BODIES OF TWO PICKED UP,
MAY HE HUNS, VICTIMS

BAR HARBOR. ME-, July 27.-The
bodies of L man and Il woman, dashed
together with rope, were picked up in
me haroor to-day by patrol boat OF
tho naval coast patrol reserve. They
were found hoating 100 yards below
tho breakwater.
The bodies had been in tho water
several days apparently and identin-
cation was believed impossible. They
were taken in charge by the county
medical examiner. Tho first suEges-
ton was that tho man and woman were
lost from some vessel that had been
attacked by an enemy submarine. This
was based on the boast of an officer
of the German submarine which sank
the Gloucester fishing schooner Robert
and Richard, off the coast Monday.
that they had sunk a big ship a few
days earlier and were in doubt as to
the fate Of the crew.

Dehydration Plant
Shows Its Value
Shipment Of Peppers Quickly

Things were humming at the dc
hydration plant IN the Second Market
yesterday afternoon. y practical dem,
onstration was being given by the
home demonstration forces i'm the con-
servation OF food products which would
otherwise have gone to waste
IN this instance 1t was Il matter OF
twenty bushels of sweet Bell" peppers
which had been shipped into Cren-
shaws market. on Cary street ana
the market being Elutted with peppers
city Food Inspector Noble would have
been forced To condemn the shipment
but for the timely intervention OF the
home demonstration forces. who
promptly agreed to take the peppers
aud dry them in the dchydrator on
a ffty-ifty basis with the consgnor
The crates Of peppers were forth
with sent over to tho plant in tn.
Second Market. and under the super
vision of Miss Laura Judd Bryan,
assistant home demonstration for Rich
mond who is in charge Of the PLAN:
thcy were sorted and prcpa rcd for dry
ing. -Four bushels were discarded, but
the remaining sixteen were cleaned and
seeded and spread out in the immense
shallow trays and placed in the de-
hydrator. where the circulation of dry
hot air soon did tho trick" for which
days OF sun on "A clean roof would
have been necessary To accomplish in
we days OF old"
When taken out Of the dchydrator
the twenty bushels Of peppers will look
more like half a barrel. but when they
are soaked over night in the long and
hitter winter months ahead they will
taste quite as we'll as il they had been
freshly canned. Some of the dried
product viii be put III spiced vinegar
by Miss Bryant 10 he used later in
the fall for fancy picking.
City Food Inspector Noble was also

carrots about which he was growing
uneasy. and these Will probably ba
dried later in tho week at the plant.
The home demonstration forces have
no money to spend buying food pro-
ducts from the market to dry in the
plant, but the value to the city of the
plant is being fully demonstrated in
instances like those just cited Of the
peppers and carrots.
Canning, preserving. picking. hrin-
ing and preserving eggs in water glass,
besides drying, is also done at The
plant. The array of these products is
a beautiful exhibition. Some OF TIN.

have been first dchydratcd until ready

WASHINGTON, July '27.-Although
thousands OF young men from civil life
are being assembled at the various
army camps in the United States every
week, the army medical corps * sue
cessfully meeting the task of dccreas-
. ing the sick rate The most recent
report shows slight increase in
pneumonia, but tht cases of the other
more serious diseases are becoming
less Just now every effort is being
made to devise new methods for COM
batting pneumonia and measles. II is
believed that better instruction to the
men in their choice OF wearing ap-
Nparel and in tho tricks of preventing
Itch contraction of colds after exercise
will do much toward reducing the
number OF pneumonia cases, Measles
however. still appear 10 be popular.
As yet no toxin has been discovered
which is fatal 10 the germ of measles.
AS a matter OF fact, out of the hum
dreds of cases OF measles reported for
the week ending July II. only one
proved fatal
The Southern and Southeastern
camps show the greatest sick rates.
Closely following them are the tw.
embarkation camps in Virginia. where
the men who arc to be left behind
because OF illness are sorted out. The
Southern camps have an average Of
twenty-six men in the hospital to every
1000 in camp. The Southeastern camis
have twenty-sevcn. the Eastern four
teen, the Northeastern fourteen. the
central thirteen and the Western
eighteen. The highest rate is at Camp
Wadsworth. at SpartanburE. s. T..
where the sick number POI in every
1000. The lowest rate was at Cam?
Cody. Deming, y. Y, where only six
men in 1000 were i'll.
During the first ten months of Amer
lean participation in the world war the
records of the American cXpcditionary
forces show that the rate of disease
mortality has been reduced to an cX
act parity with battle death rates. The
combine mortality of General Per-
yshinS's army. if projected throughout
a year, would be only "A little more than
half of the battle mortality and less
