Profits and Prices
Profits may be considered
from two' angles:
1st Their effect on prices;
2nd As a return to investors.
When profits are small as
compared with sales, they have
little effect on prices.
Swift & Company's profits
are only a fraction of a cent
per pound on all products sold,
and if eliminated entirely
would have practically no
effect on prices.
Swift & Company paid 10
per cent dividends to over 20,000
stockholders out of its 1917
profits. It also had to build
extensions and improvements
out of profits; to finance large
stocks of goods made necessary
by unprecedented requirements
of the United States and Allied
Governments; and to provide
protection against the day of
declining markets.
Is it fair to call this
profiteering ?

ECONOMICAL DISHES FOR THE
FAMILY.
Soy beans, which have boon lined for
years ns a forage crop In this country.
are now coming into
their own ns fooil for the
human fnmlly. There
are several varieties
early and late, black,
green and brown. The
bean In highly nutritious,
containing protein which,
furnishes muscle-build-
Ing material, and t!.:cy also contain faL
making lyi especially valuable food ad
dition as an emergency food to substi
tute for more expensive legumes. The
fact that they contain no starch makes
them a valuable food for people who
must be restricted In this food ele
ment. These beans will grow on poor, light,
sandy soil, which will grow no other
crop successfully, and If the soil or
seed Is Inoculated will produce a fine
crop of food and leave the soli stored
with the valuable nitrogen which will
make other crops yield well on the
same soil. Where they nre grown M
soil fit for corn they give heavy yields.
Where dried soy beans are available,
they may be used for baking, Just as
the navy bean, and are much cheaper.
The gTeen soy bean compares favora
bly with the lima beans and nay be
cooked und served In the same man
ner. With the Increase in ncrenge for the
coming season, we may expect to find
an abundance of th"se beans at a rea
sonable price. As soy beans take long
er to cook than the navy bean they
must be soaked and cooked a little
longer to soi l en before putting them
to bake. As they lack starch, a little
Hour nay be added to thicken them, If
desired.
Soy bean meal is a by pimluct of
oil making, and will no doubt form n
VniOAblC s'ock food WhOd It comes into
more general use.
The soy bean i.-- sometimes called
logo bean. The fresh been may be
canned for winter use, just :is other
beans. Shell and put them Into a jar
after scalding and chilling) add a half
'aspoonful of Baft to a quart j:T and
mi with boiling water, partly tighten
the 1 i 1 of the Jar, so it may be safely
lifted, and place in n boiler, cover With
water to the K plh of an inch ami cook
Inn hours from t!i e beginning of the
boiling.

Locomotives to Be Equipped With f ire
Boxes Capahle of Burning Pulver
ited Compounds Will Reduce
Work of Firemen.
The MtpendttUre fOf locomotive fuel
en our steam railroads amounts to
nearly 88 per cent of the total cost of
comiucting its transportation, says
Scientific American. This enormous
Item of expenses, coupled with tho
ever increasing cost of all material,
flue to the Mgh price of labor, presents
a pTObletU which has engaged the at
tention of locomotive engineers for a
number of years.
Riper I inenU made in trio way of
burning solid fuel other than In grates
In cement kilns ami metallurgical fur
naces have been successful, and pul
verized coal Is now extensively used
for such purposes; hut the difficulties
Inseparable from the conditions under
which" a locomotive has to he operated
ure great and It is only recently that
appliances for burning powdered fuel
In locomotive fireboxes have been prac
tlcully developed.
A paper on the subject was present
ed at a meeting of the New York Rail
road club recently, nnd by the courtesy
of the club we are now able to give
some particulars of this Important step
In railroad fuel economy.
In the first place, It may be stated
that uuy solid fuel which In a dry pul
verized form has two-thirds of Its con
tents combustible will be suitable for
steam e,. I,, .rating purposes. There
fore, the low value conl mine and strip
pit products, such as dust, sweepings,
cuitn, stack and screenings, and even
lignite and peat, ure as suitable as the
lurger sizes and better grudes of cool
As some of the products above named
are now unsalable, the great saving ef
fected by the use of the new form of
fuel will he apparent; for the total
cost to prepare pulverized coal in a
properly equipped plant will be sotnt
thing less than 25 cents per ton. This
item will be more than offset by the
great difference In the cost of the
grades of coal purchased for pttlver
lzing as compared wlUi those that
would be required for burning sails
factorlly In grates.
The preparation of the fuel Is not
complicated. It must be thoroughly
dry; that is to say, the moisture should
not exceed 1 per cent und ground to a
fineness so that It will pass through a
screen from number 100 to number 200
mesh.
The first locomotive of any consider
able size to be fitted up In the United
Stutes or Canada (and so far as known,
lb the world) with successful apparu
tus for burning pulverized fuel In sus
pension Is a ten-wheel type engine.
This engine has cylinders 22 Inches In
diameter by 20 inches stroke. Drlv
lng wheels, 00 inches diameter. Boil
er pressure, 200 pounds. Heating sur
face, 2,0VJ square feet. Urate, area,
B5 square feet. It Is equipped with a
Schmidt superheater and has a trac
tive effort of 31,000 pounds. It was
converted Into a pulverized fuel burn
er in the eurly part of 1914.
The nrcmuns duties will be very
light compared with his work required
In hand tiring courser coal In the ordl
nary grates. This Is easily understood
when we recall that the fireman of a
heavy modern locomotive hus to shovel
coal Into the firebox at the rate of
about 6,000 pounds an hour, or 100
pounds a minute. This laborious work
cannot be done with the care necesr
sury to secure good combustion, with
the result thnt quantities of coal are
dropped Into the nshpan, the flues are
rapidly chocked with soot nnd clouds
of smoke, unburnt coal and sparks are
ejected from the stack, to the annoy
ance of passengers and danger to prop
erty adjacent to tho ruilway.
The Improved system will change ull
this, for even when fuel contains 15
per cent of nouoombustlblo matter only
about 2.5 per cent Is deposited in the
slag or ash pan, and this deposit Is
nonOOSttbWtlhie, Whereas, when coal
is b tuned In gratsa about 18 per cent
goes Into the ush pun, ami this resid
uum always contains more or less com
bustlhle matter. The saving In ush
pan waste alone Is an important Item
It Is stated I hat the use of puHer
Ized fuel effects a saving of from 1
to 25 per cent la coal or equivalent
heat value delivered, ns compared with
the hand firing of course coal on
grates.
In conclusion It must be noted that
there is a certain element of danger
In the bundling of pulverized coal that
does not obtain with the more Ineffec
tive coarse coal. Hut, with ordinary
cure and the observance of certain es
tablished rules, It Is comparatively
easy to avoid trouble, us Is shown by
the records of Industrial plants using
pulverized fuel.
