Most persons in this country have

PEELED to eat bread made wholly or
partly Of potato flour. Yet here come
experts of the home economics de-
partment Of Cornell telling US that
potatoes and meat may, be q 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 acid. Meat pro.
duces an excess Of acid. and the food
that accompanies it should, there
fore, give an excess of alkali. Rice,
bread, macaroni and cornmeal pro-
duce acid, and 80 do not flll the need.
But potatoes are the natural accom-.
paniment Of meat, because they pro-
duce bases. "Most persons" accord
ing to these experts. Should make 1t
