POTATO COMBATS ACIDITY
CAUSED BY TOO MUCH MEAT
Ash Csnstitutents ef Potsto Gives Il
Advantage Over 6abstitutes Like
Rice aud Other Starch Foods

In popular discussions Of the nutri-
tive value Of the. starchy types Of
foods, emphasis is given to energy
values. Rice and other cereals are
spoken of as potato substitutes, and
80 may they be regarded from the
viewpoint of their fuel yielding nu-
tritive constituents. "But the potato
has the advantage over all cereals and
cereal products" says Miss Allison,
q Me Agricultural College, "In that
Il supplies certain ash constituents
which the body needs to correct the
acidity resulting from the use of too
much meat, eggs and cereals.
"The normal neutrality of body
fluids must be maintained for the body
does its work best when it's fluids and
tissues are neutral or slightly alkaline.
These certain ash constituents for
which the potato is valued, are to be
found in other vegetables and also in
fruits, yet because of the craving for
generous use Of a bland type Of
food, and one possessing that quality
which we designate as substance, rs
an accompaniment to meat, the potato
ranks first. It Is an interesting fact
that generous serving Of potato
supplies the necessary ash to correct
the acidity resulting from an average
serving Of meat.

CANNED FOOD OFTEN sol
CONTAIN DEADLY BACILLUS
The Olive is tie Carrier Fer the
Death. Dealing Germ. Other
Years Show II Was Some
Other Vegetable

Much has been written about bot
ulineus poisoning of late, and the facts
are briefly summarized BY DIR. Glover
of the Colorado Agricultural College,
as follows:
The bacillus botulinus and its toxic
products may be found in canned vege-
tables, meats or in spoiled food pro-
ducts. 1t Is suspected Of causing
what is known as forage poisoning"
in animals. There are two strains Of
the organism, the "olive strain" anA
the "cheese strain An effective sep-I
um has been produced, but the serum
of one strain will not be effective
against poisoning by the other strain.
Poisoning was first reported from
eating sausage. Then for q while it
was most frequently reported in cam
ned beans and asparagus. This year
il has been olives. It is found occas-
ionally in goods that have been home
canned and in goods that have been
packed by commercial establishments.
There seems to be no way Of prevent
ing It from happening occasionally, n
though, Of course, il the food is per-
fectly sterilized and the can properly
scaled, poisoning is impossible. Two
things stand out prominently in this
conectio. and IL observed, will prevent
poisoning in all cases:
1. Poisoning never OCCURS except
in spoiled food. There is always evil
dencc Of spelling; the bulging can, gas,
unnatural taste and odor. Discard
any, and all food that has the least
evidence of being spoiled.
2. Thorough cooking will remove
the possibility of danger from botu-
lism. We should not discard the use
of canned goods because of the oc-
casional cases Of poisoning, any more
than we should stop riding in an auto
mobile because of an occasional ac-
cident. There should be greater care
used on the part Of those serving the
food. to discard everything that is
spoiled. Not one package in million
is infected with bacillus botulinus, and
this one package can be detected, or in
case of doubt, should be thoroughly
cooked before serving, or what is
safer, discard it. Do not feed it to
chickens or other animals.

whlch train may pick up water with

is not very complete but he has
smoke spoken more of his mind than any
Bryan, who says he is not a candidate,
but is known to be a potential one.
and who has outlined complete
scheme for the rehabilitation of the
republic.
Mr.. Poindexter makes it clear in
diplomatic language that his attitude
toward Mexico is one which CarranZa
would find it hard to appreciate. He
believes that every necessary agency
OF the government should be used to
give complete protection to the lives
and lawful rights of American citizens
in Mexico" 1t may fairly be deduced
that a war with Mexico would be one
result of the election of the senator.
provided he could get congress and the
people to back him up.
tie likewise takes an uncompromis-
ing attitude toward the reds, and the
back o-Russia movement would
doubtless derive a new impetus from
his success. He is not in sympathy
with the effort of labor to gain its
legislative ends by striking and lobby
ing' and he is clearly not making a
bid for the labor vote.
Another point upon which he makes
himself clear is the part of the United
States in world affairs. He stands for
the return to isolation. He wants the
peace treaty passed. but stripped OF
its encumbrances," and he does not
believe in accepting any mandates, or
IN keeping American troops in Siberia,
Turkey. Germany. or anywhere else,
except, presumably at home and in
Mexico.
On the constructive side, Mr.. Poin-
deXter's statement is not so complete,
He does not say what he would do
about the railroads, for example, and
we cannot find any specific mention
Of the high cost of living in his pre-
liminary statement He says that he
would use surplus revenues lin a lib
eral extension of land reclamation, "
but he does not say how this reclana-
ton would be conducted, or upon what
terms he would make the reclaimed
lands available to citizens He says
that neither capital nor labor should
be allowed to boss the country, but he
does not propose any new working ar
rangement among these two elements
and the public. These omissions will
doubtless be repaired by Mr.. Poin-
dexter in the course of his campaign
for the Republican nomination. Mean
time his statement is frank and Cour-
ageous as far as it goes, and makes il
pretty clear where he stands.
