Starchy Roots Have
High Value as Food

Washington, D. c., Jan. 18.-A num-
Der of starchy roots, tubers, and corns
of vegetables, including Jerusalem ar
tichokes, cassavas, dasheens, yams,
yautias, and taros, in addition to the
well-known sweet potatoes, have food
values and degrees of digestibility ap-
proximately equal to those of the, Irish
or white potato and, like the latter
merit extensive use as part of mixed
diets, according to specialists of the
Office of Home Economics of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
OF these vegetables, the sweet pota-
to is best known in this country and is
most extensively consumed both in the
fresh and canned forms. Cassava is
grown extensively in Florida and may
be prepared directly as food by cook
ing or may be made into flour from
which bread and cakes are to be pre-
pared. Tapioca, which is prepared
from it, is widely used.
The Jerusalem artichoke, member
Of the sunf1ower family, which grows
throughout a large portion of the Unit
ed States, may be obtained in many
markets throughout the winter since
lit is not injured by frost and can be
dug when wanted. 1t may be prepar-
ed in many ways and gives whole
some variety to the diet.
A number of the tropical edible
roots are known to Americans chiefly
in the. island possessions Of the United
States. The dasheen, however, can
>be grown easily in the warmer por-
tons of continental United States and,
because Of it's good shipping qualities,
already has found its way into a num-
Der of markets. The Department of
Agriculture has published recipes for
it's preparation in variety of dishes

No. 1874 and Bureau of Plant Indus

At Last! China Has
A Shorthand System

Washington, Jan. 1S.-After many
persons had given up in despair a
Chinaman has perfected shorthand
system for the Chinese language and
has opened schools in China. The
system, as described in advices to the
commerce department to-day, per-
mits speed of 40 words a minute.
I The great difficulty in the way of
writing Chinese in shorthand has been
the lack of written vowels and con-
sonants in the language. The char
acters representing the Language do
not express specific sounds. The same
syllable often. too, may be spoken in
as many as nine different tones, each
having separate meaning.

home in France because it has no
home of its own. The band had

with the men, the reply from all
soldiers is practically the same.
They appreciate the disposition Of
the officer to handle men as men,
and not as machines. They like the
disposition Of the Southerner, and
his lack Of irrability, as we'll a.
his willingness to let the men occa-
sionally. They say that the officers
also show less disposition to hold
aloof from the men, and while they
are more solicitous about their
welfare than the officers they left
in the north, they seem more COM
panionable without really being so.
