Dried vegetables contain a great
deal Of nourishment, and II they are
properly prepared they can be made
into very palatable dishes. They
should always be soaked overnight,
rinsed. brought to the boiling point,
and then simmered slowly with q
quarter OF a teaspoonful of baking
soda in the water.
When the fresh vegetables are
scarce the good housekeeper can give
greater variety to her table for a
smaller cost If she uses literally Of
the dried vegetables as we'll as of the
timed. Baked beans, porridge and
succotash are old standbys that no
one has need to be reminded of-but
with these time-honored dishes many
households seem to end their use Of
dried vegetables.
IL you live in locality where you
can get dried sweet corn, or II you

for this is far superior to the timed
variety. Canned corn is one of the
vegetables whose flavor is entirely
changed by being canned. Dried corn
is delicious made into corn mock
oysters and can hardly be told from
the fresh vegetable.
Soak the corn overnight and in the
morning boil 1t up with a pinch of
DaKlng soda Press out the pulp with
a sharp knife and to a pint of the
pulp add two beaten eggs, one tea
spoonful Of butter and salt, dash,of
pepper, and enough flour to bind. Roll
into small cakes and saute them in
butter, or drop from a spoon into hot
rat to make fritters. These may, of
course. be made Of canned corn also,
and they are sometimes improved by
adding little milk and sugar.
Dried beans and peas make very
good purees, but care must be taken
to soak and boil them for a sufficiently
long time. When they have boiled
until they are very tender mash them
through a sieve. Place again in the
saucepan and stir into them enough
not milk, pepper and salt to season
them, add butter and a little sugar
before serving.
A very good hash of potatoes and
lentils is made from one and one-half

full of milk and one teaspoonful of

We were to go right through that most
famous pass in history, the Cilicjan
gates, over the crest of the Taurus
mountains. on to the high plateau Of
eastern Asia Minor, writes Basil
Mathews In the Culver.
Alexander the Great poured his
hosts onto the plain of Cilicia and
into Syria through this narrow, pro-
found gorge. which could be barred
by the single gate of an ordinary
castle. Cyrus and his 10000 Greeks
plunged from the great road on the
Anatolian plateau which lies beyond
the snow ridge of Taurus down on to
these plains. Later the Roman legions
Numbered down this road to Tarsus.

itself as though to bar the way. The

the uprising of the sharp conical mass
of some hill-like that of the Seven

Some peaks were bare, with the stark,

to the dizzy peaks with pines which

Ancient hollow sycamores. as gray as
the rocks in which they were rooted,
thrust their gnarled trunks over the
stream.
Contrasted with the valleys and
plain behind US, 1t was as though we
had swept from the alluring har-

the wild and crashing discords of q
Wagner overture-with all the STIR

white thrown up defiantly against the
blue OF the sky, gave a strange feel

this eerie pass against armies of Jim.
At last 1t looked as though the end
had come. The gray bulwark was
hurled in front of us, an unbroken.
impenetrable. unscalable mass. Sud-
denly a thin edge of light appeared;

there are few places suggesting SO
wonderfully the power of the simple

Passing out of their shadow. we

north and northwest, on a rise SO grad

was reached, 1t could barely, be dis

waters that flow north and south from
this point do not reach seas distaunt

Our road ran north and west, drop

Ahead lay the caravan road, along
