Virtue of Peanuts.

The oil of the peanut has a quieting
effect on the pneumogastric nerve, the
largest nerve supplying the stomach.
Many nervous persons who like pea
nuts and do not know why, like them
for this reason. They quiet the nerves
of the stomach. These persons should
eat few fresh roasted peanuts after
each hearty meal, as many nervous
conditions are due to an irritation of
the pneumogastric nerve. and the pea
nut oil acts as a sedative to this nerve
OF course the nuts must be crisp and
well chewed and not too many taken
To get the best sedative effect hand
full of the hot peanuts should be eaten
just before retiring. This presup
poses that the powers Of elimination
are In good repair. The peanut. a
member OF the pulse family. is nutri-
tious and would clog the system If
not eaten correctly as it is almost
equal to meat--Pniladelphia Ledger.

BEHIND THE BATTLE
LINES OF BRITAIN
Correspondent of a London Paper
Tells of Fearful Scenes of
Conflict

London, Sept. PA correspond
ent of the Times sends the following
despatch Behind the British lines, .
dated Sept. 10:
''The great battle draws to close
Exhaustion rather than shot and
she'll, has wrought a terrible peace
along the river banks-a peace
which my experiences of the last
few days lead me to believe may be
the herald of victory That, at least,
is how l read the situation.
Il have seen our troops and the
French go into battle these last days,
not as worn and weary men, but as
conquerors. l have seen them re-
turn wounded from this valley of
| death with the conquering spirit
famed to fierce fury. Here is a typi-
cal description from the trenches of
the great struggle.
We are slowly beating them back.
We have to do it foot by foot, for
| they have huge guns and their she'll
fire is terrific. But we keep pegging
away. How? Well. we dig ourselves
in-we British lads have learned
that lesson-and then we go on
fighting and fighting until the mo-
ment when we can make a small ad-
vance. We crawl up again and dig
ourselves in, and SO on.
At the end, it, of course, comes
to cold steel We are all right there.
The scene on the river at night
was magnificent and appalling be-
yond words The whole valley was
swept with a blaze of searchlights
from darkness until dawn. Great
beams moved up and down, search
ing the skies and trenches and re
yeaIing the masked batteries on the
heights and dark forms laying along
the ridges.
Here and there a flash revealed
/ the bursting of shell. Over all
rolled the perpetual bhunder of the
/ guns-a fierce and thrilling accom-
parliament.

This was battle to the last
ounce of strength in which man and

1 in few frenzied moments. Day and
night the combat ragged without in
termission, ebbing and flowing like
the tide, seething like a cauldron
and into the hell strong men went
down. 1t was a brave sight to see
them go gayly and light-heartedly to
