THE food problem seems likely before long to be
greatly simplified by the opportunity of buying all
kinds of vegetables in practically fresh condition at
moderate prices throughout the winter. They will be
sold in dry state-that is to say, water free, but
preserved in, such way to retain all their original
palatability The housewife will purchase them not in
tins, but by the measure-put up usually perhaps in
pasteboard packages.
This prospect is afforded through means newly dis
covered which has proved highly successful, whereby
fresh vegetables and some fruits such raspberres
dried without the of heat. Hitherto all processes
employed for such purposes have depended upon high
temperatures, which radically alter the flavor of the
products. Under the improved method, the green peas
string beans cabbages carrots onions other garden
truck, placed on small in tunnel, through
which current of moderately warm dry air is kept
continually passing. The air literally sucks the mois
ture out of the vegetables until they reduced to
condition of absolute deSiccation.
How thorough the desiccation is may be judged from
the fact that pound of spinach which has undergone
this treatment equivalent to eighteen pounds of fresh
spinach. pound of carrots represents ten pounds of
the fresh article pound of cabbage is equal to fifteen
pounds of the fresh. pound of onions is equivalent

By Rene Bache

to fourteen pounds of fresh onions. pound of pota-
toes represents seven pounds of newydug tubers and
of fresh soup green's.
There is why vegetables treated in this way
should undergo the slightest alteration in respect Of
that they will keep for indefinite period. When they
wanted for use all that is necessary is to pour cold
water over them and allow them to remain thus inn
mersed for three hours, the end of which time they
will have absorbed a normal percentage of water, and
will be ready for use like fresh vegetables They in
truth fresh vegetables, held for the time being in
water free state
One should explain. however, that in order that the
desccaton shall be made as perfect possible the
more bulky vegetables such potatoes and cabbages
must be sliced or shredded Such process does not
render them less appetizing though it adds somewhat
to the cost of production. There however
why garden truck thus treated should be very expen
sve, inasmuch as, for commercial purposes all such
material would be purchased at the of the year

when it is cheapest So extremely simple the
adopted that not unlikely that in the future
method will be devised whereby the housewife buying
large stock of different kinds of vegetables when they
cheapest herself put them through the requisite
process thus laying in supplies for the whole winter and
saving herself great deal of money. For centuries
this very thing has been done on limited scale and
in crude way, for the preservation in desiccaed
state, of apples, peaches and certain other things
Mrs. Rorer an authority such Subjects reveals
what she calls AN old family secret in describing
method whereby green the cob may be kept far
into the winter retaining its freshness and flavor. All
that necessary is to dip it into boiling water and dry
it in where there free circulation of air The
clever housewife may thus have sweet her Christ
dinner for surprise dish. Carefully sheled peas
and BEANS says Mrs. Rorer may be treated in the
way with equal success
This represents merely primitive way of
plshng desiccation by air. But, when the process is
scientifically performed the boiling water may be elm

HAMMOND AND WHITING

High Schools to Have First
Football Game of the
Season.

Repeated requests from captain
coach and football men for practice
games resulted in the Hammond, Whit
ing contest to be played at Roberts
dals tomorrow afternoon. The in
vasion will herald the 1910 season in
Lake county.
New rules. new plays and new uni
forms will be given the first actual
test, and it is expected that new de-
fects will also be detected. Universal
confidence in their ability is shown by
the conversation of players today, and
it Is not probable that this confidence
will last after tomorrow's game.
The squad of IS. together with a
large part of the school body, will
leave for Whiting upon the 1880 Lake
Sore train. Captain Graves has an
nounced the following lineup: Full
