Jury SETS ASIDE
A. B. SLYE WILL

The trial of the case of Mary L..
Slye against Walter j. Mitchell and
w Mitchell Digges, Trustees under the
Will Of the late Augustus 3. Slye,
OF Charles county, was concluded yes
terday afternoon and resulted in a
verdict by the jury setting aside the
will. The case had been on trial in
the local Circuit Court, to which il
was removed from Charles county,
since Monday, last, and involved the
validity of the late Mr.. Slye's will.
The principal points at issue were
whether Mr.. Slye knew the purport
of the will; whether it was duly ex-
ecuted by him, and whether there was
any undue influence in connection
with the will.
The session of the court yesterday
was taken up principally with the
argument OF counsel, who were: Ed
ward L. Ward, A NJ. Sproesser, OF
Baltimore City, and Nicholas H
Green, of Annapolis, for Miss Slye;
and Albert S. j. Owens, of Baltimore
for Messrs. Mitchell and Digges, the
Trustees under the will.

NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN
FOR THRIFT PROMOTES
OLD CLOTHES LEAGUE

Results from the national thrift
campaign. carried on by the govern
ment, prove that the country is listen
ing to the official admmonitions 10
save. In this work women are ac-
eomplishing much through efforts that
cut down household expenses.
Secretary Glass announced recently
that more than $1.107 100000 has been
received in the Treasury through the
sale of Thrift Stamps and War Saw
ing Stamps. In the last three months
sales have shown an increase, the
August receipts being more than a
million dollars greater than those OF
September
One of the movements in the direc-
ton of thrift is the organization OF
Old Clothes Societies, which is in line
with the government effort to dis
courage the purchase of costly raj
ment in obedience to the frequent die
tates of fashion. The clerks in the
city hall. Chicago. have started one OF
these societies with chapters" in each

more new clothes until prices go
down." have been spreading, it is re-

MRS. HOUSEWIFE, DO
YOU KNOW THE CHEAP
AND NUTRITIOUS BEAN
Legumes Make Hearty And NOurish-
ing Dishes, Can BE Occas-
iOnally Substituted

Beans, though higher in price than
they were several years ago, are still
among the cheaper foods that can be
bought today. They are one of the
cheapest sources of protein and may
be used to help supply this valuable
food constituent in the diet, accord
ing to United States Department OF
Agriculture specialists. They are
known chiefly as a meat substitute
dish. A cup of baked beans, in which
a third of a cup of dried beans are
used, furnishes as much protein as a
quarter of a pound of sorloin steak
Obviously the third of "a cup of dried
beans is much the cheaper to pur-
chase. A pound of beef as purchased
usually has some refuse in the form
of skin, bone and gristle, while a
pound of beans has practically nc
refuse. From this standpoint. there
fore, as we'll as the difference in
price, the housewife who finds hel
food allowance growing low will dc
we'll to use beans often in place OF
meat.
The cheaper legumes, beans, peas
ETC.. should not be depended upon as
the sole source of protein for great
length of time. Milk, cheese, eggs, OIL
meat should furnish some of the pro
tein in a weeks dietary.
There is little difference in foo(
value among the many common va
rieties of beans, with the exception O
the soy bean, which is richer in pro
tein and in fat than the ordinary
beans All legumes should be thor
oughly cooked. Long cooking at mod
crate heat is best.
