feet long, these lath trays are most
economical of material when made four
feet in length.
Better but more expensive trays can
be made by substituting galvanized
wire screen, one-eighth. or one-fourth
inch mesh, for the laths, in which case
the most economical size would depend
upon the width of the wire screen OBJ
tainable.
A cheap and very satisfactory drier
for use over the kitchen stove can be
made by any handy boy or carpenter
from a small amount of small-mesh
galvanized-wire netting and number
of laths or strips of wood about one
half inch thick and two inches wide.
The screen may be tackled directly on
the framework to make the drying
shelves, or the framework can be made
to support separate trays. BY using
two laths nailed together, the frame
work can be stiffened and larger trays
made if desirable. This form or any
of the lighter makes of driers can be
suspended from the ceiling. over the
kitchen range or over the Oil, gasoline
or gas stove, and it will utilize the hot

three-inch space in the back. The
other trays alternate in the same way.
This permits the current Of heated air
to pass around and over the trays. A
ventilator opening, about two inches
wide and six inches long, is left in the
top of the drier, through which the
moist air may pass away.
This principle Of construction is fol-
lowed so that currents Of air will pass
over the product as well as up through
it, gathering the moisture and passing
away. The movement of the current
of air induces a more rapid and uni
form drying. The upper trays can
be shifted to the lower part of the
drier, and the lower trays to the upper
part as drying proceeds, so as to dry
the products uniformly throughout.
Another Home Drier.
Still another home drier is the cook
stove oven. Bits of food, 1eftovers,
especially sweet corn, can be dried on
plates in a very slow oven or on the
back Of the cookstove and saved for
winter use. If the oven is very warm,
the door should be left ajar and the
temperature of theCoven often noted.
Trays for use in the oven can be made
from convenient-sized galvanized
wire screen by bending up the edges
one or two inches.
Cookstove driers on the market are
of two types. One type consists of a
series Of trays upon which the material
to be dried is spread. These trays are
placed in a framework one above the
other, forming a compartment through
which the heated air rises, carrying off
the moisture. The second type con-
sists of shallow fiat metal box filed
with water and designed so that one
end can rest on the back Of the stove

- Use Of Electric Fan.
The use,.of an electric fan in facili-

already own fam 1t has been found
that many sliced vegetables and fruits
placed in long trays three by one foot
and stacked ip two tiers, end to end,
before an electric fan can be dried to
the requisite dryness within twenty
four hours. Some require much less
time. For instance, sliced string beans
and shredded sweet potatoes will dry
before "a fan running at moderate
speed within a few hours. In many
cities the electric fan will cost not
more than one-fourth of cent an hour
to run. The fan should be placed close
to the stack of trays, and they should
not be filled so full that the air cannot
pass freely through them. The fan
method has a marked advantage in
that the product keeps cool owing to
evaporation while 1t is being dried,
thus tending to retain the color and
eliminate sDoila0a

Restricting the Press.

The following editorial, reproduc-
ed from the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, expresses what every editor
OF an American newspaper should
feel and be alert to guard az the con-
stitutional liberty Of the press. The
misguided author of the corrupt
practices bill failed to discriminate
that the knights of the quill are
composed of men who do more to
conserve purity in political. social
and religious life than any other
class OF American citizens, with pos
sibly the exception of the clergy.
Every dignified newspaper in the
land will protest against having re-
strictions placed upon its freedom
by the reflection that it might be-
come an agent in corrupt practices
political or otherwise. The Com
mercial Appeal in its editorial print
ed below, shows conclusivcly that
newspapers. along with other agen-
cies, are amenable to the law for
scandalous, libelous or fraudulent
publications:
The law itself shows the abso-
lutte ignorance Of the trainers of the
conduct OF newspaper. One Sec
tion forbids anyone from contribut-
ing political article in the paper
unless signed. Some large papers
buy editorials. A managing editor
may be Interested in a certain sub
ject; it might be political, scientific,
educational or medical. He knows
what he wants to secure. He knows
what end he wants to reach, but he
does not know the technique
Of the subject sufficiently we'll to
write shout it.. He employs an ex-
pert in that subject. He may use
the contribution in an impersonal
way, or he may use it as an editor
ial. The paper stands for it. The
paper is sponsor for it, and it is no
concern of the government or OF the
public who wrote il.
Often political or other stories
are written in newspaper office
which are compiled from date fur
nished by half dozen men. This
very fact shows how thoroughly out
Of understanding of newspapers are
the trainers of the proposed act.
A newspaper is in no sense a
ssc!Sc carrier. IL may exclude what
.yer e desires from its columns, and
IL may include in its columns any
thing y wishes, provided it is not
libel.us O 5candalous.
If the matter is fraudulent, there
is already way to protect the pub
lie and to punish the publisher"
Any attempt to abridge the con-
stitutional liberty guaranteed to the
American newspaper always results
in q detriment to the public. In
those states where the law Of libel is
particularly severe, you will usually
lind more graft than in the states
where the libel laws are liberal. In
these states where libel laws are
severe, you will find more incom-
petents. jackasses and blatherskites
in Office than in states where papers
ais limited only by laws that are
within the spirit of the constitution"
