populace OF our fair city has turnc!
its eyes upward in anticipation OF

times the big town succeeds in do

Belmont Park promises To be the
high-flyer of them al. citizens OF
Savannah may have the edge on the
Gothamites when It comes 20 an

has few million fewer people to
muss up the course during the prog.
ress OF a motor contest. A few years
honco an aviation tournament may
become impossible In the vicinity of
the metropolis, owing to the tcnden-
cy of the owners of runabout planes

An institution which promises TO
play an important part in the war
fare of science against disease Is
the hospital opened in New York
this week as branch of the Rookie
feller Institute for Me.ical Research.
The new hospital Is unlike any 9th
or in the world in equipment, pur-
pose scope and possibilities. Only
certain classes of patients will be
en- period, enabling the physicians
and surgeons to concentrate their
entire attention upon few diseases.
For the present, only those suffer
ing from diseases of disturbed met
abolIsm, infantile paralysis, pneumo-
mia and heart disease are admitted.
The number OF applicants has ex-
Cecded the capacity of the hospital,
an, many will doubtless have to be
turned away. No charge is asked or
accepted for treatment whether the
patient be pauper or millionaire, and
the whole aid of the physicians is
to cure the patients. There will be
no experimenting, but the presence
in the hospital at one time of a large
OF people all suffering from
the same ailments is expected to
offer opportunity for Investigation
into the cause and cure of disease
not afforded by general hospitals.

nuaIly Baked and Eaten.
Boston baked beans are known
around the globe. In the city Of Bos-
ton aIone about 100000 quarts Of
baked beans are devOured annually. TO
say nothing Of the pork that goes Win
them and the brown bread that is also
served. There are factories or baker
les which handle nothing but baked
beans from one years end TO the other.
One Of the largest Of these. which sup
plies restaurants wholly, bakes l4,OOO
quarts of beans a week. Other baker
les also furnish brown bread, While
nearly every bakeshOp that makes
bread, pastry and pies also bakes
beans several times week. There
are bakeries with ovens that will hold
1900 quarts each.
The preparation and baking Of beans
are interesting operations. In estab-
lishments where beans only are baked
IL is done on a huge scale. There are
great kettles that hold two or three
bushels Of beans, and into these the
beans are put to soak and parboi.
Then the pots Of earthenware, varying
In size from one quart to two gallons,
are ranged around ON tables and filled
from the big kettles. Every quart OF
beans is carefully picked over and
sorted and cleaned Of all dirt and dead
beans before being put into the kettles.
The ovens are huge brick affairs, glow
ing red with heat. Experts consider
that beans cannot be properly cooked
except In a brick oven Some OF the
ovens hold 1000 quarts each. Filled
with the loaded pots, they present a
sight worth beholding. So hot are the
ovens that long handled fiat shovels
are used to push the pots in and take
them out.-New York Tribune.
