ABOUT DRIED FRUITS RIED FRUITS are con- centrated foods. They contain all the food value of fresh fruits and should be largely used at this season of the year, when even apples are becoming scarce. Dried fruits should be soaked several hours before cooking in order to restore the water lost in drying. Wash well before soaking, ‘hen cook in the water in which they have been soaking. Add just enough sugar to dried fruits to give the desired flavor without destroying the fruit flavor. If you purchase raisins, cur- rants, figs and dates in bulk do no, eat them until they have been sterilized by pour- ing boiling water over them or by steaming them. Of course if you buy these fruits in seaied packages this precau- tion will be unnecessary, Dried frults make excellent desserts. There is the prune ple, prune whip, apricot souf- fle, date pudding, raisin pie, peach tupioca pudding, peach whip, &e. A paste made of a mixture of various dricd fruits moist- ened with a little syrup makes a nice cake filling. Crushed nuts may be added If desired, This paste can be shaped {nto squares or balls and dipped in melted chocolate and you will have a tasty confection, Wives Who'd Retain Championed ARRIBD we retain their maiden names have found a new champion in Dr. Wil Westley Guth, President of Gou and # guest at the Hotel a. “It would do some men good to be known by their wives’ names instead their tags on their wives, said. “A woman's pame m “ more euphonious than her husband's—she may have achieved fame or success under her maiden name.
