The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-04-11

|. w. w. who owned his home" said
a speaker at one of the Gown Your
Home" meetings in Spokane.
The speaker said many other things
but none of them had the force of
his opening remark, which is being re-
peated in various forms of argument
The campaign is daily gaining head
way. 1t is part of general move
ment fostered by national organiza-
ton, and while admittedly an activity
which results in private profit, it also
is most potent argument for better
citizenship. Such campaign is pos
sible in any community, requiring only
a few live citizens to give it a start.
Newspaper advertising has proven the
best means of getting results. In Spo-
kane the cost of such advertising has
been apportioned among the several
lines which profit by the campaign.
Fruit preserving by canning, evap-
Grating and other methods has been
practiced for many years with varying
degrees of success, but it remained for
a Washington woman to invent pro-
cess which seems destined to become
the leader of them all. The woman is
Mrs. Hulda Shepard, of Chelan. She
conceived the idea of COMPRISING
fruit into the form of small bricks
and she invented a process for doing
this which would retain all the flavor
of the fruit regardless of the period
it is kept. At the same time she hit
upon a plan whichc prevents decay.
The fruit bricks, neatly wrapped in
attractive covers, are shipped to any
point and are ready for the table
either in the brick form or the food
NAV be enhanced in flavor by add
ing little water before serving. The
process has attracted the attention OF
many food specialists and scientists.
A corporation has been formed at We
natchee to market the product. A fac
tory is being completed.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-04-11

Medical Lake, Washington, will
probably be the location of a big
health institute if the plan proposed by
eastern capitalists meets fruition. NJ.
D. Kelly, a widely known health
scientist, in company with several
Medical Lake residents, has studied
the possibilities of such an institution
and is convinced of the feasibility.
Mr.. Kelly caused elaborate analysis
of the waters of Medical and Granite
Lakes to be made. He insists that
the curative properties of these waters
will rival the famous Carlsbad and
Lick Springs. He proposes to bring
in $150,000 of eastern capital to add
to $4,000 to be raised by western
interests. Mr.. Kelly says geograph-
ical conditions will add materially to
the health producing assets found in
the lake waters.
