Then we were shown how to make n simple analysis of the principal stibstances contained in the tuber. A thin slice o! the potato was plac- ed in a. saucer and flooded with weak iodine. The starchy centre turned blue, leaving p, ring of unsi- tered whitish substance all round it. That substance is the protein which is known by its turning yel- low when nitric acl-d is applied. A further addition of ammonia turns it orange

The cellulose is also in very small amount and requires p, liitlc dif- ferent treatment. It is a kintl of woody matter but is not made of fibres stich as one finds in woody stems.

For The Cabin

If you have a rug evenly worn or faded, too shabby for the living room. it may still "do" in a den or lln a vacation cabin where it's bound to have rough wear. A wool rug is always a foot warmer on a cement floor or linoleum. Or you can turn the pile side downward and use a worn rug as a "pad" to thicken your good rug placed on top of it!

Are the worn spots so numerous

should tack it neatly down on the tread. but not the risers. The rug will soften noise, is easy to clean, and may give a note of luxury and color.

A large nine by twelve rug can be ripped apart and a good strip used as a runner in a corridor and narrow hallway.

Extra door mats around back porches. the garage, and even in front of the washtub or si-nk are useful. The doghouse is another place where a. piece of wool rug will be appreciated. especially in ihr: \\'lIllCI' 01' tvci wcaiilr-r
