HARD WORK ON CANAL.

Panama, Nov. 30.-A hurry up order
has been issued by Governor Goe-
thals for the completion of the canal.
The time limit set by Congress is July,
1916, and Colonel Goethals is determined
that the last of the finishing touches in
every department from dredging to
landscape gardening shall be completed
ahead rather than behind time. Colonel
Goetha himself is setting pace, and
may be seen often at work in the adj
ministration building at Balboa late at
night.
Men and machines now on the isthmus
are said to be working harder than at any
time since the great work was started
ten years ago. Every morning Colonel
Goethals appears at some part of the
work where he has not been for several
days previously to hurry things along.
There is the case of the steam shovels
delving into the side of Sosa hill for the
rock that goes to form the east break
water in front of Colon harbor. On
each one is huge placard which shows
the numbers of cars loaded as the work
progresses. For every job mark has
been set to be surpassed if possible.
On Sosa hill the man who has charge
of loading the cars that take the rock
SO miles across the isthmus to the new
breakwater is working against the man
in charge of transporting these same
cars those so miles while the man who
unloads them out near the end of the
two-mile trestle is rushing things so
that he will always be just "a little ahead
of the other two. At present there are
200 to $50 cars of rock sent him every
working day.
Out in Culbra cut where large slide
recently choked the channel for few
days and canal traffic came to a stand
still with large number of ships seek
ing passage through dredging ceases
only during the eight daylight hours
when the canal is used for navigation
purposes. The other Is hours are de-
voted to the fastest dredging the canal
has ever seen. The men work in two
shifts and as they eat and sleep on the
dredges no time is wasted. Their work
in handling the recent slide and reopen
ing the canal to traffic within five days
won for them high commentator from
Colonel Goethals.

How Peanuts Are Sailed.
New York Times.)


There are two distinct kinds of salt
ed peanuts, according to A. P. Grohens,
an authority on that subject. The or
binary kinds are the ones prepared
from Spanish shelled peanuts. I'M
! blanched. or. in other words, with the
skins left on. The other class of salt
ed peanuts is prepared from the Vir-
ginia varieties and blanched. The
blanched sailed peanuts are usually
put up in small paraffined paper sacks
to prevent early deterioration.
To prepare the unblanched varieties
of sailed peanuts the manufacturer
makes use of a copper kettle or of an
iron steam jacketed kettle. This ket-
tie is partly filled with vegetable fat
or "konnut." When this fat has come
to the boiling point, the peanuts, by
means of a wire basket, are lowered
into the vat and boiled to a straw
color. When done the wire basket is
raised above the fat to allow the oil
to drain off, and then the nuts are
discharged into a suitable vessel or
trough. where the salt is applied while
the nuts are still hot.
The making of blanched peanuts re-
quires a different process. The Vir-
ginia shelled peanuts are roasted in
special rooster to a light straw color
After this, and as soon as they are
cooled off, they pass through the auto
matte blancher. which removes the red
skins as we'll as the bitter germs or
sprouts. The nuts are then sailed
In order to produce ready cohesion
for the salt 1t is necessary to use a
nil 1nl
the nuts, and they are mixed before
the salt is applied.
The Virginia goober differs from
others in that it is blanched whole
and is prepared from only the choic-
est or Jumbo" Virginia shelled pea
nuts. On account of the great diff
Guilty attending the blanching, so that
the nut meats will not fall apart or
into halves this variety of sailed pea
nuts commands a fancy price as COM.
pared with the palmer varieties.
The majority of manufacturers re-
sort to the scaIding process in blanch-s
ing these nuts, for in that way the
skin can be removed more readily and
the nuts are not so apt to fall apart.
The scalding process, however, In
jures the flavor and tends TO tougher
the nuts. The best plan is to roast
the nuts in a regular rooster for ten
to twelve minutes. This is sufficient
time TO loosen the skins so that when
the nuts are cooled they can be
blanehed by hand or by some mechan-,
ical device. The short time they have
been in the roaster will not have
changed the appearance or raw favor
to anX extent When blanched the
nuts can be cooked in pure vegetable
fat in the same manner as the I'M
blanched varieties. and sailed immed7
lately after they are cooked and
drained. Special care must be exer-
cised in the handling. however. if II
is desired to keep the nuts whole.

The Stitch in Time.

(Des Moines Register and Leader)
One of the most encouraging as
poets of modern life is the emphasis
which il is learning to place on posi-
tive forces. There is a world of pos
sibility in this direction, and we have
much to gain. but we have already
proflted by cur beginning. We ara
trying TO keep people out of prison by
keeping them sane and comfortable
instead of waiting until they are driv-
en- to desperation by causes that
might often he removed before.
We have lot more to learn in that
respect, but the start is at least prom
ising. Boys clubs are attempting to
provide the amusement and instruc-
ton which will keep street urchins
from falling a prey to their environ
ment. Our reformatories are tend
ing more and more toward the sort Of
places which the name really indi-l
Gates. We are trying to make peoplc
better instead of worse by confining
them within restrictions.
The matter of health is receiving,
more attention from the positive side.
We frequently begin to think about.
our bodies before they are shattered
by disease and to practice preventive
measures rather than always waiting
until something is wrong. We think
of the beauty of strength sometimes
instead of the fear of weakness.
Nothing is saner than this taking
thought while there is yet time. It
saves pain and loss and disappoint
ment of various sorts. 1t indicates a.
healthy recognition of facts, an APP
probation of the law of cause and eff
feet. 1t is the sensible doctrine Of
recognizing beginnings.
