TOYS FOR NEXT WINTER
BY ALICE JUDSON PEALE

The sled which coaSted down so
many hills this winter lies forgotten
in the entryway. The snow shovel
leans against the back fence. The
ice skates. new and shining at Christ
mas, are accumulating rust In a dark
corner of the closet. The young
owner of these things has turned his
thoughts to marbles, tops, and base
ball.
Next winter, of course, he will scorn
his battered sled, want new skates,
and require snow shovel to take
the place of the one which has dis
, appeared.
This is an opportune time to teach
him lesson in the care of his pos
sessions. Next Saturday before he
rusheS out to play we may tell him
that it would be good to oil his skates
this morning and put them away on
the top shelf of his closet. We may
suggest that the cellar would be u
proper place to hang his snow shovel.
and that after the runners of his sled
have been creased, it should be hung
up next to the shovel.
This kind of carefulness is worth
impressing on the child not only be-
cause it is practical economy but
because 1t represents a decent respect
for things that have cost work and
time and money.
Since to children toys are their
most cherished possessions it is with
these that we should begin to teach
thriftiness. The child will see the
point of taking good care of his play
things long before he is ready to ap-
preciate the importance of being
careful with his clothes or his school

DRIED FRUITS

Dried fruits were an important ad-
dition to the food supply of many Of
the American Indians during the win
ter months and they practiced the
drying Of apples, berries and other
fruits many years before the coming
Of the white man.
It you have eaten properly dried
fruit you have noticed that its flavor
- richer than the fresh fruit. The
secret Of this wonderful flavor is be-
cause the fruits for drying are allowed
to become fully ripe before being
picked, while most of the fruits ship
ped to market in the fresh state must
be picked while partly green. Most
OF the finest food and flavoring ma
tertals Of the fruit are produced in
the last day or two before perfect
ripeness is reached, and fruit picked
before this time never attains the
same flavor.
The drying Of fruit is resorted
sometimes to save a crop when the
market price for fresh fruit is low. but
this Is by no means the usual prac.
tice, because farmers have found that
certain varieties Of figs and grapes
Tor example, contain q larger amount
OF sugar than others and are there
fore more suitable for drying and
have q richer flavor.
The fruit may be either sun-dried
In warm localities or dried in de-
hydrating plants especially built for
the purpose. Either of these methods
are quite wholesome. Some of the
fruit, such as prunes, are dipped in
lye to facilitate the peeling of the
fruit or to soften the skin so that
the moisture will evaporate. This I've
solution does not injure the fruit be-
cause 1t Is carefully removed by rims
Ing In pure water. However, many
fruits are subjected to fumigation
with sulphur fumes. This adds
small amount Of sulphurous acid to
the fruit and while it gives keeping
qualities, I believe it is a bad prac-
tice from q health standpoint, and
therefore recommend the unsulphured
fruits. The sulphured fruit also has
slightly acid flavor that is not
present in the unsulphured.
Inc dried fruits are much more
concentrated than the fresh and are
therefore quite q nutritious food.
They are relished by children and are
very desirable as means of satisfy
Ing their craving for sweets. Dried
figs. dates. raisins, and prunes are
known and used throughout the
world. However. there are number
OF other fruits which are less known
but equally as valuable in dried
states.
In this country we use considerable
quantities OF dried peaches, april
cots, pears, apples. nectarines and
currants, but it Is also possible to dry
cranberries, raspberries, rhubarb,
cherries, persimmons, mangoes. ba-
nanas and q, number of other fruits.
In some cases, as in the banana, the
drying produces q distinct change of

OUR FLAG
On April 4, 1918, Congress enacted
the law which fixed for all time the
design of the flag of the Omitted
States.
The law rectified an error which
short-sighted Congress had enacted
in 17o5, after the admission OF Ver-
mont and Kentucky to the Union.
This 1795 act provided that q stripe
should be added for each Of these
states, and for q years the national
ensign had Is stripes.
It was 15-stripe flag which waved
over Ft. McHenry and inspired Fran
els Scott Key to write "The Star
Spangled Banner" And only the ac-
ton which Congress took Ill years
ago today saved the general caarac-
teristics Of our flag as it was. III revo-

As everyone knows, the act Of 1873
reduced the number Of stripes to 13-

and provided that each state Of the
Union should be represented by q
star. Each states star Is added to
the flag on the Fourth Of July fol-
lowing tho states admission to the
