Peanut Butter Rich in Protein and Fat. Peanut butter, many people think, is good only for sandwish filling or for spreading on crackers and bread. lt can,however, be used in a number of dishes that are cheap, easy to make, and very wholesome, accord ing to home economic specialists of United States Department of Agri ' culture. Moreover these dishes have the rich flavor of the peanut with out the pastry texture of the butter. Food experts have known for a long time that peanuts were rich in protein and fat, two things that the "body needs. Within the last few years these scientists have also learn ed that there are many kinds of pro tein and that only those which sup ply everything needed to make body protein can he called perfect or com plete. These complete proteins are found in eggs, milk, and meat. While the protein of peanuts is not com plete within itself, it becomes so when combined with that of wheat. For this reason peanuts and wheat eaten together, even in a dessert, v reduce the amount of meat actually needed. Peanut butter, in spite of its name, . is just finely ground peanuts to which salt has been added, and particularly when ground at home or bought' in hulk is one of the cheapest foods on , the market at present, considering what it furnishes. Peanut butter can easily be made at home hy putting through a good grinder fresh roasted peanuts from which the red skins have been re moved. Salt can generally be mixed in more thoroughly if added to the nuts before they are ground. The machine should be adjusted to grind as fine as possible. If the butter is not fine enough after one grinding, 1 it may be put through the machine , a second time. Many stores are now 1 grounding peanut butter of excellent I quality on their own premises, and I Hiere are also many good commer- i cial brands.-Farm and Ranch. Marking the Woman's Vote. 1 Savannah women don't want to 1 vote branded ballots. And you can't blame 'em Furthermore it ought not J he the fact that any man's ballot is 1 marked with a number so that any- 1 body afterwards could tell how he 1 voted. If he has a right to vote, let 1 ?Slim vote, and let his ballot be not dis- ] t?nguishable from any other men's ( ballots enough to discover afterward i for whom he voted^-Savannah News. 1 lt appears that there was a move ment on in Savannah to so mark the ballots of women, in an election to be ?h?ld there, as to put the clerks and managers in position to separate the .women's votes from the men's votes. The women "put their feet down" on the suggestion. The theory of the ballot is that it is a secret. To so mark ballots as to be able to determine how this voter voted or how that voter voted is con trary to this theory. It may he that, in some localities, where the woman voter is demanding ? the privilege of exercising her right to vote and where there are at the time of registration and like compli -.cations, it is desired to separate the women votes from the men votes. vThe better plan would be to deter mine, in advance of the eloctions, the qualifications of the women to vote. As a general proposition, women's votes are not to he given marks of identification in order to afford op portunity to distinguish them from men's votes. Taking upon themselves the exercise of the right of the fran chise, the women are asking no privi lege and no favors and no considera tion' not given to men voters.-Au . gusta Chronicle. Horse Eats Five Tons Per Year On thirty -eight profitable farms Jn 1919 the average horse ate in one year 6,769 pounds of hay and 2,804 pounds of grain. One farmer got his "iorses through *the winter on 3,125 .pounds of hay but fed 4,776 pounds of grain. One farmer fed only 770 pounds of grain in one year but fed 10,811 pounds of hay. The farmer who fed the smallest amount of hay per horse fed an exceptionally large ?amount of grain. Many farmers found that by roughing their horses through the winter around a straw ?Stack and feeding a very moderate amount of grain the horses came through in good condition. As a gen eral proposition, the farms which had auch a distribution of labor that they .used each horse an average of only 2.2 hours per day fed much less grain and hay than the farms which used each horse an average of 3.8 boura per day, the latter, however, obtaining their horse labor at a smaller cost per hour.-Farm and Ranch. _/ CANTED: At once fifty head of young cattle. Will pay market price. W. G. WOOD. Garry -On! When during the war the English were facing tremendous odds and all .'breaks" seemed to go against them, they would rally to the cry, "Carry on!" The allies took up the refrain ?and in spite of disheartening blun ?ders and sickening set-backs pushed forward to victory. It was the indo mitable spirit exemplified in the words "Carry on" that won. Today as never before we need to carry on in business, in education, in religious advancement. If these I fundamentals are allowed to stag ! naate and die our civilization is doom I ed. There are signs pointing to such a condition in many European coun tries. The United States, with one or two possible exceptions, is the on ly country that is actually not slip ping backward. It was far easier to carry on in the heat of battle and glamour of war, with the desperate chance appealing to the heroic, than it is to overcome the difficulties encountered in our every-day fight for existance. This period of readjustment, the chaotic aftermath of war, is the crucial test, trying the very intelligence and souls of men and nations. Ali previous achievements in business, science and everything upon which our civ ilization is Builded will not carry on with the same spirit that brought them through the dark war periods of depression and despair. In the business world, no matter how weak and dull the market may be, no matter how slow the collect ions, without a determination to carry on men will falter, stop and go down in defeat. Conditions confronting'the world offer a test of endurance of all the faculties. We have reached a point where to stand still means to slip backward and to death. It will be the strong and capable business men filled with a determina tion to carry on who will come through the bad times and depression of the present. He will be the man who will marshal all his business abil ity and training toward making every effort count in going after and get ting business. He will say to himself, 'Now is the test of my salesmanship ability, my business acumen; now is when I can show my worth as a sales man and not an 'order taker.' I will :arry on. I will redouble my efforts ;o get business, through better sales manship, in personal contact and through advertising, keeping my joods fresh in-the minds of the pub lic by the aid of the written word, have fought a good fight in the busi ness world so far, and now when vic tory is apparently within sight, will carry on."

Syndicate. ) Nobody's boy, ten, raggedy "thin, as^ a whippet," but with au. attractive look on his clean, freckled-face'that challenged a second glance, stood be fore the entrance to the "Greatest Show on Earth." His intent gaze was. glued to the va.st cloud of canvas that, shut him out of Hie enchanted ground,, the glory of glories. Like Peri before the gate of Heaven, his whole soul's desire spoke from his earnest brown; eyes. "A\ant to go in, son?" The question, which needed no- ie-1 ply, came from a big; kindly, jolly faced man whose band was grippingly, held by a little nve-yearyold chap- who, was making his first visit to-a circus* "All right/' lie nodded to the lad? whose speaking eyes made other re ply unnecessary. "Come along with, us." The magic words- were the ses ame that opened the- path, to- untold! wonders, beside which: the Arabian Nights are tame as Mother Goose rhymes.' Then began the- journey through Zooland, the little kid, and; the midr diing sized Ad hugging close to. the big kid who bad, with the flip of a. greenback, become a giant fairy, to-two? adoring, happy boys. Such fierce looking animals with long, queer names*, that no little boy could be expected to. know printed on their gorgeous cages. Such funny,, homely, wise looking monkeys that peered through the bars of their liber ty lost caged homes with bored' or saucy manner. Such, huge, hungry, elephants that never seemed to get enough peanuts, although an army of llttle boys and girls kept them con stantly supplied. Then such corking ice cream cones, candy and drinks out of long necked bottles, straw imbibed/, ambrosial sweets to enchanted kids in i an enchanted heaven of pleasure. "Now," said! the big fairy, when-the two kinds had oaten all they could 1 possibly hold, "we'll get our seats and; be ready for the circus folks."- Three, chairs in the second row-so little-five- ? year-old could see all the fan-were? bought from "de guy what stood'in.a-i teeny pulpit all to himself," said1 the j stray lad. and rhe big kid; with the. j two little kids, sat down to. walt for ? the band. "Who's, boy bte you?" askedi the j giant fairy, whose real name was-Do*. Curtis. ! "Nobody's,, sir." "What is your name?" The doctor's;, voice was very kind, "Just Jim." Then the band began, ti), play and} there was no, chance for farther aues-. ? feigning. The big kid found its. nearness rath* er overpowering, but he looked ,at the happy little kids and: he diflu?. care-If; the noise did make him. temporarily ( ?eaf. Its immensity seemed none, too j great for his guests of honor. ( Finally* the music ended , in,,, a loud, j explosion of crescendos, and the. band, scattered to. give- place tp the wonder-,- j fal ring shows. I But first came the. grand parade of-, all the circus folk in. gorgeous array*. j that kept the two little kids dancing; on their toes In sheer delight.. This was followed by the most; j amazing performances that ever, spell-- ! bound the eyes of a kid. Such breath-. I less, heart thrilling acts that made- ! life, for the little kid and. the mlddVog- j sized kid, so. full of joy it: wa*,i akin> ! to pain. When the program was about, half' j over. Dr. Curtis wag. notified; by. an. j attendant that he was. wanted on the* ? phone. I "Jim, while I'm gone, I want yon. ; to take care, of little Carl. Tissure- 1 I can trust a bis boy like you." "Yes,, slr, you kin," very earnestly;.. I But when the thrilling, pony race, with their monkey drivers, took the ' sawdust tracks, little Cart became a. > serious responsibility. Both boys j were keyed- to the. highest pitchi of; excitement, and; the five-year-old, in, a wave-of hypnotic ecstasy, bolted into, the track before- the horrified Jim] 1 could hinder, instantly he sprang, after the flying little body, while at-, tendants, rushed forward from, far-, away distances, men shouted, women,, screamed, and the ponies raced op. But. Nobody's Jim grasped his small: charge and hurled him away from, the pounding feet that struck the. rescder instead. When Dr. Curtis returnedj he-found! his Utile son crying In the arms of a motherly woman, and the. unconscious Jim gently supported by aa attendant. "He saved the kid's life all right," declared the circus man. "And his life, too, shall be saved." The doctor's jolly looking face was sternly determined. When Jim woke up with a bnnd-. aged head, In the hospital, his dazed brain was yet full of circus glory aad present surroundings were slowly e?fr. niznble. "You'll soon be all right again," smiled Dr. Curtis. "The kid. Was he hurt?" MNot a scratch. I've a long score to pay, old chap." The big fairy's voice sounded so queer. "Just like m> was crying'," thought Jim, "only big folks don't cry." ' And this is how It ended.
