VOL. VIII.— ' THIS, THAT AND IDE OTHER By MRS. ’MI(SO. B. DAVIS About the only time women reaily njoy swatting flies is when they are ;1 ready mad enough to want to hit -omething. When you were a child did you eat eanuts or goobers? Or did you call 'hem ground peas? In those days hen we read of salted nuts being served at parties it meant almonds, us ually. But now the peanut has enter *d fashionable life —both literally and figuratively—and the salted nuts that sound so impressive are more than likely to be peanuts. If you like •hem, you can cook them at home and ave them better than any you find in the stores, because they are much bet ter when perfectly fresh. Fix them this way: Shell the peanuts and put them in a bowl. Pour boiling water over them cover the bowl and let them stand un til the skins are wrinkled and will slip off easily. Remove all the -kins and dry the peanuts on a soft loth. Heat lard in a deep pan till •oiling hot. (You might use some ind of salad nil, but it costs more and - no better.) Put the nuts in the hot fat, cook until light brown, then remove to paper to drain. Sprinkle them with salt while they are hot. You will find that a ladle with h >les in the bottom is a great help. Put the ruts in it and sink the whole thing in the cooking fat, and you won’t have to base the peanuts around in the cook ng utensil. And don’t try to put in too many at once. The cooking of the peanuts in the rd does not hurt it for any othoi irpose, and the nuts are also oily there is very little expense at tached to the cooking. Here is something that sounded odd t me when I read it—-and still does It is copied from the items sent in by a correspondent for one of our ex changes. “The Stanfield school wil' hold no classes on election day." I ki 'p wondering why. Wis it teachers or pupils who were too wrapped up in politics to think of ho >ks and les sons? Did the precinct hav to use the schoolhouse for the voting pro -- ? \Y. - it ■•oh. nli -i help me v nder! Those not interested in ordinary Tong-' need not waste any mo"e t me on this' column this week. Because !his part of it is going to be an en thusiastic recitative on unbleached mostio. “Nailer home spun’’, older people used to call it, hack in the days' when it was really spun and woven] a* home, and the name has lingered. “Unbleached muslin”, some mer- ] chants call it now, and that name may ] he all right; but I much prefer do mestic to muslin, which sounds a bit j like putting on airs, and doesn’t des cribe the honest virtues of the doth. For it is extremely domestic, in every sense of the word. A ears ago. before the vogue for knit underwear, these garments for the entire family were often made of unbleached domestic, j There may not have been about then much of allure; but they were warm j and servicable. They didn’t have to ] be “put into a warm suds made (f j pure soap, and gently squeezed and pressed to remove soil,” nor did they have to be dried carefully in the shade. Not they! They went into a big tub of suds made with soft soap, and then into a pot to be boiled. And, when rinsed, they were clean, soft and white. Hung in full sunlight, they] flirted > n the breezes as gaily as could ] any pastel tinted, poetically named apparel of today. Look the house over. Sheets and pillowcases, which we frequently call “bed linen”, curtains, tufted bed spreads, tablecloths and napkins towels for hands and dishes may re peat the unbleached motif, not to men tion the aprons and dresses for which it may be used. An,| the dres ses need not be off with silk hose as were the ones that were made dur-J irg the life of the fail for those tires- j ses soon after the war. I have acquired a habit of valua-1 tion that may be queer to some folks. It is not the gold standard, hut a corn meal and unbleached domestic stand ard. It works this way: Look at! a garment you propose to give away < sell. Compare its worth to you, ot to some one else, with a few yards of Zthnl on i&zt&rh Kids See Cow Kids See Cow Boston, Nov. ll)—Hundreds of Bos ton school children .aw a cow today for the first time, and were properly I impressed. A questionaire, circulated in the ] schools, disclosed that ”,500 children I had never seen a cow, and that many | had no idea that milk originated from anywhere but in bottles. ■*! “This can’t go on,” said Dr. John DP. Sullican, supervisor of school health ! education. He ordered a cow pro- I duced, and also a calf. L So, Daisy and her daughter, Jessie I visited the William Blackstone school * today. Open-mouthed, 1,000 young ; sters watched Russell I. Prentiss r.it . on a stool and, with nothing up his sleeve, produce a bucket that over |j flowed with milk. ? “It’s like a faucet, but it ain’t,” ex ; plained one youngster to another, less >j sophisticated. ij A little girl, her eyes bright with i wonder, walked up to Prentis. “Mister,” she asked, “is that the I I cow that jumped over the moon?” !

HURRICANE HITS CUBA The hurricane, which was thought at first to have passed by Cuba. | struck that island last week and did more destruction than has any storm in twenty years. A tidal wave ac c-mpauied the storm. More than 2500 lives were lost. Houses were (blown to bits or flattened to the earth, living members of families do not know whether other members are alive or dead. There is danger of pestilence from the dead bodies Emergency stations have been start ed and are crowded with refugees. It was thought best to cremate more than 1,000 dead bodies, for sanitary reasons. The Cuban sugar crop for next year will be far short of what had been expected, as miles of cane fields were destroyed by the storm.
