Week of October % to 27 Has Been
Set Aside as Time for Eating
Potatoes and Saw
ing Wheat.
MANY WAYS OF COOKING
Potatoes Will be Most Economical
Starchy Food Available Accord
ing to Agricultural
Department.

One Of the dates or series of dates
to be kept in mind now is October 22-
23-24-25-26-27. These days are set
aside especially in honor Of the potato.
You are to eat more potatoes during
that week just as there were weeks
not so many months ago when for
good and sufficient reasons you ate
few potatoes and were experimenting
with all kinds Of substitutes. The fol-
lowing has been sent out from Wash
ington concerning this new week:
Three purposes will be accom-
plished by a nationwide potato week
in which everyone will make special
effort to eat potatoes during the week
from October % to 27, according to
the United States department of agri.
culture The first of these purposes is
to encourage the eating of the tubers
because at that time it is expected that
potatoes will be the most available and
economical starchy food; the second
is to save wheat during this period,
and the third is to encourage the gen"
era1 use Of potatoes as wheat SUBJ
stitute by the American householder.
Try Different styles.
TT is proposed that consumers make
special eIOrC 10 eat potatoes pre-
pared in different ways, recipes for
which can be obtained from the home
economics departments of the various
state colleges of agriculture, or from
the United States department of agri-
culture. 1t is not supposed that this
potato week will of itself have much
effect on the potato situation, but it
should call the attention of the people
to the fact that there is a plentiful
supply which should be used in do
nestle commerce, leaving the more
readily transportable grains for export
trade In shipping potatoes about
four-fifths Of the weight is water; in
shipping wheat only one-eighth is
moisture.
/ Have Had Raisin week.
"The department does not claim any
originality for the idea Of a potato
week. The same plan has been in eff
feet for a number of years in respect
to raisnns for which there is a ma
tional raisin day, established through
extensive advertising by the raisin in
dustry Of California. The same thing
| has been done in respect to oranges by
the citrus-fruit associations The pur-
pose of the day is to increase the gen.
eral consumption of these products by
acquainting the people with their food
value"

II. C. Of /. Prohibits Giving Of Annual

Because Of the unusually high cost
Of foodstuffs prevailing at the present
time, it has been found wise to call of
the annual gymnasium banquet. which
was scheduled at the Y. NJ. G. A. for
Friday evening, April q. Physical
Director c. E. Gilman announced today
that the price which would have to be
charged for the dinner even to come
out without loss, was such that it was
thought best to call the affair off al
together.
This will in no way interfere with
the annual exhibition, however, which
will be staged in the gymnasium on the
evening of Wednesday, April 25. The
medals and shields which were to have
been here in time for the banquet, viii
