The principle of dehydration particularly as applied to fruits has been known throughout the ages: bu, application of that principle in 8 thoroughly satisfactory way is very recent development Dehy- drated foods are natural products from which the water only has been removed. If the water is restored the product returns to condition so closely approaching that of the fresh that when ooked 1t is in all essentials comparable with the fresh. No chemicals are needed in the new process-no sulphur to bleach or dye to initiate the natural color.

----W. s. S.- A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE.

The German ambassador at Moscow has been assassinated and Gen. von Eichhorn, German military dictator in the Ukraine, has been blown to kingdom come. These murders have great significance. They represent the success with which Germans have conquered Russia. They are dread au- guries of the fate of other agents of the kaiser who seek to oppress the peoples of the world Murder is not warfare, but it is what the German have practiced and it is the fate that many Germans will suffer. There never would be peace even if Ger many conquered the world. Her sword would always have to be drawn, because some men who loved liberty better than life would always be talk ing pot shot at the agent of his iron master. Germany and the Germans will die as they have lived, by the sword.

The Subsistence Division of the Quarter masters Department of the Army has purchased several thousand tons of dehydrated products for use In France.
 Dehydration reduces bulk from one third to one-f1fth and weight from sixth to one-twelth.
 This process will conserve great quantities of vegetables and fruits that would otherwise go to waste. It will, through the use of mechanical devices. eliminate waste from trim- ming. pairing. coring, avoid unneces- sary handling. and be an enormous saving in tonnage, and at the same time lose nothing in attractiveness and palatability.

A woman was approached by con- mittee of women selling War Savings Stamps. She listened with an air of tolerance while members of the con- mitted tried to tell her why she should subscribe. linen when they had fin ished, she said:
 "No thank you, don't believe l care for any" And she smiled in diligently and closed the door. Heav- en help such a thoughtless, selfish creature. It's safe bet that none of her relatives are in the army. She is one of the brand of nonchalants that puts self above everything else.
 No thought of war, no feeling for the man who is battling for her liber- ty, no desire to help, no foresight, and blissfully ignorant for what the future will be if the American army fails of it's mission in France. Only the sight of detachment of lustful, brutal Germans and her home in flames would awake such a woman to a reali- zation of what could be.
 A well-to-do man refused to buy stamps because he said Liberty Bonds were the best investment. Many oth- CTS say the same thing. That is not 3 reason. It is an excuse. They sit at home in perfect safety while half the people of the nation are struggling either on the battle line of in the fac tories to protect them.
 The county is delinquent because such people as that woman and that man are slackers. They are worse than the men who tries to evade mill tary service because he is liable tt lose his life in battle. They are not.
 Maybe they don't think what it al means. But such ignorance, while blissful, also is criminal.
 We may as we'll make up cur minds to this fact: If we don't buy govern ment securities the government is go ing to have to raise our taxes. Ther, is no return on taxes. There is ol government securities. The none. we pay out for taxes never come back to us. The money we invest il U. s. bonds CT securities comes bacl and brings more with it. You ma, x take your choice.

London, April12.-South of Armen tielTes, according to the evening pa pers, the enemy have forced cross ing over the Lye and Lave rivers, and attack which may be dangerous. He is pushing generally westward The capture of Mervile represents an advance of about seven miles over flat country, and under normal con- dtions would not be serious, but to the north the British are holding a comparatively strip between their front and the coast, which contains very important railway functions, etc., therefore an advance of seven miles there is much more serious than twice that distance further south. The evening papers declare that the Brit ish army has again reached definite crisis and the present situation is un- doubtedly unpleasant.

London. April 12-lreland has talk zen a step nearer to home rule. The Irish convention which met at Dublin for eight months considering the problems besetting Ireland, has sub mitted to the British parliament a plan, which. while not the unanimous decision of the parliament, represents a basis for agreement on some of the questions that in the past have pre- vented all the parties from Ireland from acting in harmony.
 The plan calls for an Irish parlia- ment modelled after that of the em- pire, the authority of which would not be diminished, an executive responsi- ble to it with full power over internal administration, and direct taxation also is provided. To meet objections from Unionists it is agreed that 40 per cent representation in the propos- ed parliament will be guaranteed them by the dominant NatiOnalists.
 Minority reports were submitted by the Unionists and the minority faction of the Nationalists.
