MODERN PROCESSES IMPROVE
THE OIL, WITH THE DEMAND
INCREASING RAPIDLY.
Peanuts are playing an important
part in the food conservation pro
gram. Long before the war the pea
nut, because of its great nutritive
value, was found useful as food for
both man and beast, but now it fig
ures in such a surprising number of
war activities that not a particle of
the vine or its product is allowed to
go to waste, according to W. M. Pret
low, one of the largest growers in
Virginia.
“In furthering war activities pea
nuts are valued for the oil they pro
duce, which is used in manufacturing
the highest explosive compound,” said
Mr. Pretlow. “Mills for the manufac
ture of this oil have sprung up ev
erywhere, and the government orders
increase daily. Because of this de
mand there will be a large increase
in the output next year. It is feared
that there may be a shortage in the
supply needed by confectioners be
fore the producers are able to adjust
themselves to the situation.
Grade Greatly Improved.
“The grade of peanut oil has im
proved tremendously. This is very
largely due to the demand for peanut
oil as a substitute for olive oil, which
has become scarce. Much greater
care must be given to the production
of salid oil in order to fill the gap left
by the scarecity of olive oil and many
new processes have been worked out
and some splendid results will soon
be shown. Peanut oil is excellent for
cooking, cosmetics, sardine packing, !
oleomargarine, soap, miners’ lamps, !
medical emulsions, kid gloves and silk
manufacture, and peanut oil ‘foots’
are used for putty, washing powder,
glycerine, black grease, roofing lino
leum, insulating material, oilcloth,
paint base, cotton rubber and artifi
cial leather. !
“There has not been the increased
demand for peanuts themselves as
food which it was believed would |
come with the war. This may be be
cause they combine so readily with
other foods and are more easily trans- |
ported as peanut butter or in some
other preparation, for there is a!
great waste of space in the hulls.
Peanuts were recently selected as one |
of four most nutritious products un-!
der consideration by the Red Cross in |
preparing a palatable food for the!
soldiers., |
“The many uses of the peanut are
just beginning to appear. While very |
little of the product was ever allowed
to go to waste, beginning -~ith peo
nut flour for bread and goii. down
the long list we find that every part!
can be utilized. Even the vines are|
used for fodder and feed for the cat
tle, and hogs can be depended upon!
to root up any peanuts that are over-'
looked and left in the ground. |
Hulls Are Valuable. ‘
“Before the importance of the very
high grade oil was considered the
hulls*and all were used in Its manu- |
facture, but now they are carofullv|
separated, and the hulls are carefully |
prepared for their particular use.'
While a few of the peanut mills are
grinding peanut hulls with mixed feed |
for stock and others are selling them |
for stock as they came from the sell- |
er, there is still another market for'
them—that of polishing tin plate dur- |
ing its manufacture. When ground|
for this purpose they must be bput|
through attrition mills fine enough to |
pass through thirty-mesh wire. Thisl
product brings as much as "20 per
ton. The inferior hulls are used as.
fertilizer and fuel. l
“The meats, besides maki- .« an ex
cellent flour, can be utilized for stock
feed and fertilizer, and al-~» in the!
manufacture of dyestuffs, Peanut
meal is now produced in large quan
tities. The by-product of peanut oil
—a peanut cake—is the most recent
addition to the list of useful products.
When there was no great need for
conservation this cake, which is a
hard mass, was thrown away or some
times was ground up and used for
fertilizer, but it is now made into
peanut meal, or the better grade is
uced as a flour substitute.
Twenty-twe Grades.
“There are twenty-two grades of
peanuts now grown in the South.
More than four million acres are now
under cultivation and much of the
Jand formerly used for cotton is now
LESS MEAT [F BACK
Take a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you—Drink
lots of water,
Fating meat regularly eventually pro- 1
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis
ery in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren’t acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad BSalts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidoeys will then aet fine. This famous
eelts is made from the acid of grapes
end lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for gemerations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine eo it no longer irri
tules, thus ending bladder disorders,
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;

women toke now and then to keep the
Lidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
wvoiding serious kidney disease,
used for growing peanuts and has
proved just about as productive. Tex
as, Alabama and Georgia lead the
states inramount produced. Each has
well over a million acres and Florida,
Virginia, Arkansas and the Carolinas
have from half a million to 150,000
acres under cultivation. Oklahoma,
Louisiana and Mississippi have shown
great strides and bid fair very soon
to be among the most productive
states.
“The peanut market of the west
ern states heretofore has been al
most completely given over to the
Oriental peanuts, most of which have
come from China, and there has been
considerable confusion over the em
bargo recently placed on importa
tions. While it has been possible to
import peanuts from the Orient and
sell them at a lower price than that
quoted by the domestic dealers, the
domestic product is superier and with
increased acreage the prices can be
better adjusted.”
FOCD PLANNING
FOR THE FAMILY
Manv women admit that while
cleaning takes a great deal of time,
still it is one of the tasks of the
home which can be hurried over or
neglected in extreme need. But the
three meals a day problem seems the
one from which there is no escape.
The windows may be left unwashed
if help is short, but no matter what
the circumstances or how you feel
the family must eat and so food must
be prepared regularly. It is estimat
ed that 70 per cent. of the total time
spent on all house work is devoted to
meal planning, cooking, serving and
dishwashing, whether the family be%
rich or poor. |
It is unnecessary that this propo
sition of time be spent by the home
maker in order that her family be
properly nourished. Even though
three meals a day must be prepared
every day in the year it is possible
to reduce the work involved: l
1. By studying and understanding
food values.
2. By following cooking methods
that are well planned.
3. By using fuels and utensils that
save effort and time. |
Cooking is too frequently unthink
ingly done to feed the family with
out plannin: to nourich it. Fov in
stance, a per.on might eat several
large dumpling: which would un
doubtedly feed him but not nourish
him properly. 1t is the duty of ev
ery home maker o inform herzelf
about food values. |
A true understanding of food val
ues is the first step toward simpler,
easier cooking. While the knowledge
of food is a study in itself, neverthe
-123, there are cerizin principles of
nuilition on which easier and better |
preparation of meals depends. Thel
nutrients of food and their use in the!
body are: l
1. Protein found in lean meats,
peas, beans, milk, grains, nuts, etc.‘
Protein is the c¢nly nutrient which
can furnish the material to replace
old or grow new tissue.
2. Carbohydrates: Starches, sugar,
ete. They furnish fuel for heat and
muscular energy of the body.
3. Fats: Cream; butter; lard, etc,,
also furnish fuel for heat and ener
£y,
4. Minezal calts: Found in the out
er coats of all vegetables, fruits and
cereals. They are necessary for di
gestion and for the blood.
5. Bulk or waste products, cellu
wose of celery, beets, turnips, car
rots, spinach, etc., act as the brooms
~f the system,
6. Water: Necessary in dissolving
foods, carrying away wastes and reg
ulating temperature. ;
For the average person the best
meal is the one planned after what
may be called the “balanced ration,”
that is one which contains the above
food values nreportior tie.
The balanced meal is less costly
since it does not permit two kinds
of meat or rice and potatoes, etc,
cerved together. It saves time in
cobrine sinec it i 3 singls. 1T aanas
time since it requires some thougit
which results in the r2als being
+lanned ahead and not wai till the
last moment, maybe having worried
for hours over “what shall I cook?”
' When any cooking is analyzed it
}is fourd that it consists of the fol
lowing three steps:
1. Grouping food materials and
lutensils. : - :
2. Actual preparation, or work. |
8. “Cleaning” up.
The first help, then, to efficient
cooking is efficient grouping. Place
the tools and utensils where you
need them so that it will not be nec
escary to walk across the kitchen,
for instance, to get the grits; and an
other place for cooking vessels; an
other to wash; another to salt and
still another to put on the stove.
Much time is often wasted -in
clearing up. For example, if a recipe
calls for liquid and dry materials al
ways measure the dry first and in
this way use only one measure. Wipe
as you go and cook at the same time
dishes needing similar tools. The
three meals a day probiem can be
~cl=ad if the home mokers will _qive‘
. fair proportion of thought to this
most important subject upon which!
rests largely the health and prosperi
ty of America. |

!IS AMERICA’'S REPLY TO THE
i GERMAN GOVERNMENT’S
PEACE NOTE.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 14.
‘President Wilson today answered
Germany’s peace proffer with a note
declaring that there can be no peace
with a German government controll
ed by a military autocracy, and no
i thought of an armistice while Ger
| man atrocities continue on land and
| sea.
| The German note, which was offi
| cially received in Washington yester
!day, accepts the president’s terms
'as laid down in his addresses, par-
Micularly that of January 8, accepts
evacuation of invaded territory as a
‘necesshry preliminary to an armis
‘tice and asks for a mixed commission
to make the arrangements; declares
that the chancellor speaks “in the
name of the German government and !
of the German people,” and that its|
only object in entering into discus-!
sions is to agree on the practical de
tails for carrying out the terms
President Wilson has laid down. ;
When the time comes to consider
an armistice, the president says, the |
military advisers of the United States |
and the allies will be consulted and !
no military advantage of the armies |
fighting the central powers will be |
lost. !
The president’s reply was vigor-|
ously applauded when read to the|
senate immediately after it had been |
made public. The senate had remain- |
ed in session in order to receive it. |
STILL POUNDING GERMANS.
British, Belgian and French forces
attacked early this morning on a wide
front in Flanders. The allied troops
are driving in the general direction
of Ghent and Courtrai.
The attack seems to be generally
from Comines to the northward. The
troops of the three nations went over
the top after a ““crash’” bombardment
only. There was no preliminary bom
bardment. It undoubtedly tactically
surprised the enemy.
No Halt of ‘“‘Peace.”
By the fury with which the attack
was launched it is evident that the
firhting armies are not paying the
siel +o:t attention to the “‘peace
tallz.”” They smashed forward with
all the dash characterizing recent
operations.
Reports from the advanced posi
tions this morning indicated that the
three groups of allied troops were
making excellent progress in the Bel
gian coast salient from which the
Germans have been precipitately re
moving war material for two weeks.
Every foot of ground gained here
also deepens the Lille salient and
success means that the enemy will be
obliced to evacuate the region to the
gsouth as well as to the north of the
front attacked.
