the adoption Of his plan for securing a
sufficient supply of adequately trained
officers for the enlarged military force

This consists. In brief. OF the estab-

First.-It would secure large num-

out by West Point, even should 1t be
doubled or even trebled In size.
Second-It would secure a we'll dis

COOKING LIMA BEANS.
MATTER WORTHY CAREFUL AT.
TENTloN OF HOUSEWIFE.
Food Specialists Suggest Some Meth
ods Of Preparing the Dried and
Canned Product TO the Best
Possible Advantage.

Food experts have long been insist
ing upon the Importance of dried
beans, peas, cowpeas and similar
legumes, and in one form or another
such foods are an accepted part of the
diet in most families. In order that
she may make the diet varied. 1t is to
the housekeeper's advantage to know
a number OF good ways OF serving such
foods, and so the home economies ex-
perts OF the department have made
some suggestions based upon their
studies OF foods and their uses In the
home.
Fresh green lima beans when at
their best have delicate, spicy or
pungent flavor, which to some palates,
at least, suggests curry. fairly we'll
known (any grocer can get it) though
not very common spice, which is per-
haps most familiar in such dishes as
"curried lamb" or "curried veal" This
suggested the possible use OF curry as
a seasoning for lima beans, and the
tests which have been made gave very
satisfactory results with dried and
canned as well as with fresh beans.
When preparing dried lima beans,
soak them an hour or two Tor even
longer), according to dryness, and
cook until tender. Then add the curry
powder Tin the proportion OF one-half
teaspoonful QeveD to each pound OF
dried beans) rubbed into tablespoons
full OF butter and mixed with a few
spoonfuls of hot water. Add salt
and pepper to taste and cook slowly
until the curry flavor is well dis.
tributed through the beans.
That the method can also be fol.
lowed with good results in preparing
canned lima beans for the table is OF
! interest to housokeepers as well as To
the canning clubs organized as a part
OF the department work and for whom
some special studies OF the use OF
canned vegetables have been under.
taken. In this case, as with dried
beans, the amount of curry powder
should be just sufficient to give deli
cate flavor. A quarter of a teaspoons
full QeveD is sufficient for quart can
of beans.
For variety n little onion may be
used, with or without curry. Cut the
onion very fine, cook IL in a covered
stewpan with little butter and few
tablespoonfuls of water until II is ten
der. and then add to the beans.
Another good combination is canned
lima beans with pimientos or sweet
peppers. with or without the addition
OF the finely-chopped onion. cooked
until 1t is tender. The pimientos. be
cause Of their red color. add to the at
tractiveness of the dish as well as tC
the flavor. One-half Of a good-sized

DAIRY
FACTS
LOCATION OF MILK IN A cow
seeretory Glands Take Raw Materials
From the Blood and Manufacture
Them Into Product.

In the system OF the dairy COW there
are two kinds OF glands: excretory
glands and secretory glands. A good
example OF the excretory gland is the
kidney An excretory gland does not
manufacture, but simply serves as a
vehicle for transferring waste from
the body.
The secretory glands are manufac-
turers. They take the raw materials
from the blood and manufacture them
into a special product The mammary
gland, located in the upper part OF
the udder of the COW. is a secretory
gland. It takes the raw materials
from the blood and manufactures milk.
The large veins seen under the alb
domen OF the COW do not contain milk.
as a great many people suppose. They
contain impure blood. This blood Is
returning to the heart It has passed
through the mammary gland of the
COW, deposited the food material and
absorbed the waste.
AS fast as the milk is manufactured
from the blood, II is stored in the
udder of the COW. The milk is being
manufactured all the time that the
COW is fed and cared for. She works
day and night. So far as known milk
is not manufactured any faster during
milking than 1t is any other time, but
the process of milk manufacture con.
tinues. and is in proportion to the size
and quality of the mammary gland,
amount of blood and raw material
supplied by the COW.
