Prof. Ralph II. Mckee. professor OF
chemical engineering at Columbia Uni

the chemical engineerin Laboratories
Of the university rounded out the
drying process to its present indus
trially valuable form and in conse-
have at our disposal a dehydrati
system which puts us far ahead in
this important economic art.
No Chemicals Used mt All.
No chemicals or personalities of
any sort are employed, and AN ey-
tremely moderate degree of heat suf
fees. This, of course varies with the
characteristics OF the commodities to
be dried. To start with, in the de-
MIGRATING of meats all inedihle matter
is removed. That Is 70 say the bone,
the connective tissue and surplus fat
arc made available for by product util-
ization in the packing house. Beef,
for instance, is cut into steaks or stew
pieces, the latter being in the form
OF one-inch cubes. Every ounce of the
meat to be dried Is therefore food.
The beef so prepared, depending upon
the thickness OF the pieces or steaks,
Is dried in six or twelve hours. The re-
sultant product weighs approximately
35 per cent. of its original weight, and
during storage even In ordinary
lioth sacks the desiccated meat will
continue to dry out and will lose
per cent. more.

American Red Cross relief work. Pre-
viously some hundreds Of pounds Of
steaks and stew meats were dried
aud then tried out at one of our army
camps and among many civilians.
Without exception the product was in

fully as palatable as fresh beef. In
fact most of those who ate it without
having been told what they ate were
unable to discover any difference
The fresh meat that reaches our
tables generally has been refrigerated

periods. II is moved about the coun-

Contrast these requirements with
those other conditions under which

HAT to do with surplus sweet

problem to farmers.

Experiments conducted in the bu-
reau Of Chemistry have produced
palatable and wholesome syrup from
sweet potatoes. the United States De-
partment of Agriculture announces.
The method. developed by specialist
in the bureau, is recommended partic-
ularly for homo use where there is an
oversupply At sweet potatoes. 1t is not
recommended at present for CONNER
cial use because 1t is believed that
sweet potato syrup cannot compete on
a commercial basis with grain syrups.
The sweet potato syrup, which shows
a yield of from 80 to 30 per ~ent. of the
weight Of the sweet potatoes. has con-,
sIstence, taste and color similar to cane
and sorghum syrups. 1t is known to
contain much sugar. Experiments to
determine its exact food value are
being conducted.
The sweet potatoes should be washed,
have decsyed parts or other blemishes

then placed in a kettle with plenty Of

Farley, the veterinarian who for sew
eral years had charge of the thorough
breds at Rancocas, which was then the
largest place of its kind in America.
That was in the good old racing days
when Iroquois went across from Ran
cocas to win the Derby and Parole to
win the Newmarket Handicap. the
Gold Vase, Chester Cup and other ia
nous English racing fixtures.
Just as there was no other farm
quite like Rancocas, In my opinion
there was no other sportsman as re-
markable as Pierre Lorillard," DR..
Farley continued. "Lorillard was not
only lavish in his expenditures OF
money on sport, especially racing. but
he took an active part himself.
HE was a great whip, an excellent
shot with rifle or shotgun and an ex-
pert boxer. To see him tooling his
fourth hand in and out OF crowded
streets was sight that always called
forth admiration. He was a thorough,
true sportsman and would bet with the
bookmakers when his horse was en-
tered in a race as long as they would
take the money. He would usually
bet $4,000 at a time.
although he was fond Of betting on
his horses he believed In obeying the
letter OF the law. When Pontiac won
the second Suburban at Sheepshead
Bay. remember, the Percy Gray law
had Just gone into effect prohibiting
betting. Although the price against
Pontiac was a good one Mr.. Lorillard
refused to bet on his horse in violation
OF the law. Not only that, but he
ordered all the stable employees not to
| bet, on pain OF discharge.

tables SO as to give them when cooked
the appearance, the flavor and the full
measure Of the nourishing qualities of
the actually fresh foodstuffs. That is
to say, where certain vegetables are
concerned it has this advantage over
the usual hot air systems: it will not
destroy the vitamines. and therefore
our dried greenstuffs will serve the
same purpose as fresh vegetables In
the prevention of scurvy and kindred
maladies."
Winter Diet Unbalanced.
As people we generally eat a good
deal more meat than is essential, and
during the winter time we have the
common fault of an improperly BAL
anced diet. We ought to eat more
greenstuffs. Both children and adults
need an abundance of greenleaf vege'
tables, which are rich in vitamines
but the average person cannot pay fol

of the necessary amount of moisture
the dried vegetables should be allowed
to soak in cold water for something
like three or four hours. There is no
cleaning to be done; after that period
they are ready to cook. The meats are
soaked for six hours and even longer,
depending upon whether they are
steaks or stew pieces. After that they
are seasoned and dealt with just as L
