James Wickersham was held at Ansley's
Hall, lditarOd, last Tuesday evening,
for the purpose OF organizing for the
coming campaign. Grant Murdoch
occupied the chair, and the meeting

is sure of reelection. it was decided to
take no chances, and the campaign will
be vigorously prosecuted, SO as to elm
mate any possible chance of failure.

WHAT ARE "DEHYDR0''
CANNED GOODS?

While Dehydro canned goods have
been OH the market for over four years.
yet it Is not generally known just what
they are, or how they are put up. and
for the benefit of those who do not know,
we wish to make the following explain
alton.
"Dehydro'' means "waterless" or
"the water taken OUT"
This is a new scientific but harmless
method Of putting up soups, fruits, and
vegetables by extracting the water
without heating or drying. Thus you
are not eating canned goods that have
been heated or warmed over the second
time.
This process does not employ the use
of chemicals of any kind, therefore the
goods must retain their color, flavor,
sweetness, volatile oils, and the very
things that give life and nutrition.
They are taken from the gardens and
"dehydrated" while they are still fresh;
placed in air-tight tins crisp and dry
and sealed before the least amount of
deterioration or decay can set in.
Therefore. there can be no purer
product in the world, and by extracting
the water, they are not only very light
in weight for shipping or carrying
on stampedes, but by the absence of
water it is impossible for these goods
to freeze in winter or to ferm9nt nd
spoil in summer. To prepare for eating
you have only to restore the water
which costs you nothing place, on
the back of the stove, allow TO come o
Il slow boil, simmer for fifteen to twenty
minutes, then place on the front Of the
stove and cook them in the same manner
as the fresh and they are ready to serve.
They do not compare with the old
style so-called evaporated, or dried, or
canned fruits and vegetables, for de
hydro" products do not have to be soaked
overnight unless you want to do so.
The ''dehydro" tins are all made with
friction tops or lids, so that you can use
portion out of the tins, replace tn 9
cover tightly, and the balance of the
contents may be kept Indefinitely, with
out the least fear of ptomaine poisoning.
This cannot be done with any other
goods on the market.
For the convenience of those who are
not acquainted with "Dehydro" prod
ucts We herewith publish list of tn e
goods that are put up by the American
Dehydrating Co of Waukesha, Wis:
