Ing tanlac and my Improvement is the

popular conductors on the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad, who resides at

suffered so from nervousness and ca
tarrh of the head that 1 couldn't get
more than two or three hours sleep
a night. My head was stopped up all
the time, my mouth was dry and hot
and l had a continual dripping of mu-
cous back into my throat. My stom-
ach became affected and 1 couldn't dl-
gest what ate. had the most dread
full headaches imaginable and while /
tried number of different medicines
/ kept getting worse.
my stepfather In Lima, Ohio, told
me about Tanlac doing him so much
good and advised me to try 1t and I'm
certainly glad I took his advice, for
three bottles have about made a new
woman out of me. l have not had
headache since / started taking Tanlac
and the catarrh is so much better that
hardly notice 1t any more. My stom-
ach is in splendid condition now and
1 can eat and digest anything 1 want
and am feeling just about as strong
and well as l ever did. / have i'm
proved so much that my friends are al,
talking about it, and several of them
are now taking it."

three-inch space In the back. The
other trays alternate in the same way.
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-
lowed so that currents of air will pass
over the product as well as up through
1t, gathering the moisture and passing
away. The movement of the current
of air induces more rapid and uni
form drying. The upper trays can
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 very slow oven or on the
back of the cookstove and saved for
winter use. If 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 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
placed In framework one above the
other. forming compartment through
which the heated air rises. carrying off
the moisture. The second type con-
sists of shallow fiat metal box filed
with water and designed so that one
end can rest on the back of the stove

DRYING IN The sun
Have All Fruits and Vegetables
Properly Prepared.
SIMPLE APpARATUsFOR WORK
Bright, Hot Sunny Days Are Best, and
Close Watch Should Be Kept That
Rain or Dew Does Not Hit
Product-Avoid Insects

(From FAIRNESS BULLETIN s4l, United
States Department of Agriculture-)
The drying of fruits and vegetables
in the sun is a simple process If they
have been prepared properly. In its
simplest form such drying consists In
spreading the freshly prepared slices
or pieces on sheets of paper. or, If
there is danger OF the products stick
ing, spreading on old pieces of muslin
held down with stones. Bright, hot,
sunny days are chosen for this work,
and close watch is kept to see that
no rain or dew vets the product. If
flies and other insects are abundant, a
mosquito bar Is thrown over the prod
uct. Once or twice a day the slices
are stirred or turned over with the
hand and the thin ones which dry first
are taken out Sun drying has much to
recommend it, since 1t requires no ex-
penditure of fuel and there is little
danger of the product becoming over
heated. Dust, however, gathers on the
product, and, unless 1t is protected
carefully, flies. and especially certain
insects which habitually attack dried
fruits. will Iay their eggs upon It,
lhtSt eSSS luleT VIII HulCu out, anu
the worms, or larvae, will riddle the
dried fruits or vegetables, rendering
them unfit for the table.
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 a cover made of oilcloth,
canvas or roofing paper.
A very cheap tray can be made of
strips of lumber three-fourths of an
inch thick and two inches wide, which
form the sides and ends, and lath,
which is nailed on to form the bottom.
Spaces one-eighth inch wide should be
left between the laths for ventilation,
and the traps cen be raised off the
ground by placing them on poles or an
improvised trestle. AS laths are four

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 fan running at moderate
speed within n 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 filed 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 is being dried.
thus tending to retain the color and
eliminate spoilage.

properly observe the coming Gen.
tenary anniversary of the states ad-
mission into the Union. Hon. II. l..

will not be very elaborate it will be
patriotic and instructive. Prof.
Dabney Lipseomb, vice-president of
the college, who ranks high as
historian, will give a brief history
of the state and there will be other
interesting features.
The local public schools will, it is
understood, also have appropriate

sary.
