Drying Solves the Problem

IN a final drive for food prsssrva-
tion drying 10 urged A. q cheap
and effective process. PraotI-
cally all fruits and vegetables can
be dried IN the home by very sim
pie means. A scarcity Of cans would
not effect this means OF preserving
food. Efficient drying depends
largely upon proper ventilation, as
demonstrated by the United States
Department Of Agriculture In the
use OF an electric fan without heat
A fan is not necessary. however.
and the specialists say that drying
may be done In the home with or
without a vacuum. Artificial heat
should be used sparinEly. and the
material should be heated in a very
slow oven; or simple trays can be
set on top of the stove or hung
above It. The appearance. taste and
even the food value Of fruits and
vegetables are injured by too long
heating or too high temperatures

GREEK FIGHTS
THREE ARMIES
John Kossarides, Now in U. S.
Service, Holds French
Badge of Courage

Carlisle, Pa, Dec. 7.-Fighting
with three armies for the cause of
world freedom is the unique exper-
ience of John Kossarides, a Greek,
holder of the croiX de guerre, from
France. now on a short furlough
with friends here. He is now a sim
pie private in a machine gun unit
stationed at Gettysburg, awaiting
orders for service abroad.
kossarides first saw service as a
lieutenant in the Balkan war with
his own country. At the outbreak
of the present struggle. not being
in sympathy with the position of his
nation, he left the country and en-
tered the French Foreign Legion
as a lieutenant. serving through the
Dardenelles campaign and later in
the trenches in France. During this
latter period of service he was
awarded the croiX de guerre for ex-
,ceptional bravery.
His term of enlistment was UP
about two months ago, and he re-
signed his position, coming to this
country, but donned uniform again
shortly after the declaration of war
against Germany by enlisting as a
private in the machine gun section,
his lack of knowledge of English
preventing him from assuming al
the time higher post.

Dauphin county contains approx
mately thirteen miles of the propos-
ed Harrisburg Reading war-foad

The fact that the old Berks-Dau-
phin pike is already graded, and that
plenty of material for road construc-
tton lies within trucking distance,
might make it possible to do this
construction at $4,000 a mile. In
that event Dauphin county's thir-
teen miles would cost S390,0O0. The

and the boroughs and townships the

The figures for 1916 show the tax

be S7S,143,271. The county, If il
saw fit, could borrow one-teuth OF
one per cent. of the total valuation
annually, or $7S,143, until a total
of $1,562,S64 was reached-two pei

the approval of one grand jury an
