To Peel Or Not to Peel?

Any hostess who formerly served
boiled potatoes with their skins on
was regarded by her guests as lazy,
Indifferent or eccentric.
Today food experts point out
that the practical thing to do is to
serve boiled spuds with their Jackets
on They have even invented
slogan for the hostess to sing TO
her guests when the potatoes APP
pear on the table. The words are:
Spare the peel and save the spud"
This may also be sung to the guests
by both host and hostess to impro-
vised music. or with an accom-
panying little lecture worked up by
the scientists themselves who de-
clare that:
when you peel and boil a po-
tato, you throw away one-tenth TO
one-quarter Of its bulk, a large
part of its Vitamin G, and a large
amount Of it's iron, which is con-
centrated close to the skin"
