Potatoes for Patriotism.
By eating potatoes Instead of wheat
the people of the United States can
help- win the war. We have not
enough wheat for the Allies and our
selves. We have an abundance of po
tatoes. Wheat flour is a concentrated
food and therefore good for shipping;
potatoes are bulky and are conse
quently not suited for limited shipping
space, nor are the Allies so short of
potatoes as of wheat. Wext to cereals,
potatoes have been in this country
the mainstay of starchy food, which
supplies energy.
The more potatoes we eat, the less
wheat we need. A medium-sized po
tato, weighing about 3 ounces, sup
plies about as much starch as two
small slices of wheat bread one-half
inch thick. In other respects also,
the potato measures up well with
wheat bread and even has the advant
age over it in supplying certain salts
which the body needs to counteract
the acidity resulting from the ubb of
such foods as cereals, meat and eggs
By exercising her ingenuity the house
wife can prepare potatoes in many
different attractive ways, thus increas
Ing their proportion in the family diet
and conserving whsat and other sta
ples nesded for shipment abroad. An
Important use of potatoes, also, is in
the mixing of breads, in which mash
ed potatoes up to fully ten per cent
may be used without detracting from
its appearance or taste; In fact, many
persons hold that potatoes properly
mixed in bread, improves both appear
ance and flavor.
