are many ways Of preparing these
vegetables. Here are a few suggest

crumbs. Remove from the oven and

SHIPPING THREE MEALS A DAY

In the old days on the farm, the
farmers wife used to ring a big din
ner bell at noon time which called
all the laborers in from the fields to
be fed. Since her entrance into the
war America has been like the farm
er's wife in the kitchen trying to get
ready enough food to supply the ma
tons who are laborers in the cause
of freedom. America, however, can
not call the workers in to sit at her
table. She must pack up the food and
send it to them. Three times a day
millions of men on the battle fields
three thousand miles away must be
fed. The dinner pals in this case
are the ships.
How has America shipped these
three meals? She has increased her

for two persons to share a room. The

A "DRY" STORY

What do you women really want to
know about the drying of fruits and
vegetables? You know the general
Notwithstanding, drying over the
stove, the use of the commercial drier.
But some questions have probably
troubled you.
For example, the directions tell you
to blanch vegetables before drying
them. Is this always necessary? 1t
is, if you wish to preserve the sweet
flavor Gas you do in peas and corn. for
example), If you wish to preserve the
color of the vegetables and to keep
them from getting tough. Preserving
The sweet flavor of peas and corn is
an interesting point. While they are
growing there Is a process going on
which forms sugar in them. This pro-
cess depends upon the sunlight. At
the same time, something in the plant
which we call an engine is changing
the sugar into starch. Unless we stop
this engine in some way, il will go
right on changing the sugar to starch
after the peas or corn are picked.
Blanohing-that %plunging into boiling
water for a few minutes-stops the
engine action and the sweet flavor of
the vegetables is preserved. So also
in string beans there is IN engine
which is responsible for the tough
ening of the pod as it grows. This
t%oughening goes right on after the
beans are picked unless we make the
engine inactive. Blanching also de-
stroys this engine. In every day Ian
guage, we should simply say that
blanching keeps the vegetable from
getting tough. and keeps it's sweet
flavor when it has one.
Another point in connection with
blanching is that any slicing of a veg
etable should be done after blanch-
ing, not before. If the flesh of the
vegetables is broken and the whole

valuable mineral matter will be lost.
To know when the food is dry enough
takes some practice. Vegetables
should be rather brittle, but not so
dry as to snap or crackle, and fruits
rather leathery and pliable. One
method of determining whether fruit
is dry enough is to squeeze a hand
full. III the fruit separates when the
hand Is opened, it is dry enough. An
other way Is to press a single piece,
and IL no moisture ome to the sur
lace the piece is sufficiently dry. Der.
ries are dry enough If they stick to
the hand but do not crush when
squeezed. Raspberries particularly
should not be dried too hard, as this
will keep them from resuming their
natural shape when soaked in water
for use. Material will mould If it is
not dry enough so 1t is a very import
ant point to consider. When dried
fruits are used they should be cooked
in the same water in which they are
soaked. Thus no food matter is lost.
