Sailed Peanuts.

During the holiday season sailed
peanuts will be in constant demand.
Every housewife will want to know
how to prepare them quickly, and in
generous quantities.
Place any amount of Spanish pea
nuts you wish to make up in your
rooster, or if you have no rooster put
them in your popcorn pepper and
roast them to a nice light brown.
Turn them out into a coarse sieve,
and when they have cooled enough
so you can bear your hands on them
rub the skins off as well as you can
For every three pounds of peanuts
break one egg into suitable dish
and beat up slightly.
Pour over the peanuts, stir around
a little, throw on sufficient table salt.
and stir them around thoroughly with
your hands.
Do not stir any more than neces'
sary.

Canning Pumpkin.

Peel and cut the pumpkin into small
cubes. Cover with water and cook
until tender-no longer. Fill the jar
with these cubes, being very particular
to fill the space around them with the
water in which the pumpkin is cook
ed. When the jar is nearly full add
four grains of benzoic acid. Fill the
jar to overlooking and close as usual
being very careful that all rubbers,
covers, ETC., are perfectly sterile. The
benzoic acid may be purchased for
very little of any druggist. Have him
weigh out four grains for you and
wrap in a separate paper, then anyone
can guess at the quantity by looking
at this.

HOW PAPER is MADE.

The raw material for our modern
paper comes from one of two widely
different places-the depths Of a
a crowded city. In other words. the
raw material Is either rags or wood.
The city rag picker pays one rate for
all the rags he buys, but after he gets
them to his headquarters they are
sorted into numerous bins or boxes.
The cotton ones 70 to the makers Of
paper and other kinds to makers of
certain kinds of clothing After he
ing sorted they are baled by machin-
cry.
Tho wood which goes into pulp for
paper is chiefly spruce or poplar.
This is becoming scarce both In the
United States and in Europe. and the
paper mills In this country bring
large quantities from Canada. where
in the districts Of Algoma II is plenti
ful.
Arriving at the paper factory. the
wood In the form OF logs is piled VI
over wide area 1t is not unusual
to find rs to 100 acres of pulp woot
and factory buildings in connection
with one paper mill. In the United
States there are nearly 100 paper ant
pulp mills, and the value OF the pro
duets which they produce is mor'
than si27.000.OOo. The use OF woo'
pulp dates back only about half a cen
