1t is not too much to estimate that

the campaign next year will be in excess
Of zoe, 1000 a month. and this means that
some time before September German
reserves will be exhausted and Germany
will have to face the problem of short
ening her lines or else counting disaster.
If Russia is able to take her part next
year, or any considerable part. then
Germany's loss will not be less than
100000 a month. 1t is barely conceiv-
able that complete failure of Russia
would enable Germany to hold on next

Germany's Total Strength.

In sum. then, Germany had availa BILE
for service for the first four years of
the war 100000 men. while 100000
men were prevented from returning to
the colors by the blockade of Germany
which cut off overseas contingents.
Eleven millionfour hundred thousand,
the total figure, represents just about
one sixth of the population of the Ger
man empire at the outbreak of the
war-that is. something more than

Immediate reserve. She has 100000 men,
mostly of the class of 1920--that is, of
boys who are now only seventeen years
old-and 100000 more men now in the
hospital who some time in the next six
months will be returned to duty. This
total will be reduced before the begin
ming Of the campaign of 1918 by the
permanent losses incurred between now
and the 1st Of April. These losses Will
not be less than $4,000 a month. and
we may safely figure that 100000 men
will thus be eliminated before the next
campaign opens. In other words. the
maximum of possible reserves of Ger

The Paper Dollar.

Have You noticed the gradual dis
appearance of the silver dollar il

Well, it rs taking place. The dol
lar bill is seen with much more fire.
quency nowadays and it is very
welcome substitution.
In the old days when we didn't
have much money, but had muscu-
lar shoulders and wore stout jeans,
we had no quarrel with the silver
dollar When we possessed money
it was a comfort to hear it jingle. to
feel it weighing on our galluses. But
since we have become prosperous we
have put away our desire for the
physical evidence of money. We
want something that does not wear
holes in our modern effeto pockets.
We want something which it does
not make us round shouldered to
carry about.
And so has spread the custom of
the one dollar bill. The cartwheel
was first banished from the east.
Now it is possible to grade almost
anywhere in Jackson and get your
five dollar bill changed with paper
ones. In the smaller towns, the
towns of the frontier and the west,
the ponderous coin, supported by
the muscular shoppers, the stout
jeans and the galluses. is still toll
Grated.
But the demand for paper dollars
is gradually carrying all before it.
That is why the Treasury Depart
ment has decided to circulate new
issue of one dollar and two dollar
similar to those of civil
war days. And the day is coming
when even the small boy will look
with contempt upon the money that
jingles but doesn't burn, the money
that weighs on the shoulders and
tests the fibre of the alluses.-Jack-
son Daily News.

were 500 per cent. greater than for

(Peanut Recipes By Susie v. Powell. State Home
Economics Agent,)


About three-fourths Of the peanut,
raised in our State are parched anl
eaten just for fun," and seldom
considered as food proper. They
are generally regarded as food acces.
sories or luxuries. The peanuts
are highly nutritious and very cheap
and may be used to advantage as a
meat substitute by those who like
their flavor. Their use as confec
ton is too well known to need com.
ment. The following are some sim
pie receipts for the use of the pea.
nuts as a food:
PEANUT BUTTER.
Parch and shell peanuts and run
through a food chopper. Put level
tea spoon of salt to the crushed pea
nuts and run through rhe chopper
again. The peanut butter is then
ready to pack in small glass or pore
lain containers or it may be wrap
ped in paraffin paper. II a food
chopper is not available. urush the
freshly parched nuts with a rolling
pin on a clean paper or cloth. This
is excellent for school lunches, Sum
day night suppers and picnic occa-
siOns.
PEANUT SALAD DRESSING.
Take the peanut butter made ac-
cording to the directions given; then
with lemon juice or vinegar and
littl water to the consistency of
mayonnaise. Do not add butter or
oil as the peanuts are already too
rich in fat for easy digestion. This
salad dressing should be used on
plain lettuce or other green yegeta-
BILE salads. II the flavor of onion is
liked, a few drops of onion juice
may be used in the dressing. This
dressing may be used to spread be-
tween bread for sandwiches.
CREAM OF PEANUT SOUP.
Crush freshly parched peanuts in
course grains. Make plain, white
cream soup and put two teaspoon
fuls Of crushed peanuts to each plate
sofroup.
~ nAekine fhe butter at home it
= = sbpsF and will be fresh, which
IL essential to its best use. The ex-
cess Of oil causes IL to become rancid
very quickly unless sealed air tight.
The peanut butter contains more
protein in less fat than ordinary but
ter. The grinding makes it easier
to digest.
