Beans
Whatever else the war is doing for
I us, it is surely enlarging our food
horizon. Two or three years ago, a
bean was a bean; just a plain white
navy bean; or you might haare in
cluded the idea of the lima bean in
your mental , vision of ' the word
bean." Now we have the soy bean,
the Swedish brown bean, the kidney,
the Mexican bean, the black bean,
the blackeyed bean, the chili bean
.11 coming into their own on our
:ables. The navy bean has largely
oeen drafted for military servic
which fact has meant that we at home
are relying more on the less known
kinas.
Food Value.
As far as I know, there is a great
similarity in the food value of the
various kinds. '"All are valuable as
meat savers, for they contain protein
or body-building food material; and
it is for protein that we value meat
v chiefly. The soy bean is much richer
r in fat .and poorer in starch than the
white bean. They are all probably
similar in their digestibility.
Beans, in general, are difficult of di
t gestion for some people; but that diffi
culty of digestion is removed to a
certain extent if the skfns are taken
off the beans. If the beans are soaked
overnight, it is possible to rub the
skins off. The person with a strong
digestion need not worry over the
digesting of the beans.
Cooking of Beans.
The cooking of beans is silimlar,
as far as I have discovered, with the
exception of the soy bean. The main
objection to its use is the great
amount of time necessary to soften it.
The tireless cooker is an aid, or the
pressure cooker; but soaking is neces
sary even with jhese cooking devices.
The other beans that I have worked
with namely, the black-eyed bean,
the black bean, the Swedish brown
bean and the pinto bean seem to cook
about as the white bean. In fact,
the other day, some navy beans were
cooked in the same fireless cooker
.with pinto beans, and the pinto beans
were better done in the given length
of time. j
Special Value of Pinto Beans.
The special reason why pinto beans
are offered for our use, is that they
will grow in arid soil that would
otherwise not be cultivated. Colorado
grows them, and I think some parts
of Nebraska. Their flavor - is good
and they are cheaper than white beans.
Some people object to the speckled
brown appearance, but the speckles
seem to "cook off;" for the cooked
' bean is a uniform brown color.
Mexican Baked Beans.

in warm water over night. Parboil in
m soda water and drain. Boil gently
7 until tender. w Place in baking dish.

. kitchens, to be conducted Dy tne wo.
F man's central committee on food con
servation. These kitchens will be estat
lished first in oooulous industrial sec
tions of the ckv. and modeled after
semi-community kitchens in Europe,
with the object of conserving tuel at
central cooking plants, conserving
food by cooking it efficiently in large
quantities and conserving human la.
bor. Soups, spaghetti, cereals, ana
cheaper cuts of meats will be cooked
first, and dried fruits and sldw-cook-ing
vegetables added later. Food will
be sold to families of limited means
at cost, plus a small maintenance
charge.

Cooking Advantages
By Use of Corn Oil
Smokeless cooking is a possibility
with corn oil, which has a burning
point of 650 degrees fahrenheit, as
compared with only 425 degrees for
lard, 250 degrees for butter, 535 de
grees for cottonseed soil, 600 degrees
for olive oil, and 620 degrees for pea
nut oil. The low burning point of
lard and butter fills the kitchen with
burning grease smoke, according to
Dr. Ralph St. J. Perry, in the Minne
apolis Tribune. The high burning
point of corn oil enables the cook to
bring it to 60 degrees before; putting
in food for Trying, and the hot oil in
stantly seals in food juices, retaining
flavor and aroma, the food being
cooked in . its own juice instead of
saturated with grease. In one experi
ment, -an onion, a aougnnut, a meat
ball, and a codfish ball wete all fried
together in 'the same corn oil, none
of them absorbing flavors from the
others, an illustration of this sealing.
Corn oil also has a lower congeal
ing point than any other salad oil,
remaining clear and fluid dowa. to 14
degrees fahrenheit, and so makes
salad dressings which are free from
lumps. Olive oil becomes cloudy and
solidifies at 32 degrees, as does pea
nut oil.1 It is said that nothing equals
American corn oil for nice; even
browning of fancy dishes. Oil con
tent averages about 5 per cent of the
corn grain, so that a 3,000,008,000
bushel corn crop holds ootentiallv
400,000,000 gallons of corn oil. The
oil is extracted from the corn germs,
purified by filtration and steaming,
which sterilizes it and tur,ns it into a
clear, limpid, pale straw-colored food
oil, free from odor, possessing a pe
culiar sweet flavor and keeping with
out rancidity for many months.
Fruit in dandy Store
With prospects of reduced .sales in
candies, due both to sugar conserva
tion and reduced consumption of
candy by the public, the candy ealer
is advised to turn his attention to
fresh fruits as merchandise, and build
up a thriving fruit department. All
confectioners have handled fruit, says
tne northwestern confectioner, but
chiefly as a side line. Now it should
be shoved to the front and advertised,
to let the public know that it is health
ful, and that many fresh and dried
fruit products are fairly satisfactory
substitutes for sugar in the diet.
Featuring a different fruit each week
is recommended, choosing some spe
cialty that happens to be in season
and backing it up with newspaper ad
vertising, window displays, 6how
cards and the like.. Most fresh and
dried fruits may not only be eaten out
of hand like confectionery, but also
serve as a basis for salads, desserts
and cooked dishes, recipes for which
can be distributed by dealers and
demonstrations or preparing and serv
ing be given in the store.

Advice to the Lovelorn.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
iwo uins.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We are
two girls ot 15 and IS. both very good look
ing; ws are considered the best looking
girls in school, much to our disadvantage.
We are sophomores In high school. Last
year, as freshmeu. we got along fine In our
studies, but this year we are bothered very
much with beaux and Mates.
There are two boys who aro Juniors who
think very much of us and we of them.
They sre not very good looking; but very
rich.
They ask us for a date nearly every night.
Ws don't like to "turn them down" but we
must get our lessons. What shall we do?
There Is onj boy who is quite old but
small and homely who Insists on us wearing
his rings and going to the show with him.
How could we politely refuse theee amall
attentions? The other boys get Jealous and
ss they aro our steadies we wouldn't like
to give them ur '
Our folks don't know about us going out
with them, as we board In town.
The other night when we were standing
out on the walk after the show, they eald
they'd like to kiss us some times. We, of
course, refused. Was this right?
Is It proper for us to go out auto riding
with them?
What colors are moat suitable for a
brunette? Should we wear high heols? How
long should ws wear our d reuses? Should
wa put our hair up? If so, how? Bhould
we wear ribbons?
Hoping to see the answer to this letter
soon and; obllg", BROWN EYES.
I would let my friends know that I could
not go out on school night. Tour studies
should com first and It you are out unll
late your Drain will be tired and your
thought will stray from your books. I
would not tajce these boys seriously ,snd
would not, under anyN circumstance, allow
them any liberties, for you cheapen your
selves by so doing far more than you realise.
rather no ono knew it. riease print this
in Th Omaha Pally Bee. Thanking you
for the advice. From
BROWN AND BLUB ETES.
Do not allow these boys to taks liberties,
for you will be much hsppler If you trest
them just as good friends. Tou are both
too young to be thinking of love and 1
would not worry If the young man did not
write to me. Tou nilnfat ask the boys If
they eared to go to church, but I think li
would be better It the Invitation came from
them. .
He Is Selfish.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 26 and have been going about with
a man two years my seniot for five years.
When we first met he was not making
enough to support a wife, but now that he
has advanced he says he would never marry,
as he sees too much unhapplness among
married people. TROUBLED.
The young man' attitude is selfish and
unfair. Of course there isn't any written
guaranteo ot hapi'laess In marriage but
life Is not In the' habit of Issuing "written
guarantees.'' When girl has given a man
five years ct devotion and has waited all
that while for him to make good, he owes
her something after he doea make good.
If your selfish suitor has no Idea In the
ivorld other tkan to amuse himself and
assure himself 'of your companionship with
out having to assume ths obligations ot
marriage be Is got the sort of man for
you to waste your life on. If he loves
you naturally h will want you for his
wlte, and If he doesn't, have the courage
to break away from him and not to break
your heart over him. '
In a dignified way that will show the
young men how you feel about such things
and I am sura that ha will not ask you
again.
Try to Help Him.
Pear Mlei Fairfax:
1 would 'Ilk your opinion of a young
man who Is constantly talking of himself
what he can do, haa don or will do. Part
of his conversations is true, but one gets
tlrod of listening; end he Is "noisy" and
rough and unrefined, but the best-natured
person at heart II Is always ready and
willing to do for thos who ask favors
of any and all kinds. CORNELLS.
My dear girl, don't you realise that you
are a snob at heart? I cannot print all of
your lengthy letter about this youth, for
wham you would probably car If yo)
wer bravo enough to face tht posslbl
criticisms ot your friends. Of pours,
man who Is always talking ot himself la
a bit of a bore, but in a tactful way a good
friend ought to be able to our him of
this trying habit. Since hs Is kind and
generous snd hss good Impulses, he seems
to fsll Into the "rough diamond" class. If
your friendship Is worth anything at all
It ought to be sufficiently kind and gen
erous to overlook and try 'to help conquef
his bad fbtnts for the sake ot his good
enes.
Good Friends.
Dear Mis Fairfax, Omaha Bes: We are
two frlenda that are going with boys a year
and a half our senior. We are 16 veara
of age, and would Ilk your advice concern
ing a tew questions. Where is then any
harm In letting a boy kiss you before you
are engaged? How can you persuade a boy
to go to church with you on 8unday nights?
What would you do when a boy tells you
he1 loves you, then he goes away tor a
week and never writes? Please do not put
our name or town to this as we would
Thank Hirn.
Dear Miss Ftirfax: Please sdvlie us as
to how a young girl shoutd express her
appreciation upon being escorted home from
a theater, dinner or dance by her gentle
man friend.
Is It proper for a girl to kiss her escort
"good night?" What should she say If
asked to do so? BLUE ETES.
I would thank the young man and ex
pre mysslf as having enjoyed th ven
Ing. Tou can refuse any request for kisses
