Pototoes Perform Important part
Keeping Body Tissues Alkaline

The general use of potatoes in the
average family and the better GUS
toms prevailing in many homes. in
preparing the tubers for food are
based on sound economic and dietitic
reasons, according to specialists of
the Office of Home Economics of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Studies Of the preparation
and use of potatoes as food are re-
ported in Department of Agriculture
Bulletin No. 468, recently issued.
Potatoes are easy to cook in a
variety of ways. From the point of
view Of dietetics, they furnish starch
in one readily digestible form, con-
tain mineral substances of import
ance 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
meat, eggs, fish, and like foods to
create acid conditions. Since the
body does its work best when its con-
dition is either neutral or slightly al
kaline, potatoes, like most vegetables,
perform an important function in the
diet besides furnishing energy-pro-
ducing material. This scientific fact
| justifies the custom that is prevalent
in many families of serving goodly
supply of potatoes or other vegetables
with each helping of meat.
Potatoes, however, while valu-
able addition 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 inn
portant elements protein is furnished
In meats, eggs, fish, milk, beans, and
similar foods, and fat in butter, ba-
con, table oils, and the fats and oils
used in cookery.
Greater care than commonly is
exercised should be taken in peeling
potatoes. Very often 20 per cent
Of the potato is pared away. This
results not only in the waste of con-
siderable potato but also in the loss
of one of the most valuable portions
of the tuber, since the soluble min
eraf salts are present in the material
near the skin, which would be remov-
