POISONOUI POTATOES.
L————
These That Have Iprouted 0r Shown
Green Spots Should Not Is Cooked.
Potatoes that grow too near the sur-
face of the ground and are therefore,
exposed to the rays of the sun. become
,1 green in color. Sometimes only a small
green spot. other tunes the green may
cover most of the potato. Such pota-
tbes are poisonous. says Medical Talk
for the Household.
In 1892 and 1893 a large section of
the German army was poisoned by the
use of such potatoes. The poison is
known as salanin, an alkaloids] pol-
sou.
This same poison appears in pots-
toes that have been kept in a damp
place and allowed to sprout. The
sprouts of the potatoes by exposure to
light. become slightly greenish, im-
parting to the potato 'this poisonous
material.
Housewives should be very careful
about using such potatoes A potato
that has been sprouted or has green
spots on It should be thrown away and
not cooked at all. It is unfit for food.
It is no economy to undertake to save
such potatoes.

wife so, and she appeared to agree
with him. She said it seemed the eas-
iest way That night when he came
home he found that the table was not

"I want a new dress." the wife said,
when he asked what the trouble was.
“I know You“ ve been bothering me
for that dress for a month," he said,
"but how about supper?"
"There isn't any." she replied. "This
is a strike."
"A strike?"
"Yes. I've been trying to secure a
peaceable settlement of this trouble
for some time; now I've struck."
“Do you dare—"
"Oh. don't talk to me that way! If
I can't get you to arbitrate, why. I‘ve
got to strike."
“But, Mary. you don't undc tend."
“Oh, yes I do. I've made my i13-

“You're no judge."
“You're the judge of your own de-
mands when you strike, and I‘m as
good a judge as you when I want some-
thing. It's no use talking. The strike
is on."
She folded her arms in a determined
way, and he subsided. It was perhaps
half an hour later when he looked up
ind said:
"Well. what are you going to do
about it?"
“Nothing." she replied. "The strike
is still on."
"Aien't you hungry?"
“No. I saw that there was some.
thing in the treasury before the strike
was ordered."
“Meaning the pantry '.'" he remarked.
“Meaning the pantry," she repeated.
“I believe I'll get a bite.” he said.
“It's locked." she replied. “The re-
serve Is to be used to keep the strike
going. You can't touch the striker's
resources."
“Be careful, Mary!” he said, warn-
ingly. "if I shut oi! the cash—” She
nodded toward the locked pantry.
"I can'stick it out for a week." she
returned.
Flvo or ten minutes later he propos-

dollars.
“Twenty." she replied. firmly.
"But I can't alford it," he protested.
“That's your business," she answer-
ed. "I offered to arbitrate once."
It was 10 o‘clock that night when be

"Yes."
“This Is George. Say. 1 can‘t get
anything to sat down town here. to-

all closed on account of the strike.
Have a good dinner ready for me this
evening when I come home."
"I can't do it, George. The girl says
all the grocery stores and meat mar-

the strike."
“Well. cook up a pudding or some.

"Can‘t do that, either. No milk to-
