MY AUTO, TIS OF THEE My auto, 'tis of thee, Short cut to poverty, | Of thee I chant; I blew a pile of dough, On you two years ago, And now you quite refuse to go. Or won't or cant. Through town and country side. You were my joy snd pride; A happy day. I loved thy gaudy hue, Thy nice white tire so new, But now you're down and out for true, In every way. To thee old rattlcbox, Came many bumps and knocks; For theee I grieve. Badly thy top is torn, Frayed are thy seats and worn; The whooping cough affects thy hom, T do believe. Thy perfume swells the breexe, While good folks choke and wheeze, », Aa we pass by. I paid for thee a price, Twoutd bay a mansion twice.

Now everybody's |ieddling "ice" — I wonder why? ( Thy motor has the .grippe, Thy spark plug has the pip, ; And woe is thine. 1, too, have suffered chills, , Ague and kindred ills, , Endeavoring to pay my bills. Since thou wert mine. 1 Gone is my bank roll now, i No more 'twould choke a cow; As oneqe before. , Yet if 1 had the mon, , So help me John, amen, I'd buy a car again, j And speed some more.— Exchange. , m — pair'S ~r , I IgP ^ HAIR BALSAM- j Fork ^itwiar^Colnr ami' | Engraved Calling Cards are dainty ] gifts to graduates.

Judge Eldredgo, in the special sessions court in Cape J May county, "issued a warning to obstreperous husbands who have their tempers rankled upon such occasions ^ and take spite out uffon their wives. The defendant, in question, in this case ^ was accused of having .beaten his wife with a chair because she laughed at his , unsuccessful attempts to put up a stove- f pijie. The humorous incident was near- ^ ly turned into a tragedy, as the wife | appeared in court swathed in bandages, showing evidence of the rough treat- | mont she received at the hands of her f husband. Rather than have the family j destitute and -the housccleaning left unfinished, the judge, severely rep- , riraanded the re pen taut husband and , suspended sentence. — North American. o i FISHING CREEK Mr. J.

Why is not clear, but many thing- inay enter into the luestion. People may la- tiring of this | riimiiion 'food. pre|iared. in old-fashioned way- only. They may not, probably f do not, understand its great value a- a Yeiy^lijifl.v some believe that potatoes an- lihrd to digest, others that they are fattening. City markets may charge too much for them at times. Million- prefer meat- and pastry. j Now xvhat is the truth about the food value of the potato! Dr. J. H. superintendent of the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Battle Creek, Micb., one of the best authorities on food in the world. He haa written one of ' the best articles about the potato and wo hax-e taken from this article the fol- P figures and facta, much of the expressed in- hir own language: t Do you know that one pound of baked pbtato or one and a fifth pounds of boil- p ed potato are equivalent in food value n to 5 7-8 ounces of boiled beef, 1 "pound a

of chicken, 1 1-2 pounds of eodfiA, 2 1-4 pinta of oysters, 4 pints of ciaais (in shell), 41-2 pints of beef juiee, 10 pinto of beef tea, 1 1 -2 pinto whole milk, 4 3 pinto skimmed milk, 8 eggs, 9 ounces j baked beans, 7 ounces bread, 1 3-4 pinto t oatmeal or cprn meal mush, 1 1-2 pinto g hominy (cooked), 1 pint rice, 1 pound of bananas. 2 pounds parsnips (cooked!, 1 pound green peas (cooked, 3 pounds beets (cooked, 4 pounds boiled cabbage, 4 pounds radishes, 5 pounds 0 tomatoes, 5 pounds turnips (cooked), i- 6 1-2 pounds cucumbers. 1 Steamed or mashed potatoes digest i- in two or three hours, but roast beef r requires four or five hours — twice as long. In all cases, the starch in the potato digests more easily and is appropriated by the body more readily than the ^ starch of wheat* corn and most other cereals, in some cases in leas than one- '• sixth of the time. Potato gruel has been found, in J Germany, to |be of great (service in feeding infants and invalids — is much better than corn starch, arrow root. One-fourth of the weight of the po- !_ toto is food substance, nine-twentieths r builds tissue, and three-tenths are alkaline salts. Of fat there is almost none in the potato — in preparing it for food this faet should be remembered and r the lack of it made up by adding cream butter, etc. The idea that poc to toes are fattening is all xvTong. The alkaline salts are mostly potash, and their job is to keep up the alkaline condition of the blood. This is neces- ■ sary because a lowering of this condition is one of the chief . causes of the rapid increase in chronic . diseases, deaths from . which have doubled in thirty years and in that time have ' amounted to 350.(100 lives. Meats form ' a great excess of aeids; corrals tend toward the same thing. Hie alkaline salts are needed to balance this condition. If this country would eat four times the amount of potatoes it would mean the saving of thousands of lix-es annually and an incalculable amount of ( suffering from disease. The potato is .(or would be if you wonld eat more) of immense serx-iee as a food remedy for biliousness, rheu- | matism. gout. etc. The freer use of potatoes and less meat would perhaps - do more than any other one thing to stop anemia. Likewise in checking the disease known as hardening of the arteries, a -disease which causes apoplexy and is associated with Bright's disease and various forms of heart trouThe potato, buttermilk and oatmeal of the Irish has developed one of the most sturdy and enduring races of men to be found anywhere. The truth is that we do not "eat enough potatoes. This is especially of city people and those in large toxvns. This valuable vegetable ran prepared in hundreds of tasty dishes, all easily digested and healthful in results. And cheap, too; two - people eould probably get a carload delivered in your town for $230. In no other way eati yon reduce the high cost of living and still get results, as you ci n with potatoes.
