Macon, Ga. May 5.--The battle of
Billy Goat hill may not be recorded
In history as one of the decisive ac-

guns each brought into use at first
a few shots succeeded in getting the
range of the enemy's guns, according
to information telephonad from the

AS soon as the range was found a
rain of shrapnel was dropped around

DEHYDRATED VEGETABLES.

The matter of dehydrated vege
tables is now up for practical and i'm
mediate action" says Mrs Stanley
Mccormick, head Of the food produc-
tion department of the womans com
mittee of the council. of national de
tense.
TO save the quantities of vegcta-
bles that 20 TO waste every year and
80 get them into small enough bulk, SO
that our crowded railways can trans
port them--therc is the problem. De
hydration is the solution.
Vegetables are from 70 to 90 per
cent water. Dehydration is a simple
process. which removes the water and
leaves the food. The vegetables are
reduced to a small portion Of their
or ginal bulk; are easy To pack. ship
and keep. The saving in trausporta
ron space and charges is enormous
The water is put back into the vege-
tables in the consumers own kitchen
by soaking.
This is thoroughly practical
proposition It viii increase the food
supply. and. furthermore. it viii help
to lower the cost OF living, because the
price per pound of food IN dehydratcd
vegetables is lower than in canned
vegetables.
In the food crisis which We now
face in common with the whole world
We must exert every effort TO lessen
our use of certain of our staple foods
II for part Of our cereal. meat and
sugar foods we can have an abundant
inexpensive supply of vegetables and
fruit on which to draw, we shall then
have sufficient foodstuffs to provide
old and young with the nourishment
required for health and strength.
while the surplus of our staples is
made available for those who need 1t
more than we do-the allied peoples
and our own boys abroad

Among the bright and beautiful hats that are assembled and displayed for the benefit of those who go to the south in January there are always some models that may be worn in the North.

They are not summer hats and They are not winter hats; they are h ts that are adaptable to any cline.
