The vessel carried half a million dollars' worth of cargo. The plaintiffs allege that the vessel was unseaworthy, with her cargo improperly loaded..

The nutritive value of a remarkable bean known as the soya bean, which grows in Manchuria, was referred to by Dr'W. E. Stevens in the course of an address at New Brighton in connection with Empire CancelCampaign. He said that so valuable was the soya bean as a food that last year 500.000,000 bushels were grown in Manchuria and the Manchurian railways which previously had been run at a loss were now paying their way. From the bean it was possible to make milk as good as- cow's mill, and by different processes outre, and bread could be produced from the bean, and the plant itself was good as cattle fodder Doubtless expensive machinery would be required to extract the by-products from the bean, but he believed the time would come when instead of drinking enw’s milk and eating butter made from cow’s milk, people would only pnl these foods when produced from the soya bean.
