Dr. Frank Crane Says; Mr. John K. Amicus, Yonkers millionaire, recently Jtuul that ninety per rent i,f the graduates of ColumbiM, which was graduating' an enormous class, would not he successful in the various professions. He said that these people ought to he e<lu< ated lather for some hard work. Most of the people who engage in the vaiious professions are failures and they had better be sign painters or farmers. This is an old criticism which has often been leveled at the colleges. There is some truth in it. Ur^fortunately almost all institutions of learning are engaged in the business of turning out professional men, that is, men for white collar jobs. Too many mothers regard the school as useful for their children in enabling them to escape froom the necessity ijj, manual labor. There is nothing inconsistent in earning one's own living by one's own labor and at the same time being an educated man. To have an education or a broad outloook upon life does not necessarily mean that we are to make a living by it. St. Paul mended sails and Jesus was a carpenter. It was the custom among the ancient Jews to teach all their children some handicraft so that all would be equipped to support themselves in an emergency. Among a vast number of people only a certain proportion are equipped to make their living by their brainwoik. Just how this proportion is to he determined no one knows. It is ultimately done by nature, just as nature determines the relative number of the two sexes. Doubtless many people are following a professional life and gaining a meager livlihood who would be better ofT working with their hands. And perhaps some manual laborers cou'd make a success as professionals. As a rule, however, these things take care of themselves. Every man finds his own level. Some are equipped by nature foi* manual work and some are properly endowed -for intellectual work. The college should be able to train both classes. It should not aim to make every man a teacher or professor, or even a doctor or lawyer. It should aim to give him that education which would be most satisfactory groundwork fur any kind of life, whether that of a farmer, a storekeeper or a doctor.

They conn* from the sumo plant fttmlfy, and sup ply about tlie sutne food materials. Nsiturally you are familiar with the white navy bean and dried lima beans. Ited kidney beans are \n*y good, too, and tiiere are many otiiers. Home of them well known locally in various parts of the country, J>ut little used elsewhere. There is tlie pinto, or frljol bean, mottled brown and white, abundant In the Southwest the black or turtle soun bean, the t>.i_*>?? let or French limit, and the soj bean, which was introduced from the orient. The cowpea is used in large quant Ities in the South, and is of the same character as these other beans, though a little different In flavor. These Inst two require longer preliminary soaking and longer cooking than the other varieties, so peHiaps one of tlie first foitr or five should be chosen For a family of six half a pint of the dried beans will be sufficient for tlie soup. They should be soaked overnight In four times as much water, or one quart, and then cooked in the same water until very soft. If you like tiie flavor of onion, cook one or two slices with the beans. If. you' have a tireless cooker you will find | it excellent for cooking them. Mush 1 the beans through a sieve when they are done, and add water and milk, or stork?enough to make up a full quart Of course you may prepare ? double quantity of beitn soup and serve it twice if you like, suggests the Fritted States Department of Agriculture. All bean or pea soups should have u little flour added to them as a hinder to prevent the thlek part from settling to tlie bottom. Mix a tablespoonful of butter with a tablespoonful of flop-. Add a little of the hot soup, and stir until it Is smooth. Then add tlie remaining soup and cult and pepper to 1 reason. Cook in the double boiler about ten minutes. Celery or any , other Roup vegetables you wish may be cooked with the Roup. They should be cut up in small pieces. A table spoonful of chopped parsley sprinkled over (be soup at the last minute Is an agreeable addition. A pinch of mustard and a little lemon Juice are good when black beans are used. Acid Solution Will Keep Kettle Free of Depositt The hard deposits In tea kettles consist of calcium sulphate, commonly | called gypsum, carbonate of calcium and magnesium, known as dolomltlc limestone or a mixture of these two substances together with small amounts of silica and oxides of Iron and alumlnn. If the deposit Is not too hftavy, it can be removed with n hot solution of vinegar or commercial muriatic acid one pnrt of which has been diluted with five parts of water. The acid solution should he handled carefully as it Is corrosive. Frequent appllca thue* will keep the kettle free from deposits.

Too Many Managers. The law now requires two sets 0i election commissioners in each county, and two sets of managers at every precinct, for the general election. We see no reason why this should not be ^hanged so as to provide for only one set of commissioners jirid managers. With the small vote t-ast in general elections, one set eotfjd easily do the work. There are now required three boxes at each precinct, and three sets of ballots. One box and ballots are for candidates for the Umted States senate, members of Congress^ and presidential electors. Another ballot contains the names of candidates for state and county offices, and there is a box for these. There is another box for con- /j stitutional amendments. One set of A managers has charge of the last two boxes, while there is a separate set of managers for the'box for United States officers. One set of managers could easily manage all three of the boxes, and count the ballots. The names could all be put on one ballot and in one box, if that would be more convenient. Many people are under the impression that the United States government has something to do with the election for membrs of congress and presidential electors; but it does not. The elections are entirely in the hands of the states. The governor appoints all the commissioners of election, and they appoint the managers. The election is held under state laws, and is paid for by the state. To combine the elections under one set of commissioners and managers would be a big, savTng in cost to the state, and would not take so many people away from their work at a busy time to serve ae managers at a dollar a day. The publishing of one election notice, instead of two, in. the papers, in every county in the state, would be a big saving.?Bennettsville Advocate.
