Canning and Packing For VIM
ter's Use Explained In Detail by
National War Garden Experts.
DRYING PUMPKIN

Pumpkins are bulky vegetables to
store-why not try something new
this year and dry them? It requires
a sharp knife, some elbow grease
a little common sense and sunshine.
The free drying manual which the
National War Garden Commission,
Washington, will send in return for
a two-cent stamp gives detailed di-
rections for drying fruits and vege-
tables.
There are two ways of preparing
pumpkin for drying and both are
satisfactory. Cut into one-half inch
strips, pare and clean. Blanch three
minutes. Cold dip, remove surface
moisture by pressing between clean
towels, and spread on drying traps,
platters. or dripping pans. Spread a
sin gle thickness of paper or thin
rIuslin first. The drying time is three
to four hours, starting at 110 degrees
F. and raising gradually to lao de-
grees F. The pumpkin may be cut in
rings instead Of strips. and these
rings hung up over the kitchen stove
or in the sun. Unless the air is very
dry, the time required will be longer
if the drying is done in the sun than
in a drier, but less watching is nee
essary and the product will have an
excellent flavor. The commission
will be glad to answer any questions
written on one side of the paper and
sent in self-addressed stamped

ing on here?" he asked, referring to
the tragedy in the house: had Syl-
vester lost his mind?"
He asked me for full particulars,
which gave him. Then he told mo
that he really believed Sylvester had
become insane because he had heard
that some time before the doctor had
struck his head violently against
sharp point of low chandelier and
perhaps the blow had injured mis-
brain.
I told him that I planned to move
my Office.
Yes, Davis, I suppose you will
wish to do that" he replied, but
hope you won't go above the ground
floor. I don't like to have to go up
stairs"
Two or three months later I Sc
cured suitable place in the Lennes-
trasse, overlooking the Tiergarten,
and apparently my quarters were not
came to me regularly during the
three years that l remained there.
My office faced the park and was
located in the ground floor. The
Kaiser and many other of my more
distinguished patients, knew, would
not care to risk observation from q
house on the opposite side of the
street. and l kept that in mind when.
at the expiration of my lease,
moved to Koeniggraetzer Strasse in
| 1908 and to the corner of Tiergarten
| strasse and Bender strasse in 1911.
At the end of the year after Syl-
vester's death l received a personal
call from the Kaiser's household doc
! tor asking me to submit a bill to the
| Kaiser for my professional services.
I knew that Sylvester had never rem
dered the Kaiser a bill, and I told
! the doctor that I preferred not to tio
! so. II appreciate the honor of treat
ing the Kaiser" I said, and I dc
not care 10 put in a bill for my
work" I knew he had given Syl-
vester presents from time to time,
| although never anything of any in
| trinsic value, but was aware that ]
! had hard work ahead to rebuild Syl-
vester's practice and that the pres
| tige of having the Kaiser come to
my Office would be great help.
But the Kaiser wishes it," the
| doctor persisted, and besides every
one else is paid-the Kaiser pays his
doctors. why shouldn't he pay mis-
! dentist?"

deal than my patient. I recollect
clearly how the mouth-mirror rat
tied against his teeth when / in
serted it in his mouth the first time
because my hand shook so violently.
Perhaps the fact I was then only %
years old partially accounts for my
nervousness on this occasion.
When it was all over the Kaiser
got out of the chair and shook hands
with me again, and then, catching a
glimpse of my pale countenance, de-
clared:
We'll, young man, you'd better go
out and eat a beefsteak that thick"
and he indicated with his thumb and
finger a thickness of about two
inches.
Six times that month the Kaiser
came to ME, but his subsequent visits
never disturbed me. I was never
again ill at ease in his presence. On
the contrary, looked forward to his
coming because of the extremely in
teresting views he almost invariably
expressed.
On January 10, 1905, Sylvester
failed to make his appearance in his
office, and as I wanted to speak to
him regarding an X-ray picture for
q
fee, I went to look for him.
I found him in bed covered in
blood. In his hands was a long pis-
tol with gold-plated barrel and a
pearl handle. He had shot himself
through the head. His failing health
and an accumulation of debts had
caused him deep depression for some
time, but I had had no idea that il
would lead TO that, and the tragedy
was a great shock to me.
The passing of Dr. Sylvester lef:
me in full charge of his depleted
practice. I was not at all sure thai
the Kaiser would continue as my
patient. There were now a number
of able German as we'll as many
American dentists practicing in Ber.
lin, and I thought that the Kaiser
would, perhaps, select one of then
now that Sylvester was gone.
A day or two after the tragedy
however, ] was looking out of the
window when the Kaiser, walkine
with two officers, passed my house
and. observing me at the window
waved his hand in such a friendly
manner that concluded he intended
to come 10 me as usual.
Two or three weeks later he die

WE ALL know the pessimist-
wv have suffered by his spleen.
w We all know the optimist-
are glad to come into contact with
him. AS Robert Louis Stevenson
says somewhere. when such a per-
son enters a room, it is as If another
candle had been lighted.
And the foundations of the de-
terminating attitude toward life are
laid in childhood.
You as a parent are laying the
foundations.
Pessimists are simply grown-up
children who have never been
taught in childhood not to whine
and complain.
Let us take an example. A
mother said to me:
My little boy 6k years old
whines nearly all the time. 1t
seems as If he hardly can speak
without whining. What can l
do to get him to overcome this
bad habit?
Your whining child should be
treated something like this: The
first time he says anything in a
whining tone. pay no more attention
TO him than If he had not uttered a
word. About the second time he
runs over the same thing. turn your
face toward him, look him squarely
in the eye and say, Come here"
When he comes to your knee. say
rather slowly. II will not listen to
little boys who whine. any more. If
you want me to hear you, you must
talk without the whine. Now what
is it you wanted to tell me? Smile
Immediately after saying this and
no matter what he says. smile again
and say, There. that's better"
II you treat him this way for a
few days. the whining will entirely
disappear. 1t is simply a bad habit.
Let him understand that you will
not recognize his wants when he
whines and. further. that you will
not permit his whining.
While you are trying to cure him.
be sure to approve him 8 great deal

Next door to my boyhood home.
in Piqua. Ohio, there lived a Ger
man named Diffenbacher. He was
rather a grouchy individual and none
of us had ever had very much to do
with him.
Nevertheless, when. in 1898, I was
preparing to leave home. and the Of
fee of DR.. E. S. Fuller. whereyl had
been working and studying TO take
up the dental course at Lake, Forest
University. Chicago. ILL.,, this man
Diffenbacher came TO say good oy,
and a remark he made at the, time
has always impressed me as having
had a most uncanny significance in
view of later developments, al
though, of course, l realize 1t must
have been purely a coincidence.
II hear you are going away to
study dentistry" he declared, in
rather broken English.
Yes, that's So" replied.
We'll. wish you luck. DR.. Evans,
the dentist, who recently died in
Paris, he was dentist % Napoleon
III. He was an American, too. l
prophesy that one day you will be
( dentist to The Kaiser"
I didn't pay much attention to his
suggestion at the time. but it came
back to me rather strongly day or
two later, when, in conversation with
| DR.. Truman w. Brophy. the Dean OF
| the Chicago Dental College, he said
/ he saw great opportunities for Amer
/ Jean dentists in Germany and advised
| me to take up the study of German,
Whether it was with these things
| in mind or not / do not now recall,
! but it is n fact that while I was still
a dental student I organized class
in German at the Hull House and
four other students and myself plug
ged away at the language for three
or four months.
During MY first vacation while at
| college, went to New York to get
more practical experience in den
tistry and became assistant 70 DR..
NJ. L. Rheim and it was through this
connection that the opportunity to
practice abroad subsequently came
to me.
I graduated from college in 1902
and established myself in Chicago.

ing up to the house now? Well go
up together. Well" falling into step
with Butler as he started from the
orchard-"Im returning to the wild
and woolly west tonight, you know.
He went on to explain that he had
received a telegram calling him back
to Chicago.
AT first I was sorry. but. after
all. I don't mind getting into the
harness again." he remarked. I
was wondering just now, when l
saw Miss Moore sitting there read
ing a book by George Eliot, how
women can be satisfied to sit quiet
and read that kind of thing. never
care much about books. By the way.
what do you think of George Elliott"
Butler looked at him, puzzled.
Why should this chap try to discuss
literature
"why-just what most people
think, I suppose" he said, that she
was a very remarkable woman.
Don't you think so?"
"Why-why-yes yes, of course
So that was his break! George
Eliot was a woman! And he had
spoken to that girl about his
stuff".
The blood rushed to his head. He
was mortified. He was also angry.
Elizabeth had made him appear ri
diculous. He would never forgive
her.
Well. she would behave in n diff
ferent way when she knew what
he knew about her! And. II he
could, he would intimate to Butler
that his friend" Douglas Wade.
was playing a game that no decent
chap would stoop to.
He would show them that all it
was not safe to make an enemp OF
him-Clifford Chaplin!

BY ARTHUR n. DAVIS, D. d. S

About a year and a half later I re-
ceived an invitation from DR.. Rhein
to go to New York to meet DR.. AL
onzo H. Sylvester, an American dem
tist practicing in Berlin, and who
numbered the Kaiser among his pa
tients. He had come to America TO
select an associate because his Gail-
ing health made it impossible for
him to give his practice the attention
it demanded.
1t. is needless to say the receipt of
this message brought old. Diffen-
bacher's remark back to me with
renewed force, but even then l did
not. realize how accurate his prop
hecy was to prove.
Dr. sylvester had been in New
York three weeks interviewing i
pumber of dentists but he had found
no one to fill the position. The pos
sibilities he held out to me were most
alluring, but Germany seemed very
far away, and l allowed him TO re-
turn to Germany without definite
acceptance of his proposition from
me. Some days later, however. l de-
cided to accept it and cabled him ac-
cordingly.
1 sailed on September Is, 1908
arriving in Berlin on the gath.
DR.. Sylvester, | found, had peer
the Kaiser's dentist for more thar
twenty-five years, having treated
him ever since he was a boy. A. the
time. dentistry in Germany had no
yet attained the dignity of profes
sion-indeed, the German dentist o.
! that period was hardly beyond th'
barber class-and American dentists
were in general favor throushou
| Europe.
The success of American dentist:
abroad dates back to the time of Ma.
poleon III, when DR.. Thomas w
Evans. the Emperor's dentist, no
only earned q wonderful reputation
for himself professionally, but PLAYED
a most important part in European
politics. 1t was through his advice
and influence that the French re.
mained neutral during our Civi
War, and when the second French
Empire collapsed the Empress }1u'
genie made her escape through the
gates of Paris in a carriage with DR.
Evans, disguised as his assistant.
DR.. Evan accumulated a fortune
of several millions of dollars through

in his play. Let him see how far he
can jump, and no matter how short
the distance, encourage him and
praise him for his effort. A little
of this sort of thing put into your
routine will help you in quickly
and effectively overcoming the bad
habit.
II have daughter nine years
DID, writes another mother,
who has the habit of complain
ing. She has a very sensitive
disposition and she is forever
grum bling about some ailment.
If not that, it is som ething else.
Please tell me how to overcome
this tendency"
This girl needs to have less
attention paid to her when she COM
plains. She should be neither scold-
ed for complaining nor sympathized
with in the least in regard to that
about which she complains. When
she makes a complaining remark
act as If you had not heard.
Keep her time filed with whole
some activity. Give her something
else to think about beside her little
imaginary ailments. Encourage her
to play out doors as much as posi-
BILE and to take a great deal of ex-
erclSe- interest ner In help1ng you
with the housework.
Approve her a great deal both on
how much she is able to do for you
and on how well she does the work.
Talk and joke with her while work
ing together so that she has a really
good time. Be optimistic, yourself;
your daughter gradually will become
so. Watch for improvement and
whenever you see any. tell her about
1t.
When child follows its mother,
whining and complaining, the ma
tural impulse Is to say: "Oh, my
dear child. you just worry the life
cut of mother! Can't you sit down
and be still a minute? Why don't
you go outside and play a while ?
But this only aggravates the habit.
The positive method suggested is the
only satisfactory one.
