one type of bean, usually almost any
other variety may be substituted.
Here are the rules for successful
bean cookery, given by the home
economist in the Department OF
Agriculture.
Soak beans overnight or al least
five or six hours before you cook
them. One cup of dry beans will
yield from two 10 three cups CT
cooked beans.
To get the most food value from
beans, use the soaking water for
cooking. II your family objects to
the too-strong flavor of beans
cooked this way, however, use fresh
water for cooking
Use soft water if you can. Hard
water toughens the bean skins.
Never use soda to cook beans. This
destroys the valuable vitamin B1
as well as some of the other vitamins
present in smaller amounts in the
beans.
Cook beans slowly. Simmer Them
on top Of the stove. Use a slow
oven (around $50 degrees F. for
baked beans. Watch them carefully
as they cook and keep adding more
liquid.
Season beans with something salt.
sour, fresh, crisp, or bright and
spicy. Beans are bland and they
combine well with crisp bacon, ham
knuckle, salt pork, chill, a dash of
lemon juice, onion, tomatoes or hot
tomato sauce.
Since beans are such good energy
foods. they are especially adapted
to filling main dishes. For a spicy
bean stew cook IL cups dry beans
until tender. Brown one-half cup
chopped onion in salt pork fat, add
one-haf pound ground lean meat.
stir and cook slowly for five
minutes. Combine meat, onion.
salt pork and and three cups of
canned tomatoes with the cooked
beans. Add salt and pepper to
taste and simmer until meat is
tender and the f1avors are well
blended. This recipe will serve six.
Hot bean salad is an excellent way
to use cooked beans on hand. This
dish is salad in name only" how
ever, because it is filling enough
for a main dish. Cut strips of
bacon or salt pork into half-inch
pieces and fry them to light brown.
Add two-thirds cup of chopped onion
and brown lightly. Add six cups
baked or boiled beans. one teaspoon
of mustard. one-half cup of vinegar,
one-half cup Of water and dash OF
pepper. Simmer until the beans ab-
sorb the vinegar and water. Serve
hot.
An extra good, hearty sandwich
for the lunch pail may be made from

seasoning use plenty of minced

Manner a rs
of the
Moment

The bone crunching handshake is
dreadful menace. Some men seem
to take pleasure in grabbing wom-
ans hand and squeezing it as
though it were a lemon. The more
rings on the hand the harder they
squeeze.
They have an idea that it is
hearty shows warmth, hospi-
tality or something. Or, maybe,
they Just don't know their own
strength.
But IT'S high time they learned
% that a handshake that hurts
doesn't make . girl feel welcome,
and ~ that a masculine hand is
probably bigger and stronger than
any Woman's. If they can remem-
ber those two principles. they may
learn to shake hands properly.

TELEPATHY


II would appear that the tele'
phone and telegraph business is
still a more reliable means of
communication than mental tele-
pathy-even though the latter is
cheaper. We arrive at this conclu-
sion after noting results OF the eH-
pertinent by three men who sat
down at a table in New York and
tried TO transmit their thoughts 70
25 psychology students, assembled
at the American University in
Washington. D. c. BY means OF
extra sensory perception, the
Washington students were to per-
ceive what the New Workers were
thinking about. but their efforts
we're not a glowing success.
One man-Daniel NJ. Eisenberg.
who makes a business OF finding
lost thought about eight
persons, Ethel Barrymore, Benito
MuSsolini, Mark Twain, Walt Dis
ney. Mayor F. II. LaGuardia, Henry
Ford. George Gershwin and Charles
Evans Hughes. The students, in
Washington however. named all the
well-known personages in the book
and We do mean the book.
They had been asked to read a
book by a newspaperman-artist, S.
J. Woolf, describing the noted
personages he has interviewed
and sketched, and we're given a
list OF 25 people from the book
for use in the test. These names
were divided among the three per-
sons in Nav York. and each. in
rurn, concentrated on each name
on his list for two minutes. The
order OF the names was unknown
to the students in Washington.
After each list, DR.. John Edward
Bentley OF the American UNIVERSE
~ reported the results OF the stu
dents tests by telephone from
Washington.
On Eisenberg's test, nine stu
dents each placed one Of the eight
names in its. correct position.
No student had more than one
name in its correct position. how
ever. On a later test, three stu
dents placed two names correctly.
Gershwin's name appeared on IA q
the student lists, but was listed in
correct order on only two lists.
All % names included in the
three lists were mentioned once
or more during Eisenberg's test,
however.
DR.. Bentley, phoning from
Washington, expressed his gratifi-
cation with the results OF the test,
but added they were not as sue
cessful as he had hoped. The o.
element created by the newspaper
photographers who covered the
test might have disturbed the at
mosphere.
There may be some encourage
ment in the fact that the students
were about eight per cent correct.

cent on all extra sensory percep-

those in vigorous adult life. The
middle-aged and elderly patient
may have symptoms from a par
ticular condition that are very
different from the symptoms of
shat condition in younger life.
And besides that, they have spe-
eial problems Of their own.
These observations apply to
disorders Of the nervous system in
those over fifty. Most nervous
symptoms at this age are due to
changes in the arteries Of the CEN
trail nervous system, particularly
in the brain. The commonest seri-
GUS complication of this is when
one of the hardened arteries
breaks and an apoplexy occurs.
Plenty Of people get over apoplex-
les, however, and only small per-
centage Of them have the residual
one-sided paralysis. A valued old
friend of mine had mild apoplec-
tic attack fifteen years ago and
has gone on ever since in spite of
frantic medical advice to the con-
trary, tending to the details Of
large business.
The little losses of memory and
habitual forgetfulness that de-
scend upon some over fifty are I'M
doubtedly due also to changes in
the arteries of the brain. The
, blood sometimes flows sluggishly
through quite important areas
and their functional activity is
diminished. Personality changes,
moods, suddenly acquired preju-
dices against members of the fam
lily, have also an organic basis in
poor circulation in certain locali-
cations in the brain.
Tremor Of Muscles
The most annoying Of the syrnp-
toms Of hardened arteries in the
brain is the trembling and tremor
of the muscles. These are often
noticed only when voluntary ac-
ton is intended. | can tell the age
Of many Of my correspondents by
the handwriting. More amazing is
the tremor that persists even when
the individual is quiet. Some new
remedies have been suggested for
this condition which give it bet
ter outlook than was once the case,
but in the elderly, remedies do not
always work SO we'll as in the
young.
This brings up the subject Of
the action Of stimulating and de-
pressing drugs in the elderly. Al
coholic beverages may act very
peculiarly here. Many an aging
gaffer who has been used to his
dram before supper, finds it makes
him so confused he has to give it
up. Remedies intended reproduce
sleep may cause wild excitement
in these subjects.
The digestion is not always up
to par in them either, in spite Of
the persistence of appetite, and
they may not absorb all the ele-
ments Of balanced diet even il
they eat a well balanced diet. So
nutritional deficiencies may cause
mental confusion and neuralgias
and peculiar sensations Of the
skin, and require reinforcement
with the vitamins.
