Joins in the conversation, so far as his
vocabulary permits He is always
popular, and is the guest of honor al

common sight to see several dough-
boys gathered around the village
washing place.
Now and then some "natural-born
lady killer" Is allowed to scrub few
clothes for a pretty French damsel.
These chaps are the envy Of the com
pany, and incidentally they are the
ones that the French girls think
would make good husbands
Probably they would. though they
might not then make good washer
men.

an American soldier doesn't know
about washing clothes will not be
worth knowing. if this war lasts many
m onths more.
Not that the doughboys are taught
Laundering, or have to wash their
clothes, either. Thereby hangs a tale.
The villages Of northern France,
where many Americans are serving,
do not have all the newfangled mod
ern Improvements, such as laundrfes
and washingmachines. so common in
America. If they did have them, the
new tangled things probably would
not be used, because their operation
would require more new-fangled

NOTHING could be better as diet
~ prescription for the whole country
than Mr.. IIoover's injunction TO eat pota-
toes In place Of bread.
Cereals. as shown by Bunge years
ago and by sherman, OF Columbia, more
recently, contain an excess Of acids As
these acids accumulate in the body, In
somnia, neurasthenia, finally Brights
disease and other chronic maladies, In
cluding premature old age, mako their
| appearance.
Meat contains four times as great an
excess as wheat. which contains more
acid than common rice.
II is thus plain that a diet OF wheat
ana meat or bread and beef Is In a
high degree calculated TO breed dis
ease.
The scarcity OF beef and wheat should
not be looked upon as calamity, but a
| blessing.
Less meat and less wheat will help
TO clear the acid out of tho tissues Of
our gouty and rheumatic tissues and
to raise general vital resistance to dis
case.
The average German has been trained
| from boyhood to eat potatoes, and con-
sumes four times as much as the aver
age American. A somewhat celebrated
Danish athlete lived exclusively on pO-
tatoes with q little fat for more than
year, and performed prodigious tasks
on the athletic field and in the harvest
! field.
Three pounds of potatoes. two ounces
of butter or other fat, and a pint of
milk will supply everything needed by
the average man for complete nutrition.
4 man doing very haru work would need
| TO add two or three pounds more pota-
| toes
| The potato is chiefly starch or carho-
| hydrates. the best kind of fuel food the
/ element needed to maintain the energy
of the body and 20 keep it warm
/ This remarkable vegetable also con-
tains a fine quality of protein, the blood
| and muscle building element, a partic-
/ ular in which it is superior to other
vegetables.
/ But the potato Is lacking in lime and
/ In fat so these must he supplied by
milk, green stuffs. butter or other fats.
/ The potato is rich in alkaline salts,
which are of high value as a corrective,
. neutralizng the acid wastes of the body,
and thus serving as preventive of Kid
ney disease, hardening of the arteries
and other senile changes.
