Quently has been avoided In the diets
When properly masticated it is easily
digested.
A prejudice against peanut butter
is often caused by ignorance in it's use.
Tie 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
chopped pickles or olives, catsup, onion
Juice, cheese or fruits.
Dates stuffed with peanut butter are
appetizing. WhOle-wheat mullins, drop
cakes, and salads are q few of the
numerous ways in which this food may
be used. Tt adds delicious flavor to
tomato soup and increases its food
value.
Peanut butter is an important food

Washington's Death Was
Caused From Diphtheria
According to Physicians

In most histories 1t is stated that
George Washington died from pneu'
monia or quinsy, 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, 1SOO,
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 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 "infiammatory quinsy" for that
with which Washington was afflicted.
|, Doctor Dicks description of the dis
ease, to which he proposed to give the
name "cynanche laryngea," was one OF
diphtheria he did not use that word
perhaps because it had not yet beer
invented.

More Than 5000 Motorcars
in Use in the Philippines

The Philippine islands are proving
an excellent market for motor vehicles,
says A. F. Bloomer Of Manila in a re-
cent issue of Commerce Reports. At
the close of 1916 there were in opera
ton in the Philippines 3,013 passenger
cars, 392 motor trucks and $40 motor
cycles. In addition, there were 1880
machines undergoing repairs or not in
operation. The city of Manila had
1 ,481 passenger cars and 24S trucks in
operation.
The rapid growth of automobile use
is due primarily to the excellent roads
in nearly every section of the country
and the prosperous condition of the
islands.
The figures available for the first six
months of 1917 show slight decrease
in the value of the automobiles, parts
and tires imported for that period.
compared with the first six months of
1915. The indications are, however,
that the current year will show no fall
ing off in the imports Of automobiles
over 1916, provided shipping conds.

Sixty-Eight Degrees Is
Temperature Recommended
In Heating of Our Homes

Up to now, Americans have been as
wasteful of coal as of other resources,
largely because coal has been abund-
ant. 1t will be abundant no longer UNI
till this war is over says Thomas r.
Shipp, in the Worlds Work. 1t 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 a day, 1t would
amount to 25,OOOO0O tons of coal.
These savings combined would
amount to 100000 tons, which would
almost wipe out the national shortage
Of 100000 tons.
The fuel administration offers prac-
teal instructions for the economical
use Of coal In stoves and furnaces. i.
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 adj
ministration has linked up the conser-
walton of health. 1t has long been a
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 ali be healthier, harder, and
more comfortable if our houses were
kept at temperature Of 6S degrees
Fahrenheit.

which is highly nutritious may help

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

Delicious peanut butter-a highly
nutritious food-may be made at 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

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
"food 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 ammuhl-
ton to obtain ultimate victory.
"That poultry and eggs can be pro-

number of people than any other form
of animal food is the all-important rea-

"The equipment for such an enter
prise need not be large or costly. "A
lot 25x30 feet is ample to accommodate

which should produce sufficient eggs
for Che 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

In line with the big campaign to con-

the food administration, the United

making direct appeal to every family

headquarters in Chicago.
In an interview Mr.. Kinghorne made

'In hundreds of ammunition plants
