doubtcdly refers to the road that
leads from Nortons to Rock
Creek (as they mentioned the
Yaquina River) which is all in
Nashville District except about
one-fourth mile which is in the
Siletz District.
Hhis road was built mostly by
volunteer work and last year

pended on this road and the last
two winters / have sent a man

have not done as much work
on this rad this year as intend
ed on account Of the scarcity of
labor but the road is very favor
able compared with the other
roads. AS far as the Yaquina
road is cOncered, last year | do
mated every dollars worth of
work that was done on it and
this year | donated $4,000 worth
of work, which | think is more
than has been donated by the
Rock Creekers in the past ten

USE POTATOES
INSTEAD OF BREAD
Bread Must Be Saved-Potatoes Con-
tain the Same Nutriment.

Bread Must Be Saved-Potatoes Con-
tain the Same Nutriment.
How many potatoes are you eating?
This is question the Food Adminis-
tration wants every loyal American to
ask himself or herself. Strange as 1t
may seem, the eating Of potatoes at
this time Is practical war service,
according to a recent Food Admins
tration bulletin, which points out that
this nation now has large potato
surplus on hand and that this valuable
food, unless eaten within the next two
months, will be lost through sprouting
and rotting. BY eating Of potatoes
literally, every family can save sub
stantial amount OF other food, particu-
larly of wheat. By eating up the sur
plus Of potatoes the nation will also
prevent serious loss to the potato
producer, who needs to be encouraged
to grow maximum crops during the
coming year.
Domestic science experts have fig.
ured that: One ordinary baked potato
equals in nourishment one thick slice
of wheat bread.
Potatoes at one and one-half to two
cents a pound have more food value
than bread at ten cents loaf.
Potatoes are healthful They i'm.
prove the general tone of the system
by their wholesome action on the di.
gestive organs. They are easiest on
the stomach Of all vegetable foods.
They are easy on the kidneys because
Of the minimum of nitrogen they con-
tain. They are easy on the intestines
because Of the tenderness and small
proportion Of their cellulose and the
fine division Of starch. ,.
Potatoes are valuable In the diet of
the sick. They can be eaten with
benefit by people suffering from dys-
pepsia, anemia, diabetes. Bright's dis.
case. cardiac affections, intestinal
troubles, constipation, hyperacidity.
artiritis, gout, liver complaints, etc.
Always serve potatoes with meat" /"
concludes the Food Administration
bulletin. Never serve bread and po-
tatoes."
