Dates to Potatoes.
Farmer observers, who are aware
of Mr.. Nicoll's success, are looking
for a parallel, on much larger
scale, in the potato packaging cam
paign which, in the first full season
just completed, widely extended the
Maine potato market and returned
the highest prices in the country to
the growers.
Of considerable Importance is the
success of the campaign to the
$4,000 farmers in the q states in
which potatoes are principal crop.
The lowly spud provides nearly
$500, 10000 year in incomes from
the more than 100000, 900 bushels
produced each year.
Faced with a bumper crop and
the need of developing larger and
better market for Maine potatoes,
the Maine development commission
a year ago agreed to aid in a solu-
ton of the problem. The commits
sion was aroused by the reports of
a survey which showed that the per
capita consumption of potatoes
dropped from AZ bushels to 2.8
bushels between 1905 and 1885, due,
in part, to reducing diets" They
also found that Maine potatoes were
confined to markets in Massachu-
sets, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.
Spuds Go High-Hat.
Groups and individual growers
appeared before the Maine legisla-
ture in the spring of 1887 and
worked out a plan whereby they
volunteered to pay one-cent tax
on every barrel of potatoes shipped.

hot coffee. But it has been DEM
onstrated that just the opposite is
true. The coffee raises the tenn.
perature of the food in the stom-
ach and thus modifies the cooling
effect of the ice cream.
Another common question con-
Germs the effect of cake or pie
la mode. Experiments indicate
that eating ice cream with cake
or pie produces a more satisfac-
tory gastric juice than when either
of these foods is eaten alone. One
must take into consideration, how
ever, that cake or pie a la mode is
a rich combination and plan the
remainder of the meal accord
ingly.

A HeaIthful Food

1t then becomes apparent why
ice cream is considered as an
excellent food, not only for adults
but for children and GONZALES
cents, and why one outstanding
authority urges the liberal use of
ice cream as a means of increas-
ing the vitamin A content of the
diet.
Plain ice cream may be used in
terchangeably with simple milk
buildings. Rich mixtures, such
as those filed with nuts and crys-
tallized fruits, rank with the heart
Ter desserts and should follow a
lighter meal.
Ice cream is so rich in nourish-
ment that 1t should not be con-
sumed Unfortunately between
meals, but should always be con-
sidered as part of the days ra-
ton. When that is done, one nu-
triton authority states that its
beneficial effects can hardly be
overestimated.

HOMEMADE Ice Cream

An easy way to make certain of
the purity of the ice cream you
serve is to make this delicious
dessert at home. Motor-driven
freezers are available, as well as
those that are manually operated.
And the homemaker with an auto
matte refrigerator finds it easier
to make ice cream than to pre-
pare many less interesting and
nutritious desserts.
Ice cream powders which SIM
plify the preparation of home
made ice cream, can be obtained
unfiavOred, or in a variety of fla.
vOrs, including lemon and maple,
in addition to the popular vanilla,
chocolate and strawberry. The ice
cream powders may be used with
milk or a combination of milk and

Mrs. Nj. ]. B.-A baby Is born

nutritional anemia. Children and
adults also require a daily supply
of this blood building mineral. It
is estimated that 3 per cent of the
red blood cells are destroyed dali

struction, they must be completely

purpose, iron is necessary.
Mrs. F. G. L.-Yes, several
fruits are considered good

anges, grapefruit and figs. When
orange juice is included in the
diet, the retention of calcium is
greater than can be explained by
the amount of the mineral in this
fruit. 1t is thought possible that
the presence of vitarrlin c in or
anges may be responsible for the
beneficial results obtained.

Composition of Ice Cream

Ice cream is often regarded as
a CONNECTION, but it deserves to be
classed among our most nutritious
foods. 1t is composed of varying
proportions of cream, milk, sugar,
fiavoring and frequently a binder
or stabilizer such as gelatin. The
composition varies somewhat be-
tween the homemade and the
commercial product, and the COM
mercial product differs in various
states. That is because standards
governing the butter fat content
differ widely so that the require
ment ranges from to IA per cent.
Most large commercial companies.
produce an ice cream with about
II per cent fat.

The tax was to be paid by the

The proceeds were to go into the

The chief problem was one of

Deaf Musicians

Several schools for the deaf
have full-fledged military bands,
playing standard instruments. i.
The sense of touch is closely re-
lated to the sense of hearing.
Therefore, with the aid of highly
developed sense of touch, the deaf
may learn to distinguish time, in
tensity, pitch and even melody.
By careful training deaf niu-
sicians may learn to detect err
rors in their own playing. !.
Easiest instrument for them is the

Use More Ice Cream

It has been estimated that five
billion pounds of milk are used
each year in the production of
commercial ice cream, which pro-
vides about three gallons of ice
cream per capita. The amounts
of ice cream made at home will
raise this figure somewhat. But
the amount consumed may well
be further increased, because
when properly made from pure
ingredients, ice cream deserves to
rank with other dairy products
among our most wholesome and
n0urishing foods.

increased acreage or crops which
have followed the development of
novel packaging methods.
Progressive farmers, many of
whom have taken advantage of CO.
operative movements to bolster the
marketability of the crops, are
keeping finger on the pulse of all
products moving under a packaging
stinulant. They have seen celery
acreages jump 1914 per cent in
four years, and have seen celery
farm values skyrocket from $14,-
$4,000 to $l6,646,0OO in a single
year.
Celery Makes a Noise.
During the past few years groups
of the 446, 400 growers in the three
main celery-producing states have
put their heads together on packag-
ing problems. The most recent pro-
gram was that of the Muskegon Co.
operative Celery Growers associa-
ton, in Michigan. They decided on

AS an example of what can be
accomplished by modernized mer-
chandising methods, agricultural
experts point to the growth of $50
per cent in the shipments of Flor

which the fruit was available to the
public in small, attractive pack
ages.
Tomatoes in Full Dress.
Innumerable devices for getting
tomatoes before the public in a doz-

brought forth recently, and during
the past II years there has been an
increase of tomato production by
more than 500, 100000 pounds year.
One dramatic example of how a
neat package can act as a hypoder-
mic on sluggish sales was demon
strated recently in Birmingham, Al
ALBANIA, under the watchful scrutiny
of the IL main tomato growing
states 100000 farmers. Following
an ideal growing season of plentiful
rain, Birmingham found its markets
overfowing with tomatoes, a highly
perishable product. The situation
required quick action and growers
turned for solution to an agency
which had been employed by farm
ers elsewhere when faced with
surplus.
Reports indicated that a similar
situation had faced California peach
growers and showed how the pro-
ducers there had taken the dilemma
by the horns and turned what might
have been one of their most ruinous
years into a profitable one.
In January, 1886, warehouses
were bullying with carry-over of
6,469, 900 cases of peaches-a figure
70 per cent greater than that of the
previous year. Gamers were offer
ing farmers only $14 to SIS ton
for the oncoming crop, which was
less than the cost of production.
Grocers to the Rescue.
The situation required quick dis
posal of the carry-over in order
that the prices of the new crop could
be stabilized and farm incomes
saved. They turned to the retail
stores to take advantage, if possible,
of their mass buying and mass dis
tribution systems.
A sterilization committee was set

with the National Association of
Food Chains-a group representing

Vatican City, April 6.-UP)-The tense situation between the Aus trian Episcopate and the Vatican over the question of cooperation with the Nazis was understood to have been eased today at an audi ence between Pope Plus and Theo- dore Cardinal Innitzer.
 The Pope was reported to have criticized the method employed by the Austrian Episcopate and ex- pressed the opinion thaht the proc lamation calling for Catholic ap- proval of the Austro- German union should have been issued only after adequate guarantees from the Reich.
 However. Cardinal Innitzer en- erged from the papal apartment in a good humor, and prelates under stood that the misunderstanding had been cleared up. The Vienna church head left for Austria this afternoon.
