POTATOES HEALTHY
ARTICLE FOR DIET.
The consumption of potatoes is
growing less every year. Why is not
clear, but many things may enter in-
to the question. People may be tiring
of this common food, prepared in old-
fashioned ways only. They may not,
probably do not, understand its great
value as a food. Very likely some be-
lieve that potatoes are hard to digest
others that they are fattening. City
markets may change too much for
them at times. Millions prefer meats
and pastry.
Now what is the truth about the
food value of the potato? Dr. J. H.
Kellogg, superintendent of the Battle
Creek Sanitarium, Michigan, is one of
the best authorities on food in the
world. He has written one of the
best articles about the potato and ‘we
have taken from this article the fol-
lowing figures and facts expressed in
his own language: Do you know that |
one pound of baked potato or one and
a fifth pounds of boiled potato are
equivalent in food value to 5 7-8
ounces of boiled beef, 1 pound of
chicken, 1 1-2 pounds of codfish, 2 1-1
pints of oysters, 4 pints of clams (in
shell), 4 1-2 pints of beef juice, 10
pints of beef tea, 1 1-2 pints whole
milk, 3 pints skimmed milk, 8 eggs, 9
ounces baked beans, 7 ounces bread,
1 3-4 pints oatmeal or corn meal mush,
1 3-4 pints of hominy (cook), 1 pint
rice, 1 pound of bananas, 2 pounds
parsnips (cooked), 1 pound green
peas (cooked), 3 pounds beets
(cooked), 4 pounds boiled cabbage,
4 pounds radishes, 5 pounds tomatoes,
5 pounds of turnips (cooked) 1-2
pounds cucumbers.
Steamed or mased potatoes di-
gest in two or three hours, but roast
beef requires four or five hours—
twice as long.
In all cases, the starch in the pota-
to digests more easily and is appro-
priated by the body more rapidly
than the starch of wheat, corn and
most other cereals, in some cases in
less than one-sixth of the time.
Potato gruel has been found, in
Germany, to be of great service in
feeding infants and invalids—is much
better than corm starch, arrow roots,
ete.
One-fourth of the weight of the po-
tato is food substance, ninetwen-
tieths builds tissue, and three-tenths
are alkaline salts. Of fat there is
almost none in the potato—in prepar-
ing it for food this fact should be
remembered and the lack of it made
up by adding cream, butter, etc. The
idea that potatoes are fattening is all
"wrong. The alkaline salts are mostly
potash, and their job is to keep up
the alkaline condition of the blood.
This is necessary because a lowering
of this condition ig one of the chief
causes of the rapid increase in chron-
ic diseases, deaths from which have
doubled in thirty years and in that
time have amounted to 350,000 lives,
Meats form a great excess of acids;
cereals tend i the same thing.
The alkaline salts are needed to bal.
ance this condition. If this country
would eat four times the amount of
potatoes it would mean the saving of
thousands of lives annually and an in-
calcuble amount of suffering from
disease.
MEAT EATERS.
One hundred million meat animals
are slaughtered each year in the
United States, and therefore it would
appear that every person, including
babies, eats an animal. Sixty-per cent
of all meat animals are slaughtered
in establishments where there is fed-
eral inspection, and approximately
one animal out of every fifty-eight is
in whole or in part on account of the
meat being unfit for human use. Uncle
‘Sam is doing his best to protect the
carnivorous tooth from crunching into
meat infected by tuberculosis and
other diseases, and the cost of the
Federal Meat Inspection Service is
now about $3,375,000 a year.
NEW COAL FIELD
An extension of the Boswell Branch
railroad to near Edie, where the Con-
solidation Coal Company is opening
new mines, was begun several days
ago. When the plant is completed, it
will be one of the best owned by that
company in this county. The Somerset
Lumber Company has been awarded a
contract for the erection of thirty
double houses at the plant, and have
finished several of them.

SOCIAL WAR WAGED IN CHINA

Peking.—Numerous incidents of a
disagreeable social nature are occur-
ing in the foreign settlements in the
treaty ports of China. The only for
c.gn place of amusement in Peking, a
moving picture show run by an Bast
Indian British subject, was raided re-
cently by some legation guard because
a British “animated cartoon” was un-
complimentary to the Emperors Wil-
liam and Francis Joseph,
But the most peculiar incident has
occurred in Shanghai, where the Ger-
man members of a club were requested
to remain away from the club house
during the war. The overwhel ing

ence. |
The Germans went to the club and
took away many cups and other silver
trophies, and are now retaining them,
threatening to melt them unless their
entrance fees and dues paid to the
club are returned to them.
SHOOT GAME FROM AIRSHIP
Texas Men Say New Kind of Hunt.
ing is Greatést, of All
Sports.
Gallop, N. M.—Hunting wild game
from the seat of an aeroplane is the
favorite sport of Sam Hampson and
J. N. Long, who recently purchased a
machine from a man who had served
with General Villa in Mexico.
They took the machine to a point in
the foothills of the Mimbres range of
mountains in New Mexico and made a
flight over that rough region. On the
initial flight they saw a number of
bear, deer and other wild game, and
on a second trip, when they carried
guns, they succeeded in killing some
of the animals.
The greatest difficulty which they
encountered was that of recovering
the game after it had been shot. Usu-
ally the game fell in places that af-
forded no landing for the aeroplane.

Twenty Years in the Busi- |

Boothbay Harbor, Me.—Mrs. Janet |
MacD®hald, seventy-seven years old,
is about to retire wealthy, after |
twenty years in the business of seal
catching, with three men in her em-
ploy.
The seals of Maine waters are mot
valuable for their skins, but are eas-
ily tamed and a e in demand for pub-
lic and private ‘¢ollections and aqua
riums and zoological collections.
The catching is done at night, with
the aid of nets, and Mrs. MacDonald
has caught .many personally. Often
they follow her about the house sev-
eral days after capture.
The usual price is $25 and her
catch has averaged 100 in a season of
six weeks in the late spring and sum-
mer.
Robs While Music Plays.
South Bend, Ind.—Enter the musical
burglar. While a phonograph in the
home of Alexis Mossey was playing
“I Want to Go Back to the Farm,”
an enterprising robber was going
through the Mossey residence and
making a rich haul. Two diamond
rings, several watches and a quantity
of money made up his loot.
Neighbors who heard the machine
thought the Mossey family was at
home, and the-burglar was left to his
own devices during the absence of the
family. Not until Mrs. Mossey re-
turned at alate hour was the theft |
tainment was a high order, and the
patrons enjoyed it throughly.

Following out his policy of making
the Uniontown High school strictly
up to date and the equal of any in the
state as an instrument to further com-
munity welfare, Principal C. N. Mec-
Cune has devised the idea of estab-
lished an employment bureau in the
High school. Cardg have already been
filed out by High schools pupils who
are workng out of school hours, stat-
ing what kind of work they are doing
and by whom employed . Other cards
have been handled in by pupils not
employed but wishing work to do
during their spare hours. It is the in-
tention of the High school authorities
to keep these cards on file and to sug-
gest and recommend pupils to the
business men of this town in case
they take advantage of this opportun-
ity in securing help. By utilizing the
High school bureau the business
men and employers can be assured
thdt no boy or girl will be recommend-
ed for any position unléss in the opin-
ion of the High school faculty that
pupil is fitted for the work in every
way. i:

There are many most worthy organizations working to promote comimeree

have a press day and all business concerns advertise the things they have

of an editor and nothing will contribute more toward the welfare of a com
munity than the prosperity of the press.
The farmer is a friend and patron of the newspapers. He ‘subscribes fos
the local paper ‘and reads every line in it and it is the best investment he
oan make. There is no news 80 valuable as store news; no information sg
interesting as market demands and no tragedy so entertaining as the rise and
