would be needed. The vegetables
should be chosen for their color

AS far as food values are con-

when there is a green vegetable, a
Starchy one, and crisp succulent
one.
EXCELLENT CHOICE
One of the dried legumeS is an
excellent choice for the starchy
vegetable. for they are also rich
in protein. Most of the dried
vegetables must be soaked over
night before cooking. Black eyed
peas. green split peas, red kidney
beans. lazy, and lima beans, the
soy bean. and the dark brownish
German bean are available.
The usual seasoning for the
legumeS is left over bits of ham,
ham bone, or chopped bacon.

of bad treatment.

it would not be foolish for me to

and went to Salt Lake City.

He went to Portland and opened a law
office. From there he went to join the
gold stampede in the Couer d'Alene
country of Idaho, and remained there
practicing law and mining for three
years.
He again entered politics, and in 1890
found himself aligned against Dubois
in the race for United States senator
from Idaho. Dubois was declared elected
and Claggett contested his seat. At
Washington he was given the privilege
of the floor to defend his claim to
oCdO Ill Vic oCA1dCC, d11O I1ldNC d SkCCC11
which won him great acclaim, but
which did not, however, win for him
the senate position. Dubois was seated.
Colonel Sanders, who was at that
time United States senator from Mon
tana, voted to seat Claggett, because,
he said. he was convinced that Clag-
gett was elected on the day prescribed
by law, and that Dubois was elected
prematurely.
Claggett in the next campaign ran
for the senate on the Populist ticket
and was defeated.
He afterwards went east and stumped
for free silver and wrote a pamphlet
