MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD
Real Treasure Of Peru Was the Po.
tato, Though spaniards Did
Not Realize II.

The gold Of the Indies was the at
traction that led Columbus to sail
westward. that carried Cortez to Mex.
leo and Pizarro to Peru. The Incas
had large stores of the precious metal
representing. no doubt, the accumula'
lions Of many centuries. The capture
Of such booty resounded through
Europe. Spain became for o time the
wealthiest. as well as the most pow
erful. nation Of Europe, and this was
ascribed to the gold Of Peru.
But Peru held another treasure
much more valuable for the nations Of
Europe than the golden booty Of
Pizarro. Carrying the potato to Eu.
rope was an event Of much more pro
found Significance In relation to the
subsequent history OF the world than
sending the Inca gold to the Golfers
Of Spain. But nobody understood the
value Of the potato, and Its Peruvian
origin was generally forgotten before
the plant became well known. In.
stead Of Peruvian potatoes we call
them Irish potatoes.
The potato was the basis Of the
ancient Peruvian nation and has at.
tained almost the same importance In
other parts of the world within the
last 100 years.-Nationa Geographic
Magazine.

PENN STATES SENIOR CLASS
TO BUY LIBERTY BOND.

The senior class at the Pennsyl-

about $500 WORTH of Liberty Loan
bonds instead of spending the money
for a class memorial to ornament
the campus. This decision was made
too day at a meeting of the gradual
ing class.
For the last twenty years. each
outgoing class has given it's rebate
from the college damage fund for
the purpose of leaving a substantial
memento. The boys of 1918 de-
cided the government needed the
money to fight Germany more than
the campus needed an imposing

A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is 1t?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are, taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement; IT
is startling fact, the truth of which
any honorable physician will not deny
These thousands of people are swal-
lowing daily huge quantities of pepsin
and other strong digesters. made es-
pecially to digest the food in the
stomach without any aid at all from
the digestive membrane of the stom-
ach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for a few
weeks they build up the rundown
stomach and make it strong enough
to digest its own food. Then indiges-
tion, belching, sour stomach and head
ache will go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by II. C.
X Kennedy, who guarantees them.-Ad-

would result in their remaining on

of potatoes last year and the Food
Administration is trying to help out
those farmers who still have sup

Not only does he describe his escape

his way under the electrified wire
