Vermillion, s. D. Don't use soda
for rarboiling beans, is the advice Of
the state food and drug commissioner.
on account Of the distribution over the
state Of quantities Of imported white
beans which apparently are Of pois-
onous variety from India. Several
samples Of these beans have been re-
ceived at the laboratory Of the depart
ment here and all have shown the
presence Of substance which yields
.prussic acid when the beans are soaked
with water. II soda is used in cook
ing such beans it forms combination
with the acid and retains the poison.
It is doubtful whether there is any
method Of cooking beans Of this char
acterl which will always render the
cooked mass harmless, but in order to
be on the safe side it is recommended
that AL white beans be soaked in cool
water (without soda) over night, the
water poured off in the morning and
the beans rinsed thoroughly in cold
water. They should then be covered
with cold water and placed on to cook,
being brought slowly to boiling tenn
lperature and boiled in an open Gun
covered) vessel for not less than thirty
minutes,y then the cooking completed
% desired. Hot water should in no
case be placed on the beans at first as
It destroys the engine which liberates
the poison and 30 causes the poison to
be retained to be liberated later in the
intestinal tract Of the consumer. AS
the poisonous beans on the market are
somewhat difficult to distinguish from
some Of the larger varieties Of field
beans and navy beans, all Of which
are usually sold as navy beans, the
safe way j. to use this process for all
white beans until the poisonous ones
are known to have been wholly remov-
de from the market.
Steps are being taken by the South
Dakota food inspectors in cooperation
with the federal authorities to get all
poisonous beans ont Of tho state or to
have them destroyed. It seems that
AL which have entered South Dakota
shave been shipped from Minneapolis.

that the aims Of Germany's enemies

OF 1EUTON
FLEET IS EXPLAINED

London, Oct. 13.-The inactivity
of the German fleet in the Baltic sea
recently, when there we're obvious
for attacking Russia,
according to a dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle from Amsterdam, was due
to the mutinous outbreak in the
German navy. The outbreak affected
at least six important units of the
fleet, putting them out OF action and
causing the authorities to doubt the
discipline and loyalty of the crews
Of other large ships. 1t was impos-
sible, the dispatc hadds, to take stern
measures on large scale against
the offenders because that would
hove increased the evil. - ~.
