It needn’t be encouraged any more than a similar and more highly developed craving, that is, a craving for alcohol, should be encouraged. It is found usually in two classes of people, those whose diet lacks something vital and those who have pampered themselves so their stom- achs rule them.

I don't know the origin of it, mor do I know the name of it. We used to refer to it as those beans! I be- lieve that it was handed to us by a man who runs a restaurant in Bostorn. He occasionally dropped in on this camp and exercised his culinary art to advantage. It Is a good dish and has nourished many of Boston's besi. newspaper men. : Rub a_frying pan with a clove of garlic. Into the frying pan empty a large can of baked kidney beans. Cut two onions the size of junior league base balls into thin slices and put them in with the beans. Add two tablespoons of powdered mustard and Cover the whole with boiling water and cook gently over a slow fire for forty minutes, stirring occasionally so that none of the mixture adheres to the frying pan. This js best served in soup plates, with a large dish of buttered toast on the side, and the final touch is added by putting about three table- spoonfuls of hot stewed tomatoes on top of each portion of beans. This mixture is guaranteed to nour- ish the invalid, solace the millionaire, refresh the brainworker, satisfy the laborer, rejuvenate the old, strength. en the young and eliminate all sec- tional arguments as to the proper method of cooking beans.
