POTATOES & BUTTERMILK
HEALTH-GIVING FOODS,
An Irishwoman Avell expressed, tne other day, says the Lonond Daily Chronicle the value of the national diet of .potatoes and buttermilk. “ When I Avas young,” she said, “ Ave never heard of consumption. The people Avere content Avith potatoes and and tea. The yare healthy enough as and tea. The yare healthy enough as children, but feAV grow up strong. They become consumptive as they grow. They 'cannot afford good meat, or enough of it, and they will not eat the potatoes and milk that Avould cost them little and keep them strong.” Potatoes 'are more nourishing if boiled or baked in their skins. The Irish know this; and, passing the open doors of cottages to-day, one may still sometimes see the brown, smoking balls turned out of the big pot on to a clothless table round which the family is . sitting.
