Cook Potatoes In Skin to Avoid Waste

The greatest patriotic duty within
the power of the average American to-
day is the conservation of the nation s
potato supply. Eugene H. Grubb, an
authority on potatoes, told members CT

Chicago recently. The potato has en-
abled Germany to prolong the war at
least two years. he said.
american people are very wasteful
in the use of the potato. The average
housewife wastes from IL to Is per
cent of the food value by pairing away
the best part. The most economical
way to prepare it is to cook it with the
skin on.

AN APPEAL BY THE PRESIDENT.

In a personal appeal addressed
to his fellow countrymen, Presi
dent Wilson calls upon every
American citizen man, woman
and child to join together te
make the nation a unit for the
preservation of its ideals and fol-
triumph of democracy in the
world war.
1.-The supreme test of the ma.
ton has come" says the address.
eve must all speak, act ano
serve together"
In part he says:
II take the liberty, therefore,
of addressing this word to the
farmers of the country and to all
who work on the farms: The SUI
preme need of our own nation
and of the nations with which
we are cooperating is an abun'
dance of supplies, and especially
of foodstuffs. The importance
of an adequate food supply. es'
pecially for the present year, is
superlative. Without abundant
food, alike for the armies ano
the people now at war, the whole
great enterprise upon which we
have embarked will break doWr
and fail. The worlds food re-
serves are low. Not only during
the present emergency but fol
some time after peace shall have
come both our own people and
large proportion of the people of
Europe must rely upon the har.
vests in America. Upon the
farmers of this country, there
fore, in la 'ge measure, rests the
fate of the war and the fate of
the nations. May this nation
not count upon them to omit nc
step that will increase the pro.
duction of their land or that will
bring about the most effectua
cooperation in the sale and dis.
tribution of their products? The
time is short. 1t is of the most
imperative Importance tn a
everything possible be done ane
done Immediately to make sure
of large harvests. I call upor
young men and old alike anl
upon the able-bodied boys of the
land to accept and act upon this
duty-to turn in hosts to the
farms and make certain that M
pains and no labor is lacking ir
this great matter.
l particularly appeal to the
farmers of the South to PLAN
abundant foodstuffs as we'll as

patriotism in no better or more
convincing way than by resisting
the great temptation Of the pre-
sent price of cotton and help
ing, upon a great scale, tt
feed the nation and the peoples
everywhere who are fighting fol-
their liberties and for our own.
The variety of their crops will
be the visible measure of theil
comprehension of their nationa
duty.
The Government Of the
United States and the Governors
OF the several states stand ready
to cooperate. They will dc
everything possible to assist far.

How 10 Test Soil

The most common test for deter
mining if soil is acid or sour is by
means of blue litmus paper. which
can be obtained at a very small cost
from nearly every druggist. A small
quantity of moist soil from the field
is compacted into a ball. the ball
broken in half and strip of litmus
paper laid across one part and the
halves pressed together again. Aft
er an hour or so the ball of soil
should again be broken apart and
the paper removed. If the paper
shows decided pink color the sample
of soil is acid. If deep rooted crop
such as alfalfa is to be grown it will
be well to test samples taken from
both the surface soil and the subsoil.
Nothing is harder to keep than a
girl who fancies the other fellow.

HEAVY TAXES TO PAY
FOR PREPAREDNESS
Revenue Bill Passes House by
Party Vote; 8 Per Cent Tax
on Business Profits

However necessary the policy Of
military and naval preparedness"
may be. it costs a great deal of money
and compels new taxes which make
taxpayers groan.
The present policy is to tax the
rich and let the poor escape; and this
still further loads the burden upon
the rich or well-to-do, who are COM
paratively few in number.
Many people are now paying tax
bills of hundreds or thousands of
dollars each year, who, up to four
years ago. had almost altogether es-
capped taxation. They pay on their
incomes; to the nation 2 cents to 13
cents on the dollar, and often as
much or more to the State. Besides
they have their local taxes as usual.
Last week the Revenue Bill passed
the House of Representatives, laying
new taxes on wealth or incomes.
This bill is expected to raise S248,-
600, 900 extra revenue. mainly to pay
for preparedness" 1t was almost
a strict party vote in the House.
All the Democrats except four voted
for it. All the Republicans voted
against it. The bill had been ap-
proved by the Secretary of the
Treasury and by the President.
This bill increases by so per cent
the present taxes on inheritances.
1t puts tax on the 'excess profits"
of business. which are defined as
profits above $4,000. plus 8 per cent
on the capital actually invested.
The tax on the excess is the heaviest
tax ever levied in this country-8
cents on the dollar. 1t is expected
that this new tax will yield 1926. .0OO.-
600.

SAYS HE HAS SURE
CURE FOR PNEUMONIA

Pneumonia is more fatal in Ari-
zona than any other disease. Often
when people here get the pneumonia
they die within week or less. Be-
cause of this fact, William Winsell
has furnished the Internationa al with
the following letter recently printed
in the Los Angeles Record, which
letter contains what is asserted to be
sure cure for pneumonia:
Editor The Record: During my
stay in Pasadena, 19O1-O8. | read in
Los Angeles papers of deaths from
pneumonia of from two to five per-
sons every "a hours, The 9th of
February, 1909. | got the following
prescription inserted in four of the
Los Angeles daily papers; the pub
lie read it and the next day the high
death rate dropped suddenly. the
papers only recording one death a
day.
This simple remedy was discovered
20 years ago, and can be had at any
drug store for 80 cents. Seven peo-
pie died last week in one day from
this malady. | am ready to defend
this remedy as an absolute cure for
pneumonia. even in its last stages.
The remedy is: Saturate a ball of
cotton one inch in diameter with
spirits of grain alcohol, add three
drops of chloroform to each ball of
cotton. place it between the patients
teeth latter first using vaseline on
the gums to prevent burning) and
let the patient inhale the fumes in
long. deep breaths for Is minutes;
then rest for Is minutes or more; in
hale again and repeat the above for
20 times.
The result will be that the lungs
will relax and expand to their nor
NAL condition; in "a. hours the pa
tient is out of danger and in 48 hours
cured. although weak.
Change the cotton every seven
minutes, else the saliva will dilute
the alcohol.
Doctors. try this for humanity's s
sake.
Cut this out and save, as it may
save life. MARCUS A. REDDING.

REMOVAL OF APPENDIX

Pierre, S. D., February 12.-South
Dakotans will be protected from un-
scrupulous practitioners. who dag
nose any illness as appendicitis and
then perform an operation, under a
bill prepared for introduction in the
State Legislature.
This bill would require that all ap-
pendices, removed in operation, be
sent to the State laboratory for
examination. These appendices. after
being examined. would then be re-
turned to their respective owners, y
together with certificate showing
their condition.
In event an appendix was not dis
eased the owner" would be re-
lieved of any liability for payment

Forest Grazing Fees Increased

Ogden, Utah, February 2. 1917.
The District Forester announced
to-day that the Secretary of Agri-
culture has decided definitely to in
crease the fees for grazing live stock
upon the National Forests of the IN
termountain District during 1917 a
flat rs per cent.
1t was the original plan to increase
the fees for this use of the Forests
33 1-3 per cent each year for the next
three years. thus doubling the pres
ent fees at the end of the third year.
In announcing the Secretary's de-
cision in the matter, it is further
stated that increases in following
years will be based upon further
study of conditions.
Receipts from grazing of live stock
within the Intermountain District
for the season of 1916 amounted to
approximately 1852, 900. With 25
per cent increase. they will reach a
total of at least $3.50, 900 during 1917.
Thirty-five per cent of all receipts
from the sale and use of National
Forest resources are now returned
to the States and counties in which
the forests are located for road and
school purposes, so that the increase
in grazing fees also means rs per
cent increase in these returns to
States and counties.

COLORADO FARMER CAN PROF

The Colorado farmer can, if he will,
raise just as good wheat as is raised
anywhere. They tell US that Colo
RADIO wheat is poor in gluten; this may
or may not be true, according to the
variety grown and the treatment Civ
en- to the soil The soft, western
wheat sells for five cents less per hun
dred than the winter or hard spring
wheats. Is it worth while to grow the
hard wheat! This is a question for
the farmer to answer. The hard
wheat yields just as well as our soft
wheat.
The soft wheat makes an excellent
biscuit dough but is not so good for
bread making. Before we learned
that we can profitably raise winter
wheat, we, of course, thought that
spring wheat was our advantageous
crop, but we are not confined to grow.
ng spring wheat. There may be some
disadvantages in growing winter
wheat but there are also great ad
vantages. The quality for any Of thu
, given variety is more certain to b,
good. because it is, owing to its rip
ening earlier and during portion o.
the season when rain is not so preva
lent as later, more likely to escap'
rust than spring wheat. This is yer!
important, for wheat grown on ruste,
plants is poorer in gluten than i
| ought to be. Some varieties of sprint
wheat are very rich in gluten, othe
varieties are poor. Those poor il
