be the resumption of the
attack on Ossowetz, by the Ger
mans. Their batteries have been
brought up closer but the Russians
claim this bombardment has been
successfully countered. Petro-
grad claims that the Russians are
holding their antagonists on al
most the entire Przasnysz front,
where the Germans are keeping up
a violent artillery fire.
In the Carpathians and in Gala
cia, it is the usual story of attack
and counter-attack, with Vienna
claiming slow advance and Pc
trograd saying they are holding.
The snow is deep and the move
ments of troops difficult.
The Russians are bombarding
IPrzemysl with heavy batteries,
while the Austrians are hammer
ing away to relieve the besieged
In the west the Germans have
attacked st. Eloi, evidently to
counteract the British success at
Nueve Chapelle. The Germans
claim laconically that they have
made progress in that section, but
Paris claims the British have won
most of their lost trenches there.
Except few newspapers which
are inclined to the belief that a
formal blockade would better ac-
complish the desired result virtu-
ally the whole British press COM
mends the "order in council set
ting forth the British retaliatory
measures against Germany. Many
editorial writer's express uneasi-
ness as to the effect this order will
have on neutrals, and advance a
plea for forbearance on account of
the conditions.
German War Zone Fenced.

"A barbed wire fence ten feet
high along which sentries are post

the entire German zone of opera

been posted that any one APP

fence, or attempting to smuggle
letters will be shot at sight. All
foreigners who have been permit
ted to remain in the district are
compelled to report daily to the
commander.
Russian Reservists Called Home.
Washington-All Russian Re-
servists in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and Alaska have
been called to the colors by the
Russian consul-general here. Ap-
proximately 25,000 men in the
Pacific northwest will be affected.
1t is expected special steamer
will be chartered to carry them to
Vladivostok. The order applies
to all classes of reservists.
Russians Advance in Bukowina.
London-The Russians again
are advancing on north
western Bukowina, according to
an exchange telegraph dispatch
from Bucharest, Roumania. The
operations are going forward
slowly because of the bad wealth

Oats has been such an uncertain

often the best crop being from a field
In any old way, that a question has
been raised among farmers as to the
advisability of making any prepara-
tion of the soil other than getting the
seed scattered and enough soil worked
up to cover them.
In some sections this lack of the
proper preparation is the rule rather
than the exception. A great many
SOW the seed among corn stalks and
disc or cover with the cultivator, har-
rowing afterward.
In some cases this plan has pro
duced good crops, but from my obser.
vation and experience the best crops
Of oats are grown on land that has
been we'll broken either in the fall or
the early spring and the oats drilled
in at the rate of two bushels to the
acre.
When seed are put in in this way
there is no trusting to rain to finish
covering them and they will begin to
germinate at once. The seed are all

When the seed are sown on top and
cultivated or disced in some will be
