dered and struggled up the hill toward
La Tullerle farm on the night of No
vember 4. 1018. where German officers
were living close to Beaumont, think
ing that the neareat American soldier
was eight kilometers away.
He says: "Silently the Americans,
panting from their long march, formed
and closed In upon the farm, as old
Mosby's men used to close In on some
devoted federal outposts In Virginia, or
an George Roger« Clark's grim fron
tiersmen closed In on the British at
their hall In the wilderness fort nt

“There was a pnnse ns they crept
up close. Then a sudden rush, a gust
of cries, and through the doors nnd
windows they hurst In. Knots of Ger
man officers, bending over maps nnd
dispatches, looked up In horror Into
the muzzles of rifles nnd the stern,
white faces behind them ; men curled
up In blankets In the corners staggered
to their feet and held their hands aloft.
This sort of warfare had a tnng of the
new-world daring In It that the dis
ciples of Von Clausewltz and Luden-
dorff could not comprehend. It set
German logic nt naught, but they were
obliged to yield to It. Ln Tullerle
farm, a German headquarters,' four
miles from the front, had been throt
tled hy n hand reaching out of the

Washington.— Railroads of the coun
try, through the association of railway
executives and the American Railway
association, have asked the interstate
commerce commission to exercise its
emergency powers to relieve the car
shortage and freight congestion.
In a statement filed with the com
mission, the railroad officials declared
the situation was such as to “warrant
and to require emergency action sim
ilar to that taken when this country
entered the war.”
The railroads’ formal petition asks
the cgmmission to assume its emer
gency power under the Esch-Cummina
bill, which gives it power to supervise
distribution of cars and motive equip
ment, curtail passenger service and
issue priority orders.
Appeals of the railroads for help
have brought to light new dangers. De
velopments showed that a decidedly
menacing condition confronted the
commercial world through the tie-up
of the financial resources of business
houses. Delay in movement of prod
ucts was declared to have brought
many plants face to face with an im
mediate shutdown.
Interest rates at this time ase so
high as to make it out of the question
for most of the manufacturing con
cerns that borrow to finance further
production, according to treasury of
ficials. I t was said the congestion was
costing lb« nation “millions a day”
through under-production.
Wholesalers and retailers alike are
Buffering through inability to obtain
delivery of good, railroad men said.
Domestic beans are an excellent sub
stitute for potatoes and meat, and with
the warm weather coming on, being
rich in protein, the importance of their
food value and low coat ahold be more
fully realized by the average housewife.
This is especially important when the
housewife is having great d iffic lty in
trying to keep the grocery and meat
bill within the lim its of the fam ily in
come. Another advantage that beans
have over tbe ordinary edible ia that
they can be purchased in quantity and
put away in the pantry without any
possibility of deterioiation. Every
housewife should avail herself of the
present low price and put in a supply
against a rise in price later in the sea
son.
■ Beans are healthful, nutritious and
of high food value.
A comparison' of
the nutritive value of other staple foods
shows one pound of beans at the aver
age price of 10 cents to the following:
1 pound beans at 10 cents
lOcenta
5.1 pounds potatoes at 9 cents per lb
46 cents
1.6 pounds sirloin steak at 40 cents per
lb. 64 cents. 20.8 eggs a t 50 cents a
dozen 87 cents 5 pints of m ilk at 8
cents a pint. 40 cents 1 pound ice at
18 cents.
The aveage housewife thinks of beans
only a9 something to be boiled or baked.
This is a wrong idea. Beans may be
prepared in many d iffe re n t and palat
able waya. They are alao one of tbe
few foods that may be cooked, set aside
and afterwards reheated and served.
In fact, tbe second cooking improves
them wonderfully.
One of the moat economical ways to
prepare beans is to cook them a t tbe
same time tbe Saturday or Sunday
roast is being prepared, or when bak
ing bread, cake or pastry, m aking the
same heat do doable dnty. Beans do
not necessarily have to be eaten tbe
same day, but can be put away in the
ice chest or cooler and served either as
tbe main dish or w ith the " le f t overs”
from the preceding day.
Those house
wives who have a fireless cooker w ill
find it a very simple and convenient
matter to prepare beans w ith practic
ally no trouble or fuss. Tbe high coat
of potatoea and other starchy foods, so
necessary to human consumption, can
be met by substituting more domestic
beans, thereby keeping the grocery bill
within tbe lim it allowed by the fam ily
income. Eat Beans.
