There is another way to prepare these dried
vegetables that makes them as easy to serve
as the canned goods.
Cook and grind the vegetable, spread the
paste on dryer and get crumbling cake of
dry paste. When soaked short time the
vegetable is SOFT and, as it has already been
cooked, it can be used at once in soup or gravy
or croquettes. For busy woman who prides
herself on good meals prepared without "fuss,"
this Is great factor, and a meat chopper is
found in her kitchen close to the evaporator
The vegetable should be as fresh as possible

use Granger. This pan-like device has
hot water underneath the drying surface to
insure an even temperature and prevent burn
ing. Over the whole drying surface the pulp
can be spread to depth of half an inch. It
must be turned from time to time with pan
cake turner or large ladle to insure even drv-
ing and hasten the process. Under ordinary
conditions the vegetable pastes will dry in
two and one-half hours. If the paste is thick
er on the tray it will take from three to three
and one-half hours. The paste when drv
should be in hard kernels. This differs from
sliced vegetables, which have a slightly rub
berry feeling when dried sufficiently.

Good Reading and
Good Eating

CAROLINE KINGS COOK BOOK. By Caroline B.
King. Little, Brown & Co., publishers. Price,
$1.50.
w linz line .;1 King e. has asa; achieved the near i'm
sound and original. The scheme Of the book is
to give fundamental principles of good cookery
first, the typical recipe, or the mother" formula
as the author calls it, for bread cake, sauces,
salad dressing, souffies and the like, and from
this sound base the imagination may safely take
flight and evolve any number of variations.
For instance you have foundation formulas for
white sauce, the mother" sauce and brown sauce
from which almost endless number of savory
sauces may be evolved In the same way the
cake mixtures are analysed, and foundation
formulas given for the simple butter cake, white
cake, pound cake, gingerbread and sponge cake.
The foundation principles for cooking yepe-
tables are covered, and nothing can be more i'm
portant, for how much water is used, whe hether it
Is boiling or not when vegetables should be salted
whether they are cooked covered uncovered
makes all the difference in the world and de-
termnes whether have savory, succulent
dish food that is stringy, watery and taste
less. IT. is partly the fault Of poor cooking that
vegetables are unappreciated in this country.
Caroline Kings Cook Book" is good book
to have on the kitchen shelf for reference but
it also makes remarkably interesting reading
page for page, because the principles the WHY'S
and wherefores, are skilfully worked in with the
plain directions and recipes which ordinarily
make cook book about interesting reading as
a dictionary or a statistical report.

watchwords be DRY thoroughly" "Keep COW
ered,' "Protect from dampness."
Carrots and turnips treated in this way can
be soaked an hour in little water and added
to meat or rice croquettes, or used in milk
sauces or gravies. A tablespoonful of dried,
ground carrot is enough to flavor a good gravy,
or sauce, for six people,
Squash or pumpkin can be handled in the
same manner. When pie is to be made, soak
the vegetable an hour or so, and treat it as if
it were just freshly cooked and had been put
through the colander.
If you have garden, and peas are getting
ripe faster than the family can eat them, or
you order them from the market, and are unex-
pectedly dining out, save them for future
purees in this way: Cook them until tender in
boiling water. Rinse in cold water. Run

that there were four ways to serve

The last is a harder job than the first for the
average man, who has lived these many years
on bread and meat and pastry. Fighting and
meat eating seem to be natural; peace and
vegetable eating are acquired characteristics.

bread with one hand and preserving the do
mestic peace with the other. The home fires

There are things and things to be done with
vegetables that we have never done before.
However, the busy women who have to pre-
pare them sometimes object as strenuously to
vegetable dinner as do the meat-loving men
who have to eat it. "1t takes forever to make
soups from fresh vegetables" at takes so
long to prepare vegetables, and it is such dirty
work" "There is waste in buying them be-
cause some are sure to spoil before they can
be used up" These are some of the objections
