PREPARIN~ THE GARDEN
FOR WINTER.

The old saying that "you cannot
eat your cake and have it, too" does
not altogether apply in the garden.
Or, to put it differently, If you han
die your garden in the right way in
the fall you can get lot of the raw
plant foods which it contains
"cooked-up" and ready for your
crops to use next season, and also
save for next seasons use the "left-
overs that otherwise would 20 to
waste from the plant foods you ap-
piled this year.
The plant food in the soil exists in
two forms-called available" and
unavailable" This simply means
that the plant food that is termed
available" is in such forms that the
roots of growing plants can make i'm
mediate use of it, while that termed
"unaVailable' Is in such condition
that 1t has to undergo chemical
changes before the plant can take it
up. To make the matter plain for
the beginner, we may say that the
unavailable plant foods In the soil
correspond to the materials Of vari-
Gus kinds which the cook may have
in the kitchen cupboard--four, rice,
lima beans, spaghetti, etc. These are
all foods" but not available for
human use until after they have
been changed by cooking. The par
allel may be carried a step farther
In that, after they have been pre-
pared, they cannot be kept Indefinite
~, and unless made use of a large
percentage Of them will be lost or
wasted
How to Keep Ready-to-Use Plant
Food from Going to Waste.
During the fall, winter and early
spring great deal Of the plant food
In soil that is left bare is carried
away in the surface washing and in
the drainage water resulting from
rains and from melting SHOWS. In
the case Of nitrogen, which Is the
most valuable Of the three plant
foods most likely to be "short" In
any soil-hitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash--further loss Is OCCASION
ed by its passing off into the air. One
Of the gardeners most important
problems, therefore, is to save what
there may be left Of these available
plant foods at the end of the season
for another year. And, like the sur
plus foods in the kitchen they may
be saved by canning"

YES LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN.
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to
Dry Up Corn or Callus SO It
. Lifts Or With Fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops Of freezone applied direct
ly on tender, aching corn or callus,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened caNus loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as 1t Is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get a small bottle for
you from his wholesale drug house.
1t Is fine stuff and acts like charm
every time.-Adv.

while drying vegetables" has
Deen In use for great many years
was, In fact, used more years ago
than 1t has been lately-a new mcr
thod of drying has Just been devel-
oped which will be particularly use
ful to those living in cities and small
towns where there Is little space for
the string Of canned goods, but
where electricity Is available.
This new method of drying is, IN
prief, simply this: You cut up or
slice your vegetables or fruits in ra-
ther small pieces SO that they will
dry out rapidly. Place them in thin
layers In open trays, stacked one
above the other and placed before an
electric fan, which is kept running
until they dry out. Nothing to if
But 1t seems to answer the purpose
most admirably. If the market IS
flooded with string beans. Won can
get bushel Of them and blow all the
water you can out Of them at a cost
OF ten to twenty cents for electricity.
IN the winter YOU put the water into
them again by letting them soak
over night, and you have fresh string
beans.
Some things, like beans are
'blanched" before drying by being
lowered into boiling water or placed
III steam for few minutes before
drying. They should be dried until
no water can be pressed out of
freshly broken piece-that is, until
tough and leathery; but not until
crisp and brittle. To be sure Of get
ting them evenly dried, and suffi-
GENTLY dried, each batch" of dried
material should be mixed and "con-
ditioned' by pouring it from one con-
tainer into another two or three
times during the first few days after
drying. If too moist, it can be put
back and dried out more. The dried
products should be kept from the
light ACKNOWLEDGMENT o. thewises they,

and detailed directions for this new
method of drying, send to Washing

NAVY DEPARTMENT IS ACTIVE.
Thos. A. Edison and Associates Are
Completing Big Inventions.

washington, Aug. 23-There We're
two developments of Importance af-
fecting the American naval program
to-day.
ihos. A. Edison, accompanied by
Secretary Daniels, went to the White
House and laid before President Will
son an outline of series of inven-
lions that may be Of great value to
the navy. The conference lasted for
As minutes.
FOR military reasons it Is impossi-
ole to divulge the projects which Mr.
EDISON and his assistants have been
laboring with and which he believes
may have far-reaching effect upon
warfare on the sea and in the air.
1t may be stated, however, that he
has already turned over to the Navy
Department one invention which Of
tceES believe may be adapted to ma
val usuages with excellent results.
only a few navy officers have had
an opportunity to see tests of the in
vention. They are satisfied II will
prove valuable If its nature Is kent
secret until 1t Is taken into action.
IL Is probable that as result of to-
days conference a board of naval off,
GERS will inspect Mr.. Edison's other
ihYentions within the next few days,
me second development indicat-
ing that the Navy Department Is de-
termined 10 push the war more ap-
gressiVely was conference between
secretary Daniels and approximately
20 ship and engine builders repre-
senting plants which have been turn
ing out destroyers
Mr. Daniels told these builders
frankly that the United States was
not satisfied with the results from
the light submarine chasers and that
he desired the yards Of the country
TO turn out destroyers as rapidly as
possible. He explained that the
chaser type serves to protect harbors
ana coastwise shipping, but is not of
great value in disposing of subma-
rines at sea.
For this reason the United States
has decided to build destrovers &c
rapidly as possible. They are the
one type of ship which submarines
fear to encounter. The shin builders
were asked to report just how MANY
destroyers they could turn out ON
standardized patterns. 1t Is the in
tention Of the Navy Department to
WORK Ve'l Sthree shifts in destroyer build
lnglyards If possible so that they may

dfeas: A report from the shipbuild-
ers giving their maximum capacities

The great difficulty which thi,
country has experienced in buildin,.
has been the shortage Of engines. Mr.
Daniels Informed the engine build
ers that the government would make
1T we'll worth their while to build en-
glnes fast enough to keep up with
the destroyers turned out by the
shipyards.
II the engine builders report that
they are unable to keep up the pace
the Navy Department probably will
arrange to take over at least one of
the great automobile factories for
engine construction. The DEPART
ment appears satisfied that such a
plant can readily be adapted for the
construction of destroyer engines.

Harry Vivian and company had
their sharp-shooting act in the ring
again and they came out with flying

has recently returned from the front
and is giving exhibitions OF skill as

His charming young partner is also
most adept with a ride.
