Dethroniing
King Potato
DR.. SAMUEL C. DIXON
q. sioner Of Health Of Pennsylvania

>tatO recently has been the

vegetable nnGc un of Il large proper.
ton of starch. Let us consider the
claims of The potato to tho high dignity
that has Sutiilri.ly been thrust upon it
The humtan digestive system is lin.
hted in its power to digest properly
large quantities of starch. Americans
have .nnh" general use of starchy
foods. and this practice is playing its
part in checking the natural growth
of our people, both in mind and in
body.
The excessive eating of potatoes, SO
bitten taken at Il meal simply as IL mat
ter of habit when there are other
starchy foods and sugar in the meal
to supply the same want, causes Il
catarrhal condition of the digestive
system, thereby preventing the normal
working of the glands of digestion.
Gradually diseased condition of the
organs of digestion results and this
prevents natures process of preparing
food for assimilation. Consequently
the system has to absorb the waste
products and a gradual starvation and
poisoning is the result. The catarrhal
patient, in addition, gradually loses re-
siStance to germ diseases.
From bahyhood and childhood uD,
we Americans indulge in an excess of
starchy foods. A wcllroun,lcd diet de-
mandS starch along with meat and fat,
of course, hut we indulge in an excess
of starch and the habit often continues
through adult life.
Raw potatoes contain about so per
cent of water. and in Skinning and
eylng we lose on an average about 10
per cent of the raw pot:ltO. The bak-
Ing of potatoes causes less loss and
produces the most wholesome prcparl-
ton for human consumption that can
be made of the vegetable.
What does this suggest with the no.
tatO in the limeIiyht and it's cost out of
all proportion to it's real value? The
answer is that its use can not only be
cut down to a normal proportion of the
diet for those who like its taste, but
' 1t can be entirely replaced by other
foodstuffs which would supply starch
in even greater quantities.
Potatoes have IS parts to the 100
of starch and sugar carbohydrates ;
jellies and marmalades, 60 to so parts ;
rice, 70; buckwheat and barley, u;
hominy, 7G; cracked wheat, rs; mac:,-
roni and spaghetti, "a; raisins, GS;
oatmeal, 81; tcast, G6; beans. GO;
bread, SO to 60; chocolate, 80; canned
peas, 8; dried peas, 81.
In raisins the carbohydrates are
mostly of the soluble variety known us
sugars. In all the other foods men.
toned the carbohydrates present are
mainly starch.
With these things in mind, it is not
hard to think of the potato being

SIZING PEARLS ART
No Machine Yet Devised to String
Gems Properly.
Only Clever, Practiced Fingers Of Girls
and Women Long Trained in Work
Get Desired Results.

1t appears that for pearl strinsing
no machinery has yet been devised to
take the place of clever, practiced
fingers. The pcarl-stringers are, for
the most parI. girls and women; and
generally they have learned their skill
from other and older members of the
family long engaged in the work.
Good light is one of the essential
needs of the pearl-stringer, especially
when she is employed in making or
repairing pearl ornaments. All beads
must be arranged according to size,
and then, separately, and most care
fully, sewn into place on their dainty
framework. For example, if the de-
sign be that of a flower or leaf, the
skill lies in graduating from the larg-
est pearl to the small one that touches
the extreme point.
Only the finest silk is employed for
stringing the finest pearls. Great
beads, round and shiny, Enthusiastically
artificial, and with no more luster
than white marbles, may be allowed to
hang together on catgut. but "orients"
must be threaded, "pearl kissing pearl"
on silken strands worthy of their
shape and "skin."
The art of the stringer lies in the
apparently simple manner of tying the
knot that attaches the snap. Some
times also she has to make a knot be-
tween bead and bead, an operation
that adds to the length of the necklace,
hut detracts from the beauty of the
line of pearls. The knack of making
this tiny knot will perhaps be &C.
quired by the novice only after years
practice; and the perfect hang of the
beads, neither too loose nor too tight,
depends upon this little knot.
There is no needle fine enough for
threading small seed pearls; so the
Stringer makes her own from bit Of
wire as thin rs hair. She arranges
her pearls, if they are of different
sizes, on a grOoved board covered with
billiard-table cloth. any other material,
such as Il green baize, being much too
coarse.
The work of the pearl-stringer is so
little known that 1t is doubtful wheth-
er one in thousand women who stop
to admire the pearls displayed in the
jewelers. case ever give thought to
the patient fingers that have threaded
the beautiful pearls and tied the al
most invisible. cunning knots that link
them to their diamond clasps.
The pearl is the only gem, it is
claimed. needing not the hand of man
to bring it to perfection. and history
affords ample evidence of the intense
fascination it has always exercised
upon the people of every land. The
pearl is the Oldest object of personal
adornment.
Intlian mythology often speaks Of
the pearl, attributing it's discovery to
the god Vishnu, who is said to have
caused it to be drawn from the ocean
for his daughter Pandaja. The rec.
Ords of the Babylonians, Egyptians,
Persians and Romans also contain
many references to the gem. The
wife of Emperor Caligula, for an or.
binary betrotl'al feast. is said to have
dcckcd herself with pearls to the value
of S1.OOO.OM: and Julius Caesar pre-
sentcd Servil,a, the mother of Brutus.
with a specimen valued Mt So5O.OOO.

Novel Use Of Handkerchief

With the Jacobite revolution of 1745
In England Pelham, bethinking him
self of an old device which had served
the government SO well in the most
critical period Of Anne's reign, caused
to be printed on several thousand
handkerchiefs portraits of those of the
young pretender's adhcrents who had
escaped and were in hiding. These
portraits. sent all over the country
and hung upon every blank wall, led
to the capture and execution of many
fugitives.

new DISCOVERY
LEADS TO RUSH
HIGH-GRADE ORE REPORTED
ON SURFACE so MILES
SOUTH

Many automobile parties left here
last night for the new find near
Quartz mountain and considerable
excitement has been aroused over
the discovery of nigh grade gold
silver ore reported in .hat district.
The discovery was made last
Thursday by Jack Jordan and Ed.
Yaiser, the former known as the
discoverer of Antelope some years
ago and the latter we'll knowa in
Goldfield as Jumbo" The scene
of the discovery is from three to
four miles west of Quartz :ol tain
on the east slope OF Td!icha peak,
so miles southeast of Goidf.e'a. Al.
point where the orc shoot is four
feet wide, Jordan and mis- partner
state they took samples that as
sayed $172. eight ounces If geld
and the remainder in s:i.e". This
assay was obtained in Goldfield
on Thursday.
The find was made while the
men were on a prospecting trip and
no exploration work has been done.
The region is reported to be one
in which little if any mining has
heretofore been done and it is be-
lieved that if the ore continues as
the vein is opened, the district ill
provide a field in which consider
able work will be accomplished.
Jordan and Yaiser are now in Gold
field and expect to return to their
property after receiving additional
assays which they are having made.
The formation in which the ore
is found is porphyry and rhyolite
and not enough work has been done
to determine the width of the vein
in which the four-foot ore-shoot
was found. Men who have seen the
vein say that it can be traced on
the surface for a considerable dis
tance. Jordan and Yaiser have To-
Gated four claims and it is believed
that by this time the many parties
that have left Goldfield and Tono-
pah for the new excitement have
covered the vicinity of the original
discovery with monuments.
The nearest railroad point to
Quartz mountain is Bonnie Glare,
but the roads out of there are re-
ported in poor condition and auto
mobiles that have been leaving
Goldfield go through the Gold Cra
ter district and jamestown and
from there directly south. The
road is said to be good all the way.
Jordan and Yaiser state that
they intend to explore the vein on
