This tuber originated in South
America, and about 1860 it. was
introduced by way OF Spain TO
Italy and Burgundy. reaching
England in 1854, encountering
strong opposition. It was first
grown in Austria in 1856 and in
SaxoRy in 1105, and strong pref
lldices had to be overcome before
it became an article OF diet: and
perhaps only famine was respon-s
stble for its free, consumption
In /. France it was, unknown be-
fore the Revolution The prejud-
ice was due in part to confusion
OF the tuber with the fruit, the
latter being unfit for consumption.
At present the German acreage
exceeds that Of every other coun-
try. 12.6 per cent OF arabic land
being gwen up to the potato, or
over five times the acreage OF
England. The tonnage OF the po-
tato crop has increased enormous
" in late years.
An acre OF potatoes contains
more nlIti.iment than an acre OF
vegetables or cereals. In addi-
ton to an enormous human con
sumption. potatoes are used very
largely for fodder and for max
ing spirits.
The per capita consumption OF
potatoes by human beings is about
400 pounds per annl1In, but the
considerably that used for hui
man food. while half as much Is
used for distilling as for feeding
the people. But cutting down the
fodder or spirit production, OF
both, the pr'blic can benefit by
large reserves OF food.
The potato is far from being
an ideal food in itself, for tits
almost fat free, and its protein
content is small, although quite
utilizable.
Loses Much in Peeling.
The tuber loses nearly a fourth
of its nutriment by peeliug

of silesia and Bavaria. However,
under the more recent teachings
concerning the snfi1ciency. Of low
protein diet, such amounts may
be far too large. In other words,
from half to two-thirds the
amount OF potatoes mentioned
above may furnish the protein
requirement OF subjects engaged
in moderate activities. 8, -
This laboratory find does not
quite agree with clinical expert
ence. however, fora potato: diet is:

for the reduction OF weigh When

who have used the pot ato diet in 4
practice further state that ifamores

From all that has been said,
therefore, the potato will serve
admirably as leading constit-.

by the objection that the latter
cover up decayed regions and. that
only after peeling can these be
