That many marine plants cause sen Water to become alkaline when ex posed to sunlight is definitely proved through interesting experiments de vised by W. J. V. Osterhout and A. R. C. Haas of the laboratory of pluut physiology, Harvard university. These gentlemen have found a way to measure accurately the increased alkalinity. Without going into details, it may be said that this consists in im mersing a green seaweed in a glass tube of salt water to which a few drops of phenopthaleln have been add ?(1. After exposure to sunlight, the water turns pink, and the degree of pinkness, measured by matching against the colors of a series of tubes containing the same concentration of indicator In a series of “buffer solu lions” of known alkalinity, gives the quantity of alkali produced by the ac tion of the sunlight.

The potato’s principal drawbacks are its bulk, which increases the transportation costs, and its perishablity, which caqges losses from the field to the table unless particular care is given. T& lessen these losses and to cut the costs Germany has resorted to drying and the manufacture of potato flour. We do not know the extent of the business now, but we know that before the war more than 800,000,000 bushels of the fatherland’s potato crop were dried each year—and that is in excess of two years’ production in this country. Part of ihis enormous amount of dried food was fed to live stock, but much of it was ground into a nutritious flour for human consumption. Holland has one of the largest plants now making flour from potatoes.- J. W. Robertson-Scott, in his book, “Wartime and Peace in Holland,” says this factory driek 33,000 bushels every 24 hours. A special variety of potato is grown by the farmers who are the co operative owners of this and other mills. This variety is particularly high in starch and other solids and yields remarkable crops The av erage in 1917 on 79,000 acres was 500 bushels to the acre, making a total of 39,500,000 bushels. The general run of market potatoes in Holland yield only a little more than half as much to the acre. In these Dutch mills 137 pounds of potatoes will make 20 pounds of first class flour, four and a half pounds of second class and one pound of third class, the difference probably being in the amount of crude fiber contained and in the color. The cost of making the flour is about 3*4 cents a pound. From the special variety of potato Holland made 346,000,000 pounds of flour of the first grade last year at 9 cost of $73 on a long ton. We now have six plants in the United States making natural potato flour. About 6,000,000 bushels of the 1917 crop were made into dehydrated potatoes, natural flour, and potato starch. “Nat ural” potato flour—made from the whole cooked potato, minus the skin—is the only kind that should be made. It contains, in addition to the highly digestible staceh protein, mineral salts, albuminods and the vitamines so necessary for growth. There is every reason to believe that natural potato flour will become a regular part of our diet. It can be made at a reasonabl« price onee the industry is established, and it can compete with wheat flour up to 16 2-3 per cent of the loaf. Used in a larger proportion it makes the bread wet and soggy. Dr. Le Clerc, of the bureau of chemistry of the United States department of agriculture, says that potato flour at 8 cents a pound is equal to wheat flour at 6 cents. The one-third greater value is dua tp the lai^e content of mineral salts; Dr. Le Clerc gives the following analysis as representing a fair com parison of the two kinds of flour: Mols- Pro- Carbo '*ture Ash Pat tein hydrates Wheat ...12% .5% 1% 11% 75.6% Potato . 7% 8.5% .4% 97, 80.1%^ We have known for a long time that there was something about {he potato that improved the flavor, consistency, and keeping quali ties of bread. That is why “potato water” was considered essential by every bread m^kcr. Now we know there are even better reasons— economy and better nutrition. American potato growers need to give their beat attention to the problems of growing the right varieties for flour and developing dry ing plants and flour mills. Tbe»a should be as good an opportunity for a cooperative potato flour mill in a potato growing section as there is for a cooperative creamery or cheese factory in a dairy section. This newly imported method of hatidling the potato crop will go a long way toward putting one of the most unstable industries on a solid foundation. It will make the spud one of the non-perishables along with wheat, beans and canned foods. 44444444444444444444444444 4 THE SOLDIER’S 8INS.

"Who Was Who?” Is the suggested title for a new book to contain the names of all persons who hftVe changed their names. A new publication will do that In England. If the work is carried back ter enough It “will be found that scarcely a name lias survived the wear and tear of time. Some of the changes are inten tional, like our daily applications A court, but most of them are duo to had spellers or poor pronunciation and phonetic spatt ing to express the errors of pronunala tlon. Our Dutch ancestors had a habit of cutting off everything that went down to and Including the "Van.” The name "Burch” was originally "Birch,” and meant the man who lived by the hirch tree. It is a curious comment on this new book that the London newspaper editor who is putting it out has Juggled his own name after the English custom when taking a title. May Ration Tobacco. From the New York Times. Government control of the tobacco In dustry of the United States may result from the heavy requirements of the allies and the American military forces abroad. Rationing of the American population Is believed to be a possibility. Tlie war industries board announced recently that It has been conducting an investigation to dctermlno the require ments abroad and the quantity that could he conserved In this country to meet the situation. It estimates that approximately two-thirds of the leaf tobacco raised In this country In 1917 will be available for American manufacturers. Out of this must come cigaret and pipe tobacco for troops not yet overseas and exports of manufactured tobacco, In addition to clgarets and tobacco purchased here for Belgium. The crop In 1917 was 1,196,OOO.OflO pounds. Of this the board estimates that 850,000.000 pounds will be available this year for United States Btapufacturers while 316, '000,000 poupds of leaf will be available for export to the allies. Tobacco issued to the military forces of Great Britain, France and Italy amounts to approximately 159,000,000 pounds a year. Britain and France each allot 40 per cent of their entire consumption to the army and navy, while Italy allows her military forces 45 per cent. The total yearly con sumption of the entire population of those countries, the board estimates at 387,000,WO pounds, or 41,000,000 more than this coun try Is able to export. JIngland, France and Italy are now chiefly dependent on imports from Ili'o United States, as their imports from other tobacco growing countries havo been materially reduced through lack of ship ping and inability to import from Turkey and Bulgaria Of t.hc tobacco consumed by the Italian army and navy, probably one-third la Issued.free to the men in the form of to baoco, clgarets or cigars, but only thosa actually at the front or under fire are allowed free rations of tabasco. Soldiers and sailors in the zone of operations, but not actually at the front and those else where, pay for their tobacco. Since You Went Away. Since you went away, every gay sailor lad, Every khaki clad soldier I see, Has a place In my heart, and a share In my thoughts And belongs, lust a little, to me, He's a comrade of yours, and Is bearing his share Of the burden that rests upon you. Both are doing the task which a nation has set For its glorious manhood to do. Stase you went away, every fold of the flag Has a message that’s tender and true, it has always meant liberty, freedom and right, It now means my country—and you.
