POTATOES FOR SLIMMERS.
Regarding the “vexed question of' slimming," a Potato Marketing Board‘s pamphlet. by Dr H. K. Areh‘imld, states that “there can be little doubt that. in spite of popular opinion to the contrary, the potato constitutes the ideal carbohydrate.“ According to one authority. potatoes “may well be retained in even a rigorously reducing diet." provided that such things as sweets and pastries and excessive bread are banished. For those desirous of slimming without the irksemeness of rigid adherence to specified weights of food a satisfactory diet would be fish, eggs and potatoes eaten as desired. In feeding the undernourished the potato is excellent for conveying fat in a manner acceptable to the patient. Other opinions declare that the potato is : Highly digestible; A rich source of many of the necessary minerals salts; ' Vastly superior in vitamins to bread; The rhiet‘ antisrouhutic 01' man; and One of the most important sources of energy in :1 mixed diet. 5?:
