1 ono Words Little Used.

In the discussion that has been going on in the columns of a contemporary concerning the longest word in the English language, the latest candidate is "antitransubstantiat which easily outruns "honorificabili- tudinity" and "anthropomorphol ly." Such words, however, are more likely to have been used by an individ- ual as the word "antidisestablishme tarianism' is said to have been used by Archbishop Benson, than to have got permanently lodged in the diction- ary. They are interesting curiosities. but in conversation one does very well without them.

ATHLETES OF INSECT WORLD
Compared With tho Ant, Man Cannot Be Considered as Other Than .
 Puny Creature.

Ants are the athletes of the insect world, easily carrying ten times their own weight. The edifices they rear by conjoint labor render the pyramids ridiculous, for the common wood ant will build structures as large as 8 haycock, all of mere fragments. If others are content with small domiciles 1t Is because their needs are sufficed, but all alike dwell beneath their under ground galleries and halls with the or der and activity of busy, well-gov- erned city.
 No nonsense is taken in ant land about everybody being as good and great as everybody else. They nurse with infinite devotion the ant babies, putting them in the warm upper gal leries by day and at night tucking them up in the suggest lower cham bers. They bring home stores of food to the ant city, for those are wrong who say that the little creatures do not lay up winter provisions.

DRY VEGETABLES FOR
WINTER is ADVISED


Vegetables such as corn. beans, peas
cabbage, potatoes. carrots and pars-
nips should be bIanched before dry
ing.
Bfanching is done by placing vcge-
tables. properly prepared, in a wire
basket n flour sack or piece OF
cheesecloth TO towel. the ends of which
have been twisted together to form a
sack, and then placed In boiling water
for about eight minutes. They must
then he removed and cold dipped by
plunging them at once in cold water
for one minute.
Sweet corn has now developed so
that YOU ought to have a surplus that
can be dried for winter Use. Sweet
corn should be blauched on the cob.
then the kernels cut off and spread
To the depth of about one-quarter of
an inch upon the bottom of the drying
flame.
Carrots. parsnips and potatoes are
now ready for drying. IL you have
grown a winter supply. try putting
them up in this way. These root
vegetable should be scrapped and slfc-
ed before blanching, then carefully
drained of moisture and placed in the
drying frames. Only very tender
carrots should he dried.
Squash and pumpkins give excep-
tional satisfaction as dried product.
Home ma de- pumpkin pies will taste
pretty good next winter. Purpkin.
when properly dried. is far superior to
canned pumpkin for making pies. For
drying, cut squash and pumpkin into
inch slices. peel off the rind, chop
into pieces cne-quarter of an inch
thick or CRATE with a potato crater
and spread the produce in rack or
pan and dry IT,
IN drying beans, never use those
that are tough or have strings on the
pods. Break off tip ends. blanch and
dry whole pods If some pods are
tough, do not throw them away Hull
them and dry the beans.
In drying peas, hull before blcnch-
ing, spread them on rack or tray to
dry. In drying peas you will have
some little peas and some big ones.
The little ones win shfivel up: the big
ones won't. Sort the peas. Put the
bog ones in one tray and the little
ones in another tray.
Cabbage is dried by cutting 1t I'm the
same manner as for making kraut;
cut before blanching. Yoii need not
cut off the outside leaves unless they
have commenced to rot. OF course
salted cabbage. commonly known as
kraut, is an excellent cabbage food for
winter. Yet / am sure you will like
dried cabbage much better and it can
be used for stewlng, for salad and as
a slaw.
In drying beets, do not blanch, as
blanching causes them to bleed and
they lose some OF their nutritive value
They should be peeled. washed, sliced
and laid in the frame to dry.
Hubbard does not need launching
Ii should be washed. drained, sliced In
small pieces and dried. Rhubarb does
not need to he peeled IL it is tender
In ccgetables. apples and peaches, the
mineral salts and most of the nutri-
ton are next to the peeling and IL we
peel them we destroy some OF these
desired qualities.
In drying greens, you do not hlanch
them Wash, drain off moisture and
dry whole. The only exception to this
is that swiss chard or any other
green's having thick stem. should be
cut up into half inch pieces.

Independent Socialists and Com.

BERLIN. Tuesday, July / (by the
Associated Press).-The communistic
leaven has again arrived to the fer
menting stage in Greater Berlin, and
there are indications that the strike
movement may develop into a politi-
cal instruction. The candor and
boldness with which the Independent
socialists and their communist bench
men are playing their cards shows
they feel surer of their footing than
during the March revolt.
The street car strike threatens to
involve the suburban and belt line

which Hugo Haase, Herr Hoffman
and other radicals are now demanding
a dictatorship by the proletariat is
looked upon as Significant In the
