McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA. Thursday, March 6, 1941 5 l Soy Beans And Soy Bean Products JLm Summit Food Interests Many In This State. Columbia, March 4. — “The Treater use of Soy Beans and Soy Fean products as human . food seems to be interesting a large ) i umber of people in this State”, REBUILT POWER UNITS For saw mills and grist mills. At money saving prices —installed for you —ready to operate. Georgia Truck A Eqp. Co. 9th and Reynolds Street, Augusta, Georgia. said J. Roy Jones, Commissioner of Agriculture today. “This interest is indicated l the numerous letters coming 1 the Department,” continued M Jones, “one has just been received from Mrs. J. C. Ball of Summer ville, who declares they are excel lent meat substitutes.” Mrs. Ball thinks more peopl should know about soy beans and their products, because they can be produced so easily. In addition to the edible bean itself, products such as “Soya Flour”, Soy Flour and Soy bean flour also “Soy grits” and others are now on the market. “Soy Beans seem,” said Mr. Jones, “to be playing an impor tant part in the war, and the fol lowing item quoted from the Lon don Times tells its own story.” “Since the war began there have been frequent reference in the Press to soy beans, mainly in re lation to the so-called ‘Nazi food pills.'

The Germans are facing this weakness by de veloping from the Soya a flour called Edelsoja, which because of its high content of good proteins (40 to 45%) and of fats and car bohydrates, can completely re place meat or the other animal foodstuffs. This flour is intro duced in the traditional prepared foods and culinary dishes (soups, sausages, bread, biscuits, maca roni) in such a way that the taste is unimpaired, the protein content greatly increased, and through a daily arrangement of diet the in dividual receives, without reliance on meat, the minimum ration of proteins, fats and mineral salts indispensable for human nutrition. The low cost of the flour is an added advantage. One pound costs only as much as 4 oz. to 5 oz. of meat, while the nutritive value of that pound is equal to 2 1-2 lbs. of meat. The flour will keep for two or three years without turn ing rancid or otherwise deteriora ting, and both it and the beans from which it is made are more easily transportable and storable than animal food. The flour and prepared products are the ideal military foods and are now an established part of the German Army’s war-time diet. Not only are they suitable for men doing regular muscular work, but they are proved pre- ventatives against rheumatism and trench fever.” “Soy flour,” Mr. Jones said, “is now being used ih this country by the • confectionary industry in making certain kinds of candies. Many dietary foods contain soy bean flour and the baking indus try is using these products in bread, rolls, cakes, pies, doughnuts, macaroni, noodles, spaghetti, all kinds of muffins, biscuits and other products. The flour has now found a substantial use in the manufacture of sausage, meat loaves, and in stews, hash soups and chili con carne.” The State Department of Ag riculture has for some time been interested in seeing the oil mills of the State crush soy beans and develop some of the by-products, the mills seem to be willing but declare beans not yet available in sufficient quantities. One of the difficulties farmers mention as to why they do not grow more soy beans to sell as grain, is because of AAA ruling, declaring Soy Beans when harvested mechanically for crushing is a “soil depleting crn”. “Perhaps,” Mr. Jones conduc’ d, if this restriction were rerr d or modified, farmers would • V ”U sufficient soy beans to supply - uch an industry in South Carolin...' f xi March Farm Calendar materials and mix fertilizer so that plants will be supplied with food most needed. 4.

C. /I Ag ARTIE MSGOVESN Take Care Of Your Body Most of us are apt to think of our bodies as though each separate organ carried on its work entirely independent of all the other or gans. We associate the lungs with breathing, the heart with pumping blood through veins and arteries, the stomach with digestion of food, and so on. Actually, all parts of the human mechanism, the internal or gans, the muscles, bones and nerves, are so dependent upon each other that anything affecting one is com municated to the whole. Abuse your stomach and the intestines, liver, idneys—yes, even the heart—are made to suffer. You cannot breathe impure air and confine he damage solely to the lungs, strain the muscles of the back with *cmQ violent effort and you place m equal strain on , various other nuscles. It is easy, therefore, to see why werything we do to* maintain ^or- ial health must be done fpr the .ntire system. When we exercise,' KELYINATOR New and used electric refrigerators.

C. it is not for development of exterior muscles, but for efficient function ing of the internal working parts. When we rest, it is to restore ner vous as well as physical energy. When we eat, we select foods to re place worn out tissue, build bone, blood and muscles; not merely to satisfy the appetite. So it goes with every bodily function. Keeping fit is the art of keeping all the members of the body work ing smoothly. Sometimes it in volves complete reformation in living habits. More frequently, it is only one or two failings that must be conquered. Faulty diet, improper posture, too little exer cise, insufficient fresh air, irregu larity, over-indulgence of any sort—all these affect the system as a unit, and not as we may think, in any one particular spot. Comfort And Health- New Shoes Or Worn? It has been estimated that most illness can be traced to one’s feet, especially of late years when we walk very little and wear so many new shoes ... instead of having our well broken-in and worn ones repaired. Don’t swap that hard-earned comfort in your worn shoes for pinching pain and corn-growing new shoes. Let us repair that worn pair like new and you retain the broken-in comfort, insuring your health. No one will know they’ve been repaired but you, your feet and us. # Notice W. S. Arrington Shoe Shop Main St.McCormick, S. C.
