Peanut Butter. 
Here is a good recipe for peanut but¬ 
ter: In domestic practice the roasted 
nuts are shelled and the brown peeling 
is taken off them; then they are ground 
with the finest grinder of a meat chop¬ 
per to a fine powder. Then take two 
quarts of peanuts and one-fourth pound 
of butter that is good and fresh, and 
salted well, and mix well together, and 
it will keep for a long time if in a 
cold place. e. e. h. 
Destroying Vermin. 
In reply to Mrs. J. K. L.’s request 
for aid in destroying vermin, I think 
if she will try a hair tonic of resorcin 
20 grains, castor oil two drops and one 
ounce of alcohol, she will have no more 
trouble. I found this prescription sat¬ 
isfactory after trying a great many prep¬ 
arations without success, mrs. c. d. j. 
New Jersey. 
Get 25 cents worth of quassia bark, 
divide in four parts, take one part and 
boil all the strength out of it; let it 
cool, then give the child’s head a thor¬ 
ough washing every other day, then 
thorough combing. Vermin will not 
stay there. j. e. 0 .

Haste and Waste 
Stop and think for a moment the 
next time you are about to buy soda 
crackers. 
Instead of hastily buying soda 
crackers that go to waste because 
broken, soiled or soggy, buy 
Uneeda 
Biscuit 
in separate five-cent packages. Soda 
crackers in large packages soon be¬ 
come broken, stale and unpalatable. 
On the other hand, Uneeda Biscuit 
in handy, moisture proof packages 
are always fresh, clean, crisp and 
whole —not one wasted.
