Dehydration Plant Has a
Capacity of One Ton of
Potato Flour Per Hour

All potatoes for the United States
army in Europe are shipped dried or
dehydrated. A newly installed deny
dration plant at Idaho Falls, Idaho,
has passed a successful run in potato
flour making. 1t has a possible ca
pacity of ton of very fine potato
flour per hour.

tato growers. The slogan of the Po-
tato Association of America is for a
Billion bushels of potatoes in 1919.
The forecast of the bureau Of crop
estimates indicated for the United
States this year 3S4 ,453,000 bushels.
The yield in the United States for 1917
was 443,OOO,OOO bushels.
If potato flour in the United States
only replaced 1 per cent Of the wheat
flour, it would take 32,450 carloads of
loatoes to furnish this supply. In
stead of 1 per cent, why not furnish
10 per cent of the potato flour sub
stitute for wheat?
A large amount of potato starch is
used in the textile industry.

SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.

notes the New York Herald. has our
slang become so famous that our Brit.
lsh cousins have not been ashamed TO
welcome it to their more carefully
guarded preserves of English speech.
The academic mind contributes moth
ing to this gradual development of the
language. 1t is from the lower orders
OF society that slang is derived. Many
OF the phrases long since incorporat.
ed in the mother tongue came from
the gaming table, the race track and
even the underworld of crime, and it is
interesting to trace them to their
source. The word "dope" and its deri-
vations, now in common use, sprang
from the opium joint.
Nicknames, which are a species of
slang, are thrown in helter-skelter
fashion at our public men, but it is
only when apt in their characterized
ton that they stick. The crown prince
OF Germany has been called many
names, for the most part uncompli-

plan, however, which put music into
everyone's reach, and the arrival in
inexpensive form of the monograph,
proved too much for the hand organ
lists, and for the last five years they
have been in retirement. Where they
went and what they did in their re-

to where they stored their hand or

could have disclosed much on the sub

Possibly the war also has had some
thing to do with the changed dress of
the women proprietors. I remember
that they were remarkable for gaudy
colors, rainbow scarfs and vivid hand
kerchiefs. The returning ones, how
ever, are more sober in rainent, most
or them running to severe black.
There is nothing subdued in the music,
though, for the hand organs are all for
the stirring tunes of the army. IN
