much in the same boat. Each is
willing to fight if necessary, but
neither can do it without disturbing
the red tape and beliefs of some 9TH

stand it, so he is on his way back to
indianapolis today.

no CORY exhibition tonight between
Jack and the ancient and decrepit or

in local rings. Since he fought Billy
Miske, off his feet, here and then
found New York newspapers with
few exceptions giving the edge to the
st. Paul boxer, he has been depressed
He tried to wipe it out by battling
Miske again, but the same thing re-
suited. Then he tackled Al Mccoy,
and although he slammed AL all over
the ring A the Broadway Sporting
club he had the misfortune to again
become the subject of gibes by the
New York scribes. 1t cut deep into

went back to the more gentle meth

Offers Advlces az to Food
Articles That Can
Be Used.
PLENTY OF VARIETY
Substitutes Are More Nutritious
Than Tubers and Are Sew

Cheap.

The present high cost OF potatoes
has caused many housewives to look
about for other articles Of food which
will take their place on the table.
Potatoes. although popularity class
ed as a vegetable, serve the same
place in the meal as do the cereal
foods.
They are used for food because OF
their characteristic flavor, ease or
cooking and the many forms in which
they may be served. Dried potatoes
contain about So per cent starch and
it is to this starch that their food
value is almost entirely due.
The following table compiled by
VIM. II. Harrison, assistant chemist
of the dairy and food department,
shows some of the more common
foods which also consist principally
of starch and which may be substi-
trted for potatoes by those who must
make the contents Of a limited purse

The prices used are those at which
these foodstuffs may be purchased
from your retail grocer on March LIST.
The table shows the weight Of the
food which ten cents will buy and the
food value of that amount. The last
column shows the comparative cost
of enough potatoes to go as far as a
dimes worth of the food:
