Home Demonstration Notes (Mrs. Vaughn's Recipe). If you have a room that you wish to furnish, or if your daughter's room is not as attractive as you . would like for it to be, why not try the plan that was demonstrated at tue State Fair last October? A good sized dry goods box was covered on top with blue burlap, and had blue flowered cretonne pleated around the sides. Above this hung a mirror, and in front of this dress ing table stood a small box covered with cretonne which served as a seat. In a corner of the room a "wardrobe" was made by .tacking burlap hang ings on a shelf. The window had white, inexpensive curtains, with cre tonne valance and hangings. Und?r the window was a long box covtied with buralp and cretonne, which serv ed as a clothes chest as well as a win dow seat. The wash stand was made like the dressing table-only smaller and with white oil cloth on top. A burlap-covered screen stood in front of the wash stand. Any color of cretonne or other suitable material could bet used, and it would not be necessary to use bur lap at all. The bed should be prefer ably white iron, and the small table and chairs would look better if en ameled white. Rugs should be inex pensive, such as grass or rag ones, and should harmonize in color with the hangings. If a lack of funds keeps you from having your house painted or screen ed, why not raise chicMtens and tur keys, or potatoes and peanuts or sell some of your fancy work. There are always ways for women and girls to make money-and life is too short not to have our homes and surround ings as sanitary and attractive as we can make them. "Rocks." Try these for school lunch. They keep moist and in excellent condition for considerable time. 1-3 cup shortening 1 cup brown sugar or % cup syrup and M cup white sugar 2 eggs % cup milk 1 teaspoonful vanilla 2 tablespoons cocoa ;2 cups flour .2 teaspoensfur baking powder 2% teaspoonsful pastry spice 1 cup dates or raisins 1 cup nuts.

Alternate milk and dry ingredients 'sifted to gether) drop on cookie pan and bake in moderate oven about 25 to 30 min utes. The oven should be hot enough (about 400 degrees) when cakes are put in to set them and not allow the batter to "run," but the heat must be reduced to bake them without bum ming them. Plant Peanuts and Velvet Beans. Nothing will do better than velvet beans for winter grazing for hogs and cattle. You had better get into the game if you want to be safe for Mr. B. Weevil and family. Get Coun ty Agent Carvvile to order your seed in cooperative shipments and save money. Velvet beans are from $2.70 to 92.80 delivered. Peanuts are $13.75 per hundred pounds deliver ed. See Mr Carwile at once as these prices hold good for only two weeks. McCravy Brothers Again.

WANTED: Any quantity of pine cord wood, cither dry or newly cut, four feet in length. ADDISON MILLS. Brick Making Plant. There is so much activity in Edge field these days along commercial and industrial lines that it is difficult to keep posted right up to the minute. The latest enteprise to be launched is a brick manufacturing plant. The capital stock will be $15,000, and as much more could be raised if it were needed. There is no doubt about it, Edgefield people are learning to do things. And they have the money, too, as is shown by the bank deposits when the bank statements are pub lished. U. D. C. Meeting Tuesday. The Edgefield Chapter U. D. C., will meet on Tuesday, March 9th at 4 o'clock with Mrs. A. A. Woodson. The following historical program will be carried out: Mount Vernon-Paper by Mrs. P. M. Feltham. Song-Mrs. Robert Waring, Jr. One of Edgeijield's Homes-Mrs. J. H. Canf;elou. Records of our boys in the World War-(continued). The ladies are asked to make these records complete. W. C. T. U. Meeting. On Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock the regular meeting of the W. C. T. U. will be held with Mrs. W. F. Mc Murrain. The new Year Books have been ready for some time but the in clement weather at the February meeting prevented the full distribu tion of them. The following is the program. Subject-Child Welfare. Devotions-Psalm 23. Citizenship Study. Lullaby-On Victrola. Talk on Child Welfare-Miss Grace Brumbaugh. Stump Pulling Demonstration. For the benefit of the farmers of the Johnston and neighboring com munities there has been arranged a stump pulling demonstration to be held on the farm of Hon. J. L. Walk er, about one mile from Johnston, on March 9. The work will begin early in the afternoon and will last for sev eral hours. County Agent Carwile is trying to have several farm imple ment dealers to bring the latest ma chines for quickly preparing seed beds and planting at the same opera tion, but as yet he is uncertain of this phase of the meeting. Frances Willard Evening at Methodist Church. On Sunday evening at the Metho dist church in the first snow of the season, the memorial service to Fran ces Willard was held. Two especially interesting features were the vocal solos by two little girls, Lucy Scurry, who gave a story song, "Caught," with piano accom paniment by Mrs. Tillman, Frances Willard Johnson, who sang, "John Barleycorn, Goodbye," accompanied on the piano by Mrs. C. E. May. The prize essays were presented to the four winners as mentioned else where by Mr. T. B. Greneker. The address on the Life and Work of Frances Willard was made by Rev. G. W. M. Taylor, whose remarks were very entertaining and appropriate. Now that the work for which she so faithfully labored is largely ac complished, her fame and greatness is being more and more appreciated. Had she received half the admiration and encouragement in her life time she might have been left to tell a longer story to the ages. Facts About Peanuts. Secured by County Agent Carwile from N. E. Winters, Agronomist and farmer of Virginia and Texas. Peanuts remove more plant food than cotton. An average peanut crop of 1,000 pounds of cured nuts and 2,000 pounds of cured hay removes from the soil 18 pounds of phos phoric acid, 27 pounds of potash and contains 74 pounds of nitrogen, 2-3 of which is taken from the air if grown in soil sweetened with lime stone (calcium carbonate, 96 to 98 per cent pure.) Thc average peanut crop takes from the soil four times as much phosphoric acid and six times as much potash as the average cotton crop of one third of a bale when all stalks and leaves are returned to the soil. We must fertilize heavily for pea nuts, using enough acid phosphate to provide both phosphoric acid and sulphur as plant foods, and enough muriate of potash or kainit to supple potash as plant food. In Coastal Plains and sandy soils, all of which are low in potash, it is very impor tant that we use enough potash in the fertilizer to at least satisfy crop requirements. 300 pounds acid phos phate, 50 pounds nitrate of soda, 60 pounds of muriate of potash (or 250 pounds of kainit) will take care of the average peanut crop. Mix at least 1,000 pounds of fine ly ground (100 mesh) limestone, or 500 pounds of ?the 200 mesh lime stone in the drill before planting the nuts. Peanuts, like all legum?s, peas, beans, clovers, or alfalfa, grow bet ter in a soil sweetened with lime. For keeping up soil fex-tility under peanut production 'follow the crop with Abruzzi rye and vetch for plow ing under. If you are using one ton or more of limestone per acre in your crop rotation every three to five years, no application of limestone in the drill will be needed directly for the pea nuts. Otherwise the use of limestone directly on the peanut is very impor tant. Mr. Winters has had thirteen years of experience growing peanuts and several of them under -boll weevil conditions, along with cotton. MILLIONS NEED PEPTO MANGAN In Many Homes Better Health is Simply a Matter of Better Blood PEPTO-MANGAN IMPROVES THE BLOOD Composed of Approved Blood Making Elements-Put up in Liquid and Tablet Form Are you tired and weak and "blue?" Do you say to yourself, "What's the use of living? What do I ge tout of life, dragging through this drab existence in this unhappy way?" You don't feel well and you don't know why you have so little energy to do anything, and you get all tired out before it is done. There .are mil lions in busy America that have just such feelings now and then, and they are to be pitied. But there is help. Unless some serious malady is at the bottom of their trouble, a few weeks of Pepto-Mangan will work a won derful change. Pepto-Mangan puts new vigor in to the blood and the blood is the life fluid. With plenty of rich, red blood coursing through one's body one is pretty likely to feel good and vigorous and be strong and look hearty. Go to your druggist and ask for "Gude's Pepto-Mangan." Be sure to say "Gude's." If "Gude" is not on the package it is not Pepto-Mangan. It is put up in both liquid and tablet form. Tell the druggist which you prefer.
