How Potato Flour is Made

"The process is entirely new" said
Mr.. Morgan. "Our opportunity to try
the experiment came through the dis
mantling Of the plant Of the Michigan
Starch Co. of our town, which gave us
the necessary starch machinery forth
with. The potatoes are unloaded by
water power from cars and bins and
are first washed and ground into pulp.
The pulp travels over starch sleeves,
and in this way about half of the star
chy substance of the potato is washed
out. This leaves the pulp so that it
can be pressed and dried with our
regular cider machinery. The pulp
is then cooked, which gives the flour
in this stage a yellow color. The
starch is saved and dried in the usual
way and the dry pulp and dry starch
are successfully mixed and milled by
-four machinery. The finished product,
while a trifie darker than potato
starch, which is being sold for flour,
has superior cooking qualities in that
it contains the starch, gluten and pulp
in a cooked form. Potato flour is the
most common of all European fiours
and our bakers have long imported it,
as a small portion of the product helps
to keep the bread moist. We concen-
trate one bushel of potatoes into eight
pounds of potato flour, which of itself
explains why it will go twice as far
as other fours. This flour has many
commercial advantages over other
fiours as it will keep for years if stor-
ed in dry place. Potato flour can be
used to advantage in all cooking and
baking"

Prescott Sees Great Future for Pro-
duct

One of the leading wholesale gro
GERS in Chicago has already bought
three carloads and the product is be-
ing successfully used in Grand Rap
ids. Food Administrator Prescott ex-
pressed his pleasure at the enterprise
of the concern, not only from an in
dustrial viewpoint but in the prospect
of opening a home market for thous-
ands of bushels of potatoes in the Ira
verse region.
"Potato flour has a double appeal
Just now" says Mr.. Prescott. ut is
our patriotic duty to encourage and
support every plan to use up our
Michigan potato surplus and as sub
stitute potato -four will go twice as far
as other flours because of the POSSIBLE
ities-of concentration and drying. Ger
many disposes of its immense potato
crop with these plants which today
is their best proof against starvation
It is war step in the right direction
so far as Michigan is concerned"

DOING WITHOUT WHEAT

Bread and milk make a meal; so
will mush and milk.
Bread and gravy go together; pota-
toes and gravy are just as nourishing
Toast and fruit are fine for breakfast;
but any other cereal with fruit will
stay the stomach effectively.
Gridle cakes, mullins, all sort OF
quick breads, can be filling and appe'
tlzing without any wheat.
After all, what we have to do is tt
eat less bread. Otter we eat it to con
vey other fool; we even use bread tt
push mouthfuls upon the ford.
There is one test. Wherever breat
is used for convenience, that is the
place to leave it out.
Habit tells us to use bread; the
body's needs tell us only to provide
sufficient nouishment and not let haiti
hinder us.
Changing our habits is none toe
easy. But it is no easy task to wiz
the war.
Going without wheat wherever WI
can is one thing we can do to win the
war-perhaps the largest contribution
we can make.

WATERWAYS AGAIN IN FAVOR
BY Imposing Increased Burden Upon
Railroads War Necessitates
More Transportation.

Transportation economy throughout
the drainage basin Of the Mississippi
river, which Is served by more than
$4,000 miles Of navigable waterways,
has passed through two distinct
periods, and is now entering a third.
First there was the raft, then the
temporary barge. and finally the great
steamboat, with its extravaganza and
waste, and the steam towboat and the
towed barges. The second period was
the advent of the railroad, which final
ly monopolized the valley transporta-
ton business, and starved the boats
into tho junk pile. Then came the war.
BY imposing an increased burden upon
the railroads, the war has necessltat-
ed the use Of additional means of
transportation. The third period,
which is just beginning, is a return to
the use of the waterways, and the
movement Of commerce along north
and south trade channels If least re-
sistance.

ENDORSE WILD GREENS
AS EFFICIENCY AID

East Lansing, May 22.-Spurn not
the heretofore despised pigweed-and
have a heart for the fragrant dandelion
and the wild mustard. Once thought
"weeds" by the animated, these and a
number of other wild greens have
been given clean bill of health by
the food specialists. :,
AEat EN-" these officials are adj
vising. eff your system is out OF
tune and you feel the need of change
of diet, don't forget the wild greens.
Eat 'em." Besides pigweed. dandeiion
and wild mustard, the food specialists
are also endorsing dock, pokeberry,
purslane, wild lettuce, lambs quarter,
sorrel and water cress.
"These green's" declares bulletin
from the department of home econo-
mics of M. A. c., deserve place in
the diet at this time of the year for
medicinal purposes. Iron is common
constituent of them, and in this or
ranic form is far more useful tonic

sCHHOL OF CANNING
lHi PLANNED FOR WOMEN

East Lansing, May PA school
of canning" will be one of the features
this summer of the Michigan Agricul-
tural colleges program FOR assisting
in the training of women of the state
for war work. The school, which Will
be held in the nature of short course
in food conservation for housewives
and housekeepers, will be offered by
the department of home economies Oh
M. A. C. and will be conducted in the
class rooms and laboratories OF the
women's buildings. 1t is intended, &C
cording to Miss Georgia L. White,

than that found in famous mineral
waters or in medicine. Other miner
ais, such as lime, which is Necessary
for building bones, are present also.
The large amount of water which
greens contain render them valuable
for flushing out the system, thus per-
forming the same service as the herb
teas of former years. We ought to
balance our diet also, so that we may
have a desirable algaline condition in
our blood and tissues. Greens help to
bring this about"

SIMPLE THINGS WORTH WHILE
Many Make Mistake, Of Thinking Hap
III piness Comes Only From Material
or Outward Conditions.

Why should you care to be pestered
with large bank account or distressed
by q house full of servants? asks the
Albuquerque Evening Herald, which
adds: Adam and Eve had neither of
these and they called their place Of
abode Paradise. Few people have
learned the secret of living well. Too
many think it depends almost wholly
on the condition of the pOcketboOk.
This Is most certainly mistake. Hap
piness Is not born of material or out
ward conditions 1t is largely the re-
suit Of purely mental process.
Amid the duller threads Of duty 1t
is well to weave one bright strand
Of deslres-it Is we'll to mix little
sunshine with your daily food. You
can soften the sound of cab and car
In the stony street by calling to men,
DRY birds song heard in the fields
on summer afternoon in childhood.
1t is sweeter to your soul-if you have
one-than is the railroad that you own
yourself.
Take a day off and go out to some
cemetery where you may reflect on
the brevity of life and the INSULT
cheney of things pertaining to the peck
etbo0k. 1t Is better that you go be-
fore it comes your turn to ride out
there In the big plumed car that never
hauls its load back again. Don't wait
until you own your private automobile,
but go while you are able to walk and
to think. From the dead you may
learn much of life. Scan all the vir-
tues inscribed upon all the headstopes
by loving hands-and among them all
you will not find recorded the posses
sion of a million dollars or a locked
tail horse or a brownstone palace or q
12-cylinder car or a handsome" ward
robe.
No! The headstones usually tell
you only of those things worth while.

AGAINST THRIFT STAMP COMB.
NATION SALES

"Must Not BE Used to PrOmOte BUY

Sales Of wheat -four or wheat pro-
ducts and sugar in any sort OF combi-
nation or offer with thrift stamps is
contrary to the rules and regulations
of the United States Food Admins
tartion, according to statement by
G. A. Prescott, Federal Food Admin
istartor for Michigan.
"The food administration is encour-
aging the same of thrift stamps, OF
course" said Mr.. Prescott, "but the
regulation against any combination to
stimulate the sale of wheat flour or
wheat products and sugar, is too well
established to admit of any variation
or modification, even for so worthy a
cause. Absolutely no combinations,
bonuses or other devices for simulat-
ing the, sale of these staples will be
countenanced by the food administra-
ton"
