CANADIAN GAMERS

VANCOUVER, B. C.-The Gamers
of British Columbia would seem to
be experiencing the unpleasant eff
fects Of the high cost Of living and
the supplies necessary in the opera
ton Of canning. AT a recent meet
ing of the Fisheries Commission, the
president Of the british Columbia
Packers association was somewhat
pessimistic as to the outlook. He re-
marked that with the growing scar.

bers of canneries and the advancing
prices all round, the Gamers were
facing a situation out of which they
could hardly see their way at pres
ent. The Gamers had so far been
successful owing to their habit of
buying a long way ahead, but they
were facing huge increases in the
costs of material. For instance
boxes of tinplate they now had on
hand were priced So to 81 higher
than when they were purchased.

Island eggs are obtainable at the

them at this price, considering what
they have to pay for chicken feed.

DRY ALL GARDEN
SURPLUS URGES
HOOVER'S STAFF

Is the surplus from your war gar
den" going to waste? Europe has been
running her surplus through the dry
er. The United States has followed
this lead, and large drying plants have
been located in several trucking cen
tiers. You are perhaps not in reach
OF one Of these; but there are several
good cook-stove dryers on the market,
and satisfactory ones may be made al
home at as low cost as $125.
The principle of this drying is the
same as in curing tobacco. Hot air
circulates freely over the trays OF
vegetables which are placed one above
another in a chamber (which may be
as small as the portable oven Of the
oil stove, or as big as the tobacco barn
ITSELF where the trays of vegetables,
instead Of tobacco are placed on the
tobacco sticks.
Many farms have small out-build
ings which could be converted into
dryers by using little stove-piping
The trays are made Of light strips of
wood and galvanized-wire netting. A
thermometer is necessary in order to
regulate the temperature. For full
directions for constructing different
types Gf dryers and drying fruits and
vegetables, write to the food admin,
istration, Washington, D. C.
Dried vegetables can be stored
easily, shipped easily, and do not
freeze in winter. Small quantities,
too trifling for canning, can be saved
by drying. Dried vegetables are truly
palatab!e and often better than the
canned product.
In this season of abundance, the
wise provider will store large quanti-
ties of dried vegetables for winter
stews and soups. If she be pressed
for time, and suger be scarce, she may
put up ample supplies of dried fruit
for preserves later. or to be used,
after soaking overnight, like fresh
fruit for sauces and desserts.

HENRY'S POI. FACTORY
CHANGES HANDS FOR $4,000

That Hawaiians are realizing the
urgent need of planting more taro and
converting it into poi, is evident by
the fact that the poi factory of VIM
Henry, former high sheriff of the ter
ritory, situated at Kaneohe, Koolau
has been purchased by the officers OF
a Hawaiian association for $4,000. In.
cluded in this deal, said one Of the
officers, was a 14-acre tract of land,
already planted in taro.
Rev. Akaiko Akana, and James K.
Kula, former member of the last
house of representatives, are the exc
cutiye officers Of the association. The
hui has a stall at the fishmarket,
where poi brought from Kaneohe is
being sold daily.
The officers of the hui intend to
buy more lands for the purpose of
planting taro.

They are talking in Washington

army as perform deeds Of signal
valor, even as Germany and Eng
land and France pin decorations on
the breasts of their heroes, so that
all who see them may know of their
bravery.
When this medal is struck, an
other one should be struck as a
companion piece to it. This other
medal should be in the design of a
bleeding heart with two white bars
across it, and on these bars should
be in letters of gold the words
PATRIOTISM and COURAGE, and
this insignia of the highest order

Building up their bodies Is going

cold hard fact that drink diminishes a

1t cannot be risked In war times is
the biggest temperance argument that
