To the Editor: All the suggestions hitherto advanced as to the memorial in honor or' our soldiers have been of a strictly utilitarian nature, and nil involving great cost, I would suggest what I may call a physical memorial, which would cost much less and would be less utilitarian than artistic.

A suitable place would be near the B. C. E. It. station.

Just what form it should take is open to discussion, but my view is that the monument should be not so much useful as the commemoration of au idea. J. H. BOWES. SAUDIS NEWS.

In 1913, Germany produced 1,750.000.000 bushels of potatoes, one half of which was converted into potato flour or starch to make it imperishable and marketable. In this way, the plenty of one year was stored up for future years, and, no doubt, these vast reserves enabled Germany to withstand the blockade. Three hundred thousand dollars worth of tnis potato flour was sent in 1 1 3 to United States, where it was used to make bread, for thickening soups and for making fancy pastries.
