ordinary stove the piece of sheet iron
may be removed.
In case the drier is to be made with
out the iron rods, the end braces are
nailed in place, two at each end, fit
ting with the braces on the sides. In
that case holes are drilled, as when
the drier is to be taken apart, 6 inches
from each end In the two lower side
braces. A piece of heavy wire is put
through each pair of holes and on
these the sheet iron is placed when
used over a flame.
Around the bottom of each of the
four uprights place piece of sheet tin
to prevent scorching the wood when
the drier is placed on top of an ordi-
nary stove or over furnace. An eight
penny nail driven halfway into the
lower end of each of the uprights can
take the place of the tin as support for
the drier.
The canvas is next put on so is 1t
about 2 inches from the lower end of
the uprights Tack the one end of
the canvas to the front side of one o.
the uprights and tack along the sides
1t is important to tack 1t once or twice
on each of the shelf cheats in order to
keep the canvas close to the sides so
as to prevent the loss of heat which
will take place If a space is left be-
tween the canvas and the cleats. The
extra width of canvas is allowed to
overlap top. The canvas is fastened
on both sides, and holes are cut for
the iron rods to pass through II the
drier is made to fold. The extra
length of canvas is put around the
front end and fastened with a pin or
with small clasps.
Extra Width Of Canvas.
The extra width of canvas extend
folded, stretched tightly in the cor
ners, and fastened with pins, clasps or
buttons so as to hold the canvas tight
and prevent 1t from dropping down on
the upper tray, and still leaving an
opening in the center for the passage
of the heated-air current. If preferred,
and for the type of drier that is not to
be taken down, single piece of can
vas can be nailed over the top and a
by 8 inches. This opening may be
covered with coarse mosquito netting
to keep out insects.
The trays are nailed together so that
they are 10 inches wide, inside meas
ure. All edges of the pieces of the
wire screen are bent over one-fourth
inch and hammered fiat, so the edges
will not be rough. The screen is then
tackled to the bottom of the trays. The
trays are placed on the shelves or
cleats in such a way that they may
be either pushed to the back of the
drier or left at the front.

whites and spread very thin in layer
cake pans and bake in slow oven
until soft like a griddle cake. Do not
bake until crisp. 1t will make ten or

prepared by tht Omitted States Department
of Agriculture
AS soon as the home garden begins
to produce q surplus over the daily
table needs, the thrifty housekeeper
plans to can or dry the extra mate
rails for winter use.
The United States Department of
Agriculture suggests that vegetables
and fruits can be dried In an oven, in
trays or racks over the kitchen stove,
or in a specially conNtructed drier, of
such a size that 1t can be placed on
the top of an ordinary wood or coal
range, or over a kerosene stove. These
driers hold a series of small trays on
which fruits or vegetables are placed
after being prepared for drying. Port
able outdoor evaporators are especial
ly convenient when it is desired to dry
as much as ten bushels of fruit or
vegetables per day. They are usually
constructed of wood except the parts
In direct contact with the heater. The
homemade dry kiln used in some sec
tions of the country can be cheaply
and easily made of brick and stone.
A very satisfactory drier can be
lar or other nonresinous wood, wire
screens and cotton canvas or heavy
unbleached muslin. It can be used over
a wood stove, furnace, oil or gas stove
If care Is taken to see that 1t does not
become overheated and catch fire, and
can be made in size to SUIT the particu
lar source Of heat used. 1t can be

water Is added to give 1t snap 1t is
more appealing to the taste.
A drink which is enjoyed by many is
iced grape juice, with a few spoonfuls
of ginger ale added just as 1t is
served.
Lime juice, pineapple juice, raspber-
ry shrub or jelly dissolved and added
to pitcher of lemonade will make a
drink which is different.
Be sure to insure the family for the
hot weather of another summer by put
ting up all the grape juice in every
available jar which will seal air-tight.
Place one cupful of sugar, two cup
fuls of ripe, fresh grapes in a two
quart Jar, fill 1t with boiling water

the water is boiling-fill to overflowing
and seal at once. This grape juice has
all of the aroma and flavor of the
grape which is often lacking in the
cooked product; that is, in the cooked
and strained juice. When to be used,
drain from the fruit and use without
diluting with water.

crisp salads and icy desserts are the
appropriate foods for the hot weather.
Nothing so appeals to the appetite
on a sultry morning like dish of
luscious berries or a chilled and flavor
some muskmelon. Pineapple, too, is
always a favored fruit, is good for
digestion and makes a delicious com
bination with other fruits which lack
its zest.
The housemother must consider her
self, too, in the planning of hot
weather food for the work should be
made as simple as possible, having
the cooking done early, or the day
before.
The trouble with most hostesses
who have no maids is that they try
to prepare too elaborate meals. The
average guest will enjoy a simple
meal much better than one which has
cost his hostess hours in the hot
kitchen. A hot, tired hostess will
take the edge off enjoyment from the
whole family.
For the already overburdened house
wife who has watched the approach
of a flock of unexpected company, a
few easy-to-prepare dishes will be a
boon.

weekend avalanches of company

Tomato, Cucumber and Onion Salad.

chopped cucumber and onion, using
three parts cucumber to one of onion.
A bit of celery improves the combina-
tion. Mix with salad dressing Brush
the inside of the drained tomato cup

mixture. Serve very cold on lettuce.
Candies may be prepared in the same
way, using just enough moisture to

PUBLIC SERVICES ANSWER

Public Service Railroad Company does not make much of an
impression in its answer in the proceedings brought by the state
asking that a receiver be appointed for the company. The attor-
ney for Public Service cries and whines about the oppression of
the Public Utility Commission, but does not satisfactorily answer
the statement that it has abandoned its railroad, no effort, appar-
emily, having been made to operate cars since the strike Of the
trolley men began on August l.
The railroad law under which the socalled fast line trolley
is operated, provides that when a road fails to operate for ten days
that the fast line has failed to operate for ten days. Furthermore,
there has been no effort on the part Of Public Service to operate.
II claims that the platform men refuse to work. But there is moth
ing in the law that provides for such an exception. If the old en-
ployes refuse to work it becomes the duty of the company to get.
men who will. Any dispute as to wages is something that concerns
only the company and its employees. The state expects service, or,
at least, an effort to give service.
Regardless of the merits Of the proposition offered by Public
Service for the settlement of the strike, the fact remains that the
fast line has not been operated for a month and a half. The only
plan for settlement advanced by Public Service has included con-
dtions that raised opposition right away. Such conditions could
not be complied with in any reasonable length Of time, yet no
sfort is made to give service.
It is becoming more and more apparent that buses are not
capable of accommodating the people this is especially true in the
larger cities. The mere fact that they add to the congestion on the
streets and on the main highways is enough to discourage the in
crease in their number. The trolley is still needed, but the old
system of buses and trolleys fighting each other is detrimental
to the best interests of the public.
Street railway transportation is as much a natural monopoly
as is the telephone, the electric light, gas, or water. Put the whole
system under one head and see that it is properly regulated and
everybody will be benefited. This is not saying, however. that the
Public Service Corporation is the proper agency to hold the mo-
nopoly. Such a statement as was made by Frank Bergen, general
counsel for Public ervice at the hearing before Chancellor Walker
yesterday, when he accused the Public Utility Commission of "un-
warranted and oppressive conduct" and for which statement he
was taken to task by the chancellor, adds to the belief that the
sooner the state is freed from Public Service domination. especially
under its present management, the better.
