y DRIED PUMPKIN.

Dried pumpkin may be had for
pies all summer. On farm lives a
culinary genius who, in July, takes
delicious pumpkin pies to picnics.
This is how she dries the pumpkin,
the method being original:
Cut a pumpkin INTO pieces and re-
move the rlnd and seeds. Put in a
pot with enough water to keep it
from burning. Stew until dry and
thoroughly done; this will take three
or four hours. Press the pulp
through a colander and form into
thin cakes the size of shallow
cookie. Place these cakes in shallow
pans and dry for several days above
the stove. They will then look like
small dried bits of old leather and
will keep indefinitely. A stone
crock in dry place is best for them.
One medium sized pumpkins will
make enough dried pumpkin for
about seven pies. The cakes are
soaked in boiling water over night,
then beaten and used as fresh pump
kin.

smiled family and reached out

So long as the belief prevailed that
poverty was merely symptom of in

vidual to face his penalty, tempering
the rigor of sins discipline the while
with the mercy of penitentiaries, re-
tormatories, jails, poor-houses, charity
and training-school hospitals. But one
