doubtless would have told anyone who

as the number of stores increased and
competition grew keener, some OF, the
merchants, to attract customers to

chases.
This innovation proved very popular
with the public, and soon other stores
were forced to adopt the custom. AT
the start the idea was to deliver arti-
cles which could not be carried con-
veniently by the customers. But as
time went on and the public iocked

Loves father, Henry Love- who was

The son grew up into manhood a

BATTLES LONG WITH FISH
Fisherman After lonq Struggle Lands
Largest swordfish Ever Seen
at Seabright, N. J.

Seabright, N. IA 4OO-pound
swordflsh, one Of the largest ever
brought to the shore at Seabright, N.
j., was captured near the Middle
Banks, about 20 miles from Seabright,
after a fight of nearly three hours by
Captain Leslie Of the Rumson Road
colony. '.
After several attempts to harpoon
the fish, Captain Leslie succeeded IN
spearing 1t in the side, and Alvin
Swanson, his companion, little later
sank another just behind the head.
For over two hours longer the mon
ster thrashed about trying to shake
out the harpoons, and for time the
boat was in danger Of overturning as
1t trailed the fish In his frenzied ef
forts to break loose.
At last, as he began to tire, the boat
was, pulled up to him and Captain
Leslie landed two more harpoons be-
hind the head, which took all the fight
out Of the creature. The finishing
touches were soon given, and the car
cass hauled into the boat. The fish
is said to have brought the largest
price ever paid for one Of. his kind.
His sword measured more than three
feet in length.

The recipes for the dishes cooked
for lunch may be given to the older
girls In school, discussed M class, and
tried at home. The special dish for
the day. which in winter Is usually
hot and in summer more often cold,
can be prepared and served at noon
by the girls In turn, working In groups.
1t will often be necessary to serve

gerous around food, since they can
convey to 1t the bacteria which cause
intestinal and other diseases.
Clean Hands Essential.
Clean hands should always be in
sisted upon, as well as clean spoons,
dishes, ETC., and individual drinking
cups. Furthermore, children should
be taught not to drink out of each
others cups or glasses or to use one
another's spoons or forks.
1t is seldom desirable to prepare
more than one dish day in a small
school, and this should, for the sake
of variety, differ from day to day. The
others can be brought from home. The
choice Of the dish to be cooked should
be determined partly by what 1t is
possible to do in the way Of cooking
at the school, partly by what pur-
chased or homegrown food Is avail
able, and what the school garden or
nelghboring fields or woods afford,
and partly by what the teacher has
learned from experience Is needed to
go with the foods brought from home.

the needed nutrients as they are now
understood. -

In the small rural school with only

does much better, mentally and phys
ically, than the one who has only cold
food, especially in winter weather.
The country child has quite as much
right to the benefits of the practice as
has the city child. Usually when there
lis a concerted Will to provide some
thing Of the sort. way Is found.
The situation, however, will require
a teacher Of ingenuity and of enthus-
iasm for her work. The simplest equip
ment includes a large kettle suitable
to be used on the stove which heats
the schoolhouse, measuring cup and
spoons, pairing knife, mixing spoon,
dish pans, and towels. 1t will usual
~ be possible for the boys to make a
set of shelves for the dishes, using
box lumber if no other is available,
and for the girls to make curtains or
other coverings for protection from
dust. The pupils WILL asa rule, be
found willing to bring plates, cups,
bowls, and spoons from home, If this
is necessary, in order to keep down
expenses. A fireless cooker can easily
be made by the pupils as class ex-
ercise. In this hot dish for lunch
can be prepared before school. The
fireless cooker Is convenient for meat
stews, meat and bean soups, cereal
mushes, and many other dishes that
require long cooking.

BEANS VERY POPULAR
AS ECONOMICAL FOOD
They Are One Of Cheapest
Sources Of Protein. <5s....

Quarter Of a Pound Of Juicy
Sirioln Steak.

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, according
to United States Department of Agri-
culture specialists. They are known
chiefly as meat substitute dish. A
cup of baked beans. In which third
Of cup of dried beans are used, fur
nishes as much protein as quarter
of a pound Of sirloin steak. Obviously
the third of cup of dried beans is
much the cheaper to- purchase. A
pound of beef as purchased usually
has some refuse In the form Of skin,
bone and gristle, while pound OF
beans has practically no refuse. From
this standpoint, therefore, as we'll as
the difference in price, the housewife
who finds her wood allowance grow
ing low will do well 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,
or meat should furnish some of the
protein in a weeks dietary.
There is little difference in food val
lie among the many common varieties
Of beans, with the exception Of the
soy bean, which is richer in protein
and in fat than the ordinary beans.
All legumes should be thoroughly
cooked Long cooking at moderate
heat is best E.
A favorite and standard recipe for
baking beans is the following: Soak
The beans over night, then rinse and
boil them until the skins crack when
blown upon, but the beans are not
quite soft. Use one-half pound of
salt pork to one quart Of beans. Cut
he pork nearly through the rind and
add before boiling the beans. After
boiling, pour into the bean pot, in
sert the pork, the cut rind being level
with the, top Of the beans. Add
pint of water used for boiling, ~hav-

molasses. The water should come about

The popularity Of these nonservics
stores Is due in part to the campaign
which has been carried on by many
agencies to educate the people TO the
fact that those who are willing to
carry home their purchases can save
money. One Of the forces at work
to cut down the cost Of marketing, so
the producer can obtain better re-
turns and the consumer pay less than
he does for his commodities, is the
bureau OF markets Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Free Delivery I Mlsnomer.
This bureau points out that 1t Is an
absolute truism that there is no such
thing as free delivery. It may be free
In the sense that the customer does
not make separate payment for that
item. but each delivery costs the mer-
chant, a definite sum, and to cover this
cost he must put a higher price on
his commodities, and the customer
pays, though Indirectly, for the serv-
ice.
Market baskets are in style nova
days, and 1t is one of the wholesome
signs Of the age that people are break
ing away from the idea that a perfect
lady or gentleman never carried q
package. Now, they are carrying
home not only food supplies but other
articles as we'll. Where the cost of
delivery has been eliminated from the
stores prices, persons so situated that
they can take advantage of the fact
and perform their own delivery serv-
Ices can often make appreclable saw
