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.

TWO-FOOT SNOW
ON BLUE RIDGE
Roads Impassable and Game
Starving as Result of
Four Days' Storm
Waynesboro, Pa., March 5. One
of the worst snow storms in this por
tion of the Cumberland Valle/ in
many years began on Thursday
and has been continuous without any
let-up. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
the snow was still falling and the pros
pects were that it would keep up until
late in the night. The snow in Way
nesboro and vicinity has reached a
depth of fourteen Inches, while in the
Blue Kidge mountain section from six
teen to twenty-tour inches of snow
has fallen. Country roads are becom
ing impassable and running an auto
mobile is out of the question.
All kinds of game—especially rab
bits and partridges—along with dotr,
are suffering considerable from tlio
scarcity of food as the result of the
heavy snowfall. Many rabbits have
already been found dead, while birds
are seen hovering around barnyards
in quest of food.

Udine, Italy, March 0. The body |
i of Major Elvin R. Heiberg, the Amer- !
| ican military attache who was killed
by a fall from his horse on the Italian

The restive horse kicked him on the
