Food Value of Potatoes.

The minerals found in potatoes are
calcium, phosphorus and iron. Due to
the minerals basic reaction results in
the body. The mineral matter is rich
potash salts. The amount of protein is
not large but a larger amount of
potatoes is eaten probably than any
other starchy vegetable. The starch
granules are easily broken up by
thorough cooking. The cellulose of
the potato stimulates peristalsis and
carries off waste material.
There is sufficient water in a potato
to make the starch grains swell and
burst during baking hence this is one
of the easiest and best methods of pre-
pairing because none of the nutrients
are lost. If the potato is to be boiled.
place it in boiling water and not in
cold, as by the latter method the po-
tato is more apt to become soggy. A
potato that is allowed to stand in hot
water likewise becomes soggy. Pour
water off the potatoes the moment
they are cooked. The insoluble starch
becames soluble when cooked suffi-

ering in the lobby and to heckle
speakers, may find their way to
the District courts in the form Of
damage suits, according to wide
spread rumors today.
While the possibility of filing
suits against the management Of
the apartment house was being
generally discussed, the Tenants
League issued public statement,
in which the organization stated
it "emphatically protests against
the attacks made upon tenants
and upon the press" by Lowe and
others at the Sixteenth Street
Mansions meeting.

Protest likewise was made against
the Efforts Of loves assistants to
howl down Mr.. Henry C. Brown
speaker for the Tenants League, at
the meeting.
The statement declared that
proper steps had been taken to in
sure the right Of the tenants to use
OF the lobby, and a written com.
munication from the District Com

The statement ended with an In
vitation to the public to attend the
mass meeting to protest against
exorbitant rents, in Central High
School auditorium. Saturday night.
This meeting, the statement says,
:will be orderly and unmolested."
Mrs. Brown said today she had
not heard Of any proposed court

interested to know If such steps
were being taken Several tenants
at the apartment house were ques-
toned on this score, but all said
they had nothing to say on the
subject. Still, the rumors per-
sisted.
