n TUCH has been said, but not enough,
M concerning the food value of the
A'S potato. When first began the
study Of dieteties read Of the great famine
in ireland. learned that the Irish people
had little to eat except the potato. This
was the only food product which the Irish
produced in quantities sufficient for do
nestle use.
At the same time learned that the DO
tato was essentially . starchy food and
that starch alone was q poorly balanced
diet ] wondered why L had read no &C.
counts Of the irish Ia 9 half starved con-
ditiOn suffering from sourvy and other diet
diseases.
BY the advance Of dietetie knowledge I
now understand why the irish did so well
on q very incomplsts quantity Of food and
that presumably Of very imperfect char
acter.
Modern dietetics have shown the true
value Of the potato. Il is true that there Is
q slight excess Of starch IN its composition
and q great deficiency Of fat This is on.
set on the other hand by . considerable
quantity Of very satisfyins protein and q
large quantity Of nssdful mineral sub
stances and growth factors
When one has nothing TO live on but
potatoes, and these in insufficient quantity
to satisfy hunger, he never throws away
the skins. The 1riah, WHO were always
hungry during the famine, ate the potato
in its entirety and thus secured its maxi
mum dietetic effect
The average ripe potato has the follow
ing composition:
Water, 7s.3 per cent; protein, % per
cent; carbohydrates (chisny starch), 1874
per cent; fat, lilo Of per cent; ash, 10
per cent. The number Of calOries per
pound is 3s5.
The potato has such large percentage
Of water that It may Be ciassed as a succu-
lent vegetable. II the potato be reduced
In moisture to the same content as wheat
(namely, - per cent? It would contain al.
The Washington times., 1918-06-02

most as much protein as wheat ITSELF YeH .
would ind In the potato reduced to the.
same content Of moisture as wheat more
than three times the mineral matters con-
tanned in wheat
The minerals Of the potato difIer very
essentially from nose Of wheat The prius
cipal mineral Of wheat Is phosphoric acid;
the principal minerals Of the potato are
lime and potash 80
From this II follows that diet consist,
ing exclusively Ct potatoes would not tend
to produce an acid condition Of the body
due to the accumulation Of phosphoric -
acid. Just the contrary would be the case.
A diet Of potatoes would maintain and
even increase the alkalinity Of the tissues
and the blood 50 necessary to the body's,
health.
l cannot commend too earnestly the in.
creased consumption Of the potato 1 do55
this because 1t would greatly promote 50
health. especially when the potatoes are
eaten with the skins. !.
At the same time, the natural lime and 2
potash which the potato contains would
act most faVorably IN preventing aciditx :
and in preserving aikalinity and avoiding
anemia. -
AS to the form in winch the potato is
eaten. it is not highly important has
much as one would not like to see potato
skins in the bread think it is advisable
to eat the potato BY itself ana the bread

The mixture Of the two foods In the
stomach Is quite intimate and the eater r
WIN get the advantage Of pure bread on +.
the one hand and pure potatoes on the "
other.
The only good reason for not mixing the
potatoes with the bread is that mentioned
above, namely, the loss of the valuable
constituents Of the skins.

Will lots Of water help or

Plenty of hot water and good
soap, followed by quick dashes Of
cold water, will help you. But as
this trouble often shows the need
of a blood and skin tonic you should
consult a physician II after some

blackheads do not become less.

lam far from thirty, yet nay
! hair, which is dark, is be-

causes this, and can l do moth

White hair, like hay, is caused by
lack Of coIoring matter in the shaft,
which then shows white from air
bubbles in it. You may find bene-
it from the use of an iron tonic
internally. Also try bathing the
hair in an infusion Of sage leaves.

This cream will never clog the
