DO NOT BUY EXPENSIVE FOOD
DRIERS

The purchase of expensive factory
made driers for fruits and vegetables
often calls for an expenditure of
several times the amount necessary
to secure a good drier of either the
homemade of 6actory-made type, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, which has made
a study OF the best types OF driers
forh ONE use. The department has
had it's attention called to one drier
no won the market selling at price
about five times what 1t would cost
to construct satisfactory substitute
at home While the interest which
gardeners are everywhere manifest
ing in increased food production
should result in increased use Of
driers, the department believes that
a large money expenditure for such
equipment ordinarily Is not neces-
sary.
For the benefit of those who pre-
fer to make their own driers the de-
pHrtmeht has published for free
distribution pamphlets containing
detailed information on the subject.
One Of the driers Recommended is
metal covered and is designed to
stand on "cookstove or small fur
mace. A less expensive cookstove
,drfer, also recommended, is made
of lath, wire screen, and canvas or
heavy unbleached muslin. With
either of these articles much of the
gardene surplus can be conserved
for winter use, thus materially reduc-
ing the food bills of the coming

WHERE IS YOUR TELEPHoNE7

No one who does not know your habits
can tell you where is the best place four
your telephone In the doctors household
il may be found that the best place for the
telephone is the dining room with the
receiver on the small table where the
doctor can reach it Mt meal time, with
another extension at his bedside. In this
way he finds that he can eat his meals
without being called away from the table,
and it also means that he can answer inn
portant night calls without having to
rouse other members OF the family who
might hear hall telephone or without
having to get out of bed himself.
Still in the average household these two
places for the telephone extensions might
be found to be most inconvenient.
A woman who kept boarters in small
way, realizing that she spent most of her
time in her kitchen had her telephone
extension out in her kitchen This un-
doubtedly saved steps But soon she dis
covered that when the boarders wanted to
use the telephone around meal time it was
rather inconveninet to have them in the
kitchen. So she had the telephone put
in the pantry which in that household is
the best possible place TO have IL since
there can only be one extension.
In your house doubtless there is still
another place where you would find it
most inconvenient In many large houses
where there are many Instruments it is
found convenient TO have little room
scarcely bigger than n closet with chair
and desk where you can telephone in pri-
vacy. In one large country house the tele-
phone is placed in great wicker chair
like beach chair where you can sit and
talk in the utmost ease.
Fortunately telephones are seldom
placed on the wall nowadays Perhaps
that system had its advantages, for then
we were not tempted TO be long winded
over the phone. Having TO stand while
we talked we said we had TO say in short
order. Still those wall telephones were
great inconvience. They were never ad-
justed at convenient height for all the
members of the household, children were
not able to answer them at all and If you
had TO iot down notes from your telephone
call, or write out message for some one
else, YOU found it almost impossible to
accomplish.

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE
Dear Te~ie.

| Dear Tessie:
The necktie arrived o. X. this morning
| in time for my birthday, and to put it
mildly it's some tic, I'm sure never saw
one like it before. because I'm sure II Id
ever saw one like it Id never of forgotten

out to try and get some orders for Daisy
Canned Soup because I'm a great be-
lever in keeping family matters out Of
/ business and IL g no business of my Gus
TONERS if wear passionate neckties, so
simply refrained from wearing il during
business hours to avoid answering personal
questions.
It's a very interesting necktie, Tessie,
and I'm sure when | wear it nobody will
accuse me of appearing in public without
. tie. even If they only see me from dis
tance of several blocks or so. Thanks for
the gift, All / hope is, you got it at a
bargain.

mind 10 sue somebody in this town for

things I've stood off of you, but there
comes tide in the affairs OF ail men, which
taken at the food makes darn fool of
you unless you sidestep. that's my motto.
So / stepped firmly INTO the store and
started to stand up for my rights In
loud tone of voice, but the best / could get
out of the grocer was the statement that
he hadn been able to sell can of ID. G.

to the Home for the Feeble Minded where

Wanda came in wearily. 1t was drizzline
hard and the diningroom looked very
bare, she thought, after the fine apartment
which she had Just left. For the girl had
been to deliver hat to one of her mothers
wealthy customers. There were hot bis
cults, jam and salt fish for tea, but Wanda
ate nothing-even her mothers kind but
tired face escaped her notice.
What is the matter, dear?" asked
Mrs. Gordon.
'.Ohl I'm just tired of living" re-
piled Wanda. Minnie Rodes has such

and Wanda seated herself to study the

wandering away to the fine things she had

Minnie's silken ones.

The old woman took the girls hand
struck her staff on the wall, and in a
moment they were whisked out of the
room, over the tops Of ne trees. straight
to big hole in the side of a cliff. The
wind blew them in at the entrance, and
the girl found herself in the center of q
big chamber hung on all sides with silken
tapestries. Jewel boxes glittered on golden
tables and around the room were tall
mirrors, rejecting the splendor of the
scene.
Here are all the gems you can wish
for, exclaimed the old woman "And
behind those curtains are dozens of
gowns Of velvet trimmed with pearls
and precious stones with shoes and
hats to match. You can have as many
as you wish if you will remain here the
week out"
Wanda thought that would be an
easy thing to do. She had to wait on
the woman who scarcely ever spoke
and then It was cross order The girl
by the time for the next meal had come
was lonely. 1t was very fine In this great
chamber of treasure but the old woman
did nothing but eat and look over the
gems, or handle the dresses, making Wanda
take down dozens so she could admire
their luster
''Ohl are they not lovely," she would
exclaIm, as the girl grew weary at her
task. 81 am sure you enjoy examining
these beautiful things. See how gorgeous
is this purple silk and how the rubies
glow In it's folds. Hand me that robe of
crimson trimmed with gold and that hat
with the pink plumes."
Wanda was almost fainting. She had
had no time to eat bite herself and
the sight OF jewels and silks did not fill
an empty stomach.

woman, pointing to huge bronze clock
in the corner. II go to bed at 10 every

Wandat was almost fainting. The
very sign OF the gorgeous gowns filled
her with disgust. The CLEAN Of the gems
angered her.
What fool l was to come here"
she moaned as she threw herself weeping
on a pile of velvet robes. "How much

tented | would be-"
''Here is bit of mince pie that Mrs.

holding out plate with big slice of pie.
