Much Abused Coffee,

A prominent medical writer in an
article How to Keep Well says:
Coffee relieves fatigue by stimulating
the brain, the spinal cord, the muscles.
the heart and the kidneys. 1t doesn't
merely benumb the tired feeling; it en-
ables the body to eliminate the poisons
that cause the tired feeling Coffee is
not moral menace. 1t makes for So
ciability.
''It is food as well as drink as ordi.
narily taken with sugar and cream. In
all our private and hospital experience
we have never encountered an in
stance in which dyspepsia. nervous
ness or any other ailment was reason
ably attributable to the moderate and
habitual use of coffee as beverage.

deny themselves this boon because of
some fancied or educated fear that it

The Value of the Potato
AS a Human Food Material

There is no food which exactly takes
the place of the potato when one is
accustomed to it, says a statement is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture, urging an increased con-
sumption of this vegetable now that
the markets of the country are we'll
supplied. 1t has come to be such a
part Of our dinner that I'VE miss it
when it is not served. Besides, any
leftover potato can be used in many
very palatable ways for breakfast or
supper, and this is a convenience from
the housekeeper's standpoint, since 1t
helps her to make acceptable meals.
Not only is it useful from the ease
with which it can be prepared and the
number Of palatable ways in which it
can be served. but 1t is very important
for the food material it supplies. 1t is
one Of the most wholesome sources of
starch and is also fairly rich in the
mineral matter which the body needs.
or the mineral salts one must not over.
look the Importance of the mild al
kaline salts it contains, because these
are greatly needed by the body to coun-
terbalance the acid salts which meats
and eggs produce when. assimilated.
In this we have a justification of the
use of potatoes in the diet in liberal
quantities and of our common custom
Of serving them with meats. When
the price permits potatoes should by
all means be made a part of the diet.
