MILK FROM PEANUTS.

NEGRO CHEMISTS RESEARCH. Work of determining just how many different uses can lie tound for the peanut and the potato goes on in the laboratory nt Tussegee (Alabama O.S. A.) institute, under the direction oi Dr. George Washington Carver, Negro chemist, who in recognition of his splendid work received a fellowship in the Royal Society of Great Britain. Recently a corporation has been formed at Atlanta to market &ome of Dr. Carver’s products. . Dr. Carver has made 145 foods and useful articles from the lowly peanut. In addition to this lie lias performed wonders with the yellow yam sweet potato and extracted clyes from clays and southren soils. Dr. Carver’s research work has been so marked that when the House of Representatives was. considering the imposition of a tariff on peanuts’ he was called to testify before them. Included in the articles which he has listed to be made from the peanut are peanut butter, 10 varieties of milk, five kinds of breakfast food, two grades of flour, ice cream, candy, salad oils bisque, “Worcestershire” sauce, chill sauce, oleomargarine, cheese, four kinds of. cattle food, and other things not. edible, such as wood stains, leather dyes, metal polishes, axle grease, toilet and laundry soap, ink, tannic acid and glycerin. A cup of peanuts can he made into a pint .ol milk “as rich as that of a cow.” he said, adding: “Tt is rich, creamy, and palatable. It contains three times as much carbohydrates, three times as much protein and 12 times as much fat as "ow’s milk, with only one-tenth as nrneH. water. . . .” Ho has produced 107 different pro'birts from the yam, including ginger, Hpinon flnii” breakfast food and catGo food, besides many others
