will give food value equal to two

item Of economy worthy of thought
l am in this considering old peas
and beans; those green or umrlpe
contain a larger amount Of water
and more sugar, and less albumi-

to the water in which old peas
and beans are cooked removes
the strong flavor, making them
much more delicate. All vegeta-
bles should be washed we'll in cold

spinach: cauliaower, cabbage,

onions, lesks, asparagus, turnip
