Potatoes as a Food.

At high prices the potato is not a
good food; it is not at any price one of
the best. Civilized humanity existed
without it for centuries, rising to it's
zenith in a potatoless old world. Habit
and convenience in storage have led to
OveruSe.
The potato is three-fourths water
and not quite one-fifth starch, which is
its chief food substance, an excellent
one for outdoor workers in severe eli
mates. 1t is less valuable for seden-
tary workers indoors.
Only one-ive hundredth part OF the
potato is fat; per cent nitrogen, per
cent sugar These more valuable SUBJ
stances are so slight that during the
famine of 1S47 Irish cotters formed
the habit of cooking potatoes with a
bone in the middle" is. Of under
cooking them so that they might delay
digestion and stave off hunger.
There are substitutes, Of which rice
nearly approaches the potato in values
and defects. The correct instinct OF
rice eaters has mended the latter by
the invention of pilaf. in which rice is
supplemented by chopped meats or
gravies.-New York World.

A TWice=TOld Tale
Of Interest To Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and when
it is confirmed after a long lapse of
time, even if we hesitated to believe it
at first hearing, we feel secure in ac-
cepting it's truth now. The following
experience of an Edgerton man is con-
frmed after two years:
John Koch, Lawton ST., Edgerton,
Wis, says: 81 had lot Of trou-
BILE with my back. 1t was 50 lame
and sore that / could hardly stoop. My
kidneys didn't act regularly and the
kidney secretions were unnatural.
Doan's Kidney Pills relieved the lame
ness and pain and did me whole lot
of good. My kidneys were fixed up
in good shape and caused me no more
trouble" Statement given September
10Th, 1907
"DOAN'S PUT NEW LIFE IN ME. "
Over two years later Mr.. Koch said:
''Doan's Kidney Pills put new life into
me and I am glad to confirm my former
endorsement.

Big u. S. WAR LOAN
PASSED BY SENATE
81 Senators Vote Aye and
None Nay.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The bill TO
provide $7,OOO,OOO,OOO as the initial
war fund of the United States passed
the senate by an unanimous vote.
A roll call was demanded and eigh-
ty-four senators recorded their votes
in favor of the bill Twelve did not
vote but they were not a "wilful
dozen" They were absentees, rather
through illness of themselves or mem
bers of their families or official bust
ness of the government.
Colleagues and fellow senators,
speakers for the absentees, put each
one in the record as favoring the bill,
and if all had been present and voting,
the full strength of the senate mem
bership would have been represented
in ninety-six "ayes" and no mays"
for the greatest single fund ever re-
ported by the legislative body.

"Kronstadt."

An interesting legend is told con-
corning the origin of the name OF the
city of Kronstadt. The old town hall
is supposed to stand on the spot where
a golden crown was found in the stump
of tree in 1904. The royal emblem
was believed to have remained hidden
here for more than 100 years. 1t was
identified as having belonged to King
Solomon of Hungary, who concealed it
lest it fall into the hands of the purSu-
ing Bulgarians. Hence the name, Kron
Stadt.

Constipation and Indigestion

These are twin evils. Persons suf-
fering from indigestion are often trou-
bled with constipation. Mrs Robert
Allison, Nation, ILL.,, writes that when
she first moved to Nation she was a
great sufferer from Indigestion and con-
stipation. Food distressed her and
there was feeling like heavy weight
pressing on her stomach and chest.
She did not rest we'll at night, and felt
worn out good part of the time. One
bottle of Chamberlain Tablets cor
rected this trouble so that she has since
felt like different person.
