Drying Pumpkin.
Pumpkins are bulky vegetables to
store—why not try (something new
this year and dry them? It requires
n sharp knife, some ‘‘elbow grease,” a
little common sense, and sunshine.
There are two ways of preparing
pumpkins for drying, and both are
satisfactory. Cut into cne-half inch
strips, pare and clean. Blanch three
minutes. Cold dip, remove surface
moisture by pressing between clean
towels and spread on drying trays,
Matters or dripping pans. Spread a
single thickness of paper or thin mus
lin first. The drying time is three to
four hours, starting at 110 degrees F.
and raising gradually lo 140 degrees
F. These pumpkins may be cut in
rings instead of strips and these rings
hung up over the kitchen stove or in
the sun.
Unless the air is very dry, the time
required will be longer if the drying
is done in the sun than in a drier, but
less watching is necessary and the
product will have an excellent flavor.
Hasty Pudding.
There is nothing like the old fash
ioned “hasty pudding" or “stirabout”
for a light meal or luncheon. This
same p 1 elding or mush was a staple
article of diet back in Colonial days,
and it was so popular with our fore
fathers that from the first ripening of
the new corn till another crop came
around it graced the table daily, serv
ed in various ways, but chiefly as
mush and milk.
Children thrive and fatten on it, and
as a rule they were far healthier than
the little folk of today, whe in many
instances have their food almost pre-
digested for them.

A Trial Is Convincing.
m “ There's a Reason ”
WILL TAKE TWO YEARS
TO DEM0B0LIZE ARMY
New York.—At least two years will
be required to complete the demobiliz
ation of the American forces in France
according to estimate of the Allied
military leaders. General Coleman Du
Pont, who has just ret.rned from a
two months’ trip to the wes'ern fr:nt,
where lie conferred with high ofliciais
in each of the Allied governments,
brought this estimate back as the
minimum expectation of the army of
fleials.
"The military officials have be- n
urging us to think in terms of a long
war,” said General DuPont, “and now
they are equally insistent that we be
gin to accustom ourselves to the
thought of a long demobilization.
There is an immense task ahead of
our forces when peace is declared. As
one of our generals said to me, “Tell
the people back home that it will be
two years at least before they see us
all. We have a year’s work just to
: ntangle the barbed wire thnt has
been strung back and forth across
France.”
“It must never he said of America
that she left her task half done,” he
coniinued. "We owe everything to
France, and our men will have to
stand by until they have done what
they can to set her on the road to
restoration. And while they stand 1 y
ever there it is going to be tremen
dously important that we stand by
them over here.
“This fact gives double importance
to tbe United War Work campaign,
which 1 am glad to find is so well un
der way. No .one who has not lived
with our boys can imagine how vitally
Important the service cf these seven
great organizations is. No one who
has studied the history of other wars
can overstate their importance in the
demobilization. The civil war destroy
ed the careers of hundreds of promis
ing ycung men. It turned them back
into civil life weakened and purpose
less. This war mrst not do that. The
boys who have sacrificed so much to
win it must come back stronger and
better men than when they left.
“1 found the war work agencies in
France making statesman-like prepar
ations for this trying period. Every
hut In France Is to become a universi
ty classroom on the day that peace is
signed. Ander the direction of leading
educators and business men from this
country the boys will be given every
educational advantage. The enter
tainment and recreational work will be
largely increased, for with the coming
of peace not merely part of the time,
but all the time, of the hoys will have
to bo provided for."
FLOUR SUBSTITUTE
RULE IS REVOKED

administration requiring the sale of

ed.
D. L. McRae, food administrator for
Bibb county, Wednesday received in
