Dear Friend

Dear Friend:
 This is one of the few happy moments us boys have over here when we receive a package like the one you sent. You would only be too glad to be here to see us boys in line waiting for one of those packages. We had jH come in from a hike when those packages were passed out and it certainly cheered us up. I don't know how to thank you. I hope 1 will be able to do so some day.

 Dry the vegetables and fruits. Save jars and tins and money. Every housewife who has a good war garden should begin now to prepare, while vegetables are plentiful, supply for use next winter.
 With simple and inexpensive facili- ties everyone can save not only large quantities but quantities of food which are too small to can conven. iently. A few sweet potatoes or ap- pies or peas can be saved in this way and thus waste is avoided
 To secure a fine quality of dried products much depends upon having the vegetables absolutely fresh. young, tender and perfectly clean.
 Three main ways of drying are ap plicable in the home manufacture Of dried fruits and vegetables, namely sun drying, drying ny artificial heat, and drying by air blast.
 Drers Easily Made.
 A cheap and very satisfactory drfer for use over the kitchen stove can be made by any handy boy or carpenter from a small amount ot small-mesh galvanized wire netting and number of laths or strips of wood about one- half inch thick and two inches wide. The scredN may be tackled directly on the framework to make the drying shelves, or the framework can be made to support separate trays. By using two laths nailed together the framework may be stiffened and larg. CT trays made if desirable. This form or any of the lighter makes of driers can be suspended from the ceiling over the kitchen range or over the oil, gasoline, or gas stove, and 1t will util- ize the hot air which rises during the cooking hour. It can be raised out Of the way or swung to one side by a crade made of lath when the stove is required for cooking purposes and low cred or swung back to utilize the heat which otherwise would De wasted when the top of the stove is not in use.

Sold in Minnesota, Reports the
State Public Health
Association.

The sale of Red Cross Seals in Min
nesota passed the 100000 mark and
may reach 100000. This is indicated
by a preliminary report to National
Headquarters by the Minnesota Pub
lie Health association, state Red Cross
Seal manager.
The report reads in part as follows:
''Total seals reported sold exceeds
100000 but several local managers
have failed to report. We hope to
have all delayed reports in by Febru-
airy list when total may exceed 7,0OO,-
900.
;. Rural schools did exceptionally
we'll this year. However, many of
them have failed to make reports as
yet. In some counties over half of
the teachers are ,tardy with their re-
ports. Five hundred seals were sent
each teacher but many of them re-
quested much larger amounts. If the
teachers who are late with their re-
ports sell as many seals as the ones
who have already reported, the total
sale will pass The 100000 mark, ..

CONGRESS HAS DONE WE'LL.

The Hemet (Cal.) News: The sixty
fifth congress has already made a
wonderful record. Aside from the war
measures, three reforms of mOmen-
tous consequence to the nation have
been practically assured, these being
national prohibition, national woman
suffrage and government ownership
of railroads. ..
The prohibition amendment has
passed both houses and received the
presidents signature. The suffrage
bill has passed the house and willapass
the senate probably this week, and of
course will be approved by President
Wilson. The railroads of the country
are now being operated by the govern
ment as war measure, and it is the
general feeling that they will never
return to private ownership. The adj
vantages of government control will
be made so apparent that the people
will not again permit the extrava-
gance and duplication of the old
method. --..
Out of the war will come the solu-
ton of many government problems,
and national control of all forms of
transportation will become settled
policy. The government is going to
mean more to us than heretofore.
