HUMBLE POTATO
BEST PART JUST UNDER THE SKIN. The humble potato comes into its own in wartime, remarks “The Times.” Appealing to housewives for co-opera-tion in holding “the kitchen front” resolutely whatever conditions may arise, Lord Woolton, the British Minister of Food, has taken the potato as one example of an excellent food which is not used to full advantage in many homos. The best part of the potato lies just under the skin, and yet potato peelings are usually thrown away. If an enterprising borough council collects household swill, as more authorities are doing today, the waste is not so serious, but the truth remains that the housewife is not obtaining the full food value from the potatoes she uses.
