DRIED FRUITS AN ECONOMICAL AND
 VALUABLE DIET
Farmers Wife May Add to Variety of Daily Fare by Using Them Alone or in Cakes, Puddings and
 Confecfaonery.

Washington. Feb. 4--Fresh fruits are divided into two classes, flavor fruits'' and :. food fruits, according as they are valued for their flavor or as food, according to the Oh7ce of Nutrition Investigations for the United States Department of Agriculture Those that are 80 per cent. or more water fall under the first classification (apples, pears, peaches and most of our common fruits), while those con- taining less fall under the latter (ba- nanas, grapes, and figs). The food value of pound of dried fruit is. of course, much greater than that of a pc,ind of fresh fruit. A pound of the lat CT will. yield an average of about 6 ounces dried, but the amount of wa ter in the original fruit is no guide to the food value of the dried product.
 The main change which takes place during drying is the loss of water, but other changes also occur. Very often the right degree of heat produces changes not unlike those which occur during natural rfpening on the plant.

of the yearly output Accordins to a very rough estimate, each person iu this country consumes on an average 5 or pounds of dried fruit a year.
 The value of the product rose from between four and five millions to ever twenty millions in 10 years. Tho average wholesale price however haa not advanced with the increased de- rnand; on the contrary, it has dropped from about 1-2 cents to about 1-2 cents per pound
 Dried fruits are especially uselul when the supply of fresh fruits is hr1- tied or where storage space for Ire8l fruits is lacking. Besides being used alone, they may be mixed into cakes. puddings, confectionery, and other dishes They afford a nutritious and economical way of securing a variety the housewife.

Tn some cases the crude fiber which forms the basis of the plant structure is reduced in amount or softened. Much of the starch is changed to some. form of sugar. The change in flavor is due partly to the proportionate in crease of sugar from loss of water and to absolute increase from chemi- cal changes.
 TO deterRine which of two fruits is more economical, not only must the amount of bodily fuel that makes for energy and protein (muscle-buf1ding materially pound of each would sup ply. One must also consider what expense is required to prepare each for tn cable. Grapes commonly cost less a pound than raisins, but given sum spent for grapes will buy a small CT amount of nutritive material, since the proportion of water is much high CT than in the raisins.
 On the other hand, Iow-priced fresh fruit is sometimes as economical as a somewhat cheaper dried fruit, since the latter would require sugar and fuel to make it ready for the table.
 Attention should also be directed to the extent of indible material. Dried Fruits Reasonable in Price As
 Compared With Other Foodstuffs.
 Numerous studies made Of nutritive values by the Office of Experiment CLAJlO4S nave SAOWA L116L 0ElSO may be termed an economical article of diet. Fruit products in general contain little protein, but as sources of energy, derived almost entirely from their sugar, dried fruits ar deecidedly keheaper than meats, and compare fa- forably with dairy products. They are, however, more expensive than ce- reals and starchy vegetables, such as dried beans and potatoes
 Under no circumstances should fresh and dried fruits be thought a luxury. since they supply the needed nutritive material as an integral part of the diet, besides adding to the at tractiveness of the daily fare. If they are to be eaten raw, brands made and marketed in a cleanly way should be obtained.
 The amount of dried fruit produced in the United States increased 575 per cent. between 1899 and 1909. Cali fornia produces more than four fiftIas

The German cavalry have been I'M
able to lift the pressure on the Ger
man lines in the vicinity of Ypres and

force the main German positions at
this particular point to the eastward.
This particular manoeuvre, however,
is of necessity very slow because Of
the strongly fortified positions of the
Germans. It should take three or
four days to complete the action.
Meanwhile the allies continue their
advance against the center, where
the Germans were forced to abandon
many of their first-line trenches be-
cause of the impOssibility of drain

TRAINS CONVERTED INTO Gagged ZOOS
AS Mr.. CITYMAN HES FOR COUNTRY

The railroad companies make no
objection to the presence of the pets
on the trains. because their owners
usually have them so securely packed
away that they cause no trouble of
any kind. Large dogs usually are
taken into the baggage cars.
I'VE expect to see the animals at
this time every year" Pennsylva-
MIA empIoye at the Market street sta
ton said today. "A few years ago
city people when going to the coun-
try used to pack their pets into all
kinds of home made crates and boxes.
These made the cars look like freight
yards. The practise of taking the
family dog or cat away on q, vacation
has grown so in the last few years
that manufacturers of trunks and
bags have awakened to it, and are
making temporary homes for the ami
mails to be used while they are on
trains Some of the dog, cat and
bird cases we see here every day are
most elaborate, and evidently cost
great deal of money. The animals
usually are hidden from sight but get
plenty of air and light in the cases.
They are not cruelty used in being
taken away in trunks, baskets or
satchels. but on the contrary seem to
relish the experience.
The present rush will continue to
about the middle of July. At least it
always has in the past. After that
