As human food thc roasted pcaniil is said to bc an almost complete ration, while peanut oil is now one of the dependable sources for the vegetable oils that arc compensating for the growing shortage of animal fats. Cottonseed oil has .-dread- become a favorite shortening in the American kitchen, and much of llic so-called olive oil wc use is squeezed from the peanut. The peanut in this year of war is bringing up lhc fat reserves, and in no poor way eilher, for it furnishes a perfect substitute for lard. As butter lhe ground peanut is rapidly coming into popular favor and is driving a considerable amount of dairy butter off the American sandwich. Thus the little peanut, humble though it be, has already braced up the iean pork barrel, has supported thc waning butter jar, and has laid the lard firkin under a tribute of thanks, while not one jot abating its visible and welcome presence on the comer popcorn stand.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Minneapolis Journal. 1-irst Newsboyï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Chimmic's got a job as caddie for a gulf club.

The Sheep Industry Sheep are Selling at Record Prices This Year Farmers who w'crc forcsightcd enough lo go in for sheep raising are truly lo be envied these days. Following the high prices obtained for .wool, tlicy are now securing higher prices than ever before for their sheep, both for breeding am! for mutton purposes. Last August a sheepman here ventured to predict that breeding ewes would reach Ihc ?18 markï¿½ï¿½ï¿½an _ uulicard-of price, wliicli at that lime seemed unattainable, despite the high price at which wool had been selling. This price was, however, eclipsed on the Calgary market last week when a number of breeding ewes were sold for $20ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½the highest price ever paid for stock sheep at any central market in Western Canada. The sheep industry is only lusl getting a foothold in Western Canada, but il is surely coining into its own. Many farmers arc entering lhc business tllis fall, and indications point to a wonderful development i-1 the future. A breeder who has sold 1.1,000 head lhis fall, mostly in small lots, is of llic opinion that in two years llicrc will be one million sheep in Southern Alberta alone.

How the Vicious Circle ï¿½ï¿½"____-_Ms_s___ï¿½ï¿½S___3 of Neurasthenia is Formed WHEN the nerves are overstrained by mental exertion, by accident or by shock the irritation makes rest or sleep impossible, and consequently there is no restoration of the wasted nerve force, ' In its turn digestion fails, because there is lack of nervous energy to control the flow of gastric juices in the stomach and to operate the other organs of digestion. Failing to obtain the necessary nourishment, the blood becomes thin and watery, and as a result the nerves are further starved and rendered less capable of standing the strain put upon them. In this way is formed the vicious circle of neurasthenia or nervous prostration, and there is no magical way in which the circle may be broken up. Overstrained Nerves, Loss of Sleep, Indigestion The Food Cure Mrs. George. Hose, Augusta street, Cornwall, Out., writes : "Some two years ago I was attacked with neurasthenia, or nervous prostration. I doctored with different doctors without any good results, and even took a trip to a distant city to see If I could not recuperate. But upon returning I found I was no better ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ in fact, I kept getting worse all the time. I had no appetite, could not sleep, and had to be helped Up and down Btalrs. 1 also hail terrible headaches. One day a book was loft nt Ihc door telilnij about Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, nnd I decided to try it. My [oik* derided tho Idea, but. I went ahead und secured a box, and ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½before finishing that. Ilrot box I could see that I was (jotting bettor. You may be sure I was delighted to find a remedy that would glvo mo relief. I continued taking- them, and recovered, so thoroughly that I was ablo to lulp with the houso- cleanlng that Bprtnjr. During my nervous collapse I had fulled from 115 pounds to 90, and since my recovery have weighed *a much as 110 pounds. I still keep Dr. Chase's Nerve Food ln the house, and use them when I fee! the need of them. I havo recommended them to a great many people around Cornwall, as I feel that I cannot speak too highly of them." The nerve cells are starved and must have nourishment. The blood fails to supply this want, so you must give to the blood in condensed and easily assimilated form the elements from which Nature forms new blood and new nervous energy. Tliis is exactly what Dr. Chase's Nerve Food does, and it does it so well that no treatment for the nerves has ever met with the enormous success of this great food cure. You can scarcely take up a newspaper without reading of someone who has been restored to health and vigor and happiness by means of this reconstructive treatment. This is Nature's way of effecting cure, and is, there- fore, both certain and lasting. A little patience is required, but once the building-up processs is under way you will find daily evidence that you are regaining health and the joy of living. r.

There can be no enduring peace, no lasting foundations on which lo rear thc temple of human liberty, secure against the inva- lion of armed despotism, save llirougli the extirpation of Tan-Germanism. The Pan-German idea must be _-iped out. There can bc nb satisfactory peace while a single Prtts- lian war-lord remains to rattle a sable in a Teuton scabbard. "Fatuous as the dreamers of Rus- |ia," says President Wilson, "are those who believe lhat the free industry and enterprise of the world ian continue if the Pan-German plan 9 achieved and the German power astcned upon lhc world." The antidote to war is to deprive lutocracy of ils military strength. For power, as President Wilson rightly affirms, "canot be used with tonccntraUd force against free peoples if it is lo be used by free pco- >lcs." Thc only means by which >owcr may be withheld from those sho abuse it is lur free peoples l<' lonccntratc their military strength tgainst the common enemy of froc- lom.

But thc potential value of a colossal allied military machine, operating as a single unit, compact of fighting energy, is greater Ihan the past achievements of the several allied nations, great us these undoubtedly have been. Wc havc reached thc climax of the modern evolution of war. It is seen in the stupendous demands upon the resources of the nations, in thc large proportion of numbers to population of the men engaged, and in the changes which the war is making in lhe social organism. All this is being borne by thc allied peoples that thc German idea of a military autocracy shall not prevail in the world. Thc German policy of "blood and iron" must bc met with blood and iron. When peace comes lhc divergence of ideals that separates the central powers form western European civilization must no longer exist. The Pan-German idea must be willed out.

Loss of Life by Fire In the four years, 1912-13, seven hundred and eighty-nine people were burned lo death in Canada and 78 per cent, of those were women and children. Over 350 lives wcrc lost in burning buildings, and it is significant that most of these deaths occurred in dwellings. As mighi be expected, the majority of the fires was caused by criminal carelessness. This is especially true in regard to lhe kindling of fires with kerosene and gasolene, and permitting children to play with matches. Such disregard of the safely of human life constitutes a forcible Indictment of the entire Canadian attitude towwds thc danger of fire. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ...I When to Ring the Bells It will be time enough to talk big and to ring the bells when we havc driven the Germans from the Belgian coast.

Fighting for Itaelf German Program for World Expansion Embrased Western Hemisphere Harry Lauder, who has put off the motley of the clown to tafee up the task of rousing American enthusiasm for thc war to which he gave thc life of his only son, ends onc of the speeches thus: "America will know all about the war when the first convoy brings back thc, men who will never ! again, the men who will never walk again, thc men who will never speak again. That's when America will realize what she's up against. "Don't think you're coming to fight for Britain, for France, for Belgium. You're coming to light for yourselves, by God!" In some respects President Wilson's fine phrase about fighting lo make the world safe for democracy was an unfortunate onc. It gave to our participation iu the war a certain abstract and purely sentimental quality that has affo.rded thc pacifists plausible reasons for contending that wc have no business in the struggle at all. But thc European war was and is a matter of very serious domestic concern to us even though its cannon roar 3,000 miles away from our nearest frontier. Thc German program for world expansion has never failed to comprehend the establishment of German power in this hemisphere. Our more eminent public men with a knowledge of international affairs have long recognized this fact. Dewey discovered it even before the battle of Manila Bay, and bad Ills knowledge confirmed by the actions of Admiral von Dicderichs at that time. Roosevelt blocked one manifestation of it by a timely order to the South Atlantic fleet. Ambassador Gerard had to listen to its avowal from the highest German source when the kaiser arrogantly declared to him, "I shall brook no nonsense from the United States after this war." Von Tirpitz and other prominent figures in German official circles have not hesitated to declare thc use of lhe captured British fleet against the United States a part of their program in the event of German victory.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½New Vork Sun.
