value they yield.

•ou can pack awtay enough dried food for the winter's needs of a small family on one or two shelves. It does not pay to dry lima b»-ans or in fact any of the bean family. These are such staplf articles that they can be bought cheaply enough to make It unnecessary to do the drying at home. But berries, apricots, peaches, pears ' other small fruits should be dried If there is not space or equipment for canning. Dried tomatoes also are a great convenience, t-.klng up less space than the cans, and yielding much more pulp and flavor at a smaller

price.

The Italians have long had dried tomatoes, but the article Is still more of a rarity with the American families Their method is to stew fresh tomatoes very slowly without any water being added whatever. This is done until most of the water content of the v.-ge-tabels has evaporated an(l or4y the pulp remains in the saucepan. This must be stirred frequently, of course, to prevent burning, and should simmer over a slow flame very gently. Finally, the pulp is squeezed through a colander. the liquid being used for soup making or other immediate purposes. The pulp is spread out on boards and left to dry in the sunshine. When perfectly dry these strips of tomatoes &.e packed tightly in jars or crocks and sealed. Thus they keep indefiniteone or two tablespoonfuls will season as richly as a small can of tomatoes. For drying berries, be sure only the good ripe ones. Spread three layers on a baking tin and place on back of the stove or leave In a slow oven until the scalding point is reached. Then leave In a warm place

let .he moisture evaporate slowly. This may take from 36 to 18 hours. Then replace all the berries in a hot oven to come to boiling point. This is simply done to sterilize completely. Pack tightly in small pails or tins and cover the top of the can with several thicknesses of newspaper before clamblnk on the lid It should,

of course, be tightly sealed.

Spinach, string beans and many other available vegetables may be left to dry In a slow oven, but always there should bo only enough heat to dry them slowly—not sufficient to bum or start cooking. During the heating process the fruit or vegetables should be

watched and sUtred occasionally.

With enough apples In sight this year for everybody in the United States to have almost a bushel eacb, housewives can plan on putting up a plentiful supply of apple jelly and apple butter. Not only Is there an unusually heavy crop forecast (the Department of Agriculture estimates it 97,764,000 bushels) but a shortage of barrels will prevent the usual quantity of apples from going into cold storage. This will probably result in apiles going on the market as they are picked, thus lowering the price, in come apple producing centers, growers are offered only 40 cents a bushel. At such prices, housewives will be able to preserve apples this fall In large quantities. Apples are one of he most desirable fruits for jelly-mak ng. Crab apple jelly is always a favorite dish and other varieties make jelly which may be flavored with other fruits or spices. If the apples are acid it Is not necessary to use any flavoring. To make jelly that will not crystallize, the right proportion of sugar must be added to

the fruit juice.

Another condiment is apple butter. This is made a little later in the apple season when farmers begin to make cider. It can easily be made at home by boiling cider and ground apples with the proper amount of sugar.

The affair, of that day and the fatigue are sure to be reflected In your manner, and you will not appear at your besi or be able to convince the new employer of your

The newspapers offer no end of Ideas for the girl who wants to do something different or Improve the line she already follows. Advertisemenu to the girl who wants to go ahead, but sometimes the best opportunities are not adverti-ed and : re found only through a friend or the employment agencies, so that it Is well register In several places and give a full history of your ability. Very often a girt who has followed one special line of work for some time hesitates to branch out In those sister departments which demand spreial work along that particular line and fall to mention their ability to do this work the time thiy register. If all the various lines of work and the special training to each girl l» recorded the unusual position is surer to And Its way to you than if yon simply register i i cleric or stenographer. In paying off a very efficient girl who was going to a better position employer remarked. "You know. Miss Brown. If you had told me when • that you could do thU work I would have paid yoji much more, but you were not sure .and. of course. I took you at your word." That girl forgot the statement, and since then has always thought out carefully all the possible work she could do before starting out. and then, when questioned, answered firmly and certainly every question. The result has that Insipid of taking small tasks to do with small pay. she has steadily climbed upward, taking on more and more difficult work, and giving more satisfactory service. Most girls are afraid of thems-lves and hesitate to extol *helr own possibilities. Of course, there are some girls who do nothing but boast, and we all know they are usually the class who are constantly hunting a new position because their last was large for them. They looked so much and thought so much of their perfectness that they failed ulterly * realize that the employer did not ie them with the same eyes. There are a few girls dressed plainly and in such a manner as to make one think of nc special part of that dress but to remember only the general neatness and suitability, with shoes blackeed and straight of heel, hair netted and not blowing heedless. neatly gloved, who are bonnd to attract the business man. Havinr been attracted, he looks next at the and much la determined by this feature. Clear, strong wide twake eyes convince the most prejudiced, for of the business world are not paying giddy girls to adore their offices. They may want these giddy ones later on to amuse them, but in the office, where much depends upon the mind and hands of the girls, he wants a gir‘ who can think in an emergency If necessary. And the girl whose eyes are interested and wideawake is sure to have that quality which is so dependable in tests. ^s the gl'l talks to the possible employer she gains many points If she alks to the point and :uakes clear statements. An evasive answer will make him suspicious of your ability answer given without bravado causes him to feel sure of ycu and that you are worth his employing. Make up your mind what is a just and fair salary before the Interview and state that salary without hesitation. It may seem strange, but 11 Is often the case, that the girl who timidly suggests a lew wage, falls to get the position where the girl demands the larger salary gets it. There Is a great deal of psychology in that—the girl with the timid wage makes the employer believe that she has a poor thing to offer .something is not sure of and would sell cheap: whereas, the other girl who Mates a larger wage and sticks t is apt to give the impression of worth and ability. And. since he is looking for the best on the market, he employs the girl at the larger salary. Of course, the girl who Is Just starting out must expect to take time to adjust herself—to find her place, and she cannot expect to receive large salaries until she has become accustomed to the business world. The new position should not picked f r just a moment, but with careful thought as to what the work will do for you as well aa what the girl can do for it. She must not v blindly as sometbthlng which means only wasted hours. Each task should have Its place toward training to better things. And we oiten wonder Just what, wai ted hours are.

Porter Wins

The mayor of Riverside'has been •e-e|ected to office. And It Is a strange, case. In the betting ring the odds would have been 1000 to 1 against

him.

This mayor presided over the town if Riverside during the "flu” epidemic, says the Los Angeles Times. In order lo set up an additional preventive against the spread of the disease he Issued an edict that there should be no kissing In that town. He made it unlawful for a man to kiss hls own wife. You "wouldn't daaf kiss the prettiest girl in Riverside, and that's u big word, for Riverside Is Just llterally jammed with pretty girls. If you were to. sec the prettiest girl in Riverside you would risk the "flu." lumbago, mumps. Charley horse and every other misery to kiss he- You would walk a tight rope across Niagara Falls on a windy day to do it. But. If you did, and It was when the “flu" was rampaging around there. Mayor Porter's policeman would slam you Into the calaboose and all the lawyers in California couldn't get you "This Is the last time he will ever he Mayor." was what they all said. And certainly It looked like It. Everybody was mad. Yet, here comes along another election. and there is the honorable mayor just where he was. booked for another term, his same old chair waiting nice and cozy for him in th? city hall. It Is indeed a true saving that jiolltlra Is like a cat. "No one can tell which way it will jump. But there must be something more than that back ot the re-cleltion of Mayor Porter. There must be something un usual aboutthe man himslf. The Latest Gossip . Among the Vitamines Ever}- month we have a few more disconcerting facts about the vitamine. For example: A fresh young carrot has over three times as much antiscorbutic vitamine as a fresh but old carrot. Both the age and the methoor of cooking a food may have touch effect on this valuable food i'om. Dried milks keep their vitamine value and may be used for children If •range juice is fed . Condensed milk, on the other hand, supplies very lit* tie antiscorbutic. Potatoes may or may not guard against scurvy, according to how they are cooked and how much Is eaten. It is “thumbs down" for the boiled potato, especially with the skin off. Too high temperatures and too long cooking are death to the vitamine that may. however, survive cooking under less strenuous conditions. For example, of four pigeons on the same ration of com and barley and peas, the two whose food was healed in a pressure cooker at 15 pounds pressure for 25 hours died in 40 days, but the two whose food was heated only 35 minutes were doing well after 280 days. There Is nothing momentous about ■itamines. Each little vitamine has habits of its own. Glittering generalities are their abhorrence. And furthermore the same food varies not only with age and the treatment it has re eived, but with Its production— vegetables with the soil and animal ood with feeding of the animal. Buterfat, the great purveyor of growthpromoting vitamines. varies In U s regard with the feeding of the cow, >n standing, and on pasturizaUon. The humble cabbage eaten raw, carols. fresh milk and yeast are all notable sources of these “protective foods.” Our scientists are hot on the rail of the vitamine. but the end is not •et, not apparently for a long time yet. All this appears from the work of Mii-guerite Davis of the Home Economics Laboratory of the University of Wisconsin, as set forth in a recent lumber of the Journal of Home Economft <. Treasurer John E. McDougaid of the San Francisco treasury department will use an airplane for taking the payroll from City Hall up the Sierras, Journey from the different locations at the Various tunnel mouths, sawmills and dam sites, as well as to the men t.1 outlying points at Lake Eleanor and Helch Hetchy proper.
