Is it any wonder that with such an
incessant reiteration of its fine qualities
forever ringing in his ears the American
comes to regard the peanut more as an
every day necessity than as a luxury?
We are the greatest peanut eaters in the
world, and the only nation that regards
the goober as "A delicacy. It lends an
added charm to the circus, it is an in
dispensable adjunct to the county fair,
| il pushes the firecracker hard for second
place on Fourth of July, and it glorifies
the taffy Of Christmas day. In our land
no parallels Of latitude or longitude
bound the confines of its popularity,
and it knows no season. From coast to
coast, from the Canadian line to the
Mexican frontier, the peanut is appre-
ciated all the year round from New
Years to New Years
| We raise, according to the report of
the bureau of agriculture, $3.50, 900
bushels of peanuts each year. This
makes the yield something over 100,
900, 900 quarts, and as we export hard
ly any, but consume them right at
home, we annually pay something like
$40, OO0,O00 for this dainty, sum
which might easily be spent more un.
wisely.
In the south and west it is universally
known as the gOober or pindar, but in
the northern states and all through
Yankee land it is known simply as the
peanut. In other localities it is known
as the ground nut or ground pea, while
in France it is called the pistaChe dc
terre or earth nut. But should you Offer

France and Germany import great
quantities of peanuts. But what do yor
suppose they do with the shiploads OF
peanuts which they receive? Why, they
grind them up for the sake of the oil il
them and feed the meal to cattle or sci
it to poor people for flour. The French
roast the beans until they are brown

nuts and make cakes which they feed
to stock. Some of the peasants like
soup made of ground peanuts, and they
use it in various other ways. In Vir-
ginia peanut flour is used to some extent,
while in Georgia they have long used
pounded peanuts in pastry. The vines
make good fodder for stock and cheap
paper can be made of the shells, while a
drove of hogs will fatten in a remark
ably short time if allowed to root over Il

gathered.
So you see the humble peanut is a
very useful plant, whether nicely
blauched and salted and served from a
dainty bonbon dish at swell functions
or ground up as meal and fed to cattle.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur.
pose, namely. a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm.
perfect action of the kidneys, The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
Kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose. and If
not doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. II Is situated back Of and very
close to the bladder therefore any pair,
disease or inconvenience manifested
in the Kidneys, back, bladder or uri-
nary passage is often, by mistake, at
trlDuted to female weakness or womb
trouble OF some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty-four hours;
SEDIMENT or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DIR. Kilmer,s

bladder remedy is soon realized.
