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.
