A NEW WAY TO BUY BAKED
BEANS

This way is even newer than the
canned" way and much more eco
nomical. Does that interest you?
Listen, we buy the very, very
BEST beans that ever grew-the
choicest of all the grades on the
market. We carefully sort and
wash and prepare them for baking
in the good o1d-fashioned way.
Then, by a method known only to
our chef, they are baked and sea-
soned to a good delicious brown and
a favor superb. Actually you new
er tasted such good beans before.
And you get a big quart paper pail
heaping full for a dime.
Doesn't that beat buying them by
the can or uncooked from the
grocer? Just try them and see.
We have big variety prepared
eatables of just this sort, all pre-
pared in a way that makes delica-
cies of them all; or what is the
proper term: delicatessen.
Among them is spagetti, rice and
tapioca pudding. cottage cheese.
potato salad, bread pudding, potato
chips. etc. Then there are the
meates too. which include. baked
ham, roast beef and roast pork,
cold tongue, meat loaf, chicken sal
ad, hmoe made mince meat, seal
1oped oysters, ETC. All reasonably
priced.

the lack Of the desirable but there is
the presence OF injurious elements.
The economy OF homegrown foods
was taken up and comparison made
between them and some Of the feeda

whole matters were:
First-That in the growth OF forage
crops the farmer gets feed two or
three times cheaper and OF better

Socond-That the growth Of forage
crops builds up the soil instead OF de-

Third-That the crops to raise arc

ry, Fay's Prolific and Perfection are
also very good varieties. The soil for

put them 6X4 feet. Practice shallow
cultivation and mulch II need be. Put
in a cover crop the first Of July such
as buckwheat. This can be cultivated
into the soil in the spring, thus keep
ing up the amount OF humus in the

produces the best crops, care should
be taken to see that no wood is over
two years old. Prune out old wood az
soon as berries are picked out.
