FRIDAY.

Although the regular meetings OF the
Womans Club were over for one year, q
special session had been called so that
all Of the members who were interested
enough to come might hear what q rep
resentative Of the Homemakers Associa-
ton who had been invited TO speak, had
to say on the subject Of dried fruits and
vegetables
Mr. Hooper just boots at dried things,
said Mrs. Hooper as she and Mrs. Camp
bell and the Bride started for he lecture.
Says he cap always tell them but l be-
lisye they are very good and I'd Ike to
convince him that he is wrong"
We'll. It does seem kind Of unnatural
treating vegetables that way-and then
expecting them to taste Ike anything
fresh next winter" added Mrs. Campbell.
"Im like Mr.. Hooper I don't believe in
It. but I'd ike TO see how it's done"
well. I'm really anxious to taste them"
said the Bride so ! hope they will give
US q real demonstration
According to the speakers, who claimed
that every fruit and vegetable grown in
the United States as we'll as hsh and meat
had been successfully dehydrated, the
dried peas ana beans, as they were once
prepared. are as out OF date as long
trained skirts The new dehydrated proc
ess takes out the water but leaves in the
original color and flavor and when the
vegetable or fruit is placed in clear
water the cells simply take back what
was removed from them.
Very little heat Is needed for the proc
ess." said the speaker. and one beauty
Of this plan IS that Jams and Jellies and
preserves may be made in the winter
from fruits that are dried in the sum
mer. thus postponing the hot work OF
filling the preserve closet until cold
weather comes"
She explained that IN the old method
Of drying vegetables. the cells cracked,
and the valuable properties escaped or
underwent a chemical change. but that
true dehydration draws the water from
the wells without rupturing them so that
all the nutritive quality and flavor are
retained.
well. it's a narrow minded woman
who won't change her opinion" said the
Bride as she sampled some OF the food
served 10y the demonstrator. And II
dried fruit really tastes like this when
It's soaked out I'm certainly converted"
Even Mrs Campbell, who had been so
skeptical. agreed that It was impossible
to believe that what she was tasting was
not 4 fresh vegetable.

this demonstration does prove is that we
are perfectly safe in buying any of the

BY MABEL WHEELER.

"Women motorists are subjects Of in
Vulnerable jokes by the men nowadays,
but frankly speaking, I find that they
are more careful than the average man
driver" said Captain Johnson, traffic
officer, in discussing feminine drivers
and traffic laws of the city.
"Feminlne drivers do not take the
chances that men do as a rule. They may
be negligent about smaller details of
driving but when it comes to serious
accidents, in almost all cases a man is
behind the wheel We have had but one
woman slated for manslaughter, since 1
have been here. or course there are not
as many women drivers as men, but there
are whole lot of them and some mighty
good ones too.
OF course women do not have the ply
steal strength that men do in applying
their brakes and they find it necessary
to slow up sooner than the men. which
isn't bad fault at all. A man will dash
up behind a machine as close as possible
and step on the brake suddenly, but a
woman will slow up her speed gradually
and apply her brake more easily. Prob
ably that is the reason women do not
speed as much as the men. They realize
that they cannot stop as quickly as the
men and do not take chances.
"Why just look at the Sunday acct
