PRESERVING DRIED VEGETABLE
Science Shows Amount of Moisture Per-
missible i'm Dehydrated Foods.

How vegetables which have been de-
hydrated should be kept free from all
moisture above certain percentage Is
now explained by science.
LII the dampness Is permitted to re-
main, there Is a loss of color which
makes such articles of food unsightly
and unpalatable as well.
The simplest and one of the best ways
of drying many kinds of vegetables Is
to wash, trim and cut them finely and
air. Carrots, onions, turnlps, tomatoes,
celery, parsnips, and carrots yield eX-
cellent products when prepared in this
way. he problem as explained by
Alessrs. IL. c. Gore and c. E. Mangels,
of the bureau of chemistry, United
States department of agriculture. Wash
ingtOn, is to preserve the flavor and
the ordinary temperatures. In the cur
rent number of the journal of Indus
trial and Engineering Chemistry those
chemists write that unless sliced car
rots, for instance, are dried thoroughly
they soon lost their brilliant hue and
distinctive taste.
"TurnipS. cabbages and onions SINH
larry dried" the authors state, slowly
daTken, if left at room temperatures,
becoming finally as dark as tobacco and
at the same time suffer Serious losses
in flavor. Spinach fades and acquires
a hay-ike flavor, unless dried very

before drying, the deterioration Is less
rapid but none the less certain. Micro
organisms cannot be concerned in this
deterioration. because the moisture con

terra win grow

War Maps for Envelopes

From the Red Cross Bulletin of the
Baltic states, published at Riga:
1.-THE shortage of paper has resulted
in many novel makeshifts. One of
these is the use of German and Rus
sian official war maps as material for
envelopes.
Large quantities of war maps of the
Russian, the German imperial army
and Bermont's western volunteer army
were captured by the Let's since their
independence In November, 1918. They
were sold TO private interests. who
make many varieties of envelopes from
them. The paper is of excellent quail
ity.
mo attempt was made to remove
the map proper. The maps were sim
ply folded and cut to size and glued.
1t is very convenient to open a letter
and find that the inside of the envelope
is a map of the district Of which the
letter treats"

BOMBAY A CITY OF BEGGARS
Government Is Planning Severe Meas
ures to Repress Nuisance That Is
Becoming Intoerable.

Some time ago the government OF
Bombay appointed a committee to con-
slider and formulate proposals for the
purpose of suggesting practical meas
ures whereby the ever-growing nuis-
ance of professional beggary might be
abolished The committee has nov
completed its investigation and has
issued a report.
The report shows that there are In
Bombay city alone 5000 professional
beggars, and the beggars in other
parts bring the total for the presi-
dency to over 10000. The general
conclusions of the committee are that
there must be introduced at the earli-
est opportunity an act for the proven
tion of professional beggary, which
will be applicable TO the whole of the
presidency.
Sadhus and fakirs, II is suggested,
should be exempt from the operations
of the act. which 1t is proposed should
make begging a cognizable offense.
Those who have visited India viii
doubtless recall with feelings of horror
the terrible sights they have witnessed
of beggars, many OF them physical
wrecks and suffering from loathsome
diseases, seated about the roads So
lIciting aims from passersby.-From
the Times of India.

Houses Eew-Less Divorce.

France is finding one comfort in the
housing shortage. Divorces are de-
creasing in Paris and other French
cities because of the lack of houses
and apartments"
Unable to find suitable places in
which to live apart, disgruntled cou-
pies In many places are composing
their differences and continuing TO
live under the same roof. During the
first three months of this year, S,0G5
DEGREES were pronounced in Paris
alone, but since April the shortage of
houses has been making itself felt,
with the result that the number of
divorce actions has been falling stead
lily. Last month the number of ap-
plications fell below one thousand, and
this month it is believed the number
will not reach the seven hundred mark.

Prehistoric Graveyard unearthed.

A prehistoric graveyard believed to
be at least 1900 years old has been
unearthed near Stargard West Prus-
sia, by German investigators under
the direction of Professor Zakrewski.
In one of the graves the excavators
found six black urns and one red urn
with white stripes filled with clay and
ashes Among the remains were some
glittering substances which the inves-
tigators believe once had been adorn-
ments of prehistoric men and women.

Real Kisses by Post.

The English patent Office has issued
patent on a method of sending d
kiss by post. 1t Is described thus:
"A~post, letter, or like card is pro-
vided with means for making an i'm
preston of the lips Of The sender.
The person presses card. carrying
a piece o. cloth or other material COW
cred or tmpregnated with a colored
sllbstaHve, such as bronze to the lips
and then kisses the card, leaving the
impression shown" The patent does
not deprive any girl of the right to
kiss a card with her freshly-rouged
lips and to send the card to the man
of her heart. The ideal substance
with which to print the kiss is a mix
ture of honey, gum arabic, and cochl-
neal. This will dry on the card and
the kiss will be sweet when received.

DO MOST WORK ON THURSDAY
Statistics Show That British Factory
Employees Are at Their Best
About MidWeek.
What is the best workday in Amer

What is the best workday in Amer
lea? In England 1t is Thursday.
That is the finding of industrial re-
search board investigators of that
country. The London Chronicle reports
that over a period of twenty weeks
the output was registered and
graphs" were made.
The workers gave their best on
Wednesdays and Thursdays, but the
output on Saturday was invariably
low. When doubled Ito equaliZe time)
it is often less than 70 per cent of that
on other days.
Another important conclusion was
that the skilled workman is much
more regular in his output than the
worker not so well qualified. He does
not get the "tIred Saturday feeling
so soon.
In some factories the output arises
until Friday, but among the less skilled
workmen 1t was found that Thurs
day was the best working day. 49,
An important consideration which
the Investigators kept in mind was
that of the atmospheric condition in
which work is done. Records of the
air conditions have been taken with
the output records.
In various plants the Saturday out
put was so low that employers found
1t Improbable to operate, so they
closed down. From this it would ap-
pear that on a half day the worker
does not give the average of half
day of roduction.-Richard Spillane
