Fuel Value of Potatoes
\ Higher Than of Any Other
of Fresh Vegetables Used

Potatoes contain all the different
substances needed for the body. Pro-
tein and minerals FOR growth and re-
pair; starch and fat for energy; and
minerals and roughage for body regu-
lation. A diet of whole milk and po-
tatoes is perfect; the fat and protein
of the milk supplement the small
quantity of these in the. vegetable.
The fuel value of potatoes is higher
than that of any other fresh vegetable
used, according to Lucy Cordiner of
the University of Minnesota.
Common methods used in the prep
aration and cooking of potatoes are
wasteful. When potatoes are peeled
and allowed to stand for an hour or
two in cold water they lose over half
the protein and one-third their min
erals. The peeling also takes food
with it. When cooking is begun in
cold water the loss is nearly as great.
Potatoes can be prepared with no loss
of food value if they be first blanched
by cooking in boiling water for ten
minutes, then plunged into cold wa
ter, and the skin rubbed or peeled off.
Cooking can be completed in any way
desired, baking, steaming or boiling.
A quick oven is essential for baking
and produces potatoes that are dry,
mealy and easily digested.
If the skin is pricked with a fork
toward the end Of baking they are
further improved by escape of steam.
Soggy, watery potatoes do not digest
easily and may cause gas.

son served. But somehow, the
thought of it seems to take the joy
out of the dinner prospect. There is
something more than calories in the
well constructed menu.
But it'may come to that. Every dish
that is broken in the kitchen brings
us nearer to the day. We have i'm
ported enormous quantities of crock
cry and glassware in the past, and
now our imports are cut off and our
domestic plants are handicapped by
shortage of labor, material and trans
portation. Napery is becoming in
creasingly scarce. The dinner of GER
emory is threatened at its founda-
ton. If we are reduced to using tin
plates and wooden bowls, we are
quite likely to accept one-dish mix
lures. This may simplify housekeep-
ing, but it will take a lot out of the
joy Of eating.

How to Detect Glucose in
Preserves, Jam, MarmaIade

Glucose in fruit preserves may be
discovered as follows: In the case of
jelly teaspoonful should be dissolved
in two tablespoonfuls of alcohol con-
tanned in glass vessel. In the case
OF jam or marmalade the same process
is carried out, but 1t is necessary to
filter off the solid matter by running
the mixture through piece of muslin.
Allow the solution 10 become perfectly
cool, and then add an equal volume, or
a little more, of strong alcohol. If
glucose is present dense white pre-
cipitate slowly settles down. Where
no glucose has been employed there
is no precipitate, save, in some cases,
very trifling sediment of proteid mat
ter which, however, is so small that it
could not possibly be mistaken for the
sediment which glucose produces. The
last-named is not particularly harmful
In itself, but it is very frequently used
as an adulterant In supposedly pure
preserves for extra proit-Popular

One Dish Dinners Reduces
Work to Minimum and Saves
Housekeeper Much Drudgery

Possibilities of the one-dish dinner
suggested by the United States food
administration will be studied with
especial interest by housewives who
frankly dislike domestic drudgery.
Anything that promises relief from
washing dishes is sure of friendly re-
ception.
But it remains to be seen whether
the plan to introduce new kind Of
emergency pemmican into our homes
will prove popular. The idea of the
food administration, observes the Port
land Oregonian, seems to concoct a
dish which shall combine the neces-
sary elements of food value and yari-
ely in one conglutinate mass.
In theory there is nothing to be
said against the official ''potted hon.

carrots, milk, -four, dried beef and fat

Moons Influence on Plant
Growth Wholly Negligible,
Is Belief of Scientists

The old belief that the moon has
some sort of influence on plant growth
still persists in some farming sec
tons Some farmers, it is said, re-
fuse, to plant crops or to kill hogs
unless the moon is in some particular
position.
The influence of the moon on the
tural operations, has always been de-
MED by scientific men. The following
brief statement by G. f. Marvin, chief
of the United States weather bureau,
printed in the Rural New Yorker,
shows what they think of the matter
ut is the general belief Of scien-
lists that the moon has no appreciate
influence on temperature, rainfall, or
any other weather element, or on
plant growth.
"Plant growth depends upon tenn
perature, light, humidity and plant
food Cloth in the soil and in the air.,
and it's availability. Obviously the
moon neither mellows the ground nor
fertilizes it, neither does it alter the
composition of the atmosphere; hence
it affects neither the mechanical con-
dition of the soil nor the kind or
quantity of available plant food.
eff the moon has any influence on
plant growth, 1t would seem that it
must exert this influence through its
light Experiment, however, shows
that when a plant is so ShadOWed that
it gets only one one-hundredth OF nor
NAL daylight, 1t grows but little bet
ter than it does in absolute darkness.
Full daylight is about 100000 times
brighter than full moonlight; hence
one one-hundredth of daylight, already
too feeble to stimulate appreciably
plant activity, is still 5000 times
brighter than full moonlight. The con-
clusion is that, even in respect to
light stimulus, the moons influence
on plant growth is wholly negligible"

No Connection Between the
Weather and Moons Changes

People who rely on the moon as a
weather indicator, writes a CORE
spondent in the London Chronicle,
must have very short memories, for
accurate comparisons prove conclu-
sively that there is no connection what
ever between the weather and the
moons changes Of phase.
Professor Schuster analysed whole
century's weather records, and, as a
result, was unable to trace any lunar
period in them. Several authorities are
agreed, however, that there is ten
dency for clouds to dispense as full
moon comes to the meridian of any
place; but it is a far cry from that to
the definite belief that the weather
changes with change of the lunar
phases.
These changes, of course, can be pre-
dicted for years in advance with per-
feet accuracy, and IL the weather de-
pended on them, weather forecasting
would be the simplest of all the sci
ences, instead of the most difficult.

Shooting Stars Date Back
Into the Prehistoric Times

Our knowledge of shooting stars ex-
tends into the Oldest history of human
ity, back into prehistoric times. Yet to-
day no one knows exactly what a
shooting star is, or from where 1T
comes, says the Popular Science
Monthly. A hypothesis proposed in
1876 and generally accepted today is
that meteorites are fragments broken
from small planetary masses by vol
canic explosions, brought about by
sudden expansion of gases, steam and
probably hydrogen. The broken bits,
after their separation, are believed to
arrange themselves in swarms which
cross the orbit of the earth in accord
ance with a definite law. Shooting
stars, then, undoubtedly come from
within our solar system and are .brok-
en- bits of world body destroyed by
volcanic events. Many meteorites have
been found in Arizona.

in a supply of gaudy-colored calico for
the wife and three or four pairs of

How Dust Causes Fires.

Spontaneous combustion is caused,
so the chemists tell us, by floating par
ticles of coal dust Or other infiammable
material jostling and clashing against
one another until the friction they set
up raises their temperature to the ig-
milton point, says Popular Science
Monthly. If this explanation is correct,
it would appear as if such fires could
be prevented by perfect ventilation.
Such, however, is not the case, for ven
tilation may actually help to bring
about fire by spontaneous combustion.
Air facilitates oxidation, really fan
ming the warm dust into blaze. Keep
air damp and quiet to avoid fire.
