met in ST. Henry's Catholic church
and organized benevolent association
which still remains in existence and
whose golden jubilee will be commem-
Grated Sunday The organization is
known as st. Henry's Mutual Benefit
association, a branch of a state and
national organization. During the in
terval which has lapsed since it's for
nation to the present time the society
done much for humanity among its

the test of time, the fifty years just

rule for all members to attend the
funeral of a decedent member or in lieu
thereof pay an assessment, but this
rule was abrogated for more up to
date methods.
Paid Benefits.

has paid benefits and other disburse-

days early stock market operations,
recording gains ranging from sub
stantial fractions to IL points, while
other divisions of the list were ir-

a point and Studebaker 1 liz, while
General Motors gained two. United

but allied issues were firm. Peoples

bracing many low grade issues. Many
made gains of one to one and one-half
points. Representative railroads, like
Union Pacific, St Paul and Reading
advanced one to two and one-hah

DRIED VEGETABLES

Equally as great care should be
given to the selection and pre-.
paration of vegetables for dry.
ing as for canning. To secure a
fine quality of dried products
much depends upon having the
vegetables absolutely fresh,
young, tender andperfectly clean.
Wash all vegetables and clean
well. II steel knives are used in
pairing and cutting have them
clean and bright so as not to
discolor the vegetable.
After vegetables are prepared
properly they are blanched. The
blanch gives a more thorough
cleaning, removes the strong
odor and flavor from certain
kinds Of vegetables and softens
and loosens the fiber. This allows
the moisture in the vegetable to
evaporate more quickly and uni
formly. It also quickly coagulates
The albuminous matter in the
vegetables which helps to hold

consists of plunging the vege-

DRlERS OR EVAP0RATORS

Vegetables and fruits can be
dried in an oven, in trays or
racks over the kitchen stove, or
in a specially constructed drier.
There are small driers on the
market which give satisfactory
results. The small cookstove
driers or evaporators are small
oven-like structures, usually
made of galvanized sheet iron,
or Of wood and galvanized iron.
They are of such a size that they
canb be placedon thetop ofano rdi-
nary wood or coal range, or a
kerosene stove. These driers
hold a series of small trays on
which fruits or vegetables are
placed after being prepared for
drying. Portable outdoor evap-
orators are especially convenient
when it is desired to dry as much
as ten bushels of fruit or vege-
tables per day. They are usually
constructed of wood except the
parts in direct contact with the
heater. The homemade dry kiln
used in some sections of the
country can be cheaply and easily
made of brick and stone.
II drying is done in a cook
stove oven. leave oven door ajar.
Note temperature of oven often.
Trays for use in the oven can
be made by using a convenient
sized piece of galvanized wire
screen and bending up the edge
l or 2 inches.

HOW TO DRY
VEGETABLES

Many vegetables and fruits,
which often go to waste, can
very easily be conserved for
home use by a simple process of
drying, which can be done in the
average home. Dried products
require no outlay for expensive
containers and can be stored al
most indefinitely under proper
conditions in relatively small
space. One hundred pounds Of
fresh vegetables will average
ten pounds of the dried product.
Vegetables and fruits. if proper
ly dried, retain their natural
flavor and food value and when
properly cooked can be made in
10 most attractive and whole
sorna diahes

A good many of our contem-
poraries who have been urging
the canning movement this sum-
mer are showing their good faith
in the idea by the exclusive use
Of canned editorials. To one who
did not know the game the ap-
pearance of so many brilliant
paragraphs couched in identical
language on the editorial pages
ola dozen or more contemporaries
would be a remarkable instance
of thought transference. How
ever, 1t costs about a dollar q
month and does save time.
