Mrs. HOuSe70ife, Do You Kno7C
the Cheap and Nutritious Bean?

WASHINGTON. ID. G. Nov. 32.-
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 20 help supply this
valuable food constituent ia the diet,
according 20 United States depart
msnt or agriculture specialists They
are known chiefly as g meat substi-
tute dish A cup OF baked beans,
IN which a third OF q cup OF dried
beans are used. furnishes as much
protein as a quarter OF a pound OF
sirioin steak Obviously the third
OF a cup OF dried beans is much the
cheaper 90 purchase. A pound OF
beef an purchased usually has some
refuse in the form OF skin. bone. and
gristIe. while a pound OF beans has
practically M refuse. From this
standpoint, therefore, as we'll az the
difference I'm price. the housewife
who finds her food allowance grow
ing low will do well to use beans
oftsa IN place or meat.
The cheaper legumes. beans. peas.
etc. should not be depended upon as
the sole source OF protein for a great
length OF time. MIX. cheese, eggs,
or meat should furnish some OF the
protein IN a weeks dietary
There r. little difference IN food

boil them until the skins crack when
blown upon. but the beans are not
quite soft Use one-half pound OF

DETERMINE WRECK
RESPONSIBILITY
Deceased Engineer and Conductor
Rufe Diggs Held at Fault For
Head-On Collision.

Monday the Louisville & Nashville
railroad officials announced the find
ings of the board of inquiry in the
recent Faxon head-on collision. The
service record of Engineer W. A.
Stevens of the north bound freight
train will be marked to show that he
was responsible together with Con-
ductor Rufe Diggs. Stevens lost his
life in the collision. Conductor
Diggs was discharged from the SER
vice this week.
It is said the board, which met here
with the federal railroad administra-
fidh representatives, determined that
the northbound train was running at
a rate of speed in excess of the time
card allowance, and that the sngin-
eer and conductor of that train were
at fault for violating the rules which
prohibited the train passing the north
switch at Faxon without first ascer-
tanning if the opposing train had ar
rived. Flagman McAllister was not
held in fault.
