CANNING AND DRYING.

So much is being said about can
ming that a reader Of the Democrat
writes from Fairfield wondering why
someone does not suggest drying"
She recalls that when she was a
girl there was no such luxury az can
ned fruit. They had dried peaches
pears, apples, ounces, plums (stoned)
and tomatoes
"No doubt there are many who will
laugh at such thing as dried toma :
toes. she writes, but we thought them
delicious. They were cooked down
pretty we'll then put on creased plates
TO dry. When wanted for cooking
we would take a small piece and soak
1t In cold water for n little while, then
It was ready to be cooked In the usual
way"
So our correspondent suggests that
the teachers and the Campfire girls
and other volunteers take up the task
OF preserving this years fruit crop
by cooperating surplus fruit and add
ing 1t TO our winter stores. II have
seen apples she writes. that had
been dried for thirteen years. and that
were as nice as when first dried"
what this writer says will be readily
confirmed by anyone who remembers
a few decades back and recalls the dry
ing Of all the surplus sweet corn,
fruits, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and
various other vegetables. All of them
were good enough to be welcome on
many table in preference to canned
or fresh eaiables costing several times

GERMANS SEEK T0LlVE
J IN RESTRICTED ZONE
Rush of Unnaturalized Teutons for
Permits Overwhelms Office Of
New York q. S. Marshal.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-The rush of
unnaturalized Germans for permits to
enable them to continue living within
a half mile of armories. forts or other
places used by the army and navy, has
become SO great that Thomas D. Nc
Carthy, United States marshal, has re-
quested the Department Of Justice for
fifty additional clerks to help his pres
ent force of thirty-eight investigating
applications.
Many hotel and cafe proprietors have
discovered that their resorts will after
June / be within the zones forbidden by
the Presidents war proclamation to
enemy aliens.
Marshal Mccarthy announced that the
permits for Germans to enter those
zones can be issued only in cases of
vital necessity, and that none will be
given for social purposes. This means
that many hostelry within the for
hidden areas that has made point of
catering to German patronage will be
entirely stripped OF it's customers.
In Brooklyn, out of the $50 blanks re-
turned, only one has so far received the
approval of the district attorney and
agents of the Department Of Justice.
More than 1900 German subjects have
obtained application blanks at the
Brooklyn marshalS office.
