METHODSOFDRYING
Three Ways Applicable In Making
. Dried Products.
SHRED OR CUT INTO SLICES
When Artificial Heat lie TO Be Used,
Freshly Cut Fruits and Veaeta-
bles Should Be Exposed First
TO Gentle Heat.

From FARMERS BULLETIN Sal, United
States Department Of Agriculture.)
Three main ways of drying are APP
pllcable In the home manufacture of
dried fruits and vegetables, namely,
sun drying, drying by artificial heat,
and drying by air blast. These, Of
course, may be combined. In general,
most fruits or vegetables, to be dried
quickly, must first be shredded or cut
Into slices, because many are too large
to dry quickly or are covered with a
skin, the purpose of which is to pre-
vent drying out. When freshly cut
fruits or vegetables are to be dried by
means of artificial heat, they should
be exposed first to gentle heat and
later to the higher temperatures. If
the air applied at the outset is of too
high a temperature, the cut surfaces
Of the sliced fruits or vegetables be-
come hard, or scOrched, covering the
juicy interior so hat It will not dry
out. Generally it is not desirable that
the air temperature In drying should
go above 40 degrees to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, and 1t is better to keep 1t
well below this point. Insects and in
sect eggs are killed by exposure to
heat of this temperature.
Degree Of Heat.
1t is important to know the degree
of heat in the drier, and this cannot
be determined very accurately except
by using n thermometer. Inexpensive

READY RESPONSE
TO BOOK APPEAL
Big Publishers Are Heartily
in Favor of Move and Plan
Substantial Aid

Washington. The instant re-
United States to the appeal for ST.
100000 by the Library War Council,
appointed by the Secretary of the
War, the money to be used for the
purchase and equipment of Libraries
for our soldiers in cantonments and
at the front has been most gratify-
ing. With true patriotic fervor prac-
tically all the leading publishers of
America have written to the Library
War Council heartily endorsing the
plan and promising to help in all
ways in their power, not alone by
giving liberal discounts on books
that must be purchased, but in many
cases, Offering cash donations. Brief
extracts from some of the many
hundred letters received are their
own sufficient comment. Charles
Scribners Sons write: I'VE are
heartily in favor of such a move, as
1t seems to us most desirable and
important that the soldiers should
have the suitable entertainment
provided by ready access to good
reading" Harper and Brothers de-
clare: 1--WE feel this is one of the
most important things that can be
done for the general good of our
men who are going into camp" D.
Appleton and Company write: "It
would be difficult to estimate the
good which these Libraries instituted
in the large camps will accomplish
for the hundreds of thousands of
soldiers in the leisure they have from
their arduous campaign"
Dodd, Mead and Company cay:

tage to have the selection of books

scribed." The Princeton University
Press suggests: IF in addition to
raising a million-dollar fund for tho
Soldiers Library you are handling
the books themselves we shall be
glad to send you bundle of books

Co, say that These libraries will
be of great importance in helping

David Mckay writes: II thoroughly
approve of the plan" Henry Altemus
is sure that the plan will receive
encouragement everywhere" The
j. b. Lippincott Company write:
I'VE are much impressed with the
lasting as. well as the immediate
benefit of this book project" !"
Mitchell Kennerly says: IT have al
ready expressed my interest in the
plan to the extent of Offering Mr.. j.
4. Wyer, Jr., Chairman of the Com
mittee, a contribution of several
thousand volumes" Frederick A.
Stokes and Company announce that
1t is our intention to contribute to
the fund" G. p. Putnams Sons
aver: I'VE believe that the work
being done by the War Service Com
mittee of the American Library AS
sociation deserves the greatest form
or publicity. we are Interested in
cooperation with you to every ex-
tent" Thomas Y. Crowell and Com
pany say: I'VE trust the American
people will realize the importance
of furnishing good reading material
for the soldiers"
SO 1t can be seen that the men
who best know about the making
of books are in the forefront of the
campaign being waged by the Lii
brary War Council. Eminent librar-
ians have thought that the original
estimate of the cost of establishing
the proposed Libraries, at $1,000, 900
was too low; it seems now that goal
aimed at will be very largely over
subscribed.

SCHOLARSHIPS AS
EXTRA WAR GIFTS
Red Gross to Provide For
Public Health Nursing
Courses

Washington. announcement was
made to-day by the Town and County
Nursing Service of the American Red
Cross of a series of Public Health
Nursing Scholarships, donated by
chapters and individuals as special
war gifts. Miss Fannie Clement,
director of the bureau, made the
following statement
THE war experience of Europe
has emphasized the social need for
carefully trained nurses. who by
education and temperament, are pre-
pared for the patriotic service of
watching oyer the health standards
of n whole community. The Scholar
ships of $3.50 each that we now offer
cover an eight months course in
public health study at Columbia Uni
Nersity, New York City, Simmons
College, Boston. A similar course is
offered at the School of Applied
Social Science, Western Reserve
University, School of Nursing and
Health, University of Cincinnati and
the School of Civics and Philan-
thropy, Chicago.
THE sum of $3.50 is hardly suf-
ficent. of course, to cover the ex-
penses of the course. Each nurse,

legged where necessary, to utilize the
Student Loan Fund of the Red Cross
to an amount equal to the scholar
ship. The loan fund was established
several years ago in order that nurses
might be trained for Red Cross work
IN rural communities. Many of the
nurses so trained are now render
ing invaluable service, both in COM
munity and reconstruction work in
France, and in the public health
work in the zones around canton
ments.
AT this time. when the nursing
profession is giving so generously of
its talent to the base hospitals
abroad, it is important that the pro-
fession strengthen itself in order
that it may more extensively par
ticipate in the civilian relief at home
and in the foreign field. We need
young women to go into the hospital
training schools. And we need grad
uates from the hospital training
schools, who will fit themselves for
social service"
