Washington's Death Was
Caused From Diphtheria
According to Physicians

In most histories 1t Is stated that
George Washington died from pneu-
monia or qulnsy, but DR.. J. A. Nydeg-
ger of the United States public health
service sends to the Medical Record
letter written by DR.. Cullen Dick of
Alexandria, Va, on January 10, 1901,
which shows that 'he undoubtedly
died of diphtheria."
The letter recounts the circum-
stances of Washington's last hours, the
consultations of the physicians In at
tendance, of whom Doctor Dick, the
writer of the letter, was one, and tells
how Dick urged that the sufferers
trachea (windpipe) be cut open so as
to permit him to breathe. The other
doctors would not consent to this.
They had bled their august patient In
vain, and would not even give a name
to the disease from which he was dy-
ing. It appears that Doctor Dick was
reluctant to acknowledge that there
had been an outbreak of Group In
Alexandria, and he would use only the
term "inflammatory quinsy" for that
with which Washington was afflicted.
Doctor Dicks description Of the dis
ease, to which he proposed to give tho
name "cynanche laryngea," was one CT

perhaps because it had not yet been
invented.

Make Peanut Butter at
Home by Grinding Nuts
Through a Food Chopper

Delicious peanut butter-a highly
nutritious food-may be made Mt home
by grinding the roasted nuts In food
chopper, according to Miss Flora Mon
roe, director Of the cafeteria In the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
The housewife may vary her uses OF
this food from the customary use In
sandwiches. Puddings, soups, breads,
and cakes are enriched by the use of
peanut butter. It serves both as short
ening and thickening and adds flavor
and color.
The true worth Of peanut butter has
never been realized, believes Miss Mon
roe. 1t has been generally considered
q dimcult food to digest, and conse-
auently has been avoided in the diets.
When properly masticated 1t IS easily
deested. e.. @....
A prejudice against peanut butter
Is often caused by ignorance In its use.
The butter should be combined with
twice the amount of thin cream or
milk, and stirred until It Is of the
creamy consistency of mayonnaise.
The flavor can be varied by adding
chopre,i pickles or olives, catsup. onion
Juice. cheese or fruits.
/ Dates stuffed with peanut butter are
appetizing. Whole-wheat mullins, drop

APPEALS TO ALL
TO RAISE CHICKS

In line with the big campaign to con-
serve food that is being conducted by
the food administration, the United
States department Of agriculture Is
making a direct appeal to every family
to produce food in so far as It can.
j. w. Kinghorne of the federal de-
partment of agriculture is in charge of
the middle Western states in the gov
ernment's nationwide campaign to
stimulate poultry production. with
headquarters in Chicago. :.
In an interview Mr.. KinghOrne made
the following statement outlining the
nations needs and the big aid city and
suburban jewellers can give in supply
ing them:
I'm hundreds of ammunition plants
in various parts of our country skilled
mechanics are working day and night.
turning out, shells to pave the way for
democracy.
Contrast this with the possibility of
every city and suburban family that
has the available ground establishing
another form of munition plant to pro-
duce shells filled with a most valuable
and nutritious food. In other words,
producing eggs.
{ 1.-THE part that the American hen
can play in winning this war can be
materially increased by the establish
ment of thousands of backyard poultry
plants all over this country. That
flood will win the war" is brought be-
fore our attention daily, and the rea-
son why food can and will play such an
important part is because it is just as
necessary and important as ammuni-
ton to obtain ultimate victory. -
"That poultry and eggs can be pro-
duced more quickly and by a larger
number of people than any other form
of animal food is the all-important rea-
son why Uncle Sam is making ma.
tional effort and strong appeal to
every city and suburban dweller to
produce poultry, and especially eggs.
'The equipment for such an enter
prise need not be large or costly. A
lot 25x3O feet Is ample to accommodate
a flock of twelve to twenty-five hens,
which should produce sufficient eggs
for the average family. BY building a
simply constructed poultry house out
of dry goods or piano boxes. and sup
plementing the regular feeds with
table scraps, eggs can be produced at
but little cost. Thus the backyard
flock will not only help In reducing the
cost of living and make possible strict.

Sixty-Elght Degrees Is

On to now, Americans have been az
wasteful Of coal as Of other resources.
largely because coal i.as been abund-
ant. It will be abundant no longer I'M
till this war is over, says Thomas X.
Ship, in the Worlds Work. It is
clearly up to the domestic consumer
to give time and thought to the conser-
walton of coal. Statistics are usually
hard reading, but some Of the statisti-
cal proof offered by the fuel admins
tration makes one think that perhaps,
after all, Mrs. Darlington might have
swept back the sea If she had only
persevered.
Here are some of the statistical cpl
grams:
If every housekeeper in the country
would save one small ShOvelful Of coal
each day at the end Of year the saw
ing would amount to 100000 tons. ~
If every housekeeper during the six
winter months would save one furnace
shovelful of coal day, it would
amount to 25,OOO,OOO tons Of coal.
These savings combined would
amount TO 4UUOO,UVO toAS, "AASn "OuAu
almost wipe out the national shortage
of 100000 tons.
The fuel administration offers prac-
tical instructions for the economical
use Of coal in stoves and furnaces.
Oil stoves and fireless cookers are
recommended as coal savers.
There you have the practical side OF
coal conservation during the war. But
with that sort of economy the fuel ad-
ministration has linked up the conser-
walton Of health. It has long been
source of reproach, on the part of WIS.,
itors to us from other shores that we
have always overheated our homes.
The advice of prominent physicians
and surgeons has been asked, and the
consensus Of this opinion is that we
should all be healthier, harder, and
more comfortable if our houses were
kept at a temperature of 6S degrees
Fahrenheit.

The ChiId's Lunch Basket.

The chiId's Lunch Basket.
The filling Of a lunch basket for a
small child is not an easy task If It is
a daily one. For the growing child we
must not only see that they have food
for the daily needs of heat and energy
but for the growth Of the frame and
muscle. The average child Is fond Of
peanut butter and a luncheon which
may be used only in an emergency but
which is highly nutritious may help
out In time Of stress; this is the COL
lege sandwich, two cakes of sweet
chocolate put together with peanut
butter. This with an apple or glass
Of milk will afford good meal. Baked
apple with cream, plain bread and but
ter or bread and butter with filling
Of a lettuce leaf dipped in French
dressing or other salad dressing with
cupful Of cocoa or hot milk is an
other good combination.
The child's love for sweets should be
satisfied as often as possible with a
date or fig or little fresh fruit rather
than rich cake or candy.
Cottage cheese is another wholesome
food, and when it is mixed with cream
and we'll seasoned it is sufficiently sus-
tanning to take the place of meat. Two
slices or more of barley or steamed
brown bread served with the cottage
cheese with banana or an apple will
be good lunch. The cheese, If rich
with cream, may be carried in small
paper cup. These paper cups are use
full for carrying custards of various
favors or jams and jellies to supply
the sweet that a child enjoys for des-
sert. >.
Chopped cooked egg, we'll seasoned
and spread on buttered bread is sus-
tanning sandwich. A small cupful Of
rice pudding or tapioca or sago pud-
ding will add variety to the luncheon
The best of cakes for little people
are sponge cakes, as they are never
too rich for them to digest.
With the sugar saving which we are
asked to make, frosted cakes and
fancy filled cakes are not at all COM
mon, save on state occasions when
birthday is to be celebrated.
