SPOILED POTATOES GOOD FOR
STARCH

= Starch in potatoes is not destroyed
by the common decay producing fungi
or by freezing. 1t has been found in
recent studies conducted by the Uni
ted States department Of agriculture
in laboratory tests that it is possible
to recover most of the starch from
frozen and rotten potatoes, which
lead specialists of the department to
suggest that an attempt should be
made to salvage the great quantities
of spoiled stock now rejected and
dumped on the terminal markets.

They numbered some 1900 persons,

swarthy wayfsrers, according to an
old chronicle. were commonly known
as Eipsies or heathens. They said
they had been driven out OF Egypt.
Their clothing WAS miserable, but they
wore many ornaments of gold and all

Red Is the emblem of domination In
