DRYING PUMPKIN

Pumpkins are bulky vegetables to
store-why not try something new this
year and dry them? 1t requires a
sharp knife, some "elbow grease" a
little common sense, and sunshine.
There are two ways of preparing
pumpkin for drying, and both are sat-
isfactory. Cut into one-half inch
strips, pare and clean. Blanch three
minutes. Cold dip, remove surface
moisture by pressing between clean
towels, and spread on drying trays,
platters or dripping pans. Spread a
single thickness of paper or thin mus
lin first. The drying time is three to
four hours, starting at 10 degrees F.
and raising gradually to 14O degrees F.
The pumpkin may be cut in rings in
stead of strips. and these rings hung
UP over the kitchen stove or IN the
sun.
Unless the air is very dry. the time
required will be longer if the drying
is done in the sun than in drier. but
less watching is necessary and the
product will have an excellent flavor.

FEARS GERMANY MAY
WIN WORLDS TRADE

That Germany will win the war by
a trade victory if peace is made upon
the abdication of the Kaiser, even
with the enormous indemnities which
she will be compelled to pay, is the
burden of an argument put out in
pamphlet form by the American De-
tense Society and written by Charles
Stewart Dawson, chairman Of the So
ciety's Board of Trustees. He says,
in part:
"Germany's war is openly and
avowedly a commercial war. She
started it, as she has repeatedly said,
for a place in the SUM- She seeks
commercial expansion. Neither is her
submarine campaign for the mere
pleasure of numbering, but quite
avowedly for the purpose of diminish
ing the gross amount of the world
tonnage.
Germany knows that once military
operations are over it will be impos-
sibIe to keep the Allies together for
the purpose of insisting on CONNER
cial protection being enforced against
her, unless it be agreed upon before
hand She breads such an agreement,
and therefore hurries peace proposals.
Even gigantic payments, if stretched
over a hundred years, can be advan-
tageously made by Germany If she be
allowed to retain unimpaired the COM
mercial supremacy which she has es-
tablished by rapine, and she counts
on war weary world TO say, when
the end comes, that these considera-
lions are minor matters in COMPARE
son with what will mistakenly be con-
sidered to have been success, mere
military defeat Of her army. We
should stand out for the rehabilita-
ton of France, Belgium, and other
lands by Germany's workmen as an
essential condition, and her machin-
cry must be taken to replace that de-
stroyed."

RABBITS FOR MEAT SUPPLY

Rabbits, which have proved val
liable food source in Europe during
the present war, may well be raised
more extensively in America to reduce
the drain on the ordinary meat supply,
according to biologists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. me
animals may, be raised in back yards
of cities and towns as well as on
farms.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rab-
bits are recommended for meat pro-
duction. as the ordinary tame rabbit
is smaller and develops more slowly.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat hay,
grass, lawn cuttings and green vege-
tation of many kinds.
The department has published Dul-
letin on raising rabbits, which viii be
helpful to persons who wish to en-
gage in this pursuit.

ONLY ONE XMAS BOX
Gifts For Soldiers Oversee Must Be
Sent Through Red Cross

There is only one way to send
Christmas gifts to United States SOL
diers overseas, and the rules and re-
strictions governing the packing and
forwarding of parcels must be strict
" adhered to by relatives and friends
of the boys "over there" To con-
serve cargo space, it is necessary to
limit the number, size and weight of
Christmas parcels for our soldiers
abroad We now have approximately
100000 soldiers on foreign soil, and
if each receives one of the three
pound parcels allowable by the War
Department the total weight will be
5000 tons, and 100000 of these boxes
which appear so very small to those
who wish to make their soldiers happy
at Christmas, would fill space so
feet wide, 10 feet high and $50 feet
long.
The American Red Cross has entire
supervision and control of the hand
ling of all overseas Christmas parcels,
acting for and in cooperation with
the Post Office Department and the
War Department, and mistakes and
confusion may be avoided only by OBJ
serving to the letter the following
rules:
The War Department will not per-
NIT more than one parcel to be sent
to any soldier overseas.
All gifts must be packed in the Off
cial cardboard carton, three by four
by nine inches in size, the weight not
to exceed two pounds, fifteen ounces
when filed.
These cartons are obtainable only
at the Red Cross distributing and col
lecting centres or stations established
in various convenient localities and
can be secured only upon presenta-
ton of an official personal label re-
ceived direct from the soldier him
self. These labels are expected to
arrive about November l.
When filed the carton must be re-
turned, unwrapped, with the label, to
the Red Cross station, where its con-
tents will be examined, the parcel
weighed and wrapped and the label
with the soldiers address affixed by
Red Cross attendants, with whom it is
to be left for forwarding, the sender
to pay postage to Hoboken, n. ].
(seven cents for the maximum weight
of three pounds.
Letters or written notes must not
be enclosed with gifts, but Christmas
cards with names of individual send
ers may be enclosed. No parcel will
be accepted which contains articles
barred by the postal authorities or
the War Department. Unavailable ar
ticles include matches, cigarette light
ers and all infiammable or explosive
materials, poisons, liquids of all kinds.
No glass or other fragile articles

Y. M. c. A AND
K.OF c. SUPPLY NEEDS

That it is impossible for any Gov
eminent organization to fulfill the
mission of supplying the soldiers and
sailors wants as do the seven welfare
organizations combined in the United
War Work Campaign is the statement
of Lieutenant-G General Francis Lloyd
of the British Army, commanding the
London district, in a statement just
made public. Lord Miner, Secretary
of State for War, also endorses this
view with a statement that the Ameri-
can fighters have shown the benefits
of having these welfare agencies with
them.
II am very happy to testify to the
excellence of the work of the Y. NJ c..
A. and kindred institutions in train
ing camps" stated General Lloyd.
These institutions supply want and
a very great want, which it is impos-
sible for any Government organiza-
ton to fulfill. The comfort which is
provided and the possibility for men
to spend their leisure time in quiet
and reading or writing is of untold
significance, not only on their we'll
being but in other and more far
reaching ways"
Il do not think it possible to over
rate the work of the Y. NJ C. A. in
providing a civilized and humane
background for troops in the battle
field" said Lord Miner" / have seen
and admired its work. The great
American Army has already benefited
by the American Y. NJ. c. A., and as
its forces increase that work must de-
velop enormously. / wish every sue
cess to the appeal to the generosity of
the American people"

SUBSTITUTE FOR HOME
WHILE IN THE FIELD
American Welfare Organization Is
Thanked BY Premier Of
France

Thanks to the American Welfare
organizations for giving to the French
Army a substitute for home while in
the field are conveyed in a letter by
Georges Clemmceau Premier of France
to Emmanuel Sautter, director-gen-
eral of the Foyers du Soldat, just
made public. The Foyers are financed
by the American Y. NJ. G. A. which
furnishes also half of the workers.
Mr.. Clemenceau expresses sincere
hope for the success of the financial
drive which the Y. NJ c. A. is making
in connection with six other organi-
cations in the United War Work Cam
paign. His letter follows:
1T gives me great pleasure TO
testify my profound appreciation and
that of the entire French army, to the
work that has been accomplished by
the Foyer du Soldat of the Franco
American Union. Your Foyers con-
stantly established in increasing
numbers, as great at the front as in
the rear, have rendered our soldiers
most highly appreciated service.
Thanks to your efforts our children
have found in your midst center Of
distraction and comfort In every
way that was possible, with touching
delicacy and unceasing devotion, the
Foyer du Soldat has succeeded in re-
placing the Foyer thearth) of the
family.
with all my heart l thank the Y.
NJ. c. A. for the precious aid that they
have brought to the Armies of the
Entente in the common fight against
the enemy Their work has in no
small degree supported the morale of
our armies, and thus have gloriously
associated themselves in the common
work that shall bring about our vic
tory. l desire to join my most sin
cere wishes for the unqualified sue
cess Of the financial campaign which
you are newly commencing with the
view to the development and support
of your work"

should be placed in the parcel.
Pack nothing in the carton that will
not keep from time of mailing until
Christmas. Dried or glace fruits
should be enclosed in small tin or
wooden boxes, candies in small tin or
substantial cardboard boxes. Avoid
soft, easily-crushed candies.
No Christmas parcels can be mailed
overseas after November 20, 1918.
Do not mail parcels yourself-each
one must be inspected and forwarded
by the Red Cross.
The above rules apply only to par
cells for United States soldiers and
marines in foreign countries. The
Navy Department will have separate
arrangement-the size of boxes for
sailors may be considerably larger.
Nor will the sending of gifts to men
in training camps at home be subject
to such limitations as govern the
sending of boxes overseas.
