gigantic combination will be formed
with a capitalization of probably S.

will be under different organizations,

As Common - Beans In Boston and
Eaton in Many Ways
Che2nuts are almost as common in
France as beans are in Boston. There
are many chestnut vendors here in
New York, but in Paris they have ten

nuts and preparing them for the mar
ket form big industry in France,
one establishment in Lyons handling
more than 25,00O,OOO pounds annual
ly. John G. Covert, United States
consul at Lyons, is anxious to see
the cultivation of chestnuts introduce
ed into America. He writes that the
trees grow best in gravelly soil, cal
careous ground being peculiarly I'M
suited to them. Trees are often
planted on hillsides which are sub
ject to washouts. The spread of the
chestnut plantations on the mountain
slopes Of the Cavennes has greatly de-
creased the loss from foundations in
that district. Fine French chestnuts
are an expensive delicacy in this coun-
try, but in France the chestnut is so
popular that if people can not afford
the big, fat maroons, they will take
the humber cAataignes and think it a
treat. There are ever so many ways
OF cooking chestnuts. They can be
roasted on Goals or in Theoretically
sealed pot, or boiled with celery. It

are the fine, big marrons, which are as
large as horse chestnuts. The poor
er varieties are prepared in some
parts of France as Americans mash
potatoes, and are eaten almost every
day. Mr.. Covert visited large chest
nut establishment where $50 girls
and women We're employed. Here the
nuts were peeled, boiled, peeled again,
placed for three days in a vanilla

finally coated thinly with vanilla and

Of boxes directed to the different

writes, "along the shores of Lake Erie
