A number ,of dehydra- tors are now on the market—the ther- mostat -controlled electric ones may be constructed from the instructions given In the Central Experimental Station, Ottawa, blUlletin, or an inex- pensive Aype may be purchased or made. If you wish to make a cheap one, no special equipment is neces- sary. A handy man can build a cab- inet if extensive drying is going to be done. Three or four wooden frames with cheesecloth or wire -mesh trays will work very well in a. cab- inet Which is placed over an element or built to fit in the oven. Food is dehydrated from four to 24 hours, emerges a tenth of its original size, and is stored in waxed cartons or jars. Before eating, it is soaked in Water until plump, then cooked. * * * TIPS ON DRYING When a cabinet dryer is used for cabbage: first trim the cabbage, slice thin as for kraut, steam two minutes, then spread on drying trays in a lay- er not over one-half inch deep. Dur- ing the, drying period interchange the shelves every half hour and at the same,time stir the food. When. preparing apples, pe I, quar- ter, core. Gilt in one-half • ch slices and blanche (or lip) in .frit-kepe sol- ution, then 'put on trays. Trays should no't be as deep as the "cabinet or oven so they may be un- evenly placed in the oven to give air circulation. Temperature during dry- ing is important; a dairy or oven ther- mometer is 'excellent for checking it. As the water evaporates, the danger of scorching increases and even a slight scorching destroys flavour. Less heat is needed during the latter stages of drying.- Vegetable should be drying. - after dehydration, should rattle when shak- en, or be slightly leathery. Store the Cried foods in jars with tight -fitting covers, or seal *axed package with adhesive tape. . ,e/ Corr.— Steam husked cobs 20 min- utes. Cut --off kernels., Use tempera• ture of /60 degrees.

N. asks: "Directions for salting string beans. Answer: Brine in Beans—Use one pound of coarse cooking salt to four pounds' of beans. Wash beans and string, cut into desired Ilengths or leave whole. Place a layer of beans in a crock; sprinkle generously with salt. Repeat until all beans are us- ed. Place plate or board (cut in shape' of crock) over beans and put weight on top. Store crock in a cool place—no fermentation should take rlace. If liquid does not cover beans in two days, make a strong salt and water solution and add enough to cover. To rinse, the beis, remove them from the brine, wash thoroughly in several. waters, then 'soak for two hours in warm water. They get tough if soaked overnight. Cook in boiling water without salt until they are tender-2th 30 minutes. Drain and serve as Tresh' beans. Mrs. C. D. asks: "For variety of ways to serve string beans." Answer: Spiced beans! Brown onion rings in fat, add a dash of cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg,salt; pour over cooked beans. Or serve them in mustard sauce. Or cook beans; add browned .cracker crumbs; toss together.

More accuraWy, by handling and ex- amining it. Its appearance, its texture, the ",feel." and the balance of it all means something to their trained • eyes and fingers. • But no one person can be an expert on steel, brass, wood, leather, fooflstuffs, fabrics, and all of the materials that make up a list of personal purchases. And even ex- perts, are fooled, sometimes, by concealed flaws and im- perfections.- • There is a surer index of value than the senses of sight and touch • . knowledge of the maker's name and for what it stands. Here is the most certain method, ex- cept that of actual use, for judging the value of any manu- factured goods.' Here is the only guarantee against care- less workmanship, or the use of shoddy material. • This is one important reason why it pays to read vertisements and to buy advertised goods: The product that is advertised is worthy of your confidence. • MERCHANDISE MUST BE GOOD OR IT COULD NOT BE CONSISTENTLY ADVERTISED; BUY ADVERTISED GOODS • „ T tabiished 1860 Pholie 41 01t06,5, Publisher§, SEAPOW1111 • " Went •Neimai Pep, Vim, Vigor, Try Ostrex Topic WOW- Contain tO0Iss• Uinta, Irea.vnelaianueeeteuta.paosehorateet normal pop.

Poldhu, an the south - .west tip 'of England, to Newfotintliand, was an invisible thread destined to be spun into an unbreakablelink in An- glo-Alnerican relations As the years have, passed, many of these electric threads have been toss- ed across the sea. Over them mil- lions and millionof words in the English tongue have flowed between the continents in an unbroken pate tern of communication. Fire and winds destroyed stations and masts of the pioneers, such as th historic Poldhu, Glace Bay and South Well. - fleet, but neither lire, wind' nor war could sever the wavelengths ofjriend- ship and good will that conneTt Am- erica and Britain. Ballo has become a symbol of solidarity. • The powerful spark stations which in 1903 flashed the friendly greetings of President Theodore Roosevelt and King Edward VII, have long since passed from the scene. The spark era of wireless was the "sailing ship" days of the new science. It was no easy triumph for the spark stations to hurl their energy across the At- lantic, to have the almost impercept- ible impulses register on the insensi- tive coherers and crystal detectors. Even the famous ocean liners of thon'4 'days, the "Republic," "Tjtanic," "01- ymmpic," "Baltic," "Lusitania" and. "Maurentania," had to get within a few ,hundrel miles of shore before their sparks could be heard by the coastal stations. Gradaully, however, sci e no e strengthened these threads of com- munication. The high -frequency alter- nators sent out long waves to sweep across the sea. Only a strong mag- netic storm could interrupt their communication. Then came .the radio electron tube, both as a detector and as a' powerful generator that ,could stir electromagnetic waves. These waves struck distant,shores with such force that the Atlantic, as far as radio was concerned, became a mill pond.. . The Anglo-American radio link thus forge] electronically was unbreakable. Science defied Nature, and now the strongest magnetic storm can be dodged and Nature outwitted. There have been times when the aurora bor- ealis scintillated across the northern hemisphere, and with its long fingers of light 1a,3hed out across the skies as if to 1411 down the wave lengths. Quickly the London traffic was switched to flash from New York to Bueonos Aires, there to automatidibl- ly turn an elbow of a radio detour to Lonlon via the South Atlantic. Today radio symbolizes the strength of Anglo-American relations. The first "S' that fluttered across the Sea from Poldthii signalized a climax in isolation. The three thousand miles of ocean were no longer a barrier to the quick exchange of thoughts and news. Now Britain and America be- cause of radio are "just across the street." Wireless telegraphy is a link be- tween nations. Radio broadcasting is a link between the people of the na- tions. Radio has become the voice of understanling and good- will.

British radio engin, eers picked up at Belfast, Maine, the first international broadcast from Chelmsford. It was relayed to New York for rebroadcast. by WJZ. That evening opened a new ,era in 4nglo- American relations, A month later, on March 12th, Big Ben atop the House of Parliament booMed across the Atlantic to be heard in New York - and Washington for the lardi time, as it struck midnight in London Since that memorable radio event, broadcasting has brought our •two countries ever closer. We have heard British Kings and Prinne Ministers; we have heard British history being made—a King crowned and war de. clared. We have listened in on Bri- tish trials and tribulations, and even in the darkest hours have heard the confident, steadfast gong of Big Ben ring out as an ethereal "Rock of Gib- raltar." We have beard British air- raid sirens screech across the. Atlan- tic; we have listened to eyewitnesses describe the Battle of Britain., of Lon- don afire under terrific pounding from the skies, and British heroism. Britons too have listened -in on our country; they have learned to know the voice of our President as if he were speaking in London. They have heard our Congress; they have heard America declare war on the common enemy, who would destroy ail the tra- ditions and freedom of the Anglo-Am- erican people. By radio we have learned to know each other; inti- mately we have been linked' by radio to understand each other's problems, and to help each other in their solu- tions. The radio -electron tube is a beacon of Anglo -Americanism. The short-wave is OUP common pathway.

The richest man cannot buy .for himself what the poorest man gets free by radio—and that must. hold true on both sides of the sea. As the waters of the Atlantic' sep- arate us, so the unfathomed sea of "the ether" brings us together in ,the twinkling of an eye.

Metal objects, no matter how J mall; are needed for scrap. .A carton placed in the basement or some other convenient spot, as a special Pcontainer for metal scrap, makes collecting easy.
