Jacksonville feature Of the legis'
lature last week was the unanimots
passage by the senate OF the ln1unc-
ton and Abatement act, outlawing
houses Of i'll fame.
The galleries were filled with wo-
men during the brief discussion, led
by Senator Wilmington, the author.
Credit for the passage OF the bill
is largely due to Mrs. c. H. Alex
ander, OF Jackson, representing the
various women's organizations of the
state.
The Wilmington constitutional
amendment to change section liz by
providing for a classified property
tax, failed TO received the required
majority. Motion to reconsider was
entered. The senate also voted down
a Joint resolution seeking to place a
a limit on pension and common school
appropriations.
Mr.. Anderson Of Washington, intro,
dvced a resolution providing for an
investigation OF the centennial prof.
| ect by a committee armed with plen-
ary powers, and make a report there.
on.
The speaker took the floor, as an
ex-officio member of the commission,
and delivered himself Of a lengthy
statement backing up every act Of the
commission. He said he favored an
investigation Of its affairs, however.
and launched into a statement OF the
work now being done by the govern
ment. He said the commission now
felt that the exposition would never
be held at the plant as now built. Mr.,
Conner, among other things said none
of the state money was used to pay
salaries and that 5000 to $1,000 was
to the credit of the state fund now.
The cenate, after a brief debate,
passed the bill carrying an aspropri-
alton of $685. 900 per year for supper.
Of the Soldiers Home at Beauvoir,
and several items for repairs and i'm
provements. Senator Miller was I'M
successful in his effort to limit salar-
les to $3.50 per month, and the bill as
originally framed by the committee
was adopted,
After the house had voted to ad.
journ March 9, the senate voted t,
adjourn March 16.
II am as anxious to get through and
go home as anyone else in the legia-
lature," declared Senator Whiting
ton, But / want to see the work Of
the session so handled that we will
run no risk of being called back into
extraordinary session, which would
be the case II we don't finish up il
one sitting"
A compromise was ultimately reach
ed on amendment offered by Senator
Boggan to make the date March 16.
A feature Of the week was the
sending of a special message TO the
legislature by the chief executive, in
which Gov. Bilbo urges consideration
Of an increased executive contingent

which cannot be disputed, that it Is
simply impossible to meet the coming.

FRENCH POTATOES
TAKEN BY GERMANY
ONE OF SERIOUS LOSSES OF
SPRING OFFENSIVE WAS IN
POTATO LANDS,

One of Frances greatest losses II
the enemy's spring offensive has beef
10000 acres Of land planted with pota
toes by her soldiers behind the lines
Germany announces this capture t,
the German people with as much &C
claim as If each one of these acres hat
been gun, for Germany does not hav,
to be told the value Of potatoes. Sh,
herself has reduced potato production
to such a science that with less thar
one-tenth our area she produces five
times as many potatoes as we do II
the United States!
Nevertheless, with this immense DO
tato supply, she doles out her potatoes
to her people, afraid that they viii
waste this valuable vegetable If she
allows them to have too many at 6
time on hand.
Potatoes vs.. Bread.
Last winter in Berlin the potato ra.
ton per week per capita was Z pounds
1OR ounces Until the possibility OF
getting rich wheat supplies from Rus
STA opened up, there was considerable
agitation throughout Germany for a
larger potato ration, for the German
hausfrau knew if she could put plenty
Of potatoes on her table her family
would never miss the lack of bread.
In recent potato bulletin gotten out
by the English food ministry the fol-
lowing suggestion and recipes are CIV
en- to the patriotic English housewife.
They are equally applicable, however.
to American housewives who are pa
triotically making potatoes figure more
prominently on their tables than ever
before in order to do with less bread.
Never Peel spuds.
Potatoes" this English potato bull
letin warns. SHOULD never be peeled
before cooking. Everyone who peels q
potato today is doing an unpatriotfc
thing in wasting the nations food and
is directly helping the U-boats to
starve us out.
The best part Of the potato lies
next to the skin and even thin peel
ing wastes three to four ounces in
every pound. Potatoes should, there
fore Except for such dishes as Irish
stew always be boiled in their skins.
If baked in their jackets a layer of the
best part sticks to the skin, and is usu.
ally wasted"
The bulletin also urges the English
housewife who must put up lunches for
her children or husband to eat awav
from home to use cold cooked potatoes
in her sandwiches in place of bread.
The following is one of the most
popular recipes taken from this Eng.
fish potato bulletin:
~ IDS. colo cooked OF. margarine
potatoes - OF. grated cheese
IA pint milk Salt and penner
Mash the potatoes and mix In the cbeese prt
