NATION WIDE POTATO WEEK; g
EVERYBODY TO EAT POTAANES

Three purposes will be accomplish
ed by a nationwide potato week in
which every one will make a sptcial
effort to eat potatoes during the week
from October % to q, according tt the
United States department of agricul-
ture, says a Washington dispatch. 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 availableand econo-
micaI starchy food; the second is to
have wheat during this period; and
the third is to encourage the general
use of potatoes as a wheat substitute
by the American householder.
1t is proposed that consumers make
a special effort to eat potatoes pre-
pared in different ways, recipes for
which can be obtained from the home
economics department Of the various
state colleges of.agriculture, or from
the United States department of agri-
culture.

THOSE GERMAN CANDIDATES.

A pro-German weekly paper of New
York that is widely read is proposing
Robt. M. LaFollette of Wisconsin as a
candidate for President in. 1920. and
David Starr Jordan of California as
his running mate. There is no ques-
ton but that the Wisconsin Senator
could come about as near polling the
full strength of the friends of thu
Kaiser and the German government l.

to find out just how many there are,
we are willing for him to be given the
nomination without being put to the
expense of making a campaign. How
ever. the ticket could be made some

dan, Mayor Thompson of Chicago. He

CHEW room INSTEAD OF GUM.

Why should We not chew our food
more? One reason is that our food IL
too sloppy, too soft. There is no in
centive for chewing it.. Our food
should be harder and drier, so that We
should be induced to chew it. and en-
joy the flavor. We fail to get the del
ieate favors from our food from this
very lack of chewing. How many
times shall we chew the food? Chew
it while you taste it. It is the best
rule. and there is a reason. Not only
do you add to the enjoyment by thus
chewing the food, but one ounce of
food, properly ~masticated, willlnour-
ish you as much as two ounces eaten
