$700,000,000 Surplus for
Fiscal Year in Sight, Ac-
cording to Mellon.
ECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
S Mellon has officially admitted that
the largest reduction in the public debt
on record may be accomplished in the
present fiscal year ending June 30
next.
A surplus considerably in excess of
£500,000,000, representing the
ence between ordinary receipts and or
dinary expenditures, Is assured. Here-
tofore, while members of congress and
others have insisted that the half-
billion mark would be reached, Mr.
Mellon has been unwilling to boost his
estimate bevond the $383,000000 total
announced by the budget bureau last
December.

Recent research by
culture on the kind of protein con-

that the protein of meat is superior to
that of beans from the standpoint of
meeting the needs of the body. The
protein in meat is called “complete”
or “efficient” while that In beanx is
called “incomplete,” because it lacks
certain essential acids, The average
meal that Americans eat, however,
usually contains bread and other foods
that contain some kind of protein,
