Eat More Potatoes
Alt Is doing ono good thing for Kuropo
It Is caublng tho warring nntlons to
recognlzo tho sustaining ciunlitlcs ot many
of tho foodsturts that hitherto hao been
regarded as IU oifly for the moro plebeian
tastcj tho potato, for Instance
Tim potato Is not only nn easily digestible
foodstuff, hut possesses high food alue
About one-fourth of tho weight of tlio po
tato is fcod substaneo, consisting chlclly
(nltie-eloeiitlis) of starch. Of the remain
der, threc-flfthH aro protein and fats Hut
what it lacks In fat and protein, It makes
up In salts, which constitute nearly S per
cent of Its dry substaneo and aro perhaps
Its most characteristic quality from a di
etetic standpoint, and ono of Its chief ex
cellences. These salts consist chiefly of
potash, and In tho ordinary form In which
they nro supplied they do a most Important
service In maintaining the nlkallno rondl
dltlon of the blood, which Is tl.sentlal to
good health and resistance to disease
Tho great nutritive valuo of the potato,
notwithstanding tho fact that It Is three
fourths water, may bo best shown by com
paring It with other known foods. A study
of tho nutritive aluo of varlona common
foodstuffs shows that ono pound of baked
potato Is equivalent In total nutritive value
to the following foods In the quantities In
dicated1 Klvo and seven-eighths ounces
bolted beef, one pound of chicken, ono and
ono-half pounds of codfish, two and ono
quurter pints of ojsters, solids; four pints
of clams. In shell; four nnd one-half pints
of beef juice, ten pints bouillon or beef ten,
ono and one-eighth pints of whole milk,
threo pints of skimmed milk, eight eggs,
nine ounces baked beans, seven ounces of
bread, ono and three-quarter pints oatmeal
or cornmcal mush, ono nnd one-third pints
hominy, cooked; ono pint boiled rice, ono
pound of bananas, two pounds of parsnips,
cooked ; ono poltnd green peas, cooked ;
threo pounds beets, cooked ; four pounds
boiled cabbage, four pounds radishes, Ave
pounds tomatoes, Iho pounds turnips, cook
ed ; six nnd ono-half pounds cucumbers.
From the abovo it will readily appear
that the potato is ono of the most nourishing
of our common foods Its value Is still lur
tho." emphasized by tho fact that steamed
or mashed potato digests In two or threo
hours, whereas roast beof, for Instance, re-'
quires four or flvo hours, or double tho time.
Tho potato Is of vast scrvlco as a food
remedy In tho treatment of a largo number
of diseases. It is especially valuable In
cases of chronic Intestinal autointoxication
or "biliousness " It affords bulk for tho
Intestines to act upon, nnd so combats con
stipation. The largo proportion of starch
and other carbohydrates encourages the
growth of friendly bacteria In.the Intestines,
thus preventing putrefaction. For tho samo
reason tho fren usa of potatoes combats
rheumatism nnd gout, which aro results of
chronic Intestinal poisoning.
The potato Is also valuable In tho treat
ment of anemia, because it fights tho gTowth
In the Intestino of the germs which produce
blood-destroying poisons.

Xovemher 6-10, 1915.
T IS all neat and clean hero In my tiny
surgical dressings room, and whllo the
Instruments are boiling and my twcnty-nlno
children are resting after their midday
soup, I can conscientiously snatch Just a
minute. Tho work Is a bit lighter today,
becauso four havo been discharged this
a. m., and tho beds havo not been illlcd,
Uvcr since I began my work I havo been
watching for a chance, to sketch for you
at least one day In dotnll, that you may
havo soma vnguo Idea ot this unique and
lnexprosslblo life.
At quarter to elx a. m. I am up nnd
sponged and well flesh-brushed. My good
old lady gives mo a hugo bowl ot coffee
and four lumps of sugar, bread and butter,
and a bollcjd egg, for twclvo cents nu ev
travaganco which I indulge In to avoid the
probnblo conscqhcnco of tho long wnlk to
tho Hospital on an empty stomach through
the mists of tho Marne, which aro thick
nnd weird enough In tho early morning. It
Is a devious way through mud nnd mist,
nnd almost anything Is likely to cross your
path a bentl while-capped old woman like
a stray from some old Dutch painting, a
black cat, lean and ritrty (everything Is
hungry about here); nn nrroplano wheeling
about on tho watch for 7nbn which aro
frequent and flery theso days; a convoy
ot automobiles driving at top speed to tho
trenches; tho dim wraith of a funeral pro
cession disappearing in tho distance.
When I get to mv pavilion, thero Is sure
to bo "Orandpa," my treasured old orderly,
busy at brushing out tho entrance. Ilo
Immediately drops his broom and holds
out his good brawny hand to hopo that
bis "Mndemolselle Miss" (the name I am
generally known bj) has slept well, nnd
will not work too bard during tlio coming
dny. Orandpa Is my Internal Vigilance,
nlways on hand, nlvvojs ready to do every
bidding, and zealous to sparo mo every
possible fatigue. Last week ho and my
other orderllos were ill ho nnd Karblcho,
the merry faithful clown, with bronchitis,
and Louplas with tonsillitis and n bad bone
felon and I had to carry my patients to
tho surglcnl dressings room mjself. Ho
nearly wept with chagrin.
The first thing I do, nfter a word of
greeting to each of tho thirty-four children,
Is to review tho ward and see that It Is
well washed, In order, nnd no spoons or
bottles out of place, andto stnrt Instru
ments boiling. After that begin tho tem
peratures. Along with tho temperatures go
face-washing and mouth-rlnslng, generally
engineered by faithful Grandpa. About
half-past eight the doctor makes his ap
pearance. When he has mado tho tour of
tho ward, I am left complete m stress i of
the scene for tho rest of tho day. with
thlrtyfour lives In my hand, morol nl f
of which hnng in tho balance If thero is
anything critical. I send for the big surgeon,
nnd ho ahvavn comes gracious y, which is
n great mark of conlldcnre. About 9 a. m.
I begin tho dressings, unless hero arc
antl-tctanus Injections to give for those who
mav have arrived In tho night, or " "
Is ch lng. or there Is an in gent operation,
nut we shall suppoo an uninterrupted daj.
I begin with tho Important dressings, which
nro often long and dangerous, and I ran
do but three or four before tho bell rings
for soup at 10MG a. m. ....,. ,
I think vott would sicken with fright It
you could see .the operations that a poor
nurso Is called upon to perform tho putting
In of drains, tho washing of wounds so
hugo and ghastly ns to make ono marvel
at tho endurance that Is man's, tho digging
nbotit for bits of shrapnel. I assuro you
that the word responsibility takes a special
meaning here. After tho soup for tho
wounded, comes that of tne nurses, when
all riowd Into a tiny plank hut, and stuff
meat nnd potatoes as fast ns wo con be
tween disjointed bits ot gossip. Immediately
after lunch I t-pend an hour or so setting
to rlghtrt tho suiglcal dressings room, doing
llttlo services, nnd distributing cakes or
bonbons. It Is amazing bow a bit of pep
permint will console a soldier when a smllo
goes with It!
Dressings nil tho nfternoon until It Is
tlmo for temperatures; then soup for tho
soldiers; nnd mine, which Is soon finished :
then the massago for those that need It, eta,
after which I preparo my soothing drinks
and give the Injection" It Is tho sweetest
time of tho day, for then ono puts olt tho
nurso and becomes the mother; nnd wo
have such fun over tho warm drinks. They
nre nlco and sweet and hot. nnd the sol
diers ndoro their "American drinks"
When this is done, I go around and stuff
cotton under weary barks and plastered
limbs, bid all the chlldten good-night, polish
my Instruments, clean out tho surgical
dressings room, nnd hurry home through
tho frosty night.
This Is tho rough outllno of an ordtnnry
day, and into that let your fancy weavo
nil that Is too holy or terrible, too touching
or humorous to put Into words tho last kiss
a soldier gives ou for Ins family ho will
never hce; tho watches with tho priest when
nil Is rtlll nnd dailc, but for the. light of my
llttlo electric lamp nnd a bit of moonlight
through tho window; tho agonies nnd
heroisms; tho wit and affection that play
llko varied lights and darks along tho days.
All In tho midst of a gory dressing, with
the wind driving snow llmrles past n
broken window, camo tho baggage master
and popped a fat lot of letters Into tho
big front pocket of my npron.
Tho Joyous news has como that tho cot
ton, etc , aro on the way. The prcssuro has
been terrible. After a comparative lull,

Wo had our pancakes when my father tot

kissed me. It hasn't been so many treat..
slnco the washing was done, but he looked
kind of discouraged, so I took my wet drew
off tho kitchen floor when he was gone and
flung It out Into tho yard. Then I was going

Tompkins with a big fat woman, and they

PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
I
T WAS mining when I woko up nnd all
tho veeds In tho yard were so heavy with
water that thoy bent over and the rain was
coming out of the spout like a hoso, and I
and Rowdy went out Into It and had a lot
of fun. We lay down In tho gutter nnd I
found that I cannot swim In tho gutter, but
need a whole river to swim In. So I know
It Is truo what my father says about my
getting to be a big girl.
Then we went Into tho house and got tho
floor in tho kitchen nil wet, and Itowdy
was shivering, so I took tho towel and
wiped him dry, nnd then I put on my other
dress becauso this ono was wet nnd got out
tho doll my mother gavo me before she
died, and talked to It a while, and I got an
old magazlno and cut out tho pitchers nnd
was having a pretty good time until Mr.
Carpenter camo up on our steps with a lot
of excitement in his face and an umbrella.
Mr Carpentor said, "Is your foan work
ing?" I said, "We haven't got a , foan.
What's happened to Wilbur?" He said; "I
was Just going to work when Wilbur leaned
over tlio banister to say good-by and fell
head first and I think bo broke his a;m.
The lightning has killed our foan, an' I
haven't time to stand here talking to J""u.
I don't see why It could not havo been you
instead of little Wilbur, who nevor did nny
harm In tho world." I said: "That is very
true, and you aro like every ono else In
this neighborhood. When anybody dies they
say, 'oh, dear! why could It not havo been
that little savage, Patsy Klldare, who Is of
no uso In the world?' "
Ho splnshed away and I said: "Thank
you, God. You sure do deliver tho goods,
only you mako tho samo mistake my mother
does. I asked for something to happen to
Wilbur and I also asked for a baby sister,
and If ou had Mopped to think you would
have seen that tho babv sister Is moro Im
portant than busting Wilbur. When I ask
for two things I want tho most important
first."
It was a rather long day on account of
tho rain, and I watched tho doctor como to
tho Carpenters ami bo stayed a long time.
