VETERANS

City, State and Nation
Pay Tribute to Memory
of Honored Dead

Durango, as usual, fittingly observ-
ed Decoration day, Sedgwlck Post of
the Grand Army having the program
in charge. IL is a day that should be
cherished in that it brings vividly
to memory the departed dead While
the old soldiers are the real ones who
give the day the reverence 1t deserves,
there are countless thousands who i'm
prove the opportunity of visiting the
graves of loved ones and strewing
flowers in their memory.
Each year the ranks of the Grand
Army are thinning. We doubt if
there is an army post of any size that
does not loBe from one to half a dozen
or more comrades each year. Their
step is not quite so elastic as in years
gone by and it is pleasing that auto
owners place their machines at the
disposal of the parade committee so
that neither the men who fought our
battles or the brave women who
fought the battles at home are COM
PEELED to walk There is naught but
respect for those who wear the blue
and their help-meets. AS long as this
nation lasts it will be: "My Country
'Tis of Thee"-will sing and the spirit
that prevails-"My County Right or
Wrong, My Country" 1t is this spirit
that backs President Wilson. A great
majority DO not believe in his policy
at the same time they will back him
in time of trouble with their money
and their life.
The only regrettable thing about
Memorial day is the sporting tned-
ency-to make the occasion one
of amusement. Each year, espe-
cially in the larger centers, this
custom appears to be increasing.
If one must indulge in horse racing
and other sports the forenoon should
be given over to honoring the dead
the G. A. r. dead at least. Everyone
should show the right kind of respect
both for the departed and the living
more especially the. wing whose
thoughts go back to the days when
"We were marching through Geor-
gia." To the days Of great priva.
ton; to the days when the dead laid
in front, in the rear and both sides,
an awful sight and to be remembered
as long as life lasts.
Here is to the living members of
Sedgwiek Post and the Woman's Re
lief Corps; here is to those who are
sleeping the last sleep-may they be
enjoying the blessings of loving

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3O.--
Arlington National cemetery was the
official shrine today in observance of
Memorial day. Tiny flags waving
over each of the thousands of graves
and garlands of flowers testified a

PUEBLO, Colo, May 30.-Discov-
cry that Harvey Hunter, colored, had
been drinking confiscated liquor in
stead of pouring it into the sewer,

their stocks Of booze confiscated. Af-
ter the trials Of the offenders, the
liquor was turned over to Hunter to
be destroyed. His offense was dis

The peanut is not commonly con-
sidered as an important element of the
ordinary dietary and is regarded with
such disdain that its name has been
applied to a certain undesirable brand
of politics. Nevertheless, the peanut
has great possibilities which are now
in process of realization.
A native of Brazil, it was readily
adopted in all tropical and warm tenn
perate climates, and is now largely
cultivated in the United States, chiefly
in Virginia, North Carolina, Tonnes
see, Georgia, Alabama and other south
ern states. AS an article of diet, it is
particularly rich in proteins and car
bohydrates. Unknown to the North
before the civil war, during that war
the northern soldiers made it's ac-
quaintance, and 1t has reached now
the degree of popularity with which
we are all familiar.
Peanut butter is made by grinding
roasted peanuts to a paste after the
germs have been removed. 1t is a
very popular condiment and in addi-
ton very nutritious, containing APP
proximately 20 per cent OF protein,
46h per cent fat and II per cent of
carbohydrates, and while used chiefly
for the sake of it's pleasing flavor, has
very distinct food-values of its own.
The peanut hulls are of value as
food material for cattle, and vines,
when used for hay, as is well-known
in those parts of Tennessee where
peanuts are grown, are a nut as good
as any hay which can be had, if well
cured.
In Tennessee there are two main
varieties grown, white and red, of
which the white usually has the pref
erence in the market. The soilre-
quired is light sandy loan, with plenty
of lime, and for that reason the river
and creek bottoms in the Highland
Rim are best adapted for growth of
this staple. Tennessee at one time
produced about a third of the total
crop of the United States, but the pro-
portion is not so large now, since
other states have seen the benefits in
growing this important plant.
In addition to these materials, the oil
made from peanuts is very important
article of commerce in Europe, where
it is largely used as a salad-oil, in the
packing of cheaper grades of sardines,
etc. This oil isschiefy made from At
rican peanuts, which contains more oil
than the American nut. The peanut
meal and -four remaining after the oil
is extracted are, in the finer grades,
largely sold to the bakery and candy
trades, and in Europe the -four is
baked into bread which has large
sale in Germany and France.

may be put into it. 1t will be noticed
that wrapped goods are alluded tC
above and it is safe proposition tc
avoid all cheap wrapped goods. Web
by peanuts may find thei" grave in
cheap peanut bars, for in the process
of cooking the candy itself is SKINNED
and all webby materia, and magots
are removed. As to cheap wrapped
horehound candy, it is simply farce,
the horehound herb in this candy be-
ing like the proverbial oyster in
church festival oyster soup.
There are some good cheap and pure
candies which will be treated in these
chats later, but they do not belong in
the class of fancy" goods above men
toned.
1t is hoped by the Tennessee Food
and Drugs Department that some of
the practices above mentioned, have
been lessened by a careful attention
to this trade, but it is too much to
hope that they will ever be fully cor
rected. The best plan for the consum-
er is to avoid the use of cheap fancy
made" goods. Make your own candy
at home or eat sugar. 1t is cheaper.
Look for other chats telling more
about candy to follow this one.

outside of an insane asylum believe
that it is. We do not know whether
the editor of The Comet endorses or
believes it, but, If he does, we are free
to assert that he has far better gift
of perception than the other pretends
to believe. No one can blame or con-

The leading men who are whoop up
the gadhy candidate for congress are
the same bunch of "Old codgers," with
a small coterie of embryo would-be
politicians that have always opposed
the regular republican nominee for
the past eighteen years. Cy Lyle,
democratic candidate for congress,
has few opponents in his party of
the same caliber. II they cannot rule
they try to ruin. Mr.. Lyle is right in
being a candidate if he wishes, and
every true democrat, who desires par
ty success, or at least party organiza-
ton, will vote for him in November.
OF course, we shall not support him,
as he well knows, but at the same time
we would prefer him to a "straddle
bug" politician, whom no one admires
Goodby, "Jeemes," until the opening
of the next chapter.
