SOY BEANS A
NOURISHING FOOD
Are Cheap but Contain Rich
Supply of Valuable
Nitrogen

Washington, D. c., April Soy
beans, introduced into the United
States more than hundred years ago
primarily for use as forage crop, are
in reality one of the most nutritious of
the legumes when used as human
food. according to specialists of the
ture. These beans have been used for
centuries as a staple article of diet in
China and Japan and are coming to
be used more generally in this coun-
try as consumers learn their food
value and palatability. Since they fur
nish protein which contains nitrogen
for muscle building, and valuable fat,
they are especially important to turn
to as an emergency addition to the
usual dietary or as substitutes for
other foods furnishing protein and fat.
Moreover, the fact that they contain
no starch makes them valuable for
invalids who cannot eat starchy foods.
These beans may be grown easily in
practically all sections of the country
where corn is grown and give heavier
yields than most other beans.
Soy beans have been so important
for other purposes that until recently
they have attracted little attention for
food purposes in this country. They
are now coming into their own for
that purpose, however, and the acre
age of soy beans has increased stead
lily in recent years. The dried beans
may be purchased now in a number of
markets in various parts of the coun-
try, often under the name of togo
beans, and should. with the increased
acreage of the coming season, be more
generally available. Soy bean meal, a
by-product of oil making. is valu-
able food and no doubt will come into
more general use with the increased
production of soy beans.
Where dried soy beans are available
they may be baked with or without
pork like navy and other beans. They
should be cooked longer than other
kinds of beans. The cooking may be
done economically in a fireless cook
er of the sort provided with heating
stones or plates; or on the ledge of
the fireboX inside the furnace if the
house happens to be heated with one
of this type.
Dried soy beans have been canned
in considerable quantities during the
past season, baked with pork, and are
on sale in this form in numerous
markets. Canned green soy beans,
which may be compared with Lima
beans, also are on the market in
some sections of the country. Both
these canned products yield as high
proportion of energy and a higher
proportion of protein than the canned
beans with which they are most
closely comparable. and so are more
nourishing. Both are produced and
handled usually at a lower cost than
other beans and should, therefore, be
obtainable at lower prices.

NAVY in GREAT
NEED OF OFFICERS
Enlisted Men Now Have a
Chance to Enter Annapolis
Naval Academy
81 /NIZERNAUok1Z. 4.

The need for additional officers in
the United States navy is being more
keenly felt, with the commissioning
of every new dreadnaught. One of
the last acts of the Congress which
ceased on March 4, 1917 was to pro-
vide that 100 midshipmen at the Ma
val Academy. Annapolis, Maryland,
were to be drawn from the enlisted
personnel of the navy. Every enlisted
man under twenty years of age, with
one years sea service, is eligible for
one of these vacancies, and the eX-
aminations are entirely competitive,
the highest 100 young men receiving
the appointments.
The average young man in the
navy, like the average young man in
civilian life,. has not had high school
education, and this fact is inducing
high school boys to enlist in the navy,
as it is practically certain that any
young man with Il ground work of
two years or more high school train
ing, who really desires to enter An
napolis, can do so.
Naval authorities consider midship-
men with this preliminary training
afioat of particular value, as their
knowledge of naval affairs give such
young men much better grasp of the
possibilities of their future career,
than is held by the candidates ap-
pointed directly from civil life by

the Stratford, Fairfield, Linwood,
Brooklands and enclosed cars, the
volume of business for these 81 days
totaled $2,755,000. This is not only
the best March we have ever had, but
it exceeds the record of any other
month in our history.
I'VE feel prouder of the fact that
we succeeded in delivering the cars,
and thus kept faith with the dealers,
than we do of the record for volume
of business. March is not an easy
month at best. but never before have
motor car manufacturers encounter
ed such difficulties as those which
prevailed during the month which
has just closed. There was q hope
less shortage of freight cars and con-
ditions became chaotic. We therefore
determined that we would have to
provide q solution ourselves and, as
far as possible, make our own de-
liVeries. In spite of the fact that the
drive-aways are usually summer in
stitutions and that March was gen.
orally vile as to weather, making the
roads horrible to travel over, we de-
livered a very large number of cars,
under their own power, direct to
dealers: and drive-aways became
daily feature. In some instances cars
were delivered in this manner as far
away as 700 miles. We will continue
this method of delivery as far as pos
sible so long as the usual means of
transportation are inadequate. 1t is
in view of the facts l have just cited
that we feel our March record is sig
nificant in more ways than one"

Eat enough and no more. Eat for

(b) When food is burned or spoiled

poorly seasoned food will be left on
the table and probably wasted Buy
food wisely and then prepare it care
fully.
(c) When too much food. is pre-
pared for a meal. Unserved portions
are apt to be thrown into the garbage
pail or allowed to spoil. Many house
keepers do not know how to use left
over foods to make appetizing dishes.

Food Waste of About SOC, ZOO, 900
For partial immediate relief, ev-
cry individual and community should
consider earnestly the matter of food
conservation and the limitation of
waste. AS nation we seem to have
disdain of economizing. In many
homes there is strong feetling that
1t is only decent to provide more
food than will be eaten and that it is
demeaning to reckon closely. The ex-
perts of the Department of Agricul-
ture report to me that the dietary
| studies made by them point to an
annual food waste of about $500, ,O0O,-
600. OF course, the waste in families
of very limited means is slight, but
in the families of moderate and am
pie means the waste is considerable.
Even If the estimate were reduced by
half, the waste would still be enor-
nous.

the experts assert, results in large
measure from bad preparation, and
bad cooking, from improper care and
handling, and, in well to-do families,
from serving an undue number of
courses and an over-abundant supply
and failing to save and utilize the
food not consumed. AS an instance
of improper hapdling, 1t is discovered
that in the preparation of potatoes 20
per cent. of the edible portion in many
cases is discarded. Secretary of
Agriculture, March 3. 1917.
