Why Ameriman House
wives Should Dry
Fruits and Vegetables
By George Martin

lImted Press stair correSpondent)
Following is the first of series of
8 stories on war food conservation
through the drying of fruits and vege-
tables in the home. The series is based
on a special department Of agrieultur-
al report and in reality constitutes a
short course in this method of food con
servation for the American housewife.
-Editor.)
Washington, Aug. l. - Uncle Sam,
through his department of agriculture,
today expressed the belief that one of
the best ways American housewives can
help conserve our food supply is by
drying fruits and vegetables at home
His experts have prepared short
course in this food saving system, so
popular among grandmothers of the Am
erican housewives of today. 1t is de
signed to suit your kitchen, no matter
how small or large your domestic es-
ltablishment may be.
The Importance attached to the plan
| by the Grand Old Man of the Stars and
Stripes is seen in his statement that
you are efficiently following the ma
| tion 3 food conservation policy if you
slice and dry so much as single carrot
purchased when carrots are in season
and cheap.
This first story is to tell you why
fruit and vegetable drying at home Is
important The other seven articles, all
short and to the point, will tell you
principles and methods Of drying, how
to prepare various foods for drying;
home made apparatus You need, detail
ed directions for drying, precautions
against insects, how to pack and store
dried foods and, recipes for cooking
them tastily.
Uncle Sam believes you should buy
fruits and vegetables and dry them
when they are in season and cheap, be-
cause they viii constitute reserve
supply and cut your food bill later
when things are higher.
In Europe dried foods are one of
the biggest items of food conservation.
All surplus fruits and vegetables IN
city markets are dried in municipal
drying plants. Other government plants
are built in the trucking regions. Tin
Grant drying machines 60 from farm to
farm in other sections.
Dried foods are very good. Many
housewives even today prefer dried
sweet corn to canned. Dried pumpkin
and squash are excellent for pies. Snap
beans strung on threads and dried
above the stove are fine.
This country is producing enormous
quantities of perishable foods this year
which can be saved entirely if the sur
plus is dried. You, can help do this.
On farms, where root cellars and
canning facilities are better, it is bet
ter to preserve foods in those ways.
The drying methods apply particularly
to town and city homes, where storing
facilities are scarce and cans and glass
jars expensive.
Dried foods win not freeze and can
be shipped more conveniently than
canned foods IN winter
With simple. and Inexpensive faeili-
ties, housewives everywhere can save
quantities of food too small to can. A
few sweet potatoes, apples, peas or ev.
en- single turnip can be dried and
saved.
This would soon give You enough for
a meal Small lots of cabbage, carrots,
furnips, potatoes and onions, saved BY
drying, can be combined for soups and
steWs

School Expense Increased More Than
Twice as Fast as Population

Thanks to E. D. Cowen, the man
who furnished the Spokesman-Review
with figures showing the monstrous
waste OF the taxpayers money in the
administration OF our schools. Some
thing may be done by the 1917 legis-
lature to stop the waste. In the quar-
ter century OF statehood population has
increased less than four times, school
enrolment less than five times, prop
erty valuation has increased less than
five times, while public school expen-
diture has increased more than TEN
TIMES.
There is food for serious reflection
in these figures. Why should school
expenses increase more than twice as
rapidly as population and property tax
valuation? If the legislature does not
put up the bars and stop this iniquitous
waste of the taxpayers money then the
taxpayer should move to substitute for
the Legislature state managerial COM
mission.

Gathering the Tourist Crop

Pro6ting by the experience OF Cali
fornia the northwestern states, joined
BY British Columbia, are making an ef-
fort to gather a tourist crop the COM
ing year. The Legislatures of Wash
ington and Oregon will be asked to
appropriate fifty thousand dollars, hall
OF which sum is to be expended this.
and the remaining half next year, in an
organized effort to bring some OF the
tourist travel from the eastern states to
the northwest. In the past Califor-
MIA has enjoyed a monopoly OF this
highly remunerative crop. which has
been estimated as worth 5000. OOO,-
900, including the winter tourists.
The automobile has greatly stimulated
travel in our own country. OF course,
the autos more than anything else has
stimulated interest in good roads, and
we are every year spending approx
ms,ely FIVE million dollars In Washing
ton 10 improving our roads. II We can
secure tourist travel there Is posi-
bility Of our getting some OF this road
investment back from the tourists.
The obvious way to secure tourist
travel is TO let the touring world know
about our good roads and our scenic
wonders and attractions. This costs
money. Wherefore the states inter
ested, including British Columbia. will
be asked to pay at least part OF the
cost. In our opinion the investment
promises returns, not only in tourist
travel but the benefit this state will get
in advertising her resources and induc-
ing immigration.

FISH FROZEN IN ICE WILL
REVIVE WHEN THAWtD OUT
May Suspend Animation for Ten Years
If Handled Properly, Says
Professor Smith

A live fish gradually frozen in cake
of ice does not die; it merely suspends
all life processes. When the ice
melts, if it does so slowly, the fish
lakes up its vital activities again as if
nothing had happened. This phe-
nomenon was described by Prof. Victor
e. Smith OF the university department
Of zoology, in discussing a recent an
nouncement that a Swiss naturalist
had revived frozen fish.
There is no reason why fish, il
frozen slowly in a cake OF ice, should
not be revived even at the end OF ten
years." said Prof. Smith. Cases OF
the revival OF frozen cold booded ami
mails are not uncommon. Frogs are
many times frozen for long periods OF
time and turtles will live even under
ordinary circumstances for year with
out food"
The process OF freezing fish must be
accompanied with the greatest care, he
said. The temperature Of the water
must be reduced slowly in the freezing
process and must be gradually raised
in the thawing part OF the experiment.
The phenomenon has as yet only
laboratory value, according to Prof.
Smith. Of Washington Bull
letin.

81 Per Cent of New Workers Unfit for
Marines

Only about three per cent OF the
young men in little old Manhatten who
apply for enlistment in the United
States Marine Corps are qualified to be-
come soldiers of the sea-" according
10 a statement issued recently BY a
local recruiting official OF that corps.
During the first nine months Of 1915
there were s082 applicants for enlist
meat in the Marine Corps recruiting
district Of New York, and but 167
were accepted for enlistment. Only
one out OF every thirty men who ap
piled could meet the requirements.
Out OF $40 examinations by the med
ical officer, $50 were rejected, and the
principal causes given for these rejec
tons were: Defective vision, go; de-
fective teeth "a; heart affections III;
fiat feet, "a; and underweight and
poor physique, 70.

BRINGING TOURIST TRAVEL
TO NORTHWESTERN STATES
The SIS, 900 Asked Of the State Should
Be Granted An Investment That
Would Pay a Dividend

The Northwest Tourist Association,
composed OF Orel on. Washington and
British Columbia membership. is ask
ing for state help in its publicity cam.
paign.
II anyone suggested bringing an in
dustry into this state that would circu-
late 100000 a year at cost OF
$50, 900 the cost would be subscribed
in forty-eigh, hours in any one Of our
principal cities. 1t would be bust
ness proposition the returns from which
would justify any city in making the
investment.
The Pacific Northwest Tourist Asso
citation has made much greater bust.
ness proposition to the entire state in
asking the state legislature to appro-
pirate $4,000 year Tor two years, to
be used with appropriations from Ore
gon and British Columbia in a cam
paign to bring tourists to the Pacific
Northwest.
Tourist traffic is the principal indus
try OF Southern California and the com
mercial organizations OF that state esti'
mate that tourists will spend $780,
900, 900 in California this winter. Cal
itornia is spending more than $780,
900, the greater part Of which is raised
by taxation, TO secure tourist business.
The Pacific Northwest has not Sc
cured its share OF tourist business for
lack Of proper publicity. The plans OF
the Pacific Northwest Tourist Associa-
ton, if carried thru, will result in a
great summer tourist business to the
Pacific Northwest which should result
in an expenditure OF $50,000,000 an
nually in the State Of Washington.
The appropriation asked Of the legis-
lature is small. when the great general
benefit from tourist travel is considered
and there should be no hesitancy on
the part OF the legislature 10 make this
investment for the general good.
