PEANUTS FOR COTTON SEED
The discouragement of the Ameri
can cotton industries by the war has
necessitated the substitution of other
crops for cotton this year. This con
dition has long been considered desir
able by agricultural authorities. It
has the disadvantage, however, of re
ducing the production of cotton seed
oil, and suspending the operation of
large cottonseed mills, w r hich within
the past Ave years have become im
portant industrial establishments.
In addition to closing the mills, the
shortage of cottonseed oil affects many

For years we have been stating in the newspapers of the

We are permitted to publish in this announcement
extracts from the letters of five women. All have been
recently received unsolicited. Could any evidence be
more convincing?
IHODGDON, ME. —" I had pains in both sides and such a soreness
• I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached and I
was so nervous I could not sleep, and I thought I never would be
any better until I submitted to an operation, but I commenced taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new
woman."—Mrs. HAYWARD SOWERS, Hodgdon, Me.
2 SHELBY VILLE, KY. —"I suffered from a severe female trouble.
• My right side hurt me badly—it was finally decided that I
must be operated upon. When my husband learned this he got a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for me, and after
taking it a few days I got 'better and continued to improve until I
am now welL"—Mrs. MOLLIE SMITH, R.F.D., Shelbyville, Ky.
3 HANOVER, PA. —" The doctor advised a severe operation, but my

experienced great relief in a short time. Now I feel like a new person
and can do a hard day's work and not mind it."—Mrs. ADA WILT,
303 Walnut St., Hanover, Pa.
4 DECATUR. III.—"I was sick in bed and three of the best physi

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
dustry is now conducting: a series of
experiments which it is hoped will
overcome both disadvantages by sub
stituting 1 peanut oil for many of the
purposes for which cottonseed oil is
now being used. It has been found
that with slight modifications the cot
tonseed oil machinery can be used for
manufacturing peanut oil. The seed
hullers can be made to shell the pea
nuts. Peanut oil is already being
manufactured extensively. One of its
uses is a combination with olive oil
for a second grade salad oil. Quanti
ties of it have recently been shipped
to Italy for that purpose.

Why I Married a Second Time
By Dorothy Dh
"Why did I marry the second
time?" repeated the Man with the
Cynical Smile, "because I am a
gambler at life. Because I am an
optimist In philosophy and a plung
er in business and I took a second
chance at happiness.
"Heaven knows my first matri
monial venture was disastrous
enough. I married one of those wo
men who seem made for the un
doing of men, a beautiful, fair, starry
eyed young creature, who look as soft
and fresh, and tender as a June rose,
but who was as hard and petrified
within as a piece of New England
granite.
"I was young, romantic, with my
head filled with visions of what life
would be with a wife at my side who
answered to my every ideal of mind
and soul. I waked up from my dream
to find out I was tied to a woman
who regarded matrimony merely as
a meal ticket, and a husband as a
sort of human cash register to be
worked for all she could get out of
him.
"That wasn't enough to satisfy her,
or make the game interesting in those
days, for I was just Getting a start in
business and money was none too
plentiful. In consequence our married
life was as good an understudy of an
earthly purgatory as you could wish
to see. I, nervous, overworked, over
wrought, fighting desperately and
futilely against my wife's mad ex
travagance and the flood of bills that
were always threatening to over
whelm me, and drag me down into
ruin. She, furious because she could
not have the jewels and clothes, and
motors, and trips that she saw other
women have, always reproaching me
and flinging in my face the bitter
accusation that I did not succeed as
well as some other men did.
♦•lad When It Ended
"At last it ended, as such a mar
riage was bound to end, in divorce.
She found an old millionaire that she
befooled with her soft baby face as
she had befooled me, and I thanked
God for my deliverance when she
went to Keno to get a divorce from
me upon the trumped up charge of
inhuman treatment, though
the OTily cruel and inhuman treatment
I had ever inflicted i*pon her was my
failure to supply her with all the
money she desired.
"There are many faults that a man
can forgive a woman, but the one
thing that strips the last vestige of
glamor from about her is to find her
sordid, to realize that th* only thing
she cares for it what she can get out
of him. I had had a bitter lesson in
feminine cupidity, and so for a long
time after my wife left me I saw in
woman only the vampire, a loathsome
creature who sucks the very ilfe
blood out of a man, and then, when
she has left him worthless, passes on
to another victim.
"But after a while I got a saner
point of view. I said to myself that
because one apple on a tree was rot

Coats are sure to be needed with the
first cool days. Here is an exceedingly
smart one that is rendered very dressy
by means of the sash, yet which is emi
nently simple and easy to make. The
fronts are plain, body and skirt portion
being joined beneath the sash, but the
back of the body portion is made over
a lining and the outside is finished sepa
rately to extend over the sash, BO giving
a distinctive and novel effect. The patch
pockets are fashionable, but they are not
necessary and may be used or not a»
occasion requires. The neck may be
finished with a high collar or with a
sailor collar and the high collar can be
either buttoned up closely or rolled open
slightly at the neck. For coats of the
sort will be used a great variety of ma
terials; broadcloth is always smart; the
heavier poplins and ribbed silks are fash
ionable; later, velvet will be extensively
used and for every-day wear, serge and
cheviot make excellent materials, with
the sash of any pretty silk or ribbon.
For the 8 year size will be needed 2%

THE YELIAJW FAMINE
The present situation in the dye
industry, due to the cutting off of
shipments of certain color Ingredients
from Europe, is responsible for some
of the colors which are to be fashion
able this Pall. Patriotic women who
are interested in promoting American
business interests have been advised
to refrain from ordering the shades of
brown and green which require yellow
as a base. Yellow dye Ingredients are
becoming scarcer each week, and a
number of manufacturers are embar
rassed by this situation.
The women who will confine their
Kali wardrobes to such colors as blue,
purple, black and gray will render
their countrymen and effective Ber
wlca.
ten it did not prove that all apples
were bad, and because I had the
misfortune to marry one woman with
the soul of a money grubber, did not
prove all women were mere bundles
or selfishness and avarice.
"Moreover, r am. as I said, a gam
bler by nature, and so I determined
not to drop out of the matrimonial
game because I had lost out at my
first throw, but to put down my last
coin on the table and to call for a
new shuffle and deal of the cards.
"Risky, of course, but of one thing
I was sure, and that was that noth
ing could be as bad as what I had
ben through, and I had the loser's
desperate faith that luck was bound
to change, and that fate must relent
and be kind to me at last. Also I
had that strange feeling of baffled
happiness, of being denied something
that was my right, of being cheated
out of something that was my due,
that those who have made miserable
marriages always have.
"Old bachelors look on even the
most congeniei marriages and the
happiest homes without a pang of
envy or desire, but we whose mar
riages have been failures are eaten
up with the sense of what we have
missed when we behold a man and
woman being to each other what God
intended they should be.
Why He Tried Again
shines so brightly as to the eyes of
those whose own (Ires upon the
hearth have gone out. Home never
"The light of household fires never
seems so dear to those who have
tried to make a home and found it
in ruins about them. No arms are
so empty as those that have been
stretched out to the little children
that never came to them. No heart
ever aches so for companionship as
that which has held a once dear head
upon it that has gone. It is the urge
of what you have loved and lost, of
what you have striven for and failed
to get. that sends the unhappily mar
ried back once more to risk the
storms of matrimony again.
"In the face of that longing, of
that desperate need, of that de
termination to wrest happiness from
life at last, of what avail are even
the warnings of one's own experi
ence? One knows the danger, but
one dares it. It is the great adven
ture, and strangely enough, just be
cause one has failed the first time, he
is sure he cannot fail the second, and
so with his fingers crossed, and his
rabbit's foot in his pocket, he march
es the second time up to the altar.
"And generally his gambler's super
stition is justified and his luck does
change, and his second marriage is
a sjuccess."
The man with the cynical smile
paused and lit a cigaret. "Doctor
Johnson said it," he added. "You re
member, he said that every second
marriage was the triumph of hope
over experience. As a diagnosis of
the psychology of the second marriage
that cannot be beaten —or amplified,"

MRS. PRESTON GIBSON
One of the largest. Jewelry robberies
in many years was that of Mrs. James
McMillan, widow of the late United
States senator from Michigan, at her
summer home, Eagle Head, at Man
chester-by-the-Seu, In Massachusetts,
when valuables worth $75,000 were
taken from the house. And It has be
come one of the most mysterious cases
on which detectives have had to work.
One agency was called off after con
siderable Investigation had been made.
Mrs. Preston Gibson, granddaughter
of Mrs. McMillan, was with her at the
time. Mrs. McMillan kept her jewelry
ir a safe near her room. Mrs. McMil
lian saved some $6,000 worth of her
jewels because she wore a $4,000 pair
of earrings anu a $2,000 necklace to
lied. Detectives said they could learn
nothing about the case, but a state
ment was made by a company which
insured the valuables that $42,000 had
been paid to Mrs. McMillan.
IMMIGRANT BIRDS
Few persons realize that birds, like
human beings, are ever on the lookout
for new and desirable homes, and
may frequently be induced to immi
grate if sufficient attractions are of
fered.
The United States Reclamation Ser
vice has lately begun an attempt to
Induce desirable birds to live upon the
lakes of Its irrigation projects. It Is
meeting with gratifying success in
many instances. The feathered set
tlers seem to like their new homes, as
well as do their human neighbors.
A pair of Kentucky cardinals taken
to Boise, Idaho, took up their home In
evident content and reared their young
last year successfully. This year sev
eral pairs of them appeared In the
vicinity, each of which has raised a
family during the past summer. It
would be Interesting to know If the
additional birds who came this sum
mer were the young birds who had
been hatched the year before or others
who had been influenced to join a
colony by learning of the liberal quan
tity of sunflower seed provided as
food.

FEEDING YOUR CHHIjDREX
Wherever three or four young ma
trons are gathered together, there,
sooner or later, the conversation will
drift to the proper feeding of little
children, especially babies. Each moth
er will have her pet authority and the
names of specialties and title of books
on diet will fly around the circle. Those
of the group, however, who have two
or more children of their own are apt
to be more conservative in their opin
rules and formulas, than the new be
rules and formulas .than the new be
ginners. They have learned that each
child is a study by itself and that what
suited one is by no means sure to suit
the next.
Said a mother of five recently, "I
have been obliged to revise all my
theories with each of my children. I

of a well-known specialist and my first

giving her beef juice, almost drop by

cording to medical authority, she
should have had meat in any form. I
have come to believe that only two
things are absolutely essential, and In
variable in the treatment of the feed
ing problem—common sense and ex
quisite cleanliness. I carry my desire
for the latter to such a point that I
have separate cooking utensils for the
children's food. These are all of
enameled ware, the smooth sanitary
surface of which affords no lurking
place for germs. In summer the final
rinsing water for these utensils con
tains a dash of soda. An enameled
ware double boiler takes care of all
the milk heating. Children's milk
should never be really boiled except In
cases of illness when H is to be used to
check dysentery. Three sizes of
enameled ware saucepans answer to
prepare the other food.

Lime Starvation

tion of potatoes for young children
Just coming into a varied diet, is a
grave one. Almost all children like
potatoes, and when baked they are
easily digested, but some children no
not seem to assimilate the large per
centage of starch in this vegetable.
When this is the case substitute rice
for potatoes. To cook the rice have
the water boiling and drop in the rice
very slowly, stirring all the while.
