POTATOES AS FOOD
Perform Important Function in Keep
ing Body Tissues Alkaline. Methods
of Preparation.

VI ~
The general use Of potatoes in the
average family and the better Gus
toms prevailing in many homes in pre-
pairing the tubers for food are based
on sound economic and dietetic reas-
ons, according to specialists of the
Office of Home Economics of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Studies of the preparation and use Of
potatoes as food are reported in De-
partment of Agriculture Bulletin No.
4G8, recently issued.
Potatoes are easy to cook in vari-
ETY. of ways. From the point of view
Of dietetics, they furnish in one read
lily digestible form, contain mineral
substances of Importance to the body,
and-a 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 docs its work best when its
is either neutral or slightly
potatoes, like most veg
etables, perform an important func
ton in the diet besides furnishing
producing material. This sci
cntific fact justifes the custom that is
prevalent in many families Of serving
a goodly supply Of potatoes or other
with each helping of meat.
Potatoes, however, while a valuable |
to a mixed diet, alone are not
suited to meet the needs of the body |
because of their poverty in proteins
and fat. OF these latter important
elements protein is furnished in meats,
.ggs, fish, milk, beans, and similar
ODDS, and fat in butter, bacon, table
ills, and the fats and oils used in cook
,ry.

BOY SCOUT NOTES
The Scout Oath

Before he becomes a scout a DO!
must promise
On my honor | will do my best
/. To do my duty to God and m!
country, and to obey the scout law;
2. To help other people at all times
3. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight.
When taking this oath the scout will
stand, holding up his right hand, palm
to the front, thumb resting on the nail
Of the little finger and the other three
fingers upright and together.
The Scout Law
There has always been certain writ
ten and unwritten laws regulating the
conduct and directing the activities Of
men. We have such unwriten laws
coming down from past ages. In Jap
an, the japanese have their Bushido
or laws of the old Samurai warriors.
During the Middle Ages, the chivalry
and rules of the Knights of King Ar
thur, the Knights Templar, and the
Crusaders were in force. In aborigin-
al America, the Red Indians had their
laws of honor; likewise the Zulus,
Hindus, and the later European ma
lions have their ancient codes.
The following laws which relate to
the Boy Scouts of America are the
latest and most up to date. These
laws a boy promises to obey when he
takes his scout oath.
l.. A scout is trustworthy.
A scouts honor is to be trusted. II
he were to violate his honor by telling
a lie, or by cheating, or by not doing
exactly a given task, he may be di-
rected to hand over his scout badge.
2. A scout is loyal.
He is loyal to all to whom loyalty is
due: his scout leader, his home, and
parents and country.
3. A scout is helpful.
He must be prepared at any time to
save life, help injured persons, and
share the home duties. He must do at
east one good turn to somebody every
lay.
4. A scout is friendly.
He is friend to all and a brother to
very other scout.
S. A scout is courteous.
He is polite TO all, especially to
women, children, old people, and the
weak and helpless. He must not take
,ay for being helpful or courteous.
6. A scout is kind.
He is a friend to animals. He will |
ot kill nor hurt any living creature
eedlessly, but will strive TO save and
rotect all harmless life.
Z. A scout is obedient
He obeys his parents, scout master,
atrol leader, and all other duly con-
tituted authorities.
s. A scout is cheerful.
He smiles whenever he can. His |
bedience to orders is prompt and :
heery. He never shirks nor grumbles
| hardships. Ii
3. A scout is thrifty. s
He does not wantonly destroy prop S

feeling in Holland.
Herr Van Aalst declared that Dutch
commercial men would never yield to
such a measure or try to influence the
government to yield He thought Ger
many might forego improvements on
Belgian roads.
Great Britain on October IL stopped
all commercial cable communication
with Holland until such time as The
Netherlands government placed abso-
Lutte restriction on the transit of sand
gravel and scrap metal from Germany
to Belgium by way of Holland.
The British government contended
that this concrete raw material was
being used by the Germans in great
quantities in the construction of dug
outs to the detriment of the British
soldiers.
The Netherlands government re
piled by saying that it would satisfy
the British desire to stop the transit
of sand and gravel to Belgium only
when the British government showed
notwithstanding the declaration of the
German authorities and the investiga
tions of Dutch officers, that the ma
terials were being used for war pur
poses.
