titles Of material can be easily done,
provided that special care be given the
preliminary treatment OF the products.
All that Is necessary Is to make trays
Of wire screening, with one end Of each
or preferably both ends open. The
materials to be dried are spread thin
ly upon the trays, which are stacked
one upon another with the open ends
turned toward the fan and covered
with cheesecloth, and the fan Is placed
close to the end Of the stack and run
at moderate speed. thus driving Wig
OrOuS current Of air over the material.
Drying occurs much more rapidly at
the end nearest the fan, hence the
stack must be reversed after four to
six hours and again after q longer
interval.
All materials requiring blanching
that are to be fan-dried should be
blanched In steam or boiling water or
serious deterioration is likely to oc-
cur. Also, since the rapid, movement
Of air over the product has tendency
to dry out the surfaces of the pieces
while the inner, central portions are
still too moist, fan-drled material
should be placed In baking tins and
placed In the oven of a warm stove to
be finished. The door of the stove
should be left ajar and the fire so
regulated that the temperature is held
ut 80 to 160 degrees #. for two to
three hours. after which 1t should be
raised to $50 degrees #. for minute
or two In order to destroy any eggs Of
fruit insects which may have been de-
posted in the material while exposed

product may be placed In permanent
containers, but. should be examined
from time to time and returned to the
oven for short redrying In case any
parts Of IL appear to be too moist to
keep well.

HEATLESS MONDAY
Dorchester Observes The First of Ten
Such Holidays in Good Faith
] Factories And Stores Closed.

The factories and stores through
out Dorchester county joined with
the rest of the United States, East of
the Mississippi, Monday in observing
a heatless day, in order that the fuel
conserved might be used to help re-
lieve the railroad congestion and
help coal the ships carrying muni-
tions and supplies to the Allies.
Remarkable progress was made by
the railroads in clearing freight and
fuel congestion and getting idle cars
loaded, unloaded and on the move.
While a quarter of a million of Bal
timore's population enjoyed the en-
forced idleness of the first Heatless
Monday, the transportation lines OPP
Grated with frenZied haste.
In Baltimore alone the railroads
succeeded in bringing $50 cars of
coal to the terminals. One hundred
and thirty-two were 'unloaded. The
remainder were unloaded Tuesday.
In addition $50 cars of track deliv-
cry coal were placed. Sixty were
unloaded and the carriers dispatched
for active use.
Consignees have been asked by the
railroads to assist in getting freight
away from the terminals. Adverse
weather conditions have retarded the
work of the railroads to a great ex-
tent.

Administrator Garfield heatless

NEWSPAPERS HAVE MET
GREAT WAR TEST
No Deterioration i'll Service to PeO-
pie in Spite of Serious Economic
Problems Confronting Publishers
In Past Year-Newspapers Better.
(By Edward B. Mclean.

In my judgment the columns of
the great newspapers of today give
the strongest evidence of the good
that has come to them as the result
of the year of wartime stress thru
which they have passed. In meeting
successfully the difficulties presented
by failure of transportation facilities,
scarcity of materials and labor, and
in supplying the new and great de-
mand for news that can only be OBJ
tanned at largely increased expense,
the newspapers have proved them
selves worthy of the public conf
dence and support.
Conservation of their resources
was made Imperative but so wisely
has this been achieved that the press
may take pride in the fact that it is
one institution that has permitted
no deterioration in its service to the
people.
Sheer waste of white paper has
been largely curtailed, at the ex-
pense only of the trivial, the non
essential, and the sensational
Sacrificing none of it's traditional
enterprise and thoroughness, the
American press today admirably
meets the needs of a seriouS-minded
people bent on winning the greatest
war of all history. In other words,
the newspapers have increased their
expenditures of energy and money
and utilized them for putting into
American homes the vital daily story
of the progress of the world at war
This achievement, accomplished in
a few short months. surpasses all
others in newspaper history. The
newspapers of today, as a result of
their share in the nations trials, are
incomparably better than they were
a year ago.
The public demand will be for still
better newspapers, and that demand
will be welcomed and generously re-
sponded to by the country's newspa-
per producers. The problems of 1917
have been solved with only half an
effort. Publishers still have resour-
ces and ingenuity in reserve for
those of the new year, to which they
can look forward with confidence,
more especially since they may
count on the economic cooperation
of the Government, so well-earned
by their patriotism and constructive
service in the past
