FATEFUL FRIDAY PROVED LUCKY (Continued from Page One) enough to have a few white-caps 1 am beautifully sun-burned —got it sleeping in the sun. There is a very congenial bunch of people in the unit —the doctors are all very nice, and lots of fun. One man sings very nicely and a couple of them play, so we have been having nice music. My two roommates are lovely. Ruth is a nice, unassuming, jolly girl. Mrs. Whitten Is a woman about forty, I think, who has lived abroad a great deal, and has nursed in a war hospital a year and a half. Her husband is dead and her son, a young fellow In Harvard, died of meningitis, about two years ago. She is doing this of course to keep busy and keep her mind off her own troubles. She Is one of the most charming women I have ever known. Our meals are a very pleasant surprise—we expected to have army fare but we’re given the regular ship meals. We have four or five courses for lunch, a six-course dinner. We have all the delicacies from fresh mushrooms and squabs to goose and turkey. At eleven in the morning we have bouillon—lunch at I:oo—tea at 4:oo—dinner at 7:00. Every day we have boat drill—we of course are assigned boats—and when we hear five short blasts of the whistle or even revolver shots we rush to our rooms, grab our life belts and hurry to the designated spot—all the women are ordered not to wear corsets the entire trip. It suits me all right, but most of the nurses are big and fat. The ship’s captain is one of the funniest men I ever knew—he calls me "infant” every time he sees me. He’s a Finn and speaks rather broken English. One day he said to one of the doctors: “Well, it’s a fine, husky bunch of nurses you have—but its no entertainment to look at them.” Wednesday, July 18. Nights on the Atlantic are the most wonderful you can imagine. There has been no moon so far, just bright star-light. It’s rather gruesome, too, when you think of this large ship going on full speed in total darkness. Even though I tell you how careful they are about lights, you can't conceive of the care and precaution that is taken unless you were right here. The other, night I was walking with the officer of the day and we noticed a litle gleam of light coming through the key-hole of the captain's room. Let me tell you no time was lost in stopping it up. The lights are usually turned out before we get into bed and we have to grope around in absolute darkness. The only thing we can see is the silhouette of the guard outside our portholq. For three nights the guards have reported flashes of light from either the drawing room or dining room about two o’clock. So now guards have been posted everywhere. ’ They seem to fear a spy is on board and flashing to some one. Yesterday we saw the first- ship—she heliographed to us saying ishe was from England, bound for South America. The ship is manned with three guns and of course there is a lieutenant and about twenty men from the navy. This morning they threw out a target and had gun practice. Those big guns (six-inch) certainly boom out —shake the whole ship. You know the Mongolia was the ship which fired the first gun in the war. And it also was on this ship where the two nurses were killed—in fact I am sitting right now where they were when the shell struck them. They tell us the cap went out—(how far they don’t know—perhaps two miles) boomeranged, and returning, hit an iron post and exploded. Os course no one is allowed on deck during gun practice. I see at the first of this letter I said that we’d probably have to be off deck at 9:00, but that is a mistake. We usually go in between fO and 10:30. Sunday, July 22, 1917. On reading over what I've already written 1 realize that part of this | may be cut out by the censor. I itiope not. The last two nights we have been ( in the danger zone—last night was I the worst. Two ships were sunk yesterday at a point which we reach'ed last night about 10 o’clock. We scared up a submarine there which chased us for some time. Today wc are supposed to be in the very heart 'of the danger zone but wc are per- : fectly safe. This morning we had church. 1 sang Mendelssohn’s “Hear My PrayI er." which, by the way. is not nearly las well appreciated nor to the point .as the song lam enclosing. Every , evening we gather on the deck listening to the enlisted boys sing this one and many other similar ones to the accompaniment of a ukelele. 1 see Pitts once in a while and

when 1 do I always have a little offering for him candy or fruit that I I take from the steward. You see we're traveling first-class and the enlisted mon third This will be the last I’ll write in this letter as we will undobutcdly land early in the morning. There ' is no use telling where we land because tlie censor would certainly cut 1 It out. 1 1 will not try to write serial let- ’ ters any more because most of the 1 things that happen 1 probably will 1 be unable to write, anyway. 1 forgot to tell you that if a bill ' conies fhmi Schettler’s send it to Mr. Andries, as it is the laboratory ' bill, and not personal. ' Don't forget Mom, to send the wool 1 for my sweater to Dorothy. 1 I know how much you must have 1 worried—still I’m hoping that you’ll get my cable before you think I’m in ' the danger zone. Give my love to Linda an<j Har- ' vey, and all the rest —family and 1 friends. With love to all, REE. 1 My address will be American Red ' Cross Base Hospital.

I , Can and CAN NOW says today’s ’ today’s PqS: tgeyr,. cjtMk.. bulletin from the National Emergency 1 Food Garden Commission of WashingI ton, which is co-operating with this ! paper in a nation wide campaign for ! the conservation of the products of ’ your war gardens. The commission’s 1 campaign has been on for a month ( now and any of these lessons you may have missed will be found in the canning and drying manuals which the commission will send you free for a two cent stamp to pay postage. Today’s lesson is on onions and leeks. i Only well matured onions should ne ■ used for drying. Remove the tops, roots and the outside papery covering then slice in one-eighth inch pieces and dry as soon as possible. Another way is to blanch in boiling water for five minutes after slicing and then dry in thin layers as aboue. Leeks may he handled in the same way as onions except the strips are a little thicker. Drier Potatoes; sweet and Irish — ■ Use only sound mature ones. Wash and boil or*steam until nearly done. Peel, run through meat grinder or ricer and spread on trays in thin layer unitl brittle. Toasting slightly after drying will improve flavor. Anoth- ' er method is to cut in one-quarter in. ■ I slices instead of mincing, the rest of 1 the process being the same. i Pumpkins and .squash should be sound and well ripened. Cut cross- , wise, peel and remove all seeds and 'soft parts. Cut in one quarter inch . slices and dry on trays or on string. . If desirable the vegetable may be cyt I into one half inch strips, peeled and the seeds and soft parts removed, •then blanched in boiling water for three minutes after which the strips are dried as above. HOME DRYING OF FRUITS (Unite,! Press Service) Indianapolis, August 27—Prediction that desiccated fruits, fish and vegetables will increase greatly in commercial value as a result of compul--1 sory food saving resulting from war, ' was made here today by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, Indiana's food administrator, j Through the United Press, Barnard issued the following statement: “The home drying of fruits and vegetables. an almost forgotten practice lias become popular again and many bags of dried greens, peas, beans and fruits have been carefully prepared and put away for future use. It is probable that some of all of this thrifty hoarding will be disappointing. ' The fruits will mould and the vegc- ' tables become stale and unpalatable, but out of all the successes and failure ( there is bound to come a greater appreciation of the real value of dessicated foods. As a matter of fact, such foods are by no means unknown in this , country. There are many dried m’lk products on the market, dried eggs -ne 'extensively used by bakers, dried ap- , pies peaches, prunes and raicons, i which may be classed as semi-dessi- [ cated because they still contain considerable moisture and are staple food. 1 EVERYBODY INVITED. j c The annual Illinois picnic will be -' held Thursday of this week. August a 31, at the Henry Haggard grove, near i Monroe. This event is held each b year, the last Thursday in August, t and is given by those who formerly ’• lived in Illinois. It is always a hapIpy event and this year they hope to 1 make it more so. by asking . cvery--jone, neighbors and friends and any y. oiv* who will, to join them in the bis t 1 basket picnic. .
