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 drler 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
1t, 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 drler Is the cook.
stove oven. Bits of food, leftovers,
especially sweet corn, can be dried on
plates In 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 the oven often noted.
Trays for use In the oven can be made
from convenlent-slzed galvanized
wire screen by bending up the edges
one or two inches.
Cookstovs drlers on the market are
of two types. One type consists of a
series of trays upon which the material

placed In a framework one above the
other, forming compartment through
which the heated air rises, carrying OF
the moisture. The second type con

fastened to the sides Of the drier. This
prevents the direct heat from coming
in contact with the product and serves
as a radiator to spread the heat more
evenly.
The first tray Is placed three inches
above the radiator. The trays rest on
the cleats three inches apart. A drier

economical of material when made four

Better but more expensive trays can
be made by substituting galvanized

DRYING IN THE sun

The drying Of fruits and vegetables
Ia the sun is u simple process II they
have been prepared properly. In Its
simplest form such drying consists In
spreading the freshly prepared slices
or pieces on sheets of paper, or, II
there is danger of the products stick
Ing, spreading IA old pieces of muslin
held down with stones. Bright, hot,
sunny days are chosen for this work,
aid close watch Is kept to see that
no rain or dew vets the product. If
flies and other insects are abundant, u
mosquito bar Is thrown over the prod
uct. Once or twice Il day the slices
are stirred or turned over with the
hand and the thin ones which dry first
are taken out. Sun drying has much to
recommend 1t, since II requires no ex-
pendlture of fuel and there Is little
danger of the product becoming over
heated. Dust, however, gathers on the
product, and, unless 1t Is protected
carefully, flies. and especially certain
insects which habltually attack dried
fruits, will lay their eggs upon 1t.
These eggs later will hatch out, and
the worms, or larvae, will riddle the
dried fruits or vegetables, rendering
them unfit for the table.
Trays Of Uniform Size.
Fruits aud vegetables, when dried In
the sun, generally are spread on large
trays of uniform size. so constructed
that they can be stacked one on top
Of the other and protected from rain
by means of cover made of oilcloth,
canvas or roofing paper.
A very cheap tray can be made of
strips Of lumber three-fourths of an
inch thick and two inches wide, which
form the sides and ends, and lath,
which Is nailed on to form the bottom.

left between the laths for ventilation.

June Salaries and Intangible Tax
To %ho Edttor ~ The afar.

In an arcle appearing on page II.
part /. of The Sunday Star of July /.
relating to the new intangible tax law.
there is a statement to the effect that
checks and money in the hands of resi-
dents of the District on or about July
! are subject to this tax.
Now. l suppose the best way to as
certain II June salaries, payable about
July !. are taxable Is to ascertain
whether the assessor and his assistants
intend paying a tax on theirs for June
and II they do. whether they propose tc
make District employees generally pay
the tax on their pay for that month.
II District employees are not liable II
would seem that no one in private EN-.
ploy should be liable for salary re-
ceived about July !, whether he re-
ceived II in cash or check or deposited
1t in bank. And, for that matter, II
would seem that II salaries are exempt
then interest. dividends, rents. etc, re-
ceived at that time should also be ex-
empt.
I suppose the result Of the matter ID
that persons who keep heir July money
in their pockets or deposit 1t in savings
accounts will escape the tax bother.
while those who deposit theirs subject
to check will have to pay the tax. It
would seem that money not received
until about July should not be liable
to the tax: Let US have some informa-
ton on this point J. y. SMITH

1.-THE Mob"

To the Editor Of The Star:
wish to express the profound graft
tude and everlasting appreciation of
100000 colored Americans for your
most timely and fearless editorial
headed THE Mob" commend this
human God-inspiring article, not to
my race only. but to every nation that
reads the Bible. What we SOW We
shall reap, for the law of retaliation
will never die. The sun draws up the
water and the clouds let 1t down. Short
life has the nation that has no mercy
or regard for its poor. Brutes and
lawbreakers should be punished. but
the upright should be exalted. What
has the colored man done that he
should be treated SO badly? Is it be-
cause he Is submissive and treats the
whites better than he will his own
race? Well chance death and judg-
ment to save the life Of a white man.
Search the records of the colored man
from the day he landed here. We are
grateful to the sympathetic white peo-
pie regardless of any section of this
country. and. in conclusion. 1 wish to
inform the world that they may shake
us up. cut US up. burn US up and kill
us up, but what is left of US will be
found defending our flag and country
on land or across seas. L. c. MOORE.

of service to their country. They have
made their little gardens that food
