ing-At Conference With OPP.
orators In New York w.
f.. Priebe Tells Views
Of Food Adminis-
tratiOn.


Hotel Aston last night there was
conference between w. F. Priebe,
representing the poultry and egg de-
partment of the Food Administration
and members of the poultry distribut-
ers. 1t was the most important meet
ing of the season.
Frozen poultry stored in the last
months of 1916 must be sold this win
ter. Owners of it cannot carry 1t
over beyon dthe time when the pack
ing of fresh poultry ordinarily be-
gins. This is brought out clearly in
an opinion by the legal department
of the Food Administration as quoted
by W. F. Priebe, in charge of the
poultry and egg division of the ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Priebe said that he had re-
quested the conference to make plain
just the intention of the Food Admin
istration. In addressing the meeting,
Mr.. PRIDE said, you ask my opinion
as to whether it would be legal I'M
der the Food Control Act of August
10, 1917, to carry poultry stored in
the months of 1916 over the present
winter until the summe rof 1918. In
my opinion, any attempt to carry over
this poultry beyond the time when
the packing of fresh poultry ordin'
arily begins is a clear violation of the
Act"
The poultry stored last year was
more than normal and over 80 per
cent still left in the coolers. No one
who stored it then expected to carry
it over into 1918. The distributors
because of high prices failed to sell
the normal amount of poultry. There
was at present he said over 100000
pounds Of frozen poultry in the rreez-
ers of which 100000 pounds were
turkeys. He impressed upon those
present that the Food Department
was not responsible for the law, that
it had been passed by Congress, and
It was the duty of the Food Admins
tration to enforce it.
The law specified no time in which
poultry can be held, but the legal de-
partment has said that all owners o.
poultry store din 1916 and the Win
ter CT 1917 would violate the law ii
they carried it into next year. He
said there was one-third of all the
turkeys that were stored at a high
price still in the freeZers and 1t was
the intention of the Food Admins
tration to force these turkeys into
consumption by Thanksgiving.
In view of the approach of the
Thanksgiving market for turgeys and
other poultry. the Food Administra-
ton suggests that owners and dis
Z tributors adjust their prices on frozen
poultry 80 that the product will move
into channels Of consumption at
once. II this is done II is thought
the greater part Of the turkeys will
move for the Thanksgiving require
ments.
Mr.. Priebe in explaining why held

poultry should be pushed into con-
sumption said that the Food Admin
istration looked at it much as a
housewife would who on going into
her pontry, found that she had a
largo supply Of some perishable line
food that unless consumed would de-
preciate. She at once begins to con-
sumo that line Of food, and in that
way gets rid of 1t, no matter what it
cost. The Food Administration
thought that the held poultry should
go into consumption, irrespective of
cost to make room for fresh killed
stock.-The Produce News.

DETHR0NING KING
POTATO
BY DR.. SAMUEL c. DIXON,
Commissioner of Health of Penn
syIvania.

The potato recently has been the
most advertised vegetable we have.
Its consumption far exceeds any other
vegetable made up of a large proper
! ton OF starch. Let US consider the
claims of the potato TO the high dignity
that has suddenly been thrust upon It,.
The human digestive system is lin
1 tied in its power TO digest properly
large quantities of starch. Americans
have made 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
often taken at a meal simply as mat
ter of habit when there are other
/ starchy foods and sugar in the meal
to supply the same want. causes a
! system thereby preventing the normal
working of the glands of digestion.
Gradually u diseased condition of the
organs of digestion results and this
prevents natures process of preparing
food for assimilation. Consequently
the system has 70 absorb the waste
products and n gradual starvation and
poisoning is the resulto The catarrhal
patient, in addition, gradually loses re-
sistance to germ diseases.
From babyhood and childhood up,
we Americans indulge In an excess of
starchy foods. A well-rOunded diet de-
mands starch along with meat and fat.
OF course but we indulge In an excess
of starch and the habit often continues
| through adult life.
Raw potatoes contain about 50 per
cent OF water, and In SHINING and
eying we lose on an average about 10
per cent OF the raw potato. The bak-
ing of potatoes causes less loss and
produces the most wholesome prepare
ton for human consumption that can
be made of the vegetable.
What does this suggest with the po-
tato In the limelight and its cost out OF
all proportion to Its real value? The
answer is that It's use can not only be
cut uoNH to uoIliul llIOpoIllou VI tilt
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 10 the 100
of starch and sugar (carbohydrates)
jellies and marmnlades. 60 To 90 parts;
rice, 10; buckwheat and barley, II;
homlny, 20; cracked wheat, 10; maca-
ronl and spaghetti, IA; raisins, GS;
oatmeal, ca; toast, Go; beans, 60;
bread. 80 TO 60; chocolate. 30; canned
peas, 81; dried peas, o..
In raisins the carbohydrates are
mostly OF the soluble variety known rs
sugars. In MI the other foods men
toned the carbohydrates present are
mainly starch.
With these things In mind, IL Is not
hard to think Of the potato being
knocked Off It's pedestal.
