The Department of Agriculture gives
prominence 10 the researches of PROF.
Harry Snyder of the Minnesota expert
ment station in regard to the nutrition
value of beans and the scientific method
of their preparation for the use cf man.
An account OF Prof. snyders inves.i-
cation has been published by the depart
ment. The ordinary white navy bean in
the dry state contains 225 per cent OF
protein, or muscle and energy; 59.6 per
cent of carbohydrates, or hea:; 1.s per
cent of fat and 126 per cent Of water.
Beans are slow of digestion, and put a
heavier tax on the intestinal tract than
almost any other vegetable food.
There exists some prejudice against beans
as staple and regular food, because of
their consequent gaseous characteristics
while undergoing digestion. This is due
to the a. per cent of the carbohydrates,
representing the crude fibre which forms
the skins Of the beam. Prof Snyder points
out that If housewives would, by the use
Of a small quantity OF soda-half tea
spoonful in two quarts OF water-remove
their high nitrogen contents and their
the skins, the gaseous character OF the bean
would be modified and the process OF d.
gestion vastly aided.
A pound of Deans contain one-fifth of a
pound OF digestible protein. and somewhat
less than three-hfths OF a pound Of di.
gestible carbohydrates. mainly in the form
Of starch. In the experiments reported
over a pound Of baked beans was consumed
per day by men engaged part of the time
in active outdoor work. II is believed
however that not more than six ounces o.
baked beans should be consumed IN thu
daily ration.
Though the amount Of protein In beani
is large, they osntain only a small amount
Of fat, and hence the addition OF fat
either by salt pork or butter. In preparing
| for the table Is reasonable.

THE ECONOMIC POINT OF VIEW.


The labor contests of the present year
have brought into consideration, perhaps
more clearly and forcibly than ever be-
fore, the economic effects of these
struggles, both in the bearing upon labor
and capital, and the result of such con-
clusions as have been derived from an
investigation is to show that there has
been a great loss on both sides that
will not be soon made up and may be
permanently injurious to the industrial
and commercial interests of the country.
What is certainly demonstrated from a
fair estimate of the losses of labor and
capital throughout the country is the
fact that the aggregate of sacrifice has
been SO great that 1t will take at least
another year of the greatest activity in
every branch of trade to make up the
loss and it is even doubtful If it can be
done in that time.
That these conflicts have been a very
distinct drawback to the general pros
perity of the country we presume no
one will question. They have involved
the loss of wages to workers amounting
to hundreds of millions of dollars and
loss of profits TO employers amounting
to almost or quite an equal amount.
This has meant the keeping out of the
channels of trade a vast sum of money
to the embarrassment of commerce gen.
orally. Dealers in all lines have cur
tailed their orders, manufacturers have
necessarily reduced their output, re-
tailers have bought less than usual.
Thus there has been a general restric-
ton of trade which has operated In
every direction. to the injury of the
general welfare.
No sane man will question that all
this is chiefly due to the labor troubles
of the past year. and whatever may be
said as to the justice OF the demands OF
labor there can be no controversy re-
garding the proposition that the general
effect of these has not thus far been
favorable to the continuance OF general
prosperity. The most radical exponent
of organized labor on the one hand and
OF organized capital on the other cannot
successfully maintain that the issues
brought about, however they may have
eventuated, have not beensreally dam
aging to both sides, while the general
result has been 70 the disadvantage OF
the public at large.
Considerations Of this kind should
command the serious attention Of botr
labor and capitnt They should study
the general economic consequences OF
their difficulties, instead of considering
them, as is ordinarily. done, entirely
from their own standpoint. They
should understand, which as rule they
do not, that. they ARE mutually con
cerned in maintaining and promoting tn,
general welfare and that in order to d,
this the aim OF both should be to pre-
serve industrial peace.
