" Did you ever calculate the value of a single potato on the basis that that single tuber was the only one left In the world? That one would of course, contain with-in itself the possibility ol restocking the world with a valuable article of lood. If one potato would produce, when plant-ed, but ten potatoes, in ten years the tot.d production of lhat one potato would be 10,000,000, which would stock the whole world with seed.

The reporter has learned from other sources that he l.ves in good style in the same house as Professor Koch, and spends money with a lavish hand. The Continental hotel has charged Frau Ber ger of Karls Ruhe, whose husband died there after being inoculated by Dr. Levi, the sum of 700 mai ks for the disinfection alone of the room he occupied. in kvervboda's nps.
