WE DNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1918 USE IRISH POTATOES The United States Food Administration is planning a consistent campaign to increase the use of Irish potatoes. Grocers will be urged to inaugurate a "potato day" each '-week, selecting whatever day is slack in deliveries and making a special price for potatoes delivered on that day. Housewives will be asked to buy potatoes, a week's sup ply, on each potato day. The Administration wishes to place the Irish potato, every day in the year, on every ta ble in America. The Food Administration declares that it is necessary right now as a war measure for everybody to eat potatoes and also to purchase them in fairly regular quantities week by week, so that distribution will be equal every where for the next five or six months. Relieving railroad congestion and enabling growers and distributors to han dle potatoes at the iost reasonable prices and to furnish encouragement for production of a larger crop this Spring. The Department of Agriculture is.working to improve potato growing methods and to increase our crops. The cooperation of the consumer and the grocer are needed more now than ever before. Every American family is urged to buy and to eat potatoes freely through the Win ier and into the Summer. Hotels and restaurants are be ing asked to serve potatoes liberally. Cooperating with the Department of Agriculture, the Food Administration has taken definite measures to stabilize the potato industry, both as to production and as to distribution. Standard grades and the system of sale by the hundredweight basis have already been introduced. The potato today is plentiful, cheap and the best substi tute for food staples we are being asked to save for the Allies, the Army and the Navy. It furnishes nourish ment, bulk, mineral salts and a corrective alkalinity in the diet. Germany plants more than twice as many potatoes as he United States. Germany gets more than twice as many bushels per acre, and she eats three times as many potatoes. Germany's wise use of potatoes helps her to hold out against the Allies. If we are going to win this war we must fight Germany man for man; shell for shell; potato for potato. The Food Administration declares we raise too few potatoes on too great an acreage. If our yields per acre was as great as Germany's the State of New York alone, or Michigan, or Wisconsin, or Minnesota, might raise all the potatoes we eat. We eat too f 3w potatoes because .the quality is not good. We speculate in potatoes from year to year farmer, jobber, retailer, everybody. That make's fluctua tion in price, for which we dearly pay. When Germany gets through intriguing with Trotzky he will find that he is expected to trotsky to the musicsky. Every now and then that crown prince takes another. lesson in the art of failure. John D). Rockefeller may have many sins to answer for, but $70,000,000 given to war p~urploses should atone for a few of them. Nick Romanoff is said to have plenty of cash in the bank of England. Uncle Sam might attach it as security for money loaned his government. An Oregon man makes the statement in his questionaire that he is 9 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 123 pounds. Evi dently swallowed a string and shrunk to it. If we only were certain as to whether the knitters or the pickets would be the representative wonien when they bdgin to vote, we could view the prosp~ect with less con cern. 'The Kaiser is rep~ortedl to b~e running short of man pow er. Tphis country should help him out to the extent of about a half million of his subjects for whom we have ab solutely no need. An exchange advocates tippJing waiters with thrift stamp~s. Won't (10. When a fellow has to coughs.up a lib erty bond for a square meal, he feels that he ought to be allowedl to keep a stamp or two. An English legal decision says that butchers may not weigh feet with shoulders and legs of mutton. Over here it has been customary for butchers to weigh hands with ep.ts of steak, but we didn't know English butchers went us one better and weighed their feet, too. The suggestion is made that the Government let up on the prosecution of the "trusts" during the period oftthe war. And why not? We have declared a moratorium for all enlisted men. The "trusts" may not be giving their lives to the country, but they are giving their life blood money, by the millions. Let's forget the old sores for the time being, and perhaps time and the war will heal them. HUSBAND SAVES WIFE From Suffering .by Getting Her Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
