This permits the current Of heated air
to pass around and over the trays. A
ventilator opening, about two inches
wide and six inches long, Is left In the
top Of the drier, through which the
moist air may pass away.
This principle Of construction Is fol-

Of air induces a more rapid and uni

be shifted to the lower part Of the
drier, and the lower trays to the upper
part as drying proceeds, SO as to dry
the products uniformly throughout.
Another Home DrIer.
Still another home drier is the cook
stove oven. Bits Of food, leftovers.
especially sweet corn, can be dried on
plates In a very slow oven or on the
back Of the cookstove and saved for
winter use. II the oven is very warm,
the door should be left ajar and the
temperature of the oven often noted.
Trays for use in the oven can be made
from a convenient-sized galvanized
wire screen by bending up the edges
one or two inches.
Cookstove driers on the market are
Of two types. One type consists Of a
series Of trays upon which the material
to be dried is spread. These trays are

Trays Of Uniform Size.
Fruits and vegetables, when dried in
the sun. generally are spread on large
trays Of uniform size, so constructed
that they can be stacked one on top
of the other and protected from rain
by means of cover made Of oilcloth,
canvas or roofing paper.

which Is nailed on to form the bottom.
Spaces one-eighth inch wide should be
left between the laths for ventilation,
and the traps can be raised of the
ground by placing them on poles or an
improvised trestle. As laths are four

economical of material when made four

Better but more expensive trays can
be made by substituting galvanized

inch mesh, for the laths, in which case
the most economical size would depend
upon the width Of the wire screen OBJ
tainable.
A cheap and very satisfactory drier
for use over the kitchen stove can be
made by any handy boy or carpenter
from small amount of small-mesh
administrative netting and a number
Of laths or strips of wood about one
half inch thick and two inches wide.
The screen may be tackled directly on
the framework to make the drying
shelves, or the framework can be made
to support separate trays. By using
two laths nailed together, the frame
work can be stiffened and larger trays
made If desirable. This form or any
Of the lighter makes Of driers can be
suspended from the ceiling over the
kitchen range or over the oil, gasoline
or gas stove, and 1t WILL utilize the hot
air which rises during the cooking
hour. 1t can be raised out of the way
or swung to one side by a crane made
Of lath when the stove Is required for
cooking purposes, and lowered or
swung back to utilize the heat which
otherwise would be wasted when the
top Of the stove is not in use.
Another homemade cookstove drier
can be used on wood or coal range
or kerosene stove can be made easily
and cheaply. Dimensions: Base "a by
16 inches; height SO inches. A base
six inches high is made Of galvanized
sheet iron. This base slightly flares
toward the bottom and has two small
openings for ventilation in each of the
four sides. On the base rests boxlike
frame made of or 11k-inch strips
Of wood. The two sides are braced
with 1A-inch strips which serve as
cleats on which the trays in the drier
rest. These are placed at intervals OF
three inches. The frame is covered
with tin or galvanized sheet iron which
is tackled to the wooden strips of the
frame. Thin strips of wood may be
used instead Of tin or sheet iron. The
door Is fitted on small hinges and fas-
tened with thumb latch. 1t opens

easily. The bottom of the drier is
made Of a piece Of perforated galva-

Use Of Electric Fan.
The use Of an electric fan In facili-
tating drying is feasible for those who
already own fan. It has been found
that many sliced vegetables and fruits
placed in long trays three by one foot
and stacked in two tiers, end to end,
before an electric fan can be dried to
the requisite dryness within twenty
four hours. Some require much less
time. For instance. sliced string beans
and shredded sweet potatoes will dry
before a fan running at moderate
speed within few hours. In many
cities the electric fan will cost not
more than one-fourth Of cent an hour
to run. The fan should be placed close
to the stack Of trays, and they should
not be filled so full that the air cannot
pass freely through them. The fan
method has marked advantage in
that the product keeps cool owing to
evaporation while 1t IL being dried.

eliminate spoilage.

Civilized man equals brute animal
plus high brain development. Alcohol
blots out the "high brain development"
and leaves behind the brute animal.
Now, Of course, we don't mean to say
that when a person takes a drink Of
anything containing alcohol he Is re-
duced at once to brute animal; but
very few will dispute that a drunken
person Is not much better than brute
animal. And the reason he has been
reduced to such q state by the alcohol,
Is because before he can take enough
Of it to kill his body, he has had
enough to paralyze his brain, espe-
cially the highest parts Of his brain.
1t has paralyzed his power to think,
1t has paralyzed his power to Judge,
1t has paralyzed his power to control
his actions. The amount Of alcohol
which makes a person drunken. varies
with different people. Some can stand
very little, others q great deal. How
ever, even a very little. though It does
not show itself In drunkenness, has q
damaging effect on the brain. This IL
what We want to point out particular
ly. Too many people think that II they
drink alcohol In moderation, such, for
example. as three or four glasses Of
beer a day. or one or two drinks Of
whisky a day. they are not doing
themselves any harm at all. Very
many even think that they may safely
drink as long as they stop before get
ting drunk. These are very dangerous
and mistaken ideas to have. Drinking.
even In moderation, has dangers for
the brain and nerves. and steady drink.
