not expect dehydrated food to be quickly
taken up for home use. Following the past
history of food changes, the first general use
of dehydrated foods will probably be in IN
,stitutions and armies, then In the larger
civilian units, such as hotels and hospitals,
and finally in the kitchen of the private
house
probably in no other phase of life are
we as slow to make changes as In food and
the methods of cooking 1t. More than fifteen
years ago armies began the use of dehy-
drafted foods. Hospitals and hotels In this
city and few others have been using them
in large amounts for three four years,
and within the last few months the manu-
facturers of these products have been maxi
ing their first efforts to bring them to the
attention of the housewife"
Dehydrating in It's simplest form is little
more than removing the water from foods
to protect them against spoilage. Indus
trially, the idea has tremendous ramifca-
tions. If the farmers and producers from
Maine to California would subject their
crops to dehydrating process before ship
ping the saving in the cost of packing and
transportation would represent a consider
able item in the national budget. The ulti-
mate consumer could replace the water from
his own kitchen faucet, and the vegetables,
according to the dehydrating authorities.
would never know the difference.
Annually the nation spends millions OF
dollars transporting tons OF water about the
country for the benefit Of the very small
percentage of food that swims around in the
water.
The ordinary tomato, fresh from the vines,
contains 94.3 per cent water. Beets con-
tain S75 per cent, water; cabbages 91.5 per
cent; carrots, SS.2 per cent: celery, 94.5 per
cent; corn, 75.4 per cent; spinach. 92.3 per
cent, and turnips, s9.6. Meats and fish are
made up of 65 to 75 per cent. water. De-
Migrating reduces the amount of water on
the average to less than 10 per cent.
two pound can of tomatoes contains
less than two ounces of real bona fde
tomato. An official estimate, coming from
the Department OF Agriculture at Washing
ton, states that one carload OF dried toma-
toes will save the railroads from handling
thirty cars of canned tomatoes; and that IL
all the handling OF the lumber for boxes.

tomatoes gives an aggregate saving Of los
carloads OF freight.

And the sweater?"
That's for me-" he added with a show of

The sweater was to be made of baby blue

gaudy coors for a gentleman, but the little
Chinaman, who had served and fallen In
the navy, was quite content with the pros
pect 1t would take him month, perhaps
two to finish it. He almost hoped it would
take two. Fifteen years ago, back in China,
he had worked on a hand loom He had
forgotten all about it until a girl in blue
came along and helped him to remember.
Next to the Chinaman was a younger
man from Harlem north Of 130th street He
had dark skin and white teeth. He was
wounded In the Argonne in October, 1918,
shot four times and perhaps more-he
couldn't remember. Since then life for him
had been just in and out Of the hospitals.
That was all
He was partly dressed, sitting in chair
and leaning over the bed He had a little
saucer of glittering beads which he picked
up carefully with needle and strung them
on black threads. Conversation revealed
that he was a bead bag specialist. He could
finish bag in two days. He was second
