 realizing that we are taking into the body substance that IS 95 per cent solids and only per cent water. Comparing nuts with meats, which are only 25 per cent solids and 75 per cent water; or with egetables-about 10 per cent solids and 90 per cent water; or with milk, which is S7 1-2 per cent water, we are amazed to find this great difference between them. Surprised too, to see how few nuts need be eaten in order to account for all the protein and fat that should be taken during one meal, or in between meals, for that mat ter.
 The mistake that is usually made, is that of considering the nuts as a mere tidbit-a trifle of no consequence-when in reality they should be treated as an important contribution of fat and protein to the meal. Again, we are in the habit of eating nuts too quickly. They should be thoroughly chewed and eaten slowly, as we do other highly concentrated foods. These two points remembered, we shall nave IlO IEouDIC lIOttl iHdESSotioh or a diet that Is too rich or too high in caloric value.
 Most nuts are comparatively low in carbohydrate content, but there are a few exceptions to that rule. Peanuts, chestnuts and lichi nuts are higher in carbohydrates than the other nuts All nuts. generally speaking, are low in mineral salts D nd " n m should bolster up this deficiency by serving them with fruits and vege- tables which supply the elements the nuts lack, and vice vefsa.
 Make it a point to serve fruit and nuts for dessert. This is an ideal combination-a well-bal- anced finishing touch for the meal. Nuts make a rather happy addition to almost any fruit salad, and many people like them with vege- table salads like the grated raw carrot recipes. Nuts are excep- tionally good Din gelatin desserts, where the smooth, slightly acid gelatin foundation is in nice con trast with the rich, chevy nuts. Some people like pistachio nuts with avocados; you might try that suggestion some time. It gives a charming color scheme and un- usual favors.
 I think it is a mistake to feel that that nuts must be ground up for children. When teeth are fully developed, youngsters should be taught to use them for the thor ough mastication of every food, Peanuts and raisins make nice in between bite, provided you em- phasize' the fact that the nuts should be chewed well and eaten slowly.
 If you yourself form the habit of munching nuts between meals or between courses, remember that you are giving the body a liberal allowance of fat and protein, and govern the amount of other food you eat at mealtime accordingly. Other than this you need not ques- ton the advisability of indulging your taste for nuts of all kinds. They are healthful, delicious, and very economical, considering their food value.

Blackberry Jelly

Blackberry, raspberry and straw berry jellies are almost impossible to make ''jelP alone . but they perform beautifully with the addi- tion of pectin. To each 4 cups of fruit juice made from the raw crushed fruit drain through a jelly bag, add 1-2 cups of sugar. Stir until dissolved; bring to a boil over hot fire and at once add 1 bottle of fruit pectin, stirring con stantly. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard for a half minute. Remove from fire, skim and pour quickly into glasses. Seal at once, while jelly is hot.

JOBS OR TAXES?

American business, as the Manu-
f%acturers Record recently observed,
cannot continue to supply both wages
and taxes in the amounts demanded
1t is becoming a matter Of which
shall it be-a job or some more dol
lars for the public treasury? Govern
ment has apparently not learned a
fact which is Of the utmost obvious
ness to the rest Of Us WV that every
dollar taken in taxes, mean that
business must pare a dollar from
other expenses. In a great many
business the pairing must be done
principally in the wage budgets, eth
er through decreased compensation or
fewer jobs.
At the moment, the entire re-
sources Of the government are being
given to providing more jobs at bet
ter wages THIS is being done
through the largest public works pro
gram in u history. 1t is being done
through agreements within industries
and through official fiat. 1t Is being
done through appeals to patriotism
and sentiment. All Of this effort will
be vain without tax relief. After all.
the most willing business in the
world can't raise wages when it hasn't
the money in the bank.
Both the practical and psycholo-
gical effects of a decisive policy of
governmental economy would be un-
imaginably great. 1t would give in
v~estors new hope, arrangements new
spirit. It would be once reflected in
increased production, higher buying
power and jobs. Every branch of
government-federal, state, county
and city - has been at fault; every
branch must do its part if real tax
reduction is to be obtained.

THE NEVER-ENDING WAR
The American nnhlic nc . Nc

The American public has a war to
fight every year, That war is against the
accident menace-in industry, the home.
on the highways and elsewhere.
This is not an empty parallel.
Automobile accidents alone actually cost
more lives than war. They create as much
suffering. They are ever comparable to
war in the economic waste they entail.
On a number of fronts this war
has been successful. In tie industrial
field, tremendous progress in accident
prevention has been made. The roster Of
important industries which operate for
months at a stretch without a single mis-
hap Of Importance, is constantly growing.
The life and health of workers in every
producing field has never been better
guarded-because management has been
t~ireless in instilling the doctrine of safe
ty-first into its employees.
That is also true Of children Of
school age. Thousands Of young lives
have been saved through courses on
caution and accident prevention.
The great failure has been in the
field of the automobile. Most years have
seen decisive advances in the number of
deaths and injuries over the last. Re-
auctions, the few times they have occur
red, have been small. The reckless and in
considerate driver has scored victory al
ter victory. The result is that our public
streets and highways have become places
of carnage.
The never-ending war against ac-
cident must be fought with increasing
vigor if it is to succeed. The dangerous
driver is Public Enemy Number 1. He
should be given the treatment he de-
serves.

OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING

The saying that it's never too late
to mend, doesn't apply to physical pro
perty. d
In these days, every community
has its share of homes and business build
ings which have been allowed to depre-
ciate to the point where they are ready
for the wrecking crew. Their d~egenera-
ton may be laid to the door of false eco
nomy. While a dollar was Saved tenn
porarily, many dollars were lost because
Of it.
There are hundreds of thousands
of properties which can still be put in
good condition at a moderate cost, but
which will be gone beyond redemption il
work is put off much longer. Today we
a still get in on bargain prices for most
supplies and commodities - tomorrow
will tell a different story. The wholesale
price level has been skyrocketing, and
now the retail level is beginning to follow.
You don't have to take anyone's word for
it that this is the time to build and re-
pair-the cold and unprecedented %statist-
ical tables tell you that, and they permit
of no argument.
Build now, improve noW-provide
jobs and purchasing power-remember
that investment and employment are
cheaper than charity, and that they make
charity unnecessary.

OF Every Individual. National and Inter-

Profits! Industry has been going
along FOR three and one-half years prac-
tlcally without them. This month there
has been a turn. Companies which have
been running constantly in the red are
furnishing a market for black ink. In
vestors who have become used to going
without dividends are looking forwa1H

Here is how improved business is
reflected in the balance sheets of some
specific large companies:
Chysler Corporation-In the June
quarter, net equaled S1.8O a share, total
ing S2,310,0O0. This is within % per cent
OF the company's record, achieved in the
booming third quarter of 1923.
y. ). Steel-Twelve months ago it
reported an operating loss Of more than
S3,OO0,0O0. In the last three months it had
a profit of $4,88O,OOO.
General Motors-Last year it had
second-quarter profits of 7c a share: this
year 1t reported a net Of 9Oc per share.
U. 5. Industrial Alcohol Profits
in first half of 1892 came to $4,000:
same period in 1888, 1929, 900.
All businesses haven't had an

most observers, it will be no surprise
if the last word is changed to "per-

THE L OF A DOLLAR
Am advertisement for a life 4

All ADVERTISEMENT Tor a lie mSur-
ance company makes the interesting OBJ
servation that the dollar changes in value
in terms of human need, as we'll as in re-
latiOn to price structures and purchasing
power.
That is a statement not to be dis
missed as being merely an example of an
advertisers extravaganza of expression.
A dollar means more to a widow than to
the wife Of a husband earning a good liv-
ing-it means more to an old man who
has outlived his earning power, than to a
youth whose best years still lie ahead.
The more difficult a dollar is to come bv,
the more we value it.
This fact is illustrative of one of
the greatest virtues and services of the
institution we call life insurance. Life
insurance takes our cheap dollars-the
surplus ones we car spare when our
earning capacity is good - and returns
them to us as extremely valuable dollars
when our earning capacity is small or
non-eXistent. The dollar that a young
man with a job pays to a life insurance
company, entails minor sacrifices. When
he gets that dollar back, as an old man. it
very possibly means the difference be-
tween want and a decent living. The same
thing is true for his dependents, existing
or potential.
Putting your spare dollars to work
in life insurance now can bring them back
when, to you, they have grown many
times in value.
