Dry beans are plentiful, offer vari ety in navy beans, baby limas and pintos. Takes up little freez er space. Needs only thawing, thinning with added liquid and maybe additional seasoning for serving. Make the Puree. Sort and wash two cups of beans. Boil beans two minutes in five cups of water.

A cream bean soup may be made by adding milk and a little fat and flour. Or add meat stock or tomato juice as the liquid instead of milk. Chop ped onion may be added for ex tra flavor and bits of cooked ba con may be crumbled over the top. Some people like steaming bean soup with grated cheese on top, while still others prefer a generous slice of lemon. : Care and Use Of Swiss Cheese Swiss cheese when eaten "as is" tastes best when almost at room temperature. Its flavor is then cleanest and its texture at its softest. Therefore, remove the cheese from the refrigerator some time before the meal, but do not unwrap until shortly be fore you start eating. You get more enjoyment from thick, chunky slices than from thin ones. Swiss cheese keeps best in the piece. Wrap it in waxed paper, then roll tightly in kitchen tow el. Tightness makes the paper seal the cheese surfaces and helps prevent dehydration and mold. Keep refrigerated, away from odorous food. In grated or shredded form, Swiss cheese gives zest to soup, gravy, sauce, salad dressing, au gratin and macaroni dishes. Mixed with butter, it is a per fect base for canape mixtures. A half cup grated Swiss added to one cup white sauce is wonder ful over vegetables. FALL FOR HIM Albion, N. Y.
