STAFF Special.
NEW YORK, July t6-The wheels OF
the biggest mill in the United States,
whose grist is new-made American
citizens, are being geared up for high
speed work in anticipation OF the most
tremendous rush for citizenship papers
ever known.
The naturalization bureau In New
York grinds out annually more than
25 per cent. of all the new citizens in
the United States.
The new rush on the bureau which
has already set in since the introduc-
ton Of Congressman John L. Bkrnett's
anti.slacker bill, bids fair to exceed
the unprecedented jam which clogged
the official machinery when diplomatic
relations were broken with Germany
on February g. The Burnett bill aims
to reach men OF military age born In
allied countries, who have not been
naturahzed. It gives these men 30 Ia
so days from the enactment of the
measure to take out citizenship papers
so as to make them subject to mill
tary service here; or In case of failure
to do so, that they shall be deported

problem we have ever had" said Coun
ty Clerk William +. Schneider today
"The rush has already begun. From

S5 applications for first papers ant

Drying fruits and vegetables Is not
a matter of rules. II the principle IS
kept in mind, a careful cook can dry,
evaporate. dehydrate or dessicate a.
most any garden product successfully
at the first attempt.
Almost all large fruits and veget-
ables should be peeled and sliced.
then parboiled or steamed a few
minutes to soften the fiber.
Apples must be pared, cored and
sliced, then dipped in salt water to
keep them from turning brown The
allowance Of salt is three heaping
tablespoonfuls to a gallon OF water.
Cherries must be pitted.
Berries should be dried soon after

Drying Fruit and Vegetables

Rustless mesh screening makes q

cheesecioth If used for drying peas,
beans or corn. Berries should be dried
on platters.
It is not enough to dry any food
on the outside only. All must be dried
clear through or they will not keep.
Whatever the process used for drying,
the product must be stirred or turned
several times to insure complete and
uniform drying.
oven drying is most successful II
started at 100 degrees and kept be-
