COSTS LESS TO DRY
THAN TO CAN (!
BY BIpDY BYE.

The food value Of dried fruit Is about
the same as that of fresh fruit while
that of canned fruit is often higher,
owing to the addition Of sugar. But
the cost of drying food is considerably
less owing to the cheapness Of the con-
tainers required and the small amount
Of space needed for storage.
The dry product takes up one.tenth
of the space of the wet vegetable In
storage and weighs about one-twelfth
as much. According to an expert, as
much dried vegetable can be packed
in a tin about the size Of a pocket
tobacco box as quart Of canned fresh
vegetables will hold.
Properly dried or dehydrated vege-
tables will keep so years in any eli.
mate If sealed. Dried vegetables and
fruits will supply the housewife all the
year without the expense Of the up.
keep of refrigerator in summer.

HEALTH HINTS

No country, no race, no sex, no color
is immune from tuberculosis!
Similarly no tissue, no member, no
portion of the human body is i'm
mune.
The catholicity of the disease, both
as to people and tissues brings about
strange results.
For instance tuberculosis of bone
or joint is very different from tubercu'
losis of the lungs, the skin or the
brans.
When some internal organs are at.
tackled the consequences are even at
wider variance from the commonly
conceived picture of the devastations
of that minute vegetable, the tuber'
Gle bacillus.
Thomas Addison, sprung from the
English yeomanry Of Cumberland,
physician, teacher and disagnostic gen.
ius, carried on series of observations
for years before he found that tuber.
culosis was often at the root of the
disease which now bears his name.
Addison's disease, generally caused
by tuberculosis of those little organs
which lie just above the kidneys is
marked by extreme prostration, blood
lessness, a marked bronzing of the
skin and death. There may be other
symptoms but weakness, anemia and
skin celebration are most prominent.
The logged determination which
marked Addison's attempt to track
down the cause OF this strange dis.
ease is the ruling spirit of the medical
men Of today. Every effort is-bent to
find the cause of any given disease SO
the disease may be prevented instead
of merely cured.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July g.
Now is a good time for garden own
ers in many sections who have mere
beets of the early crop than they can
eat in the fresh form and an abund-
ance Of glass Jars and tin cans, to can
baby beets, says the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
Grade for size, color, and degree Oh
ripeness. Wash thoroughly, use vege-
table brush. Scald or blanch in hot
water sufficiently to loosen the skin.
Dip quickly into cold water. Scrape or
pare to remove skin. Pack whole vege-
tables, slices, or cross-section pieces
in hot glass jars or tin cans. Add boil
ing hot water until full. Add level tea
spoonful salt to quart. Place rubbers
and tops or jars in position; partially
seal. but not tight. Cap and tip tin
cans completely Place on false bot
tom in a vessel Of hot water which just
covers the containers. Sterillze at
boiling temperature in hot water bath
Gamers for 80 minutes.
If the early crop of beets is abund-
ant but jars or cans are not available,
the surplus young beets may be dried
for winter use.
Select young, quickly grown, tender
beets. Wash, peel raw, slice about 1-S
inch thick, and dry over stove, be-
fore an electric fan, or in the sun. The
dried product may be packed In paper
cartons, in paraftned paper bags, bak-

containers which will exclude moisture
and insects.

Women Divers Outclass Men, Says Expert
Diving Brings Greatest Summing Thrill
My MISS vALLERY MAIN.
western Aouatle MARVEL,

western A9uaLlS melTNGh
Diving is not hard to learn. Just
enough courage to try the simple dives
from low spring-board will convince
any athletically inclined girl Of her
ability to master them.
And when done right, they are so in.
teresting TO watch and so fascinating
to perform, that once fairly started,
you will not stop until expert at this
most thrilling sport.
The sensation of rising from the
spring.board, of controlling and d.
recting the body is the air, assuming
the graceful pose and slipping into
the water at the finish like a seal Is
indescribably enjoyable.
1 do not understand why there are
not more women that dive well. Per-
haps 1t is because they have not had
anyone to tell them how.
Women, because they are naturally
so much more graceful than.men In
variably, when taught right, dive with
finer form, beauty and grace. can
not imagine prettier picture than a
welcomed woman doing the swan
dive correctly.
Picture number one is Of the jack
knife dive. The photograph explains
it. When the idea of jumping straight
up in the air, you spring hard on the
board so as to get as much height as
possible.
AS you attain the greatest height,
try to touch the toes with the hands,
Then quickly raise the legs up straight
so the body will be practically perpen-
dicular, AS in all dives, Just before en-.
tering the water, extend the hands so
they reach the water first.
Picture number two is Of the swan
dive. This pose is assumed when one
jumps from the board. 1t is not chang.
ed until the hands are extended to en-.
ter the water at the conclusion of the
dive.
In order to plunge in head first with.
out bending the body, throw the lower
half of the body skyyards as you leave
the board, just as though you were
trying to Jump up and land on your
head without bending your back.
The swan dive is beautiful and sim
pie, though to the spectator it appears
extremely daring and difficult. :
In my next article, am going to ex-
plain the crawl" This is the stroke
l used when won the Carlton Wall
trophy in the 1916 race across the
Golden Gate, at San Francisco.
