HOME DRYING OF VEGETABLES.
Can be Done If Cans and Jars Be-
come too Expensive

Dry vegetables and fruits for win
ter use if tin cans and glass jars for
canning are scarce or expensive.
This is the advice of the specialists
of the u. s. department of agrlcuI-
ture who recently have studied the
possibilities Of conserving food TO
meet war needs in spite of any diff
culties that mayb be experienced In OBJ
tanning canning containers. Drying
was well-reeognized and successful
way of preserving certain foods De
fore canning came into general USE
the specialists point out, and modern
methods make it still more practIca-
bic than formerly, either IN the home
or by community groups.
METHODS OF DRYING.
Three methods of drying have been
found by the department specialists
to give satisfactory results. These
are sun drying, drying by artlhclaI
heat, and drying with air blasts, as
before an electric fan. Trays for dry
ing by any of these methods, as well
as tray frames for use over stoves or
before fans, can be made satlsfac-
torily at home Frames and trays Tor
use with artificial heat may be pur-
chased complete if desired.
Homemade trays may be made OF
side and end boards three-fourths OF
an inch thick and two inches wide,
and bottom boards of lathing spaced
one-fourth of an inch. If desired,
one-fourth inch galvanized wire mesh
may be tackled to the side and END
boards to form the bottoms OF the
trays. Frames for use with artificial
heat should be made of non-lnt1am-
mable material to as great an extent
as possible AS many as SIX trays
NAV be placed one above the other
when artificial heat is used. In dry
ing before a fan the number of trays
that may be placed one above the
other will depend, to large extent,
upon the diameter of the ian. In Dry
ing in the sun, trays as described may
be used or the products to be dried
may be spread on sheets OF paper or
muslin held in place by weights.
PREPARING PRODUCTS FOR
DRYING.
Vegetables and fruits will dry bet
ter if sliced. They should be cut IN
to slices one-fourth of an inch thick.
If thicker they may not dry thorough
ly. While drying the products should
be turned or stirred from time TO
time. Dried products should be
packed temporarily for three or four
days and poured each day from one
box to another to bring about thor
ough mixing and so that the whole
mass will have a uniform degree of
moisture. If during this condition
ing" any pieces of the products are
found to be too moist, they should be
rturned to the trays and dried fur
Their. When in condition, the prod
ucts may be packed permanently IN
tight paper bags, insect-proof paper
boxes or cartons, or glass or tin con-
tanners.

That it does not follow that be-

meet the situation with that spirit we

shaken Allies, do a tremendous work
before our armies begin to fight, and
so deliver tremendous punch,
straight from the American shoulder,
at German military power. The man
who grumbles at taxes and at the
call to subscribe will do well to keep in
mind the thought that if France and
Russia and England break down he
will be paying everything he has to

LITTLE ROSS GIRL
shot HERSELF
Louise, Five Year Old Daughter of
Banker Louis Evje, Died After
Accidentally Shooting Herself
With Automatic.

A terrible accident occurred at Ross,
Mountrail county, about six o'clock
Mondey evening, when little Louise,
the five year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis EVE, accidentally shot her
self with an automatic .25 calibre re-
volver, which she picked up in the
bank. The bullet tore through the
child's stomach, liver and lungs, and
she died in half an hour.
The child entered the First State
Bank, where her father holds the po-
sition of Cashier, and out of curiosity
picked up the automatic pistol which
her father keeps in the bank. The
revolver will not explode except when
the handle is pressed in certain way
and she must have pressed it just
right to explode it. There was loud
report and the little one fell in a
dying condition.
The accident has caused a pail of
gloom over the Ross country where
little Louise was popular. She was
a sweet little child and the sorrowing
parents have the sincerest sympathy
of host Of friends.
