WHY EAT POTATOES? "At eight cents a pound the potato is a needless luxury," says the New York Board of Health. The potato is seventy-five per cent, water and the rest is mostly starch. It is a good food when eaten in combination with protcid foods—but not worth eight cents a pound. Cut out meat, eggs and high-priced vegetables and stick to ce reals and fruits. Two Shredded Wheat Biscuits (cost two cents) with milk make a complete meal, sup plying all the nutriment needed for a half day's work. For breakfast with hot milk; for dinner with sliced bananas or stewed prunes. Made at Niagara Fails, N.
