The Value Of Nuts as Food.


Nuts have found q place in every we'll
provided store room, and have largely
taken the place of meat in many families.
They are used literally by vegetarians.
When arranging nuts In bills-0f-fare use
Judgment and consider the chemical
composition Of each kind of nut just az
you would in arranging meats and vege-
tables. For instance, chestnuts would
be served with beans and would take the
place Of rice or potatoes at dinner.
Chestnuts must always be cooked; I'M
cooked they are exceedingly difficult of
digestion. The most valuable nuts from
food standpoint are the pinon or pine
nuts, the ground-nuts and the pecans.
Where pecans cannot be obtained, any
hickory nut may be used in their place.
Pine-nuts are cheap, abundant and rich
in oil, and they contain some nitrogen.
Used with hominy or other farinaceous
foods they give quite an evenly balanced
ration.
Physicians claim that nuts take the
place of meat entirely, without any of
its evil effects, so that in our menus, nuts
may be used in every conceivable way
for meats, vegetables, salads, desserts,
sauces, and in frozen dainties and cakes.
Peanuts have far greater food value
than even meat, and served with pota-
toes or rice, mixed with hominy, they
form perfect food.
The following recipes are worth try
ing:
NODDED NUTS.
Put into the nut grinder half a pound
of roasted peanuts, half pound of pecan
or hickory-nuts, and half pound of
pine-nuts. When finely ground mix
with them six ripe bananas. Pack the
mixture in kettle or mold, and steam
continuously for one hour. When done,
remove the lid of the kettle and allow to
cool; when cold, turn from mold and
serve as cold meat. This is very appe-
tizing for lunches or picnics, and, sliced
thin, makes an excellent filling for sand
witches.

RUSSIANS GLOOMY.
Official Reports Of Recent Disasters

Official Reports Of Recent Disasters
Reach ST. Petersburg.
ST. Petersburg. Aug. 6.-The official
reports Of General KuroN describing
the battles fought nj Yosholing and at
the Yangtse pass on Sunday and Mon
/ day have been received here, and IL is
well within the facts TO say they have
caused more disquieude 10 the army
stan than anything hitherto reported
IN the war.
The ease with which General Kuroki
turned the left OF the Russian north
ern army az Yoshollng, the advantage
OF position being with the czars troops,
makes it clear that his army at that
point must be several divisions strong
Notwithstanding that his account gives
the impression that only brigade was
engaged. II Is known that he drove
5000 European soldiers ten miles
west with the loss Of nearly 1000 men
in Killed and wounded, capturing sew
eral hundred officers and men, with
food supplies and ammunition.
His victory on the same days with
twelve miles farther south is not re-
gardcd with as much significance. but
his strength at Yosholing Indicates to
tho most enlightened officers here that
there is nothing whatever 10 prevent
him from scizng Mukden whenever
his plans call for n march upon this
Russian base. The Yosholing pass is
twenty-seven miles east by northeast
Of Liaoyang and only about the same
distance southeast from Mukden.
OF equal import in connection with
Kuroki is the swift movement Of the
Japanese army which won so decisive
n victory on Sunday and Monday
morning in and about simuchen. While
the Japanese assert that this army
was commanded by General Oku, it is
believed here almost unanimously by
the general stan that II comprises the
main division landing at Takushan un
der the general command Of Lieutcn
ant General Baron Nishi and acting
under the direct orders Of Marshal
Oyama and his chief Of stat Genera
Baron Kodama.
At no time since the war opened has
st. Petersburg been so gloomy. The
officers who were most enthusiastic in
the face Of all reverses and who
planned on paper from night to night
the points at which the japanese
would be defeated practically have
abandoned hope. They fear now not
only the destruction OF kuropatkin's
army within a week. but are becoming
reconciled to Kuroki's descent on Muk-
don

RUN ON PACKERS BANK.
Rumor Starts Mad Rush Of Deposition,
on Chicago institution.

Chicago. Aug. 6.-rhe strike in the
packing houses was practically lost
sight of for a whole day in the excite
ment attending run on the Drovers'
Trust and Savings bank. one of the
stockyards institutions. The rush OF
the depositors to the bank started ear.
ly because Of an unfounded rumor that
one Of the packers representatives had
Withdrawn his money from the insti-
tuition and reports that the bank was
being used by the packing companies
rs an adjunct in paying OFF their new
employees who have taken the places
of the strikers.
! day long hundreds Of excited
depositors, most of whom had only
small accounts in the bank. stood in
line to withdraw their deposits. When
closing time came there were at least
thousand persons waiting for their
money. The officials of the bank, de-
termined to meet the emergency, called
in extra tellers, and the place was
kept open until every depositor who
presented himself at the window had
been satisfied. The paying windows of
the bank were Kept open until after 8
o'clock p. m. Nearly two hours before
that time the last man in line had been
paid his deposit in full and fresh ar
rivals had ceased coming.
1t is estimated that upward Of 5000
depositors called and withdrew their
deposits during the day. VIXEN the
run was at its height the bank with
drew 100000 of Its deposit with the
Commercial National bank and like
amount from the First National bank
in order to prevent any possibility Of
the bank being unable to meet its OBJ
/ legations. 1
I'VE have plenty Of money TO meet
any kind of a rum said Vice Presi-
dent William a. Tilden after the bank
had been closed FOR the night. I'VE
had over 100000 in our own vaults
and besides the 100000 taken from
the downtown banks have received Of

tional bank of Chicago, the National

Man and Eight Little Girls Lost
In the Mississippi.
ONE OF THE PARTY GAINS sHoRI

Alton (lll.) Children, Joining Hands, Go
Wadins on Sand Bar In the River
and Suddenly Stepping Into the Deep
Channel Are Lost.
Alton. H.. Aug. 6.-While bathing in
the Mississippi river Michael Riley. his
daughter and seven of the latters lit.
tie girl friends were drowned. One
child who was in the party was res.
cued.
Riley lived near the river in the
southern part of the city and was ac.
customed to battle on the beach in
front of his home after his return from
work.
His little daughter begged TO go with
him, and Riley took her and eight OF
her girl friends to the beach with him.
When they entered the water Riley
bade the children join hands, and they
all waded into the river and walked
along a sand bar which stretches out
into the stream at that point.
They had gone some distance from
shore when suddenly the whole party
disappeared beneath the water, having
in the darkness stepped from the sand
bar into the deep channel
The children struggled and screamed
fighting desperately to reach the sand
bar, where the water was only n foot
or so in depth. Riley, who is said IA
have been good swimmer, is thought
to have been made helpless by the
girls clinging 10 him and hampering
his efforts to save them.
The only one in the party to regain
the sand bar was Mary Timiny. eight
years old. The child is unable to tel
how she saved herself.
Riley was thirty-two years. old, and
the ages Of the children drowned rang
ed from eight to fourteen years.
