G he stnuts Good Food

The chestnut contains less water
more proteid,, more starch, more fat
but less mineral water than the po-
tato. The chestnut is, in fact, more
nutritious than the potato, says the
London Lancet, not because it con-
tains different constituents, but be-
cause weight for weight it contains
greater proportion of them. The de-
ficiency in fat is made up in the po-
tato by a pat of butter; in the chest
nut there is already an important pro-
portion of fat The chestnut, however,
is the most digestible of nuts, be-
cause it does not contain an excess
of fat.
Most nuts contain between so and
60 per cent of fat. Both the chestnut
and the potato provide a nutritive
meal. rich in heat and energy giving
material. and the starch in them is
peculiarly easy of digestion. For rea-
sons already given, the chestnut is
electrically superior to the potato, es-
pecially if the latter be boiled. as in
the process some of the nutrient ma

More Perilous Than War

Probably few Americans realize
that the man in the United States rail-
way mail service is far more likely to
lose his life than the soldier in Uncle
Sans regular army. Cold figures
which have appeared in two official re-
ports of the government prove abso-
lutely that he is
Within the year ending June 80 last
only twenty-four of Uncle Sans sol
diers, in all the IS 900 on regular or
detached duty, were killed in action.
Twenty-one men were killed on duty
in the railway mail service during that
time. There were only four additional
soldiers wounded so severely that they
died or were obliged to leave the serv-
zee on account of these wounds. In
the railway mail service ninety men
were seriously hurt while on duty, be-
sides the twenty-one men killed To
make the showing still more surpris-
ing. 37S mail clerks were injured more
or less severely.

crater shelter had been built, where
she passed the night, within sight and

fire.
In the morning she rose, descended
into the crater as far as it was pos
Sible to go, and, standing upon the
'black edge" in full view of the amaz-
ed spectators, who expected every
minute to see her scorched and with
cred by the angry goddess, she DELHI
erately ate a bunch of ohe1o berries,
which, as sacred to the goddess, no
one had hitherto dared to touch, and
flung the stones into the awful fiery
lake as she cried out: Thus do I
defy thee, o Pelei Jehovah is my
God. He kindles these fires and he
preserves me in breaking your tabus."
Then. by herself and a few Christ

sung prayer, offered to the true God,

A COLD ON THE LUNGS THREATENS
TO BECOME SERIOUS.
Pe-ru-na Brings Speedy Relief.


Mrs. 81. E. Adams, Ex-President Pal
metto Club, of New Orleans, La, writes
from ITO Garfield Court, South Bend,
Ind, as follows:
81 am pleased to endorse Peruna. as
took it about a year ago and it soon
brought me relief from a cold on my
lungs which threatened to be serious.
''The lungs We're sore and infiamed,
coughed a couple of hours every night,
and felt that something must be done
before my lungs became affected.
'Peruna was suggested by some of
my friends who had used it, and acting
upon their advice tried it and found
that it was able to bring about a speedy
cure. You have my highest endorse
ment and thanks for the good it did me-"
Sounding the Praises of Peruna.
Mrs. Frances Wilson, 80 Nelson ST..

If one compares the strength of the
corps of a few thousand clerks with
the $4,000 men in the regular army
we will find that the percentage of
fatalities in railway mail service is
much higher than in active army duty.
1t is probable, too, that disease takes
off greater number of railway clerks
in proportion than it does soldiers.
This includes the army in the Philip
pines. where there is always more or
less trouble 1t does not include the
three army officers killed, but they
would still not change the fact that
mail clerk service is more dangerous
than active life as soldier of Uncle
Sam
If peace hath her victories no less
renowned than those of war;" she also
has her dangers no less numerous.
Has any congressman thought of pen
siOning MANNED and disabled mail
clerks or the widows and orphans they
leave? Probably he has, but if we
remember rightly it has not been done.

Sweet Potato Pie,

A famous recipe for sweet potato pie
will be welcomed by exiles from the
south. Have a pound, or, in bulk, a
pint, of boiled sweet potatoes. Mash
or rub through a colander and add
three quarters of a pound each of but
ter and sugar which has been well
creamed. Beat six eggs lightly and
add to the mixture. Flavor with nut
meg, the juice and grated rind of a
lemon, and a small glass of good bran
dy. Line a deep pie plate with pastry.
and pour in the sweet potato mixture
1t is customary to sprinkle the pie
with fine sugar and tiny dots of citron
when it is taken from the oven.

"Potatoes the Finest Ever Saw"
Owing to the great amount of in

some of the facts that are bringing

the facts related in the following may
be corroborated on application. At the
same time they will be able to quote
you rates, and give you certificates en-
titling you to low rates on the differ
ent lines of railway. The following
letter copied from the North Bend
(Neb.) Eagle is an unsolicited testi-
monial, and the experience of Mr..
Auten is that of hundreds of other
Americans who have made Canada
their home during the past seven or
eight years:
