COOKING DRIED STUFF
FIRELEss METHOD BEST FOR
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Homemade Cooker Is Easily Con-
structed ind Answers All Practi-
cal Purposes-lmportant Points
to Be Remembered.

The fireless method is the best way
to cook dried fruit and vegetables.
You need not buy fireless cooker for
the purpose unless you wish to. Make
one yourself. Simply get small dry
goods or soap box or large pail. Line
with asbestos paper and then stuT
tightly all around the top, bottom and
sides with layers of newspapers to the
depth of three or four inches. What
you must remember is that it must
be absolutely alright. Another thing
TO remember is that your receptacle
must be nearly full. If you cook
small quantity you must have a small
receptacle, as the fruit is not as like
ly to cool off before thoroughly done,
as 1t would If placed in a half filled
pail. Wash your fruit thoroughly
first, and to one pound Of same add
half pound of sugar; put water
enough in to cover by about one inch.
Boil seven minutes over a flame and
then as quickly as possible place ia
maiG 10 there about eight hours.
Place a cushion on top of the cooker
and weight that down with something
that is heavy When taken out one
will find the fruit will rival the best
preserves in appearance and flavor. in
no respect suggesting that usually
served or the insipid canned products.
Each shriveled piece will swell to it's
original size, unbroken, distended with
a juicy aromatic liquor, and charged
with the flavors which characterize
the fruit in its prime state Tapioca
and sage are delicious with these
fruit juices in making tempting des-
serts. Dried vegetables, such as lima
beans, peas, ETC., should be treated
in the same way and given about the
same length of time to cook. Canned
vegetables which have been bought
in the stores are also much improved
by this additional process. These fire.
less cookers are also excellent for do
ing home canning Of vegetables and
fruits. BY canning them in this way
the house Is kept cool, fuel is saved
and the housewife is free from the
fear of water boiling away Clean and
prepare the same as for any canning
process. Dip the Jars in boiling wa
ter, fill with vegetables or fruit, pour
in cold water until 1t overiicws the
Jar, dip the caps in boiling water,
place them on the jars, but do not
seal tightly; allow for expansion. Put
perforated rest in the bottom OF
your kettle, place the prepared jars
on the rest, fill the kettle with cold
water up to the necks of the jars.
Place the cover on the kettle, put on
the stove and boil Is minutes. At the
end of that time place at once into
the cooker and cover tightly. Allow
the jars to remain in the cooker from
two to three hours, then remove and
tighten the caps.

he knocked softly. Even in that noisy
spot she heard instantly. opening the
