Where Beans Ar. Valuable.

Great interest Is shown by the ma
lives of Manchuria In the crops OF the
common soy. or soy bean. Mr.. Clarence
Poe, the author Of "Where Half the
World Is Waking Up" says:
Bankers, merchants. farmers, even
the ladies one meets in drawing rooms
In the foreign concessions, not only
know BEANS but can talk beans too.
II the present rate Of progress Is main
tanned 1t will not be long until no
one will enumerate the worlds great
crops-wheat, corn, rice, cotton, ETC.
without including beans. In a very
great measure the beans have the same
properties as cotton seed, for an oil Is
extracted that Is used for much the
same purposes as cottonseed oil, and the
residue, called bean cake Is about the
equivalent Of cottonseed meal. My first
acquaintance with the bean cake was
In Japan, where l found 1t enriching
the earth for vegetable growing. Japan
imports an average Of half a million
tons a year to put under Its crops.
Manchuria also uses not little for the
same purpose"

Dolnx the Dishes.


Itis matter of considerable aston

ipely cooks three meals day, sweeps,
duets and makes beds, scrubs the kitcb.
On floor and polishes the silver, goes to
market and takes the baby out for an
airing, and bends over the sewing ms
chine for hours at time, will yet balk
at the small matter Of washing the
dishes. This dull duty she looks upon

over the telephone, but the dishes are as
persistent as the ticking OF clock.
You've just got to do them!
Well, there's no use kicking against
the pricks. 1t only hurts ones toe and
does the pricks no satisfactory injury.
Dishes are offensive only In proportion
az they have been offended. Piled, bel
ter.skelter, in the sink and left till an
nssasonable hour, they hurl reproach
