The best grade of peanut butter consists simply of ground roasted nuts with sufficient salt to render the product palatable. When a good grade of nuts is used, no additional oil will be required When making home-made peanut butter, in,case 1 wish to increase the quantity of oil, I use either olive oil or refined cotton seed or peanut oils, such as are prepared for salad or table purposes. There is not enough advantage in using olive oil to offset the in creased cost, either of the others working perfectly for the purpoee. 1 simply grind the nnts, using either a food chopper with special plate sold with the machine for this purpose, or a mill made espec ially for the purpose. These can be bought in all sizes from a small one adapted to family use to the largest sizes as used by large lanufacturing concerns. Use freshly roasted nuts, and remove the outer red covering be fore they are ground. —George Meyers in Southern Farming.

A preacher at the close of one of his sermons, said: “Let all those in the house who are paving, their debts stand up.” Presently every man, woman and child with one exception rose to their feet. The preacher seated them auu said: “Now every man not paying their debts stand up.” The execep tion, a care-worn, hungry looking individual, clothed in his last sum mer’s suit, slowly assumed a per pendicular position. “How is it, my friend,” asked the minister, “you tire the only man not able to meet your obligation?” “I run a newspaper,” he answer ed meekly, “and tae brethren who stood up are my subscribers, and—” “Let us pray,” exclaimed the preacher. -Ex Mrs. Julian Weems spent Tues d iv in Allan.a.

No Taste in a Kiss. ‘The greatest surprise in the world to the girl who is kissed for the first ti ne is th it there is no taste to it.” —Ex. No t.iste to it? Well, bv the hen feathers on Cun i’s d irt, the ' editor o: that paper must be color blind-and dea l and dumb in hisi palate. They tell us, those vvli’o have tried it that it tastes like j the double-distilled essence of honey spread thick on a large fat slice of pumpkin p ■; that its taste resembles a sip of m* -tar brewed by the gods and served in a dew covered hotr'y-suckle blossom. Way b:rck in the dim past be fore we had nr die d all our teeth and when we had a cinch on the beauty pri/\ the prtlir-st girl in til, world told us with her own rosebud lips that our first kiss felt like a flock cf Paradise birds fluttering out of each ear and endedjwith a sensation like a cov ey of winged angels p juriag mo* lasses down her .-ipine. No taste to the first kiss? Wiij it , like Hi-, ambrosia to cherry bios ->o;ns just at the time when the ' hirr of the hum mug birds’ wings come to one siren song. No taste to the nrsi kiss? Tne man who iuvoiii .1 that phrase must be an ice box. —Th * Pitchfork. Haw The War Started. From Birtleyville (Ark.) Enter prise. In the first pla:e a Servian soci alist got drunk and killed an Aus t'rian nobleman and his escort (or maybe it was his consort, Austria then got hot under the collar over the incident and said do Servi if “See here, now, we don’t want am of that rough stuff. I want to b • a father to you. Come into my woodshed.” Russia was peeping through the fence, when she heard the conversation and seeing what was going on said to Austria: “Don’t you dare touch that child; he’s my kid, and anyhow, you’d make a hell of a looking daddy.” “You got another think coming,” said Austria. “I don’t like the color of your eyes, anyhow, and your feet don’t track besides, and I can lick you with one hand tied.” “Bully, boy,” says Wilbehn to Austria. “If you can’t lick him I can, and by goMi, I’ll do it. I can' lick anybo ;>;1 can lick everybody. We’ll take him on together.” So Germany slips one on ly-ance when she ain’t looking, and lands with both feet in the middle of Belgium. “Git off my b: liy,” says Belgium, “or I’ll bite your leg off.” “That’s not fair,” says France. “Take that you snob,” handing Germany a hot one on the snoot. “1 hate a scrap,” says England, “but I can.smash the jaw of the guy that slaps my friend.” “You don’t hate it any worse than I do,” sa.s Japan, as she squares off for a hand in the game. “Well I guess you started it, anyhow,” rays Wilhelm to Nick. Just then, everybody begins to yell, “you started it yourself,” and each one sticks out his tongue at the other fellow and they all clinch, and the little fellows.begin to dance around watching for a chance to get in a punch and run. And there you are. W.tat’s No 1 7 djinsas. hew !>■' >o! >r * i! 1 /, *th > wondesp ful record th P shows at en.i or j * t i v ‘a* s pro hibtion of ('• f tlcoholic ITqt unrs.
