INSTEAD OF BREAD
Bread Must Be Saved Potato?! Con.
tain the Sane Nutriment.
How many potatoes are you eating?
This is a question the Food Adminis
tration wants every loyal American to
ask himself or herself. Strange as it
Tr.ay seem, the eating of potatoes at
this time is a practical war service.
according to a recent Food Adminis
tration bulletin, which points out that
Ih'.s nation now has a large potato
surplus on hand and that this valuable
food, unless eaten within the next two
months, will be lost through sprouting
ar.d rotting. Ey eating of potatoes
liberally, every family can save a sub
stantial amount of other food, particu
larly of wheat. By eating up the sur
plus of potatoes the nation will also
prevent serious loss to the potato
producer, who needs to be encouraged
to grow rrnxtmum crops during the
ccmin:; year.
"Domestic science experts have fig
ured that: One ordinary baked potato
equals in nourishment one thick slice
of wheat bread.
"Potatoes at one and one-half to two
cents a pound have more food value
than bread at ten cents a loaf.
"Potatoes are healthful. They im
prove the general tone of the system
by their wholesome action on the di
gestive organs. They are easiest on
the stomach of all vegetable foods.
They are easy on the kidneys because
of the minimum of nitrogen they con
tain. They are easy on the intestines
because of the tenderness and small
proportion of their cellulose and the
fine division of starch.
"Potatoes are valuable in the diet of
the sick. They can be eaten with
benefit by people suffering from dys
pepsia, anemia, diabetes, Bright's dis
ease, cardiac affections, intestinal
troubles, constipation, hyperacidity,
artiritis, gout, liver complaints, etc.
"Always serve potatoes with meat,"
concludes the Food Administration
bulletin. "Never serve bread and potatoes."
Range Xirt Promising.
W. W. Cryder, mpervisor of the
Umatilla forest, who has just return
ed from an inspection trip, says that
the conditions in the forest are not
so promising as th.y were some
weeks ago. There has been but lit-;
tie water in the mountains this year
land the weather lr.tely ha:; been cold
so that the grass has been held back, j
I The water is lower than usual, also. :

By Mrs. Robt. J. Burdette.
The firing line is now in your kit
chen. Knock out the breadline at your
table.
It has been said that the Revolu
tionary War was won by men fed on
hasty pudding, in other words, corn
meal mush. Let It be written in his
tory that the winning of the present
war was made possible by the United
States eating potatoes.
The manner of eating, the time of
eating and even the kind of foodstuffs
eaten are largely a matter of habit.
We do not desire to break ourselves
entirely of the habit of eating or life
would not prove worth living, but it
can be made to prove better worth
living if we change some of the habits.
Suppose we cure ourselves of .the
hand-eating habit and see if we do
not consume less bread. If you were
to put your bread and butter on your
plate and eat it with a knife and fork ;
it would reduce the amount of bread j
eaten at once. In some of the Oriental j
countries men carry strings of bright j
red wooden beads that are known as I
"Conversation beads," and they seem j
unable to talk unless they have them
in their hands to play with and pass j
from one hand to the other. We seem
to need something in our hands at j
table or we feel the meal Is Incomplete '
and that something is usually bread.
Forget this habit and save wheat. If
you must continue the hand-eating
habit, hold a hot potato.

How to Increase World' Bread Ration
With famine creeping through Eu
rope, and every nation struggling to
produce enough food to sustain life,
the American farmer has a duty that
he can not shirk. America must ship
food to Europe for our soldiers.
America must supply bread to starv
ing peoples. No matter what other
crops are raised, more acres should
be devoted to bread grains. "Do your
bit, Mr. Farmer," says a Food Ad
ministration bulletin. "Success de
pends upon you in this world war.'1
West Point is on a food-conservation
basis, and the health of the cadet
corps Is better than ever. All bread
used is composed of 45 per cent wheat
flour, 45 rye, and 10 per cent white
bolted grain flour; and many cadeti
consider it superior to the former
white bread. Sugar consumption has
been cut down, meatless days and
meals are rigidly observed, and the
reduced amount of meat has been
beneficial to health, A lesson from a
reliable source,
Taking It From Babies.
"Every ounce of wheat products in
excess of six pounds per month that
you eat; Mr. American Citizen, Is that
much literally taken from the mouths
of the starving women and children
of France," says a Food Administra
tion bulletin. "The armed allies may
go without wheat, but these innocents
will actually die unless we give them
of ours in generous proportion."
Victory bread Is received with hear
ty approval. But don't be satisfied
to use It on a vbeatless day or at a
wHeatless meal, bscauae It Isn't wheat-loss.
