Perfect womanhood depends on per-
feet health. Beuty and a good dis

aches, backache, nervousness and the
blues" For such suffering. women
find help in that famous old root and
herb remedy, Lydia f.. Pinkham's

lent for your body Delicious when
well cooked.
What They DO For Your Body
They are good fuel. They furnish
starch which burns in your muscles
to let you work, much as the gasoline
burns in an automobile eneinc to
make the car go.
One medium potato gives you as
much starch as two slices # bread
When you have potatoes for a meal
YOU need less bread. Potatoes can
save wheat.
They give you salts like other yese-
tables. You need the salts to build
and renew all the parts of your body
and to keep it in order.
Potatoes at Their Best

each cook before hiring him by ask
ing him to boil a potato Even the
best potato can be sroled by a poor
cook

potatoes into boiling sailed water and
cook 20 to 80 minutes. Drain the
water off at once. If they are cooked
too long or allowed to stand in the
water they get soggy.

cooking them you will waste time and
