FEATHERwEIGHT FOODS

Perhaps the silver lining in the
cloud of war is the rapid develop
ment of an age-old method of keep
ing food-dehydration. To many
people this process seems nothing
short of miraculous yet we have
been using certain dehydrated
foods-spices, breakfast cereals,
sugars, to name a few-for years.
The miraculous aspect shows up
in the rapid expansion of the in
dustry. For example in 1941, there
were one million pounds of eggs
dried-in 1912, 139 million. Be
cause they are so concentrated and
consequently space-saving, dehy-
drafted foods are ideally suited for
shipment abroad. Our armed forces
and allies are taking about 900 of
the output. 1t is a paradox that
housewives in foreign countries
will know how to prepare these
wonder foods" long before most
American women will, even
though most of those foods do
come from the United States of
America.
DehydratiOn is simply another
means of food preservation along
with canning and quick freezing. |
Moisture is removed from food by |
mechanical means. Technically !
speaking. a dehydrated food has
lots around $50 of its original |
moisture land incidentally, much /
of its bulk and weight-hence the |
description of "featherweight'O a
dried food loses about 500 of it's
water content (e. g. dried fruit; a
food loses around 70%
moisture (e. &. fruit juice concen-
trate); and a condensed food gives
up 500 of its moisture condensed
milk. 1t is a fairly simple matter
10 remove 900 of the water; get

difficulties.
Research is bringing forth new
methods in dehydration which pre-
serve natural flavor as well as
much of the vitamin content of
foods. Thedehydrated foods now

soups of various sorts-mostly veg

The profound significance to this
very present hour of that beautiful
event known as the TRANSPORTATION
as related by Matthew, and the
deep and vital meaning of that
sacred experience, is clearly and
practically explained in Christian
Science. What does the transfigura-
tion really mean? 1t means "glori-
fed" = Christ, Truth, glorified.
Jesus, you will recall, had taken
Peter, James, and John up into a
high mountain, and there appeared
unto them Elias and Moses, talking
with Jesus. From the height of
spiritual vision to which their
Masters teaching and constant
companionship had brought them,
they envisaged this communion.
They saw those two who had led
and prophesied. and held the peo-
pie to faith in the one true God, at
the most important crises in Is
rael's previous history.
When the vision of Moses and
Elias had vanished and Jesus was
alone with his awed disciples, they
questioned him about the prophecy
which had existed for centuries
concerning Elias. 1t was the nthat
Jesus spoke those words, among
the profoundest he ever uttered,
ELIAS truly shall come, and re-
store all things" That was a far
reaching prophecy-as we shall
down to this very
age in the religious history of the
world.
Mary Baker Eddy realized that
the spiritual Interpretation of all
Scripture is the vital interpreta-
tion. AS she has said, in Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" Up. 207), THE spiritual /
reality is the scientific fact in all
things" Such an Interpretation /
makes the sacred records living

,erned the spiritual fact of what

1851.
To Mrs. Eddy it was clearly re-
'ealed that it was through his
scientific knowledge of the spirit
lal reality of all things that Jesus
,vercame the material claim at all
POINTS. II is only in the false ma
erial concept of the world that
nOrtals have great tribulation."
This counterfeit creation is to be
,vercome for each one of us indi-
by the divinely scientific
way which Jesus as the Way-show-
r demonstrated. The way of Chris
ian Science is constructive in all
# its methods. Through it's teach
ngs we learn not to accept the evil
ence presented by material sense,
whatever it may be. but to look
through it and find the spiritual
act. Each material appearance
Fill then be seen as a distortion, a
or a limited con-
option of something unchangeably

wholly compatible with good
iod.

Praised for Bravery
During Ship Collision

William Berline Ripley. "a, gun
ner's mate third class, United States
Naval Reserve, son Of Walter En-
cry Ripley, 1107 Bonifant street, Sill
yer Spring, Md, has been commend
ed by the chief of naval personnel
for outstanding bravery and pres
ence of mind when the ship to which
he was attached suffered a collision.
His commentator reads:
"The chief of naval personnel
takes pleasure in commencing you
for the outstanding bravery and
presence of mind you exhibited when
the vessel aboard which you served
as a member of the Navy gun crew
collided with another ship at night.
"A report Of the incident reveals
that the accident occurred while
passing through narrow, mine
strewn channel and set the bow
cargo ablaze with fire Of such in
tensity that the red-hot decks lit
orally buckled with the heat. Real
izing that the blaze was quickly
sprea ding to the forward magazine,
you, In utter disregard for your own
safety, fearlessly braved the smoke,
the flames and the threat of immi-
nent explosion of the many rounds
of ammunition in an attempt to
open the sprinkler system valve.
when, after many efforts, it be-
came apparent that the connection
shaft was corroded and immovable,
you secured the fire hose which
flooded the compartment and sue
cessfully inundated the powder,
after which the flre-fighting work
began.
Your courageous, unselfish &C
tions contributed immeasurably to
the prevention of disaster to the
vessel and to your shipmates, and
your conduct on this occasion was
in keeping with the best tradition
of the Naval Reserve"
