Potatoes with Meat

Meat and potatoes are good food COM
bination, and may be better diet than
bread and meat, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture. At
this time, when a plentiful supply Of pota-
toes makes them cheap, and when wheat
and -four are high, the average family,
says the department, may find it wise TO
eat less wheat foods and 10 use potatoes
instead. Potatoes at 81 bushel give more
energy and good mineral bases than bread
at cents half pound loaf.
Most persons like potatoes with meat,
and they furnish valuable starch; but it is
pointed out that mere starch is not all that
is needed, and that the mineral content Of
potatoes is Of value in counteracting the
acid forming substances in meat. These
acids are present also in cereals, while veg
etables, fruits and milk have an excess Of
neutralizing alkalis. Therefore, potatoes
are better with meats than are rice, bread
and macaronL
Furthermore, potatoes assist in regulat-
ing the digestive tract 10 a greater extent
than white -four, macaroni and polished
rice. Potatoes maybe added to the diet in
bread itself by mixing a portion of finely
mashed potatoes with fiour.-F'rom the
Weekly News Letter of the Department Of
Agriculture.

It Seems Clear That German Spies
| Are Largely Responsible

In view of the known and proved ac-
tivity Of German plotters, bombers and
incendiaries, the inference is clearly JUS
tilted that a considerable part Of these
losses were due TO their hands. This in
ference is greatly strengthened by glance
at the chronological list printed on this
page Of The Review, showing some Of the
more important pro-German activities,
fires, explosions and other disasters that
seemed attributable to sabotage activities
Of alien enemies or their helpers since
the beginning of the war. The greatly
increased frequency of such events during
1917 is the most striking fact brought out
by this list. Evidently Germany's agents
no longer feel themselves bound by the
warning contained in one Of the kilograms
Of the German government made public
BY Secretary Lansing, against reckless
sabotage in the United States.

All of this "nefarious work." it has
been argued, must clearly have been
planned for the purpose Of cutting down
the country's food supply, just as many
incendiary fires were evidently inspired
"by the same diabolical motive" Ac.
cording to THE Providence Journal" food
to the total value of s25,O00,OO0 has been
destroyed by fires in the United States
since this country entered the war, and
it is estimated that three-fourths Of it
was due to incendiarism. In view Of these
losses, the government decided two weeks
ago that extra precautions should be taken
to protect the supplies of grain, provi-
sons and livestock stored here. 1t was

wives. The need for more sheep and more
wool is considered by Irving Chandler, IN
the course of whose discussion the follow
ing interesting facts are cited:
"In the country as a whole the hgures
show that in the last six years the sheep
population declined by 100000 and IN the
last wear bv 100000. Between 1909 and 1915
the wool production decreased from S,oOo'ooO
N 2ss 900 600. while at the same time the
nopulation has increased rapidly. As the wool
consumption of the country during the last
fiscal year was sol, 495 pounds, this neees.
STATED the importation during that year OF
nearly 300,000000.
"This dependence on foreign sources Tor an
essential commodity which we coula very we"
produce ourselves is serious enough IN tme
Of peace. but in time of war might be ais
sstrous II we were blocksded by foreign
power, as Germany is to-day, we wonIu not

there is no substitute. We are not blockaded
now, but We are at war and need greatly
increased supply Of wool for military fabrics
while at the same time our foreign supply
has been greatly curtailsd."
The latest issue of "The Sunset Maya
zine" with an article by A. II. Harris, on
1.-THE Golden Fleece" similarly shows "why
most Of us will wear less wool and eat
less mutton" in the near future.
