Household Hints

7 proportion OF water they contain
Therefore the first step in prepare
! ton is to put back water about
equal in amount to that lost during
drying
One reason why dried foods have
! been unpopular is that they so often
have been undersoal1ed and over
cooked. When the time for soak
ing is long and that Of cooking
short, the flavor will be more Ike
that Of fresh food
Shape and texture must be, con
sidered, the more solid the article
the longer the time required for
drying, and hence the longer the
period of soaking required. After
washing, such foods should be pat
into three or four times their bulk
of water and left covered in a cool
place from three to forty-eight
hours, according to their substance
Should any indication Of fermen-
tation appear, they must be scald-
ed at once. Otherwise, leave them
until they regain their original siae
or lose most of the wrinkles in the
surface; then the time Of cooking
will be but little longer than that
needed by the same fruit or vegetA-
BILE fresh from the garden
The water in which fruits hare
soaked should be used to cook the
food.
In case of high favored fruits,
like the apricot, more water may
be used for cooking and that in
which it soaked will serve TO give
flavor to tasteless apples or a gela-
tine dessert.

REV. w. J. LUCAS CALLS THE
UNION ALUMNI TO SERVICE.


To the Alumni and Former Students
Of the Virginia Union University:
Dear Brethren, --Notwit
the fact that our school is putting
forth cvcry effort TO secure your CO.
operation in carrying out the plans
OF tho institution at all times, and
especially the plans for the coming
"choOl year, |, Il fellow alumnus. am
hiking the liberty of making an ad.
ditionai call upon you in regards to
what | believe to be tho greatest
opportunity for quick service to the
University that our Alumni and old
students have been called upon to
render.
| refer to your assisting the school
in securing ono hundred young mon
eligible for college entrance this
Fall. They arc needed now and must
be secured. Tho University has
been designated Il unit of the Student
Army Training Corps, and graduates
OF approved high schools are eligible
for entrance under the same rcGula-
tons rs those governing entrance to
similar institutions for white stu
dents. '-.~s---.' ,'-.,.-. .-r. ..a-
But, one condition is, believe,
that We must have at least 100 men
so registered Can we not and will
we not, as Alumni and students so
advertise and urge this as to doubly
secure this number?
Brethren, now is tho time to show
our hand for the school that sent us
out. Let us forget lines and sta.
tons such as 1.-THE old Richmond
Institute" "Old Maryland" cold DR..
this one' or "The sainted DR.. that"
as we so much pratc about at our
Alumni meetings and think now of
Union, 100000 Negroes, our
Country and our venerable "Unclc
Sam"
TO help send up these men is 10y
atty to our school, and one of the
highest patriotic services we can rem
der to our Country. This is Unions
chance Of her life. This war has
brought about for the Negro the
chance OF his life: and we who for
various reasons may not go cover
There ought to grasp this the
chance OF our lives to perform any
service that will tend to clinch our
claims to part Of what our boys are
dying for.
Consider where will Union be,
where will our race be, where will
this nation be, when the great Non
Understandable cries halt to this
high carnival of death, if we as
men-not black men-but as men,
do not rise up with others in a right
eous cause and help bring in the
blessings for which we pray. AS
Alumni, We can, If we will, sec that
tho school has these men. College
entrants Of the required age know
they are subject to- call to the colors
they only need be told then, that If
registered in these units, tho Govern
ment not only assumes all OF their
expenses, but gives them also $50 per
month, the pay Of a private, while
they arc in school.
Now preach and urge it, brethren,
and then let us meet, God willing,
and rejoice over the grand success
next year in great meeting at our
commencement.
Fraternally yours,
