The principle of dehydration particularly as applied to fruits has been known throughout the ages; but application of that principle In thoroughly satisfactory way 1m a very recent development. Dehydrated foods are natural products from which the water only has been removed. If the water Is restored th product returns, to a condition o closely approaching that of the fresh that when ooked It Is In all rssenttaln cnmparahle wlih the fresh. No chemicals are needed in the, new process no sulphur to bleach or dye to Imitate the natural color. These products have been found by Department of Agriculture experts to have the same nutritive value as the fresh and they are practically unaltered, when properly cooked. In physical texture and lltt'e affected In tarte. Army officers have Investigated these dried products carefully for barrack and camp life and considering them from all standpoints, testify almost unqualifiedly in their favor. Dietitians in hospitals commend tV 3 h:&UUful-

The civilian population has found properly dehydrated fooda practically as good as the fresh) vegetable for. which they are substituted and more economical. The Subsistence Division of the Quartermaster's Department of the Army has purchased several thousand tons of dehydrated products for use in France. , Dehydration reduces bulk from one-third to one-fifth and weight from one-sixth to one-twelth. This process will conserve great quantities of vegetables and fruits that would otherwise go to waste. It will, through the use of mechanical devices, eliminate waste from trlm ming, paring, coring, avoid unnecessary handling, and be an enormous) saving in tonnage, and at the same, time lose nothing In attractiveness and palatability. Properly dried products keep Indefinitely, if excluded from moisture, as germs of decay .annot grow on dry material and chemical chants take pl&se in it with extreme slow

How to Grow a Diamond BY FRANK S. CHANCE. . SYNOPSIS 'OF PRECEDING INSTALLMENTS A traveler on a Pullman sleeper hears a man make the assertion that he knows how to grow diamonds. A skeptical friend accuses him of either being a real genius or a liar. Insists on kowing the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Jim tells him that the method was given to him by a prominent Richmond jeweler. The jeweler had formed a diamond-growing club, wherein the members would start by buying a small diamond and later have it exchanged for a larger one. In every exchange the full price paid for the last diamond bought was to be allowed. Jim joins the club and Invests flO in a very small diamond.

"It was little all right but say, Bill, it looked good to me. During the next month I cut down on my cigars a little, side stepped a few shows and quit playing pinochle. When

I again struck Richmond I had fifteen dollars to the good and looked up my friend the jeweler. I traded the mustard seed, as you call it, and my fifteen dollars for a twenty-five dollar stone. A month later I did the same

j trick over again. And so I have kept

up untu now 1 nave a diamond

that no man need be ashamed to

wear and I grew it from that tendollar diamond you saw me wearing out West two years ago." "And is the jeweler still running that club?" asked Billy.

"He is." "What's his name?"
