Revolutionary Russia has recovered from her debauch of Aemocracy, and her reorganized armies, turning on the Germans in Galicia, have resumed Bruasilofi’s great drive of last year that treachery and treason stopped. 8 That starving, strangling, silent scheme of horrid war called the blockade is now, with America s help, drawing the noose tighter around Germany by ontting off supplies to neighboring neuw- trals through which necessitios have slyly run, To-day the gar rote is being made ready in Washington for an embargo execution, This is not the end of war, but it is the beginning of the end.

It should permit a free circulation of air, to allow the rapid re moval of the air after it has passed over the vegetables and absorbed 8, It should provide for protection of the food product against dust, 4 It should protect the materials from being moistened by steam, ‘The principles, methods and equipment will be described in the follow: Reasons for Drying Fruits and Vegetables. Tho drying of vegetables may seem strange to the present generation but to our grandmothers it was no novelty, Many housewives even to- day prefer dried sweet corn to the product canned by the old method, and say also that dried pumpkin and squash are excellent for pie making Snap beans often are strung on threads and dried above the stove. Cherries and raspberries still are j dried on bits of bark for use instead of raisins, In fect, many of the everyday foodstuffs already are dried at some stage of their preparation for market. The common dried fruits, such as prunes, raisins, figs, dates and ap- ples, are staples in the world’s mar- ket, while beans and other legumes, | tea, coffee, macaroni, &e, are dried and Vegetables in Her Home Kitchen - either in the sun and wind or in spe- cially constructed dryers. Even though the drying of fruits and vegetables as practised a few decades ago on many farms has be e practically a “lost art,” the present food situation doubtless will cause a marked stimulation of dry- ing as a means of conserving the food supply. This country 1s producing large quantities of perishable foods this year, which should be saved for stor- age, canned or properly dried. Dry- ing is not @ panacea for the entire waste evil, nor should It take the place of storing or canning to any considerable extent where proper storage facilities are available or tin cans or glass jars can be obtained readily and at @ low cost. ‘The advantages of drying vegeta- bles are not so apparent for the farm home they are for the town or clty household, which has no roof, cellar or other place in which to store fresh vegetables. For the farmer's wife the new methods of canning probably will be way of conserving portions of the food which| better than sun drying, which re- quires a somewhat longer time. Bui the shorter methods of drying are available, and the dried product holds an advantage In that usually it re- res fewer jars, cans or other con- jtainers than do canned fruits or | Vegetables; also dried material can be stored in receptacles which canaot be used for canning. Then, too, canned fruits and vege- tables freeze and cannot be shipped 4s conveniently in winter, Dried veg- etables can be packed and shipped with a minimum of risk. To the housewife in the town the drying of Vegetables and fruits pre- sents special advantages. During the season, when the market {s oversup- plied locally and prices are low, she can lay in a@ stock, dry it, and put it away for a winter's emergency without {t taking up tuch of the needed small storage space in her home, If she is accustomed to canning her fruits and vegetables and finds she cannot secure jars or tin cans, she can easily resort to drying. With simple and inexpensive factll- tles all housewives can save quantl- ties of food which are too small con- venlently to can. A few sweet pota- toes or apples or peas, or even & sin- gle turnip, can be dried and saved. Even when very small quantities are dried at a time, a quantity sufficient | for a meal will soon be secured. Small lots of several dried vege- tables, such as cabbage, carrots, tur- nips, potatoes and onions, can be combined to advantage for soups and | stews, nnitversary il EAR ADMIRAL SIR CHRIS- TOPHDR CRADOCK was one of the first British seamen of high rank to die heroically for his country during this war, He lost bis lite when the Good Hope was sunk by the Germans off the coast of Peru in the fail of 1914, He was born July 3, 1862, and was a Neutenant at twenty-eight and a Rear Admiral at forty-eight.
