National Potato Week was organiz- ed for the purpose of attracting con- attention to the fact thal charge sumer { public health has suffered, accord- 19 o'clock Thursday i ing to medical science, through the decline in recent years in the per capita consumption of potatoes in the United States. Imerviewed in connection with National Potato Week, Dr. Marion D. Sweetman, university of Maine, sald: ‘IL 5 now accepled as a scientific and medical fact that if and when two tablespoons of milk and one teaspoon of butler is added to a po tato of medium gize, It makes a com- bination which meets all the known needs of the human body. In fact it furnishes more than its share of calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B and vitamin C and can help to sup- pletnent common foods which are deficient in these essentials.” Regarding the notion held bY many of the excess fat producing properties of potatoes, Mrs. Margery Boling, Director «of the CGentiewo- man Institute, says: “One medium sized potato has nO more calories than hall a grapefrult, one cup of orange juice or lemon juice, one sHee of canned pineapple or five roked prunes. One medium potato is one-fifth as fattening as one cup of uncooked cornmeal, almost one fourth as one cup of flour, one third as one cup of cooked macaroni, one third as two tablespoons of lard, ote seventh as one cup of suet, one eighth as one cup of sugar, one fourth as one cup of mincemest, al- most one fourth as one regular slice, cut very thin, no fat, of ham or ohe fowith pound of lamb or one should er lamb chop. Who says that Po- tatoes are fatiening?™ The Bureau of Home Economics, U. 8. Department of Agriculture, has this to say on the subject, “So highly is the potato regarded by our scien- tists that they give if an important piace in the diet of people of every income level. Americans who are trying to keep their youthful figures should cut out several other types of foods before they do the potato, foods such as sugar, fats and ofl which are considerably more fai- tening and which carry none of the potalo’s minerals and vitamins Cooking in the skin, whether in bak- ing. boiling or steaming, conserves the maximum amount of a potatos food value.” A ————— OBITUARY LEVI COWHER Levi Cowher, 70, a well known and esteemed resident of Sandy Ridge, died suddenly Tuesday morning at 5:45 o'clock at his late home.
