Urges Potatoes as Wheat Substitute

SUBSTITUTING pOtatOeS Tor hucH Oh
the wheat in your diet, says Miss A
L. Marlatt, director of home economics
in Wisconsin for the federal food adj
ministration, will do patriotic duty
cheaply. Instead of two slices of white
bread or one more muffin or biscuit
for dinner, try an extra baked potato
I'm feeding lower animals or man
we know" declares Miss Marlatt, that
it is necessary to have foods that will
build and repair muscles, regulate
body activities. and furnish energy for
body heat and work. The potato con
tains more than per cent of muscle
building material, more than IS per
cent of starch, one of the best sources
of energy for the body, and it is rich
in mineral matter, potash salts, which
are so necessary for regulating body
activities and keeping blood alkaline.
How nearly perfect the muScie-build-
ing material is may be understood
when we say that beef ranks first,
milk second, and potatoes fourth III the
list: that the muScle-building material
OF bread has just one-haif the value
of that of the potato.
Milk and Potatoes Perfect Diet.
eff the potato is used with food prod
ucts from grains it tends to improve
their muscle-building power. If it is
used with milk, it gives an almost bal
anced ration
Because Germany has already dis
covered the place of the potato in the
economical diet. she is able, according
to Miss Marlatt, to continue under the
present reduction of cereals and fat,
and the cut of the meat allowance to a
half pound of meat q week. The po-
tato allotment of four day for each
person has enabled Germany to hold
out against an otherwise general food
shortage.
Another important factor empha-
sized by Miss Marlatt, in advocating
wider use of the potato, is its compare
tive cheapnesS.
Zone medium sized potato (weight
three Ounces)," she declares, lis equal
in value to two slices of white bread"
At present price of potatoes and of
white -four, potatoes are much cheaper
than bread. and they may be absolute
Iy exchanged for bread in the use in
the body.
IF we serve potato in some form at
every meal, reducing use OF bread
made from wheat flour, we would be
giving a better balanced diet, other
things considered, than we are now
using with our excessive amount Of
white bread.
'PeeliES the potato and allowing it
to stand for long time in water will
waste one-fourth of its valuable
muscle-bui!ding product. Even putting
them into boiling water and cooking
quickly win waste 0ne-twelfth of the
muscle-building power. Baking or
steaming the potatoes ia the jackets
Will waste none of it"

latter was Il sailor, one Of whose legs

nothing else to do but amputate it
