CANNING LESSONS
Three Ways to Dry.

Simplest form of food conservat ation,
 sun drying, is to place pieces of food
 on sheets of pa per or muslin and e1
 pose them to sun. says today's belle-
 tin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission of Washington,
 which is cooperating with The Bulle
 tin in a nation wide campaign to save food. At all times care should be
 taken to protect the product from moisture, and along towards evening he material should be taken indoors. The food should be carefully covered with eheesecioth to protect from in
 sects. Once or twice a day the ma terial should be turned and the dried pieces removed. No exact time can be given for drying but a little ex- perience will soon make it easy to determine when the products are suf- etables should be rather brittle but not so dry as to snap or craclle, and fruits rather leathery and piiable. Product will mold if not dried enough.
 In drying by artificial heat, cloth or wire trays may be suspended over the range or dishes of food may be placed in the oven. or specially constructed differs may be made or purchased. In oven drying the foodstuffs may be placed on dishes or wire screens in a slow oven with the door partially open. ! or drying over a stove, a single tray CT series of trays may be suspended by a wire or specially constructed differs may be placed directly upon the top of the stove. In drying by this process. care should be taken that the temperature is not too high.
 Drying by air blast takes advantage of the electric fan or some similar device for creating current of air and directing it along a series of trays stacked one above the other. The number of trays is regulated by the size of the fan. A combination of this method with sun drying gives excel lent results. Drying by this process may be done in twenty-four hours, or less. a few hours being sufficient In the case of some vegetables and fruits.
 Before storing for the winter, it is essential that dried material be "eon- ditioned" by pouring from one con- tainer to another daily for several days. All moist pieces should be re- turned to the drier until cured.
 Proper packing and storage is of great importance. Tin cans and paste board boxes with tight fitting covers moisture proof paper bags End simi- lar containers may be used. Small pa ekages should be used so that the product may be consumed quickly after opening. Seal all cans and pa per boxes with paraffin and tie tops Of bags tightly Store all dried pro- ducts in cool place free freaa neis- ture: insect and vernain, and label all packages fer convenience in 1nd-

Continental" Indian corn eelA in Boston for $150 a byshel; butter for SIP pound; barrel of flour cost s1575 and Samuel Adams paid S2.0o0 per dollars to make a cent. And
 Washington declared "a wagon load of money was needed to buy a wogan- toad of food" It was then that the send men and ships and gold. There was indeed rejoicing when in July seven ps-of-the- line and three fri gates. arrived at Newport bringing 5000 men under Count Rochambeau, with news of endorsements to come And so the year of 17S0 which had witnessed the annihiliatien of two armies. the bankruptcy of Congress, brought a great hope from France. And the announcement of the French Alliance placed us before all Europe as an acknowledged independent na / tion.
 Daily the debt to France increased as the end of the conflict approached At Yorktown. lafayette, with only s,ooe troops skilfuily naaeuxerea hIs had come out to crush the boy thought is wise to retreat to his base of operations by the seq, where pres- eptly the boy held him at bay Meanwhile. with keen expectancy arrival of the French fleet command ed by de Grasse-2S ships of the line, s frigates carrying 17GD guns, and 10000 men. And when the glorious news that they had come gladdened 2.0e0 Conunentals, accompanied by Rochaznloea4 with 1000 FreneAmen. began a march, the destiRation of which was known te only these two great French squa dron was on the scene. having gained a decisive vic tory over Admiral Graves. and taken full possession of the Virginia waters, with 700 men killed or wounded in the enga cement.
 And now, while the French held the sea, 5000 of their troops were sent ashore under the Marquis Simon, which by reinforcing Lafayette, en- abled him to take his stand across the peninsula at Williamsburg, thus cut ting off Gornwaiiis from possible re- treat. So for six days the French men held Cernwaliis, until the arrival of Washington and Roohambeau with the additional 4.00G FFenchmen. It was victory for France as well as for America. when on October 18th, the enemy surrendered.
 It was a day of happy omen. not only for the United States and for France, but for Great Britain as well. for it neant~ the fall of the corrupt and shameless government of George IT. and the birth of a new England; that or William III. "aipOle, Pitt, Chatham and Gladst.ne. And when, years after, lafayette said to Napo- leon that the American Revolution was the greatest event in the history of the world" he realized that a de cisive battle for freedom had then been won.
 Could we compute the interest up- on the money which France bestowed it would immeasurably exceed our powers of calculation. And if we es- timate the debt in men. we have the statement of the Prince de Joinyilla That 'sF,Fance lost 35,00o men and o5 ships-of the -iine,' a loss not all on this side of the water but all resulting from the American alliance
 The debt to France is more than we can ever pay because it is the price of our great national existence. but we can do our best to pay at least a fraction of the debt which made us free

ENDING THE ROW

In view Of the trouble which has been experienced and the failure of the efforts which have been made to overcome it, the president has taken the proper step for the adjustment of 1t so far as those directly involved therein are concerned by accepting the resignations of Chairman Den man Of the shipping board and Gen eral Goethals of the emergency fleet corporation. It cannot help being felt however. that some move of this kind should have been made at an earlier date Tor there is reason to believe that had Chairman Denman's resirpa tion been called for and accented a the time when the president attempt ca to separate his duties from those Of the feet corporation manager tte controversy would have been ended and the services of General GoethaIs who has proved himself a great en- E1neer and who has the confidence Of the nation, would have been assured

MORE POWER FOR kEREnsky.

By the action which has been taken in conferring unlimited power upon Premier Kerenslly in order that he may be able to properly handle the situation which has developed in Rus sia, it is apparent that the provisional government in that country faces a serious situation. It is true that it has gone through some epochal events and come out victorious, but the new trouble indicates that all the trouble makers have not been eliminated, that the people are no more firmly united than they ought to be and that a master hand is needed to bring about the organization of a stable govern ment for the crushing of the revelu- tionary and anarchistic clements and the carrying out of the principles fer which the new Russia stands. Ma tional safety has demanded this for some time but it is needed now more than ever.
 From the part which Kerensky has played in the setting up of the new government. the arousing of the army to it's duty and the launching of a successful offensive, it must be reces- nized that he was the man of the hour and it was only to be expected that he would be agreed upon as the one to be named for the premiership. But
 
 forth with some sueeess to SOW dis sensien among the army, it is evil dent that he needs all the authority that has been conferred upon him, even to the making of him dieta- tor, if he is going to be able to cope with the tricky situation.
 It is apparent that the Germans have relied upon the ability of their agents to foment trouble and that their army heads had fully calculated the importance of falling back in front of the advancing Russians, that they might get them in a more ia Norable position to strike back when conditions were ripe. That re'krn blow has now been struck both by the Austro-German army and through a body blow in the shape of advo- cates of disIeyalty in the Russian ranks. It now rests with Kerensky to overcome this new menace and it must be appreciated that he has no easy task and that he needs all the that has been given him.

LEAVE IF TO ADMINISTRATORS.

There can be no surprise that there
 is strong opposition to that part
 of the food control bill. as passed by
 the senate, fixing the minimum price
 of wheat at s2 bushel. That Is a
 matter which better be left to-tle
 one. or to the three, who viii be
 given the authority to enforce this
 measure. The idea of fixing a mini
 mum price in regard to that com
 modity ought not to have been in
 corporated into the bill any more
 than it should have been attempted
 in regard to any other products.
 It can be appreciated that the set
 ting upon a price of g q bushel for wheat could be looked upon as giving that crop is already planted and there is no telling what the conditions are going to be later on. It is possible that such an amount would be, proper but there is just as much of a possi- bility that it would be altogether too high, but if it Is to be attempted in regard to wheat there is reason to the claim that it should be done con- corning cotton, corn, cattle, coal and other things.
 The farmers have reason to expect that they will he dealt fairly. with, and that having given their time, at tention, land and money to meeting the requirements of the country in regard to wheat that they should get a fair price for their product, but that could be insured by placing the authority for the establishing of a fair price upon those who will be put in charge of the food measure and who will as times change have an opportunity to insist upon a price that will be fair for all. In accord 1 ance with the movement for the low ering of high prices it could have been urged With as much reason that a maximum sale price for wheat should be fixed, but that again is a matter which can be adjusted in the same manner and is in fact one of the duties which should devolve upon those who are in touch with the sit uation and will be in charge of the 1 food bill

circles. The free lunch is one of our most ancient and deep rooted Apleri
 can institutions, and has long been patronized and appreciated alike by the impecunious hobo, the honest working man and the hungry business
 man dropping in for a casual cocktail on his way home to supper. But the country can do without it. And there will be little open lamentation, how ever individuals may deplore 1t in their inmost thoughts. The liquor dealers may well plead that they can't afford to give food awa- any more. Food conservationists give their un- qualified approval and estimate with satisfaction the quantity of provisions it will save. For the free lunch has undoubtedly been wasteful. It has seldom nninistered to real hunger. r. has been an incentive for men to eat and dFink-nore than was good for them. Mir Hoover has urged the re- nunciation of the fourth meal" He will surely favor renouncing the free lunch which often amounts to a fifth OF sixth meal. And the anti Liquor reformers will rejoice too. They have long sought to ban the free lunch, on the ground that it lured men to the aloons Thus everybody concerned except inveterate free lunchers-is sa atisfied.-Meriden Record.
