THE GREATEST DISCOVERY.

Can you name, offhand. the seven
wonders of the ancient world that you
knew so well as a schoolboy?
Try ii.
There were the Egyptian pyramids,
the Colossus of Rhodes, the hanging
gardens OF Babylon. the temple OF
Diana at Ephesus. and
Well, what's the odds?
Those seven wonders were the work
Of slaves done under the lash, and
millions mourned and died to make
them possible.
When IL comes to an enumera ton of
the wonders of the modern world
that's different. The modern world
has not only seven, but seventy times
seven. wonders. all Of which put to
shame the curios of the ancients.
Recently a scientific magazine asked
1000 eminent scholars and scientists
of the whole world to select the seven
modern wonders.
This was the result:
Among the 200 answers wireless tie
Biography comes first with PA votes;
next the telephone. with 1856 votes;
then radlum, 1865; antiseptics and anti.
toxin, 40; spectrum analysis, 1926; the
Y ray, III; the Panama canal. 100
Wonders indeed. but there are others
There's the electric light. Realize the
worth of that discovery which has re-
duced crime. insured safety. banished
ghosts. promoted order and social up
lift.
Then note this fact:
The wonders OF the modern world
have not wrought suffering. but have
relieved pain and advanced the well
being of the race The antitOxin which
saves one child from death by diph-
iberia is worth more than the pyra
mids.
And the greatest of thesei
1t is not named at all. II is not of
invention. great as that is The great
est wonder of the modern world Is a
moral discovery. And that is
The dawnihg consciousness OF the
brotherhood of man!
This age, which has builded asylums
and homes and refugees, and founded
countless societies for practical charity
this age, In the tendency Of its thought
and feeling, in the framing of Its laws,
In its demand for social welfare, Is be-
ginning the work of real Christianity
twenty centuries after II was founded.
This age is beginning TO understand
what the ancient world never could
understand-that the most valuable
thing In the universe Is man.
And our greatest inventions must be
the instruments of this great dis
coyery.

are not getting proper returns for

Protests are common also, possibly
not to the proper ones, against the
reckless driving Of automobiles AID
motorcycles through the town. Some
of these days some one will be killed
and then we shall rise in our indigna-
ton and wrath. IL would not be a
bad idea II the present protests were
sounded a little louder, and action
taken now. II is said that there is
an ordinance controlling the speed
OF motorcycles, but, so far as our In
formants know. no effort has been
made to enforce IL, while frequently
machines are driven thru the main
streets Of the town at a speed Of
forty to fifty miles, and possibly a
greater speed in some instances. A
number of people have been annoyed
at the recklessness of bicycle users,
also. They frequently flip by on the
sidewalks and across the sidewalks,
before or behind pedestrians. not
giving warning. and making them
selves ruisances generally.
The people who are protesting real
ize that the regulation of these things
Is not everybody's business. The
public has chosen certain people for
these services, and has delegated TO
them this work, and is paying thom
for 1t, and 1t is asking now, rather,
quietly, to be sure, but will ask
little more loudly soon, IL it does not
get what 1t is paying for, that its
servants get busy.

PEANUT BUTTER IS POPULAR
Bureau of Plant Industry issues Cir
cuiar Dealing With its Use
and How Manufactured.

Circular SO of the Bureau OF Plant
Industry. Department Of Agriculture.
says: So
THE growing popularity Of peanut
butter as q food has led to many in
Quiries regarding the methods en-
ployed in It's manufacture. Peanut
butter Ia In reality q very simple
preparation, consisting merely Of
fresh-roasted peanuts ground fine and
sailed to suit the taste. Several
large factories and q large number Of
smaller ones are now devoted to the
manufacture of this product with
which to supply the rapidly ircreas-
ing demand. Some OF the larger fac
tories are almost models In their
construction, equipment and manage
mcnt, while many OF the smaller es-
Establishments, which have no elaborate
equipment, are turning out an excel
lent product.
Peanut butter was first nanufac-
tured and offered for sale az food
for invalids, but the article was soon
adopted by many persons who for ono
reason or another, such as prefer
ence for vegetable foods only, object
ed to the use of ordinary dairy butter.
1t soon outgrew this condition OF lin
tied use, and it's development on q
commercial scale has been general
product. 1t was never intended that
this product should be used as sub.
stitute for or competitor of butter,
but as a luncheon delicacy and to add
variety to the diet Peanut butter Is
wholesome and nutritious food prod
uct and has become q popular article
| upon our markets. Last year one
manufacturer used over 100 cars OF
shelled peanuts in the production OF
5000, 900 small Jars Of this food.
Other manufacturers used large
| quantities, the total consumption OF
peanuts for the manufacture OF pea.
nut butter alone amounting during
the year OF 1911 to approximately
1000 cars of shelle4 goods. or 1.o00,-
900 bushels.
I'm order to produce high-class pea
nut butter the manufacturer must en-
ploy the best materials. On the 9TH
er hand, the use of the best stock OBJ
! tainable will be Of little avail unless
the work OF converting into q salable
product is conducted in q sanitary
