HAS GOOD WORD FOR PARSNIP
Writer Declares Vegetable, Which
Seemingly Has Few Friends, Ranks
High Among Root Foods.

The parsnlp seems TO have few
aristoeratic friends and few poets
have sung Its praises, yet the good old
parsnlp continues on IFS way without
encouragement. In conversation, one
INars a good deal about corn, wheat,
potatoes, rye, oats, tomatoes, cauli-
Hover, arrfchokes and beets, yet some
how, few persons discuss the parsnip.
This old vegetable was popular with
pioneer Americans-the forebears or
so many Americans who now look on
the parsnip as too plebeian for the
table. There can be no doubt about
the antiquity of the parsnip and there
ought TO be no doubt about its re-
spectability. Itwas cultivated by the
Romans long before they entered upon
their career of world conquest and
world government.
The Romans ate this simple and
hardy vegetable during that period
when they were masters of the world,
and in their decline they continued TO
serve the parsnip. 1t was once wild
plant, like most, or all, the fruits and
vegetables that grow In orchard, field
and garden. 1t is still found in its wild
state along the roadsides and in waste
places throughout Europe and tenn
perate Asia, and it has many wild re-
lations in the United States.
OF the food value of the parsnlp
DR.. Wiley has said: "Most nutri-
tious of all root crops except satisfy.
Carbohydrate content 1917 per cent,
nearly as high as the potato and more
than twice as high as beets, carrots or
turnips."
Friends of the parsnip contend for
It's hardness. Persons who claim TO
be acquainted with its habits say that
it will flourish III any reasonably deep
soil, and will, under favorable condi-
tons, yield a heavier crop than any
other root.
Some experience Is required in pre-
pairing the parsnip for the table, but
this may be said OF all other vegeta-
bles. The parsnip which has been
first boiled and then baked until there
is brown crispness about the out
side. Is that parsnip which is in great
est favor with those persons who eat
parsnhs.

Candy From Sweet Potato.

BY roundabout process the sweet
potato is to be turned into an impor-
tant raw material for the candy-mak-
err. The sWcculent southern tuber is.
Of course, first turned into strip, and
the candy follows in due course; for,
contrary 70 the usual belief, not all
candy is made from sugar, sirups form
ing an appreciable part of the sup
plies. The increased use Of the sweet
potato will be boon to the not too
prosperous southern farmer. as il will
enable him to diversity and rotate
his crops, and If the cotton or to-
bacco crop Is bad will tend to equalIze
the losses, for sweet potatoes are
easily grown. The molasses factory
will take the sweets" and turn them
into syrup, giving the farmer a much
higher profit from his crop. The
factories will be located In sections
where The sweet potato Is most easily
grown, and this will give the farmers

PIG Reported Dead
Following Wreck
Off Spanish Coast

MADRID, Jan. 1.-Two hundred
and fourteen persons lost their lives
when the Spanish steamer Santa
Isabel was wrecked near Villa Gar
cha Saturday night, says a telegram
received here from the governor of
Pontavedra. Fifty-six persons were
saved, but many of them were in
jured. Captain Munzi Ricueldi, the
captain of the vessel, was severely
hurt, and it is not expected he will
recover. Many bodies have been
washed ashore, and in several cases
whole families were drowned.
Among the saved was an infant
three years old, whose parents are
believed to be drowned.
Latest dispatches from Cadlz
say that the ship was driven on the
rocks during a terrific storm, and
the large. number of deaths is at
tributed to the fact that the pas
sengers had been confined to their
cabins because of the violence of
the tempest, many of them being
asleep.
The majority of those rescued
from the steamer were unaple 10
speak on being landed. owing to
thei grightful experiences during the

disaster occurred at 1:45 o'clock

CLOTHES HEATED
BY ELECTRICITY
SAVED AIRMEN

MATTTCE, Ont, Jan. 5.-Electrical-
Nv heated garments preserved the
lives of the three american navy
airmen. lost in the Canadian wilds,
when they Numbered through the
snow and ice seeking help after their
balloon descended near Moose Fac
tory according to indians who ar
rived here today.
Were it not for these electrically
heated garments, the frozen corpses
of the three Americans might now be
lying in tn ewhite wilderness north
of here. and the chances are they
never would have been found.
The Americans, battling their way
back to civilization with dog sledges,
are still four or five days travel dis
tant from this hamlet, populated by
forty-seven men and two women.
The weather IS mild. with a light
snow. not sufficient to imperil the
balloonists.
The story of the fight for life made
by the Americans, Lieutenants Wal
ter Hinton, Stephen A. Farrell and
A. L. Kloor, was told by G. w. Nc
Leod. the Indian foreman of the
Hudsons' Bay post at Moose Factory,
near which settlement the balloon
came down December IA, after its
flight from Rockaway Point, n. Y.
Mcleod is the man who brought out
the first word that the Americans
were safe, driving a dog team 200
miles to announce their arrival at
Moose Factory and file Hinton's tel
egram to the navy authorities.
Mcleod, a tall, handsome Indian,
who speaks perfect English, and
has a polished manner despite his
long years spent in the woods, was
taking his first train ride. He was
accompanied by two other Indians,
Sinclair Martin and Harlan Vincent.
All had stories to tell of the strange
men who came down out of the sky.
But Mcleod. being the easiest spoken,
did the talking.
