Not All Profit.

Col. Breen, of the Coconino
Sun, who a number of years ago,
bought few lambs, and by
being cautious and careful, has
managed to increase his flock
sufficiently so he is subject to an
income tax, sounds an alarum to
the initiated who think they see
millions in the sheep business:
There are some parties in north
ern Arizona whose enthusiasm
over roast lamb is exceeded by
the lurid descriptions of the
profits to be had in raising sheep.
In a few selected experiences
these promoters seek to convince
the uninitiated small investor
that he can make a fortune out
of sheep without getting in smell
ing distance of the range. Buy
a lamb and behold you are pro-
vided with a REQ auto and a trip
TO New York City every month.
If you are gullible enough to
accept the statements you will
invest all Of your savings in one
lamb and draw a small fortune
in three years from the one lone
lamb and no expense or taxes at
tached to the deal. They claim
that the road to independence is
short, the investment is safe and
there is no end to the fun in clip
ping coupons from a lamb. Any
experienced sheepman will tell
you a lamb cannot be raised for
one dollar and sold the next day
for ten dollars, as is claimed by
these rainbow painters.

DETHR0NING KING
POTATO
BY DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON,
Commissioner of Health of Penn
syIvania.

The potato recently has been the
most advertised vegetable we have.
Its consumption far exceeds any other
vegetable made up of large proper
ton of starch. Let US consider the
claims of the potato TO the high dignity
that has suddenly been thrust upon it.
The human digestive system is linn
tied in its power to digest properly
large quantities of starch. Americans
have made general use OF starchy
foods, and this practice is playing its
part in checking the natural growth
of our people, both In mind and In
body.
The excessive eating of potatoes. so
often taken at a meal simply as mat
ter of habit when there are other
starchy foods and sugar in the meal
to supply the same want, causes
catarrhal condition Of the digestive
system, thereby preventing the normal
working OF the glands of digestion.
Gradually q diseased condition OF the
organs of digestion results and this
prevents natures process of preparing
food for assimilation. Consequently
the system has to absorb the waste
products and a gradual starvation and
poisoning is the result. The catarrhal
patient, in addition, gradually loses re-
sistance to germ diseases.
From babyhood and childhood up,
we Americans indulge in an excess of
starchy foods. A well-rouDded diet de-
mands starch along with meat and fat.
OF course, but we indulge I'm an excess
of starch and the habit often continues
through adult life.
Raw potatoes contain about so per
cent of water, and in skinning and
eying we lose on an average about 10
per cent OF the raw potato. The bak-
ing of potatoes causes less loss and
produces the most wholesome prepare
ton for human consumption that can
be made of the vegetable.
What does this suggest with the po-
tato I'm the limelight and its cost out OF
all proportion TO It's real value? The
answer is that Its use can not only be
cut down to a normal proportion OF the
diet for those who like It's taste, but
IL can be entirely replaced by other
foodstuffs which would supply starch
In even greater quantities.
Potatoes have Is parts TO the 100
OF starch and sugar tcarbohydrates) /;
jcllles and marmnlndes, 90 TO 90 parts !;
rice. 70; buckwheat and barley, n;
hominy, 20; cracked wheat, 10; maca-
ronl and spaghetti, ia ralslns, 0S:
oatmeal. o.: toast CO. beans. 90;
bread. 90 TO GO: chocolate, 30; canned
peas. 8; dried peas. O..
In rnislns the carbohydrates are
mostly of the soluble variety known ms
sugars. In nil the other foods men,
toned the carbohydrates present are
mainly starch.
With these things In mind, II Is not
hard 60 think OF the potato being
