WHY EAT POTATOES NOW?

Premier Lloyd George announces
that the retail price of potatoes is
limited to g cents a pound. $3.50
a bushel, until March 81, and then
$3.50 a bushel until June 30. In
Germany there is possibly two -fifths
Of crop. Prices here are rising
from 81 bushel, causing danger
cupldlty may market even the seed
potatoes and thus prolong the short
age.
At such prices the potato is not a
good food; 1t Is not at any price one
of the best. Civilized humanity ex-
isted without it for centuries, rising
to its zenith in potato-less old
world. Habit and convenience in
storage have led to over use.
The potato is three-fourths water
and not quite one-fifth starch, which
is its chief food substance, an excel
lent one for outdoor workers in severe
climate. 1t is less valuable for se-
dentary workers indoors.
Only one five-hundredth part Of the
potato is fat: 3 per cent nitrogen,
per cent sugar. These more valuable
substances are so slight that during
the famine of 1S47 Irish cotters
formed the habit of cooking potatoes
with bone in the middle"-that is,
under-cooking them, so that they
might. stave off hunger by delaying
digestion.
The housekeeper can help save seed
potatoes for the next crop and re-
duce the price for those who need
them, by ceasing to buy. There are
substitutes, of which rice nearly ap-
proaches the potato in value and de-
fects. st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
