Nuts

'I have venturesome fairy that shall
seek
The squirrels hoard and fetch thee
fresh nuts"
Among our wonderful crops this year
nuts stand out in tremendous numbers.
We know their wholesomeness but we
do not often stop to find place for
them in our daily foods as we should.
Another thing we should give thought
TO is the possibilities of new f1avors in
our every day dinners. Nuts give this
and, with the aid of a food grinder,
make possible splendid desserts.
The so-called English walnut grows
plentifully in our southern states and
the finest variety has shell so thin
it can be crushed with the fingers. 1t
is rightly named Grenoble and bears
when it is eight years old. Like olive
trees, nut trees bear on and on year
after year and are splendid producers.
We wonder why more are not raised
so they can be in reach of every one,
but as usual the middle man looks after
any over supply, SO the market is never
flooded no matter how big the out
put is.
The black walnut tree is a marvellous
fellow; its remarkable size is attained
in its early years and afterwards its
strength is used in producing rich,
wholesome food. There is black
walnut tree on the Roslyn Farm, Long
Island, formerly owned by the poet
Bryant, that is known to be 1916 years
old and is 80 feet in circumference
three feet from the ground.
The chestnut tree is another that at
tains great age. The French have ira
ditions about certain trees that are still
standing that are known to have been
told for a thousand years. We have
some old chestnuts in our language too.
The pecan is attracting more atten-
tion now than it ever has, for scientists

CLASS HONORS AT TECH
Seniors Lead the School-125 About
80 Per Cent,

With the announcement of the honor
roll at Technical High this morning for
the term just ending it was found that
125 students had! gone beyond the so
per cent. mark. The Senior class claims
the highest percentage in proportion to
the number of students in the class,
while the Sophomore and Freshman
classes run even, both having 43 names
on the roll.
The class leaders are as follows:
Seniors-Charles Chayne, Franklin
Metzler, John Todd, Charles Kutz, Earl
Shuey, Stephen Anderson, Jesse Bern
heisel and William Scheffer
Juniors-Russell Lowry and John
Wachtman.
Sophomores-Stewart Blair, Lester

Freshmen-Fred Beecher, Beard,

have found that this slow growing tree
can be fastened in its development by
grating it to the Grenoble walnut.
One feels inclined to plant a pecan
tree in the front and back yard with
out moments loss of time-until they
read how long it takes for it to mature
sufficiently to bear.
The hickory, butter-nut, almond,
hazel and Brazil nuts are all excellent
for making nut buffers and confections
and nut bread.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
"Is there any way of discovering if
cocoa and chocolate are adulterated!
What is an easy test?
Reply.-The only way to determine
if these foods are impure is to have
them analyzed. Your city or state
chemist will do this for you. DR.. Olsen
says low grade qualities of commercial
cocoas and chocolates often contain
beef -sterin, cocoanut-oil, corn starch
colored with analine dyes and iron OK
ide. But the best grades are made of
pure ingredients and are absolutely
wholesome.
l am told that little soda added to
dried beans makes them cook more
quickly and also makes them tender.
Is this true and when is the soda added
Reply.-A pinch of soda may be
added to the beans while they are boil
ing and you will find that what you
have been told of its action is true.
Indeed you can see. how it counteracts
the acid in the beans by watching the
chemical change that Immediately takes
place. When baking beans add one
fourth of a teaspoon of baking soda to
the half cup of black molasses you pour
over them and when it foams add
enough hot water to fill the cup. The
flavor will be much improved.

PARALYzED BEFORE TRAIN
Station Agent Risks Life to Save MAJ
Stricken ON Tracks

York, Pa, Feb. S.-At the risk of
his own life, H. F. Beck, station agent
at Glatfelters, south of this city, pre-
vented Harris Lentz from being ground
to pieces by a Pennsylvania passenger
train.
Lentz, who is 80 years old, was
stricken with paralysis while crossing

Towanda, Pa, Feb. S.-A barbed

years old, coasted, cut his throat from
ear to ear, and nearly scalped him.
Only the prompt work Of a surgeon,

that at least some Americans had been

up--whether the Arabic attempted 70

London.-Cotton has been declared
absolute contraband by Great Britain,
according to a statement by the For.
cign Office The statement declares
that the government proposes to inl-

which might temporarily disturb the
cotton market, because of the contra
band order
The announcement in part follows:
His majesty's government; has de-
clared cotton absolute cCEtraband.
While the circumstances might have
justified such action at an earlier pc.
riod, his maiesty's government is
glad to think that local conditions Of
the American interests likely TO DE
affected are more favorable for such a
step than they were a year ago, and
moreover his maiesty's government
contemplates initiation of measures TO
relieve as far as possible abnormal de-
preston which might temporarily dis
turb market conditions.
The declaration making cotton con-
traband is effective Immediately. A
royal proclamation concerning the
subject was published in a supplement
