HOLLANDS BULB BUSINESS.
Was More Favorable in 1916 Than in
Two Preceding Years.

Harlem, Netherlands. Feb. NO!
withstanding the prohibition of bulb
importations to the British Isles, the
at their recent annual meeting that the
year 1916 had been generally more IA
vorable than either 1915 or 1914.
The total export of bulbs in the pIin-
eipal export months of August, Septem-
Der and October showed a decrease of
S2,500,000 Kilograms as compared with
the corresponding period of the previous
year, but when it was remembered that
Britain took nearly 100000 Kilograms
in 1915 it will be seen that the loss of
the British market in the past year was
largely compensated for by increased ex.
port to other countries. Higher prices
were obtained than at any time since
the war began.
OF the 100000 Kilograms exported
in the three months named, America
took 100000, or nearly half, Germany
100000, and the Scandinavian counties
100000. The export to America and
the Scandinavian countries underwent a
very considerable increase, as was the
case in the previous year, whereas the
export to Germany, which closed its
frontier to all other flower garden prod
ucts, remained stationary.
Some concern has been caused to
Dutch bulb-growers by a new narcissus
disease that is rapidly spreading, and
an expert Investigator has been engaged
to study the matter.

Our hearts with grief are broken,

Cheered many lonely home;
But she has gone where there is no sor-
row
Nor pain, nor suffering,
And she is happy there,
So happy that we ought to feel re-
eonciled.
She bore her pain so patient
And now God has taken her home,
Where her pain and suffering is Ger
And her work on earth is done.

POTATOES AS FOOD.
Perform Important Function in Keeping
Body Tissues Alkaline--Methods
of Preparation.

| The general use of potatoes in the av,
erage family and the better customs pre-
yailing in many homes in preparing the
Iubers for food are based on sound eco.
monte and dietetic reasons, according to
specialists of the office of home econom.
les of the United States department OF
agriculture. Studies of the preparation
and use of potatoes as food are reported
in department of agriculture bulletin No.
46s, recently issued.
Potatoes are easy to cook in variety
of ways. From the point of view of
dieteties, they furnish starch in one read
ily dgestible form, contain mineral sub
stances of Importance to the body, and
fact less generally known-tend to
make the tissues and fluids of the body
alkaline, SO counteracting the tendency
OF meats, eggs, fish, and like foods to
create acid conditions. Since the body
does its work best when its condition is
either neutral or slightly alkaline, pota-
toes, like most vegetables, perform an
important function in the diet, besides
furnishing energy producing material.
This scientific fact justifies the custom
that is prevalent in many families of
serving goodly supply of potatoes or
other vegetables with each helping of
meat
Potatoes, however, while valuable adj
ditlon TO a mixed diet, alone are not suit
ed to meet the needs of the body, be-
cause OF their poverty in proteins and
fat. Of these latter important elements,
protein is furnished in meats, eggs, fish,
milk, beans, and similar foods, and fat
IN butter, bacon, table oils, and the fats
and oils used in cookery.
Greater care than commonly is exer-
clsed should be taken in peeling potatoes.
Very often 20 per cent. of the potato is
pared away. This results not only in the
waste OF considerable potato, but also in
the loss of one of the most valuable por-
tions OF the tuber, since the soluble min |
aral salts are present in the material
near the skin, which would be removed !

STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead OF
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment--clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are
purely vegetable compound mixed wifi,
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief, so you can eat what you like.

and thrown away. These salts can b.
preserved by more careful removal OF
the skin, as by shallow pairing or rub
bling, and also by boiling or baking the
potatoes in their jackets.
PAIRING before boiling, however, may be
the most desirable method of cooking pc.
tatoes which through an undue exposure
to light may have acquired bitter
taste, or those which have been kept
until late in the spring, since in this
way more of the disagreeable flavor is
eliminated. Such potatoes may also be
soaked before cooking.
While these methods may be desirable
with potatoes which have been exposed
to light, they result in the loss of consid.
cradle food value without compensating
advantages when applied TO new or we'll
matured potatoes. If such potatoes are
boiled after pairing, they should be
dropped into boiling water instead of
being placed on the stove in cold water.
By the latter method there is twice the
loss of protein, or tissue building ele
ments, resulting from the former. The
loss of mineral matter is about the same
by each method. There is no loss of
starchy material in boiling, unless por-
tons of the tuber break off
Practically the only loss when potatoes
are baked in their skins is of the water
which escapes as steam. The more or
less common custom of pricking holes in
the skin of baked potatoes or breaking
them is explained by the fact that unless
the steam which is formed inside the
skin is allowed to escape, it will change
back into water and produce sogginess.
Potatoes which have turned green and
sprouting tubers have present consid-

FERTILE LAND WILL
HELP LICK KAISER

Ames, Sept. 1S.-Want to help
lick the kaiser? Certainly you do,
so does everyone else in the state
and in other states and other coun-
tries.
Take care of the barnyard manure
and do your bit. There will be an
extra yield of from eight to ten
bushels per acre of corn next year
if you treat the ground with ma
nure this winter. The soils depart
ment at the Iowa State college here
had the statistical experts figure it
out after they experimental.
All waste materials which have
fertilizer value should be boarded as
some do money. Hang on to it.
Here's what the soil department of
the college say about it:
Manure should be stored to pre-
vent loss or else it should be ap-
piled to the land as rapidly as pro-
duced. BY either of these methods
from so to IS per cent of it's fer
tilizer value can be utilized. If it
is improperly stored or used, there
will be a large percentage of loss
in value and a consequent loss in
fertility and crop yield next year.

and preserving manure are detailed

periencing that which the Master
taught, but which we had not ap-
propriated. Those who have not ex-
'perienced the blessings which Chris
tian Science brings cannot under
stand the expressions of gratitude to-
ward Mrs. Eddy, and sometimes OBJ
ject to them. Gratitude is the OPP
posite of selfishness, and what we
give to one does not take from an
other. There is room in the thought
of the Christian Scientist for the ex-
preston of gratitude wherever graf
itude is due.
The Christian Scientist prays
without ceasing. He is not, given to
praying audibly, because he is not
praying to man, but to God, who
hears him in secret but rewards him
openly.
Mrs. Eddy says, "TlIe habitual
struggle to be always good is un-
ceasing prayer" (Science and
Health, p. A. Our idea of goodness
needs to be enlarged to include all
good qualities. 1t should include
health and success as we'll as holt
ness. If Gods help is not available
in everything, how are we to know
how much he may be relied upon in
anything? If God will not save us
from sick body or sick business,
how can we be sure that He will
save us from sin? Men are proving
daily that Christian Science may be
successfully applied to every human
activity, to every human problem.
1t enables the business man to be
blessing to the entire community
which he serves, and he in turn is
blessed with freedom from worry
and a consciousness of peace and
success. Christian Science has
brought many prosperous business
conditions where before there had
been business failures, just as it has
in SO many instances brought
healthful conditions of the body
where before there had been medi-
cal failures.
To get an understanding of d.
vine Love requires nothing but the
belief that the infinite Principle
may be understood and a desire to
understand it. He who with an hon
est motive makes an effort to know
the letter of Christian Science will
receive the Spirit, and there is no
human difficulty which divine Love
cannot heal.
