PAGE FOUR MEDF,ORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1931. Potato Merits Special Attention in Preparing By the Bureau of Home Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Dont acop with baked, boiled or tried potato. . Serve them In other wayi, the bureau of home economic suggests to the homemakers of tihe country. Potatoes probably are served more frequently than any other vege table, so instead of being treated with little consideration, they deserve spec lal attention, the bureau's export in food preparation say. "The potato has svery good reason for holding the enviable position It does," said Dr. Florence B. King, chief of the food utilization division of the bureau. - "It is a good and satisfying food with a flavor that Is midway between delicate and strong. The flavor is pronounced enough to permit of serving the potato without the addi tion of any outside flavoring, aside from seasoning, and yet It Is not so decided as to cause anyone to dislike this Inexpensive vegetable, all of which make potatoes valuable In the low cost dietary. 'rFrom the standpoint of food value potatoes have much to offer vita mins, mineral salte and energy-giving materials. Their mineral salts sup ply the necessary alkaline substances in the diet to balance the acid-ionn Ing substances of meat, cereals and eggs. And not the least of all, Is the energy-giving value potatoes possess, Many persons designate the potato as the "Irish potato," whiih would seem to Indicate its origin In the Emerald Islo. Quite t othe contrary, the potato is native to the western plateau of South America. The in vading Spaniards took the tuber back to Spain, whence it gradually was in troduced tc the world, until now it Is one of the vegetables most univer sally grown. Not untfl the last cen tury and a half, however, has It been so important, .Prejudice against new food, together with the first ways of cooking It, retarded its adoption In th diet. Boast potatoes steeped in wine, baked with marrow and spices or sweet preserves limited Its use for s long time. One outstanding fact to the po tato's credit, after it achieved Its notable position in agriculture, that with one exception It prevented the terrible periodic famines of for mer ages in Europe, In times of stress, particularly, the potato has come to lead In the diet. Since Ire land has used them so generously, the ' mlinnmitr -"Irlnh notntna" mto-ht erenoe for them In plenty and in need. It is an old Irish custom to five a bowl of boiled potatoes to all who stop and ask for food much as sandwich Is offered here In the United States, The name potato Is also misap plied to other vegetables as in the ass of the Canada potato, which Is not a potato at all, but the Jeru salem artichoke, the tuber of a species of sunflower native to North Amer- a yam. Germany Is a great potato growing country, hi fact the greatest of all, but oddly enough other foods are more readily associated with the Oer mass than are potatoes. This year ttM potato crop in the United States Is estimated at 371.000,000 bushels, practically all of which will be used tar xood, uermany convert much ox her crop into starch and alcohol. . One can not always tell a' good poiara ay cne ouwae -appearance, Doctor King points out. One which hows a green skin will taste bitter when cooked, she says, for it has grown too close to the surface and has been sunburned. The. wisest course for the homemaker is to choose medlum-elned potatoes that feel firm When pressed in the hand. Dry, mealy potatoes are best for mashing and baking, and the more waxy varieties are most suitable for salad and reaming since they will hold their shape. The bureau suggests many ways for serving notatoes in addition to . he usual ones. Among these are soup; potatoes combined with meat or fish for one-dish meals; as one vegetable In combinations that Include toma toes, cheese, onions, peppers; and in salads. Left-over mashed potatoes are especially good in corn meal muf fins, chocolate cake and doughnuts. Many potato recipes are Included In the bureau's cook book, "Aunt Sammy's . Badlo Beclpes Revised," which is available free of charge, on request to the Bureau of Home Eco nomics, U. 8. Department of Agricul ture, Washington, D. O. Menu run una, ua i Breakfast. Stewed Fruit.

Encompaaaed by all the vlatble aymbola . of , wealth and beholding from hli wlndowa a mighty lndua trial project whloh he fathered, Mar land, -according to publlahed reporta, haa only bla palatial home and an Income tax refund claim left. The home he built three yeara ago at a coat of a million dollars. The tax refund 'Olalm may bring him nothing. Bhould It be allowed It might return to him 1 .900,000 of the fortune he onoe poaieased. Acroaa the prairie from hla man sion, Marland can view the broad acree of the Industrial holdings he onoe controlled. Down a carefully landscaped avenue he can aee the herolo figure of the "Pioneer Worn- " the statue which he gave to Oklahoma In March, 1030. It ooat him 1100.000. All that la left of Marland'a once numerous millions haa passed Into the hands of William R. McFadden. formerly an employe of the oil man. In return for assuming obligations totaling taso.000. - Marland, now ST, was a brilliant student In youth and obtained a law degree at 18. Two yeara of law In hla native state of Pennsylvania were followed by IS yeara aa an oil man there. He came to Oklahoma In 1013 and In 14 years had built from virtually the ground up one of the southweat'e largest fortunes and controlled a vast business empire. In 1030 by obtaining the mineral concession to a 8,000,000-acre tract In Sonora, Mexloo, he turned one of the largest oil deals In the annals of the industry, Hla projects ex panded and In 1630 he had holdings In Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, California, Louisiana,-. Kansas, Colo rado, Canada, Mexico and England. The next year saw the beginning of the decline. The Marland Oil financial report showed a deficit of more than (7,680,000, and In October, 1038, Marland retired from active control of the oompany. It waa prior to this unexpected turn of events that Marland and Miss Lydle Miller Roberts, his first wife's niece and hla ward, were mar ried. . The first Mrs. Marland, an Invalid, had died in June, 1036, Whether Marland will try to "beat back" to hla former place In the world of commerce Is uncertain. It la hinted he may attempt to dispose of the home and, eventually estab lishing hie claim against the govern ment, retire from active acquisition of wealth to Uve on the remains of Ma once broad holdings.

Here are the results of laboratory tests with bran: Bran is a good source of Vitamin B. This vitamin helps tone up the intestines and keep them regular. Bran also supplies "bulk" which further aids intes tinal action. The "bulk" in bran is much like the "bulk" you eat in lettuce or other leafy vegetables. This "bulk" absorbs moisture like a soft sponge and gently cleanses the intestines of wastes. Bran also brings the body needed iron for the blood. ' A pleasant, safe bran cereal is Kellogg's All-Bran. Millions of people have used it with satisfactory results over a period of ten years. Two tablespoonfuls daily of this delicious ready-to-eat cereal are usually sufficient to prevent and relieve both temporary and recurring constipation. If you suffer from intestinal trouble not re lieved this way, consult your doctor. Kellogg's All-Bran has a wonder ful nut-sweet flavor. Enjoy with milk or cream, or use in cooking. Sold by grocers. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek. HELPS KEEP YOU FIT ALLBRAN Qli cm lovely to look at ml ynmin xcdifv . . .lll-gxllTxL C tnldH.
