PROTEIN IN WARTIME MEALS Every homemaker likes to plan her dinner menu around a "main dish" and for this purpose dried le gumes of one kind or another could be used more frequently. These vegetables, so typically American are all very rich in protein. Al though they can not entirely take the place of the protein of meat, fish, eggs, milk and cheese, they can serve as a valuable protein source in these war days. Most dried legumes, kidney beans, lima beans, split peas, lentils, are simi lar in food value and any one of the varieties may be chosen for the hearty dish of the main meal of tlie day. Soybeans, less well known but coming into more general use, are in a class by themselves among the dried legumes. They are far superior as a source of protein. They also furnish much larger amountts of the B-vitamins, but sightly less iron. And a bit of news for those watching the "weight", the soybean has a low carbohydrate count, only about one-half the amount found in other dry beans. One thing to- re member, for good results prepare according to direction. So make note of this can be made into hearty soups and appetizing main dishes and when combined with milk or cheese make dishes that measure up in food value and appetite appeal SCALLOPED LIMA BEANS and returned Tuesday with Mr. Legumes and Mrs. Frank Wilkinson who spent several days in the city.

The overall cost-of-living went up another 4 points now stands 23 above 1940. 1 I? I mm 1940 I94I mi I? BUT ELECTRICITY kept on going down in price. In 1943, we received an average of only 2.03 cents a kilowatt-hour for residential service the low est in our history. I'M THE LITTLE GUY Ht RIGHT! . H Iff m ic v 19 LESS THAN 1940. That is how our 1943 aver age household rate compared with the pre-war figure. While other prices were going up, the price of electricity went down! 44 LESS than the national average! Our average household rate is just about half the U.S. na tional average. PP&L has been in the front ranks of the low-rate parade for years. OUR TAXES IN 1943 reached an all-time high of $1,313,000. We paid back to the public, in the form of taxes, almost as much as was paid to all the men and women who have invested their money in the development of this business. THIS $1,313,000 tax bill was more than one-third greater than we were called upon to pay in 1940 1 which makes the 19 drop in the average price of electricity all the more significant. We're proud of the fact that in 1943 PP&L met fully the electric service needs of our 91,365 customers in the two great states of Washington and Oregon. We're proud of the 743 men and women of the PP&L organiza tion who managed to keep your electric service running smooth ly and dependably throughout 1943 in spite of wartime problems. We're proud of the 112 PP&L men and women who are away in the service of their country and we pledge ourselves to keep right on working and fighting to preserve for them at home the freedom and opportunity they are fighting for overseas. Pacific U NCLE SAM GOT $726,000, or more than 55 , of these taxes. This money, along with the Federal taxes paid by you and your neighbors, goes to help meet the urgent needs of a nation at war. 17'4 CENTS out of every dollar we take in now goes for taxes yet we're selling electricity at the lowest price in the 33 years we've been build ing up this business enterprise. PP&L's low rates were not achieved at public expense! Light Company Your Business-Managed Power System REMEMBER any watt in war Is a crimt. Even though electricity Is cheap, use it wisely.
