IKTY TIIOUSAXD IHL-
LAKS was oast into tlie
Atlantic the oilier day by
olliclals t' tlio New York
(Icpartnit'tit )f hrallh. To
Ih specific, something like
H.OtlO.tXK) overripe oranjies were de
stroyed liecause they were not lit for
Hale. Thus L'.'ll tons of foodstuff from
1'orto ICleo and Janmlni were lost nft
cr having been brought a long
distance nt a considerable outlay, says
the New Y'ork Sun.
Again, not long ago, ".'1H bags of
onions were thrown into San Fran
cisco bay because they had deteri
orated in the warehouses and could
not lie sold. These Instances are but
two among many thousands of similar
cases of market losses. They give an
inkling of the enormous wastage In
produce that goes on In the United
States annually, and all because green
vegetables and fresh fruits will re
main edible so long ami no longer.
The loss could be prevented if part of
the moisture in the fruits and vege
tables could be eliminated without In
juring them.
The average citizen does not realize
It, but his watered foodstuffs are levy
ing toll upon him all along the line.
It 'is that moisture content that in
vites deterioration ami decay.
Trace the story n stop back. The
nmrkctinan has to contend with the
same conditions; n goodly percentage
of his stock wilts anil deteriorates
upon bis hands because of the trouble
breeding moisture; and what he sells
must bring a higher irice in order
to fetch n general profit. The whole
saler is confronted by the same prob
lem, because he has to pay charges
for transportation, cover depreciation
in transit, and sell at prices that will
insure a balance on the right side of
his ledger. 1 '
Again, the farmer must ship only
the very best of his produce in order
that his perishable wares may stand
reasonably well their journey to the
markets. As a result, where his fruits
and vegetables ripen cverabundantly
he must count broadly as a loss that
part of his harvest which remains on
his hands, lie must got enough from
his sales to pay for this wastage and
the ultimate consumer sighs at the
prlre thus made necessary.
A possible remedy for this state of
things lies In the process recently per
fected in this country that makes It
practicable to dry fruits and vegeta
bles without Impairing their pnlata-
bleness and their natural nutritive
values. The hard pressed Germans
have already been doing something In
this direction.
The beet and the potato were the
two vegetables that the Germans
worked with on a large scale originally.
Later they took up the drying of beet
tops, potato tops, pens and grains for
the feeding of domestic cuttle. Refore
this. It was the common practice to
pack nway the beet tops In silos,
and quite two-thirds of the orp
wus used In this fashion, but n good
piirt of the ensilage was commonly
npolled by fermentation. It was to
avoid this loss that the Germans re
sorted to drying. The result was it
green, tender fodder containing a
starchy content of per cent. A ton
of fresh leaves made 200 pounds of
the dried foodstuff for cattle. The nu
tritive value was found to he as high
us the more expensive meadow liny.
It was only natural that the Germans
should elaborate their factories for

T
tills work, am! give particular atten
tion to the drying of vegetables for
household use. The Industry whii wide
spread and thriving before the out
break of the war. Indeed. It whs gen
erally recognized that the Germans
were the musters of the art.
The vegetables dried are carrots,
cabbages, kale, potatoes, spinach, tur
nips, etc. They represent the market
surplus which would otherwise rot, and
which, by being dried and packed, can
be kept without fear of spoiling for n
long time. The dried vegetables keep
simply because the better part of flielr
moisture content has been removed.
The thing sounds simple; but the ac
tual process presents dilllcullies.
The process of drying vegetables re
ferred to as having been developed
in this country Is the work of Waldron
Williams, Woodford Ilmnks and Dr.
T. G. Wlechmnnn. Mr. Williams tells
the story of the work of himself and
his associates.
"I never realized how little was
known about the art of drying until
my attention was attracted to It ns n
field of commercial effort," he said. "I
turned to my fellow alumni at Colum
bia university and hunted high. mid
low In the technical libraries, but
when it came to practical details none
of these sources of Information wus
of material aid.
"Finally we decided tolnake our own
experiments, and something like two
years ago we hit upon the working
principles of our method.
"( lur patents have not yet been Issued,
although they have been allowed, and
therefore I do not feel warranted In
going into particulars. I'.roadly, how
ever, the process consists In utilizing
air currents at relatively low tempera
ture, which serve to draw out and
carry off the moisture In the cut-up
vegetables while leaving them unim
paired in flavor and nutritive value,
l'lease observe that the vegetables are
raw and not parboiled or in any way
cooked at the time they are subjected
to the moisture extracting process.
"We are able to control the volume
of the air currents and their tempera
ture to a nicety. The time required to
dry the products depends essentially
upon the fruits and vegetables dealt
with. The period of treatment ranges
between two hours and something
short of five hours. This can be ap
preciated if one will stop to think how
the watery content of various vege
tables differs.
"For instance, fresh beets contain
K" tier cent of water, cabbages D1..r
per cent, jinlons 87.0 per cent, pota
toes 1 tier cent, and tomatoes ns
much as 04.3 per cent. The larger ttio
volume of water the longer the drying
operation must lie maintained in order
to reduce Ihe moisture content to th'e
desired minimum. I'.y our system we
kept the percentage of moisture well
inside of V.' per cent. This prevents
the development of the microorgan
isms that promote fermentation and
therefore the chemical actions nre
checked or avoided which would stnrt
deterioration and possibly lead to de
cay. "Hefore our tits were working for
the market nt Middle River, Oil.,
Hound I'.rook, N. J., and Webster, N.
V., It occurred to me that it might be
well to visit Germany for the purpose
of seeing how our products compared
with those turned out by the factories
there. I was fortified with letters of
Introduction to the foremost of those
establishments, and logically I chose
to make my first cull upon the man
aging director of the most noted of the
vegetable drying companies.
"He received me in a very hand
somely appointed office, bearing all the
hallmarks of commercial success, and
courteously asked me to explain the
object of my visit. I did this briefly.
At once llerr Dlrektor waved his
hand deprecatlngly and expressed his
sincere regret that I should have come
so far to lay before him anything that
pertained to the art of drying. 'I

".Naturally I was licit disposed to

Kirektor had seen that I had some,

thing else expressed a desire to see
them. It was plain that he was at
mice Interested, and before long he
had six or seven of his technical as
sociates summoned to the olllce, and
they too were impressed.
"The llerr IMrektor dismissed them,
and whe the room was cleared, turned
to me eagerly and said; 'Mr. Williams,
name your price. I did not believe
vegetables could ever be dried to look
like your samples.' As our patents

"How well we have succeeded in re
taining the natural flavor of fresh
vegetables Is evidenced by the testi
mony of a New York housekeeper, a
friend of mine. Merely to satisfy her
curiosity I sent her n packnge of our
dried spinach. The next time I saw

There Is, of course, a direct relntlon
between the house and Its surround
ings, lty this we mean that either the
surroundings must be laid out for the
house, or, us in the case where a spot
of special natural beauty Is selected
for the building site, the house must be
designed for the surroundings. The
latter case obtains In some small towns
and in country estates. The former
case, or a compromise between the
two, exists in the larger towns mid
cities.
I'erbnps it Is not the case in this
country so much as It is in some of
the Kuropean countries, but the fact Is
true, nevertheless, that for the lover of
beauty both natural and architectural,
the small town which has been situated
where nature has furnished plenty of
trees, a pleasing topography nnd clear
wntered streams such a town offers
Ihe best possible site for the building
of a home. The point Is this : It is
cheaper and usually more satisfactory
to let nature furnish the attractive sur
roundings nnd model the home Into the
background, than to build the buck
ground for the home.
Not that those who have studied In

are not able to produce pleasing sur
roundings for the house, for they have
proved their ability to do so. liecause
it is impossible for some lovers of
beauty to go where nature has provid
ed it, the work of the landscape archi
tect Is very Important. The small
town blessed with natural beauty is,
then, not so much to be considered as
the only possible site for the building
of a beautiful home ns It Is to be con
sidered us a spot which offers advan
tages hard to obtain In imitation of na
ture, unless a large sum of money is
available for the purpose.
The question might be asked, "Why
not go to the country where nature's
work has not been marred by the In
roads of 'civilization?'" A logical ques
tion, and in some enses the affirmative
answer is unquestionably the right one.
The man who comes from the city,
however, or even the town, has been
brought up In close touch with the peo
ple around him. His habits have been
formed In the influence of society. I'ut

quires the use of dark-leuved shrub

that the upper dark walls need to be
balanced by a mass of dark color near
the ground. The effect Is carried along
by building the foundation walls above
grade of some dark-colored material
such as may be found among the many
patterns of modern rough-texture face

COMMUNITYIIEALTII
MATTER OF CHOICE
May Be Maintained in Any De
gree That the People Desire,
Say Experts.
Continued Education of Public Along
Sanitary Lines Necessary, De
clare Uncle Sam's
Inspectors.
A very extended and Interesting
study has been made by Uncle Sam's
public-health service on the subject of
public-health administration. As the
result of this long study, officials of the
service have come to the definite con
clusion that community health must be
understood to be an attainable condi
tion, and then thnt practically every"
community may have the degree of
henlthfulness which it desires to secure
and with which It Is satisfied.
Sanitary regulations, the experts say,
ofien Interfere temporarily with indi
vidual comfort and family manage
ment, and the statement often holds
that any Interference which tends to
protect the health of the community
is considered unwarranted interference
with vested rights.
Individual Effort Ineffective.
The old idea, It is pointed out by
officials of the service, that one's
health is his ovn business, Is based
upon false and unfounded premises,
and hus no standing In the sanitary
code of today. In the past, Individual
effort to protect oneself against Infec
tion from without has generally proved
Ineffective, they say, nnd the appear
ance of epidemics called for more con
certed action.
The earlier efforts In public health
work found expression In local com
munities before being token up by the
state. However, progress In smaller
towns and villages has In many In
stances, the experts say, remained at a
standstill. This lack of progress has
often been due, it has been found, to
a certain civic pride which has defeat
ed any attempt to change the old order
of things, or to co-operate with neigh
boring communities in promoting meas
ures for the betterment of all con
cerned. Local Boards Weak.
Although theoretically responsible
for the health of the communities they
represent, local boards of health are
today, generally speaking, . the weak
est elements In the public-health ma
chinery that Is so slowly being built
up for the physical welfare of the na
tion, according to these experts of
Uncle Sam. Aside from certain rou
tine matters, such as the enforcement
of old-fashioned quarantine, the pla
carding of some of tlio cuses of conta
gious disease that happen to have been
reported, and fumigating at the termi
nation of some of them, their activi
ties are too often expended In attempt
ing to abate common nuisances or set
tling neighborhood disputes over a
chicken pen or carting away and bury
ing dead animals functions more fit
ting for the police department.
The study of the public health serv
ice on this subject has shown that the
public has been slow, especially In ru
ral communities, In accepting the sim
ple facts of preventable diseases. Con
tinued efforts to educate the Individual
as well as the public at large, the ex
perts say, must be made, because suo
cess In public-health organization and
idministrntion depends upon the co
operation as well ns the moral and
financial support of the community.
The same general laws, it Is pointed
out, govern health and disease in the
city and the country. 1
The Two Sides.
The conflict of this world Is between
the material and the splritunl. The
European war Is an Illustration of it
That is material. All wars are ma
terial, because they depend on force,
nnd force Is material. Guns, powder,
dreadnaughts, battles are all material.
Good will, reason, faith, friendship,
aspiration are all spiritual. Now the
most practical Issue of the day Is by
which Influence is the world to be
ruled? If by materialism, we use hate,
laughter, devastation, blood and ex

dustry Have Resulted In Estab
lishing Big Herds.
With all the faithful pioneering that
has been carried on In Alasku, with all
the enterprising development of the
past few years, vast stretches of the
interior still remain unknown and un
explored. The latitude of Alaska Is very near
ly that of Norway and Sweden. Fam
ilies from the Scandinavian countries
take particular delight In settling
there, and similar conditions naturnlly
suggest similar occupations. Stock in
this country can feed Itself through
out tlite winter months.
Lnrge trnets of grassy land with
their rich grazing possibilities suggest
ed stock, the long winter demanded
that the stock be hardy, Scandinavians
and other settlers knew thnt reindeer
would stand the gaff. Reindeer were
brought. In 1S02 Uncle Sam decided
to use his Influence in the establish
ment of reindeer breeding ns n defi
nitely organized Industry, nnd in that
year a herd was Imported from Si
beria. For ten years annual Importations
continued ; during that period 1,200
were brought over. Now 70,000 nnl
nmls graze the plains and valleys from
Nome to the farthest Aleutian Island.
Of these, 40.000 are owned by the
natives and native herds are acquired
through a system of apprenticeship.
The native whose work Is approved
by the superintendent In charge of his
district is given six deer at the end
of his first year.
Since Its Introduction the Industry
has spread throughout the southwest
ern portion of the territory, it Is car
ried on with profit on the islands, and
each year a large surplus Is reported.
This surplus will in time develop
Into one of the most Important sources
of the meat supply of the United
States, it Is expected.
Secretary Lane is a strong believer
In the future of the reindeer Industry.
He believes that the phenomenal
growth of the Alaskan herds will con
tinue in the future as It .has in the
past, and that with the improved
transportation facilities resulting from
the completion of the new government
railroad, reindeer venison will occupy
a conspicuous place on the American
dinner table of the future.
TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN
Uncle Sam's Experts Would Have
Country Profit by Experience of
Europe In War Time.
Thousands of children besides waf
orphans and refugees have been direct
ly affected by the war, according to re
ports from belligerent countries which
have come to Uncle Sam's children's
bureau. Juvenile delinquency has In
creased, more children have been em
ployed under adverse conditions, spe
cial, measures have been necessary to
protect the health of mothers and ba
bies, and home life has been broken up
by the increased employment of moth
ers. The bureau believes that the expe
rience of other countries should be
carefully considered in order that all
possible provision may be made to
prevent similar hurm to children in
the United States.
A preliminary survey of the foreign
conditions emphasizes the Importance
of a strict enforcement of all child la
bor and school Attendance laws and a'
generous development of Infant welfare
work by public and private Bgenole
it Is declared
travagance. If by spirituality, we
use gentility, generosity, kindness, fra-
ternlty and consideration. There Is a
great abyss between the two, and poor
human nature declines to bridge It nd
