THE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, FOOD VALUE OF CHESTNUTS Are Rich In Starch and Fat, Better Than Potatoes and Almost as Gocd as Bread. In France much attention is given to the propagating of the chestnut, and the fruit is spoken of with enthu- slasm and respect. In French litera ture, especially In stories for children, the chestnut tree is quite as impor- tant a feature as the plum tree in the politics of this country, where we speak lightly of the chestnut and then pay at the rate of $6 a bushel for them. The small French chestnut is called the “chataigne,” but the large or giant chestnut is the “mare ron.” The marron is cultivated ex- tensively in France and Italy, where it is used In large quantities. “Every soda fountain menu,” the New York Soda Fountain, a trade Journal, “has some reference to rons, and marrons glace are a favor- ite after-dinner morsel at all the larg. er hotels, yet few persons realize that while primarily dessert delicacy, marrons are an exceedingly whole- some and valuable food. It {8 not generally known that the fruit of the chestnut tree is nearly as valuable as bread and more valuable than tatoes as a food, being rich in starch and fat.” In some much attention planting of chestnut trees several hill Brown, Monroe and Morgan, the marron and the smaller sized chestnuts could be made a source of profit. says a is now given to Ther Indiana, a are counties in MAKES A Shortington Finds That Things Once | Bemoaned May Frove Great- est Blessing. “You know how opposites at- tracted,” said Mr. Shortington “When I was a younger very particular friend a chap who was feet I wasn’t much more than six.

The officer to whom this statement was made was extremely thoughtful for a moment. Then he added: “Can you remember who was Republican candidate for that year? “Sure, I don't remember who was running for prisidint,” was the re- sponse, “but it was the same year that Stuffy McGinnis was appointed Dog Drownder.” the president Common in New York. The stranger in New York was stare tled by the clanging of an ambulance bell. The ambulance stopped at the side door of a hotel and the attends ants hurriedly entered the building with their stretcher. But there was no crowd, no confusion. “What's the excitement?” the strane ver asked a native, “There's no excitement,” the latter :plied. “A stage lady has shot a ~althy gentleman.

Lunch I omitted wholly. In addition I walked at least six miles every day and did all sorts of stunts in my room with a gymnasium outfit. Prior to going to bed I perpetrated all sorts of muscular contortions and rolled on the floor till my body was bruised. At the end of thirty days I felt fit to run a three-mile foot-race or go in the ring with the champion.

As times go on we have the two re- sults’ to be anticipated. Men reach the point——usually early in life—where business or politics absorbs their whole attention, and they have little time, strength or interest left for the broader culture and the amenities cf life, while women are prone to be tco much preoccupied with these things, to the injury of the home—not, per- haps, in its smooth running, for in the average American the wheels of its machinery usually run smoothly, though at great expense and to the injury of the home spirit. If the two could averaged we should more nearly anproach the ideal. Men need more relaxation, more rest, more variety, especially as they ad- vance in life. YWomen need more con- centration, more definiteness in their work, and especially more interest and a different kind of ideal in their home- making. N. D.
