POTATO WAR IS NOW.
THREATENED IN ENGLAND
Dearth of Tubers on the Market
Sends Prices Skyrocketing.
Lloyd George Intervenes.

Premier Lloyd Georges Intervention
In the potato crisis Is regarded as an
eleventh hour effort to avert the po-
tatO war which has been threatening
for some time In England. Lloyd's
Weekly News says that people every
where are discontinued over the dearth
and dearness Of potatoes, while retail
ers are rebellious and refuse to sell at
the price fixed by the comptroller.
Serious famine exists In virtually all
the large Lancashire towns, particu-
larly Manchester. The usual weekly
output from the Ormskirk district OF
Lancashire is between 5000 and 1900
tons, but this month not 100 tons have
been sold by retail, yet It Is estimated
that there are more than 10000 tons OF
potatoes within q ten mile radius Of
Ormskirk.
Acting under orders from Dublin,
the police Of ireland visited the mar
kets at Drogheda, Middleton, Limerick
and elsewhere and ordered the farmer
sellers not to charge more than shil-
ling for fourteen pounds Of potatoes.
The Weekly Dispatch says that the
potato famine Is due to the nonarrival
Of stocks on the market, owing to the
alleged Withholding Of stocks by farm
ers for better prices.

Substitutes For Meat That
Have Same Food Value

Meat is always high priced and es-
pecially so now, says Miss LeOnOra
Richards, assistant in domestic science
In the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege. There are many foods which
have the same nutritive value as meat,
and these may be used as meat substi-
tutes.
Baked beans, cheese fOndu, macaroni
and cheese, baked rice and cheese,
cheese souffle, corn and cheese souflie,
and rice with lentils may be served
as substitutes for meat and are much
cheaper in preparation. Eggs are an
excellent meat substitute and may be
prepared in a variety Of ways. but
their present high price is prohibitive.
Persons who cannot eat without meat
should buy the cheaper cuts, such as
flank steak, rump and chuck roasts,
heart, liver and chuck steak. These
cuts contain the same amount of nu-
triment as the more expensive cuts.
but are not SO tender. In order to
make the cheaper cuts of meat palata-
bic they should be cooked slowly at a
low temperature. Stewing is prefer
able. Seasoning with highly favored
vegetables and spices improves the
flavor.

Tire Saving Device.

An ingenious device consisting OF a
magnet carried in front Of each Of the
two forward wheels Of an automobile
and in close proximity to the ground
has Just been invented, according to the
Popular Science Monthly. 1t will pre-
vent the puncturing Of pneumatic tires
by automatically picking up magnetic
particles such as chips Of metal, tacks,
nails and the like.
The magnet is pivoted to the front
end Of an extending arm attached to
the front axle wheel spindle, SO that
it will swing with the wheel during
steering and always remain in front
of It.

The militant suffragists, who have
been picketing the White House for
the last month, have announced that
5000 fair pickets will be placed around
the executive mansion on Inauguration
day to fiaunt banners in the face of the
president.
This decision will be carried out in
spite Of the disapproval voiced by a
meeting Of members of the National
Woman Suffrage party.
"Fast" colors only are desired for
decorations for the Inauguration. The
committee on decorations has made
this plain in letter which 1t has sent
: to merchants who sell cloth for dec
orative purposes and to professional
decorators. Colors that are apt to
"run" In event Of rain are not wanted,
for the committee wants to safeguard
against the Disagreement Of buildings
The letter Of the committee says In
part:
1T is desired by the committee on
street decorations that materials with
fast colors be used in decorating
buildings, stands and homes during
the inaugural week.
"In the event of inclement weather,
which is apt to occur during the end Of
February and the first week Of March,
this will prevent the washing down OF
colors and destroying the appearance
of the many decorative features.
"If it be found difficult to have on
hand for sale any Of the above 1t is
suggested that plain, unbleached cot
ton cloth be used for covering the
stands, balconies or platforms and
that laurel rope garlanded with flags
and shields be used in this connection.
Red, white and blue strands of cheese
cloth, If the colors are fast can be
adopted and. draped over the cotton

Major General Hugh L. Scott, grand

his adjutant general, Brigadier General

their preparations for the event with
out regard to the possibilities of war.
General Scott rendered command Of
the veteran division to w. J. Patterson
Of Pittsburgh. commander In chief Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic, but
Mr.. Patterson replied that he would be
unable to attend the inaugural cere-
monies and suggested the appointment
Of A. J. Huntoon, department COM

marshal Of the veteran division. That
advice was followed. Commander Pat
