A paragraph is going the rounds of

Bacon of Georgia, with eulogy Of
the peanut.
There is no question that the pea
nut is nutritious and appetizing, and
1t is also true that if you eat one the
craving for handful is intense. This
fact is well known to the boys who
sell peanuts on the train. There was
once a boy who failed to dispose of
any part of his stock of peanuts until
more experienced vendor taught
him trick.

LohDoN's PUBLIC KITCHENS.
Cheaper and Better Dinners Than Can
Be Cooked at Home.

In one respect London Is in advance
of the progressive American cities.
Some years ago man of means, who
combined good business sense and
philanthropic disposition and who be-
lieved that people of moderate in
comes suffered from kitchen extraya-
gance and also from poor cooking, es-
tablished a system of public kitchens.
At the start the press paid much at
tention to the enterprise. but after the
novelty wore off nothing was said
about it. A recent experience shows
that its success has been positive and
it may well prove an example for all
the world.
Large kitchens were placed in vari.
ous crowded centers. within the reach
of people of small but assured in
comes. From one of these a family
may order dinner from an attractive
bill of fare and have 1t delivered at a
given minute in perfect condition. The
establishment will, II required, pro-
vide the help to serve the meal. Or.
If 1t be preferred. the housewife may
do her own marketing and have her
own roast and other articles prepared
for the table in the public kitchen.
1t is obvious that dinner for a
thousand persons can be cooked at a
lower rate for each than can a dinner
for an ordinary family. Not only is
there saving in the fuel, but by buy.
ing in large quantities 1t is practicable
to get everything at a lower price. All
the work and annoyance and heat OF
cooking, the time and labor of dish.
washing and the like. are avoided.
The head cook employed In the public
kitchen is an expert and an artist. II
has been announced that a family may
get better dinner, for a much lower
price from the kitchen than 1t can get
under the home cooking system
