Even at this time with the war

comes, the amount Of construction OF
industrial plants generally will be
large This applies both to France and
Belgium.
IN France alone, along the battle
front, more than 400 factories have beer

fish and like foods to create acid con-
ditons. Since the body does its work
BEST when its condition is either neu-
trail or slightly alkaline. potatoes. like
most vegetables, perform an important
function in the diet besides furnishing
energy-producing material. This SCI
entific fact justifies the custom that is
prevalent in many families Of serving
a goodly supply of potatoes or other
vegetables with each helping Of meat.
Potatoes, however, while a valuable
addition to mixed diet, alone are not
suited to meet the needs Of the body
because Of their poverty in proteins
and fat. OF these latter important ele-
ments protein is furnished in meats,
foods, and fat in butter. bacon, table
oils. and the fats and oils used in cook
cry.
Preparing Potatoes Which Have Been
Kept Over From Winter.
Greater care than commonly is exer-
cised should be taken in peeling pota-
toes. Very often 20 per cent of the
potato is pared away. This results not
only in the waste Of considerable po-
tato but also in the loss of one Of the
most valuable portions of the tuber
since the soluble mineral salts are
present in the material near the skin,
which would be removed and thrown
away. These salts can be preserved
by a more careful removal Of the skin,
as by shallow pairing or rubbing. and
also by boiling or baking the potatoes
in their Jackets.
Pairing before boiling, however, may
be the most desirable method of cook
ing potatoes which through an undue
exposure to light may have acquired a
bitter taste, or those which have been
kept until late in the spring, since in
this way more of the disagreeable fla
vor is eliminated. Such potatoes may
also be soaked before cooking.
While these methods may be desir-
able with potatoes which have been
exposed to light, they result in the
loss Of considerable food value with
out compromising advantages when
applied to new or well-matured pota-
toes. Ii such potatoes are boiled after
pairing, they should be dropped into
boiling water instead of being placed
on the stove in cold water. BY the lat
ter method there is twice the loss of
protein, or tissue building elements,
resulting from the former. The loss of
mineral matter is about the same by
each method There is no loss of
starchy material in boiling unless por-
tons of the tuber break off.
Practically the only loss when pota-
toes are baked in their skins is of the
water which escapes as steam. The
more or less common custom of prick
ing holes in the skin OF baked pota-
toes or breaking them is explained by
the fact that unless the steam which
is formed inside the skin is allowed to
escape it will change back into water
and produce sogginess.
Special Considerations
Potatoes which have turned green
and sprouting tubers have present a
considerable quantity of solanin, an
acrid poisonous substance which,
though not dangerous in the quantities
ordinarily met with, gives disagree
able flavor. 1t is best, therefore, to
avoid such potatoes or to cut out
green or SprOuting DOrtiOnS.

PATHOS OF GREAT WEALTH.

II is not matter Ot common knowledge that Mrs. Cha5 A. Strong, wife Of professor in Co- lumbia college and eldest daughter of JChn D. Rockefeller, died in
 ane, haunted with the delusion that she was in direst poverty. At tir es she would search the garbage barrel for crustS of bread for the servants supper, and dyed and re- made her clothes and those of her children over and over again. No amount for effort on the part of her relatives was atle to remove this delusion from the luxury crazed creatures mind. It is said that at one time her father drew from the bank one million dollars in thousand dollar bills and showed them to her but she only stared at them vacantly. She was finally taken to France ir the vain hope that she would find relief from her malaGy and died there still insane.

Collectivsm is the foundation of true democracy.
 Al railroads, telegr2ph5, steel factories. all mineral and metal mines-au important industries can and should be immediately na- tionalized. Private ownership of the country's most potent resour- ces should not be tolerated by "a government of the people by the people and for the people"
