BEANS FOR FOOD
INSTEAD OF BEEF
THAT'S THE WAY TO ESCAPE
THE COST OF HIGH LIVING
SAYS DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.

Washington, Aug, 6.-The prospect
of $40 beef on the hoof need not
alarm the poor man, according to
Chief Chemist Doolittle of the de-
partment of agriculture. Doctor WI
ley's successor says there are Sood
substitutes for meat, and today he
gave some advice on the subject OF
substitutes Tor beetsteak.
The remedy said Doctor Doo-
little lis beans. They are the vegetable
of the gods. associated with ambrosia.
| Full of protein, like meat, they take
its place better than anything else
we can get at a lower price. In the
! old country beans form large part
of the workingman diet, and he is
there healthy, strong and patient.
i very much believe that our ma
tional character would be improved
if we ate beans as literally as ana
the forefathers of some of us back
in Boston when that end of the
country had the name of furnishing
brains and conscience for the rest OF
the country.
Beans and peas are best of all
for a meatless, menu, but eat meat
once day if your stomach ano
pocketbook feel like it.
Other good substitutes for meat
of high protein value, are all xmas
of nuts, cheese and milk

less than $4,000 votes. There Is no
doubt whatever but what l am nom
mated by a big majority, and l 90
not believe the final count will miss

Mr.. Haskell declined to give out
a statement at this time, saying that
he mad not received sufficient in
formation from over the state 10
iustlry a statement of any kind. 10
his friends, however, he is saying
that it is a neck and neck race. In

swept Oklahoma county and is run

this morning.
Mr.. Wood will put in today look

that the building of the Ardmore,

NEED OF A NEW HORIZON
Line Of Endesyor Is a Grave
Mistake to Make.

Many excellent women, when the
flush of youth has passed. instead OF
maturing into enduring, increasing
usefulness and serenity, become like
unto a house left desolate. Whether
work be drudgery or delight, too ex-
elusive application to it naturally
tends to narrow the horizon. The
merchant finds himself surrounded by
dry goods talk and dry goods people
until the walls of his store are the
boundaries Of his world. The scient-
list who puts his soul and heart and
brain into the pursuit of the beetle
finds in time that every point of the
compass ends in beetle. The society
woman who finds all her interest IN
one class and in one set of events and
modes of living sees and feels little
of the vast and palpitating current of
human life above and below and
around her. The nerves and brain
and muscles grow weary of monotony
However intensely we apply ourselves,
we should keep our eyes on the dis
tant hills and the crimson sunset
There should always be kept open a
path that runs away to the west or
east or north or south, to an entirely
new horizon to some other work
one loves; to some other study that
appeals; to new game with a new
set of rules.-Collier's

borhood of Bradley Fold, a little vii.
lage three miles from Bolton, Lanca.
shire, England. Search for the mis-,
sing document is being made by a
woman from Gunncrsbury, London.
She believes that If she succeeds In
her quest, she will become entitled to
n valuable estate. The search was
prompted originally by statements
made by medium at spiritualistic
seance. The will Is supposed to be
concealed in a wall sunk in a shed
which has been bricked up for many
years. 1t formed a cellar to an old
house. The London searcher's ances-
tor, John Bradley, who married his
housekeeper was known to possess
great wealth. No will could be found
after his death.
