YOU may raise peanuts If you llvo In the
South and plant a crop every year. If
you llvo either In tho South or tho North,
you may set out nut trees and within a few
years you will be harvesting a crop of
nuts. Every year your son and your grand
son wilt continue to reap tho fruits of your
labors long after you havo passed on.
It Is surprising how we neglect tho nut,
which It the most concentrated form of
nutrltnent that tho earth produces. The
nut treo Is ono of tho most efficient means
of converting sunthlno Into foodstuff. The
sun spreads upon tho surface of tho earth
energy at tho rato of ono-half horsepower
continuously for cery square foot of the
curth's surface.
Plants are traps In which this energy Is
caught, and food Is simply stored up sun
shlno which may be converted Into human
tlssuo and translated Into human Intclll
genco and conduct. Tho nut troo Is ono
of tho most elllclent of all means of con
verting sunshlno Into food.
It takes a few years to get a nut orchard
started, but onco established It goes right
on Increasing In valuo with almost no atten
tion and no expense.
Light sandy toll will produco fifty to sixty
bushels of peanuts to tho acre. Peanuts
will grow In any Boll that will produco corn.
Tho peanut Is n most valuablo nutrient.
A pound of peanuts has food valuo to the
combined valuo of a pound and a quarter
of beefstcnk, half a pound of butter ami
nearly half a pound of bread It may be
used In a hundred different ways and inny
completely replace meat In tho bill of fare.
A wnlnut treo when ten years old wilt
produco 100 to 150 pounds of nuts annually,
nn,i .h -mn will Increase each year. An
average, production of 100 pound a yenr for
tho first twenty years Is not n high estimate.
Sixty trees to the aero will produco then
6000 pounds of nuts, of which one-fourth,
1300 pounds, will bo meats.
Every pound of walnut meat represents
food value cquul to each of tho following:

Neurasthenia nnd Constipation
Please slvo the rrorcr diet for a person who
has nourusthcnU and chronic constipation
Tho diet should bo anti-toxic; that Is,
meats of all sorts should be avoided. In
some rates eggs should bo avoided also,
and sometimes It Is necessary to dlrcnrd the
use of milk. In such cases all animal pro
teins encourngo putrefaction, which gives
rise to poisons which aro tho cause of neu
rasthenia symptoms In tho great majority
of cases. It Is equally Important that the
bowels should bo made to movo three or
four times a day by means of a laxative
diet, which should Includo an nbundanco ot
fruits nnd green vegetables.
Seeds of Berries
Aro tho seeds of berries Injurious?
U. A. N.
Berry seeds are not dangerous. Tho secdB
aro simply wood and not In any wny nu
tritious. When there is ulceration or an
Inflamed condition of the stomach, as In
cases of gastric or Intestinal catarrh, seeds
may havo an Irritating effect, but such
cases arc not frequent
Face Bleaches
What do you recommend for a faco blench?
HUTU.
Many bleaching preparations contntn
poisons; eomo of them contain deadly poi
sons and cannot bo used with safety. The
best cosmetic Is good health. Cold water
applied outsldo atfd Inside and a proper
diet are tho only safe and effective cos
metics. Dlnglness ot tho ekln Is generally
due to constipation. An ounce ot paraffin
oil, or enough to movo tho bowels three
times a day, will clear tho skin wonderfully.
Steaming tho faco Is harmless.
Care of tho Teethinp; Baby
jreent him from having- stomach trouble while
My baby shows signs ot teething-. How can I
prevent mm in
ha Is teethlns?
Mrs. HAY,
Teething is a normal process and docs
not necessarily dtstuib tho stomach and
bowels. Such troubles aro usually tho re
sult of giving tho. child Improper food or
food not properly prepared or somo other
error In the care of tho child.
High Blood Pressure and Salt
I have hlnh blood pressure. Why does not my
doctor allow me to use salt? J NO. H.
Salt causes contraction of tho artorlos,
and this contraction of tho arteries In
creases tho blood pressure. Tho less salt
a person takes tho better, If ho has high
blood pressure. All food contatns salt
enough to meet all tho actual needs of
tho body. Tho amount of salt taken nhould
bo very small, tho smaller tho better.

Mrs Thomas Iloblns, 1710 Locust street,
might bo termed tho commandcr-ln-chlcf for

tho Commltteo of Tubllc Safety of tho State
with tho olllclal tlt.o of Director of the
Industrial Uureau for Women nnd Girls.
At her olllco today, 1607 Wnlnut street,
she outlined tho plans for recruiting her

"Tho most Important thing to do Is to

"Pennsylvania Is a great manufacturing
State, a great farming State. Up to tho

iabcir to meet all demands. Slnco tho first
call to tho colors all that Is changed.
"Day after day the Stato Is losing men
from factory and field. Day after day fac

Purcau wo want to securo a llvo register

"In order to ha-o a registration that
coers tho entire Stato, wo purposo to havo
county chairmen, soon to bo appointed In
every county.
"They must bo active, patriotic, Intelligent
women They must bo In touch with labor
conditions In tho Stato. It will bo their
duty to receive tho names and tho occupa

tho nblllty to Berve In tho Industrial nrmy.
"These chairmen will In turn report to the
centrat olllccs. Thero will bo six of thorn,
ono In every zono already established by
tho Commltteo of Public Safety.
"Of course, all this system will bo with
out avail unless tho women of Pcnnsyl
an.la do their part.
"It Is to tho women who do not have to
work under normal conditions that tho call
should sound most clearly. We do not want
nor do wo expect women who aro tied down

duties.
"Wo havo no work to bo dons at homo.
"Wo want women and girls who nro able
to work eight hours a day, If they are un
trnlned wo want to train them. If they
aro trained wo can placo them quickly,
"In my opinion, a Klrl or young woman
who sends her sweetheart or her brother to
tho trenches and then turns a denf car to tho
call to tho factory or to tho fields Is ne
much of a slacker as the man who refuses
to heed tho call to the colors.

They Include:

"That's tho sort of thing tho Pennsylva

her lessons for today. I am going to ox
cuso her for tho rest of tho day. Patsy,
you may go home."
So I left tho room, which Is what she
wanted, nnd that was where tho Joko came
n. For when wo went through tho hall the
door to ono of tho big girls' rooms waa open,
so Rowdy nnd I stood in tho door. The
teacher's bark was toward us, so she did
not caro. When wo had stood thero a little
while tho teacher said, "Imogene, find tho
least common multiple." I could sco that
Imogeno was busy, so I said, "If you will
tell mo what It looks like, tcachor, Rowdy
and I will find It and bo glad to, for wo
haven't n thing In tho world to do." Tho
teacher was very much surprised, and she
said, "Whnt la that?" I said, "I have been
turned loose because I havo got my lessons
and I havo riot got a thing on earth to
do, nor Rowdy either, nnd If you will tell
mo what that least common multiple looks
llko nnd where you lost It, I shall bo glad to
hunt It for you." Then sho smiled and tho
children laughed and tho teacher said,
"Thank you, Patsy, but finding the least
common multiplo Is part of tho lesson." So
that was the Joke.
Rowdy nnd I wont to tho man's house
and I rodo tho mother horse nnd the baby
horso kept up with us till tho man camo.
Then wo went In to his houso nnd I had
a bowl of sour milk and nutmeg and sugar
nnd bread and butter, and It waa good. Ho
certainly Is a good housekeeper. Then ho
got a big bag and told mo to como with
him, and I did, and wo went Into tho woods
and I wondered what for, but after a while
wo camo to somo hickory trees. When he
threw up a club tho hickory nuts camo down
In a shower. That was lots of fun and It
took us all tho afternoon to fill tho bag.
Thou tho man tied up tho bag, and If you
will bollovo me It was nil ho could carry.
When wo got It bnck to his houso ho put a
bridle on tho mother horso and boosted me
