DEHYDRATION DREAMS COMING TRUE
Many readers of The Statesman are familiar with the
subject of dehydration, for the editors of this paper have
from the first been impressed with the great importance of
- this new method of food conservation - V - ,
New, as applied to the processes of; the King's Food
Products company, owning and operating I the Salem plant,
which may be considered the parent plant,5 and which is the
largest of its kind, and situated for the largest expansion
1 Old as the race, as applied to the preservation of food
by the various forms of drying f :i -1 i W;vr -7 . :f ;
.But dehydration as known at the Salem, plant is more
than drying; vastly more, and the process is protected by
: some numerous patents, t , : :: ' ' f f:''"
The word dehydration means merely taking the water
out, as students of Greek and, Latin know. .j!VSt .
But dehydration as knowuhere is taking: Just enough of
thz: water put (all but about 10 per cent) and doing it in
c. :h a way as to leave sufficient in to preserve intact the
ral food cells; and in such a way as to allow all the fla
. - and all the freshness '.to remain, so that it may be re
i - . J In perfection at the point of consumption; at any time
i. r. 1 any; where under the shining sun, by ithe mere putting
t-cli cf. the amount of water that has been, taken out here.
'S That makes commercial dehydration.' j :". - : r .
And that is the biggest thing in the world in food con
rrvation. . . , ' ' -
It will mean the saving of billions of dollars in freight
charges, heretofore paid out in shipping water
; And in shipping sugar, r' i j , -n ,
f And in shipping glass jars and tin cans,', :
t And in shipping heavy crates and boxes,'
And m shipping ice. ,.'

The Cootie- He
No Insect ever got as much pub
licity, and was as little known to
folks as the "cootie," which was
the worst enemy" of all the soldiers
in the great - warv Everybody,
knows, from ' hearsay,- that the
cootie is' disagreeable, but: why?.
: Cooties have been In constant
association with men so long that
they cannot i live unless they live
upon men. i A newly : hatched
cootie will die within 24 hours af
ter :iis birth if he does not get
fed on human blood. No other
food will do, 1 Adult cooties are
able to exist for 12 days without
human blood, but' after that time
they, - too, - would - die if deprived
of their ration.4 : ? "' .-! ;
.. -Cpoti la Sensitive;
Despite his ugliness . and his
mean disposition, the cootie Is a
very sensitive : Insect where ; tem

will promptly desert a man if the
man gets a slight" fever of If the
bodjrtemperature ' drops : slightly
below normal. , - 7' 3 r
.-In his eating habits. Mr. Cootie
Is" a model of regularity, eating
else. One day he was swimming
along when he met old MrBass.
Now. Mr. Bass taught e school of
f ishes, and Bebjy imagined that
he must know a terrible lot. "I
guess Til ask him what I can do
to become a .frog," thought Ben-
v vr v - '
Mr. Bass' scratched his scales
a nd thought deeply. rWelI, he
said. 'I have heard of cases in
history where Just- wishing! hard
enough has brought about; the
thing desired.' I would advise you
to wish and wish every day to be
a frog. - In the morning when
yon crawl out of bed you must pat
your head three times and say,
'.Every day-: and in every way I
want to be 1 a Irog. After ; three
weeks of j such wishing there
ought to he some result."
Benjy did as Mr. Bass suggest
ed and, sure enough. In even less
than three .weeks he turned into

the wonderful miracle that hap
pened to him just because he

h Now Benjy Tadpole had la; lit

become s fro?, r But she Ionised
with ail her might to be a bird.
. Dehydrated products may go-to the tropics or to the
frozen lands near the poles, and' be brought! to the full excel
lence of fresh ripe fruits and vegetables right from the trees
and vines by the mere restoration of the water taken out at
the factory, , ? H v VlV "'-21" '.
, . And other billions will in time be saved by the! dehydra
tion of crops not readily marketable for any reason; on ac
count of a glut caused by a strike or through any number of
conceivable causes. r , . V -
Commercial dehydration, with headquarters at Salem,
furnishes the long sought missing j link between' an over
abundance at any one point and a scarcity at tCny other v point
in the wide world. j .
It is the most important missing link in food conserva
tion ever found by mortal man
. And for Salem this means great things. '
As it is worked out in its successive steps, it means the
absolute insurance, the absolute stabilizing, of a high tide of
prosperity here. , , 5 : -? 1
It means that any industrious man may buy at present
value any one of thousands of pieces of land in the Salens
district, and pay for it, and more, with the crops, under any
reasonable amortization plan. v ; : -
There are a number . of striking articles concerning de
hydration in The Statesman of this morning. They show
some new phases of a great vision r ,
A vision the following of which will multiply many times
the cash expenditures annually here for fruits and vegetables
and for the turning of them into marketable products to be
used the wide world over 1 ; , ? r
Making a magnet drawing dollars to. be used here from
ever widening distances , '
For all the money is or may be left here, excepting that
spent for the nails on the; outside boxes or crates. ;. Now that
iron mines are being developed in Columbia county, perhaps
the money for even the nails may ultimately be left in this
district. I j 1 - f
The story of dehydration, already unfolded, is a fascinat
ing one. ; It grows on the imagination from year to year as
the idea is further developed and worked out along practical
lines.' i . ' .--I '
The Salem dehydration plant worked at one tinle last
year about 1000 people. It will within a few years need 2500.
And then there Will be only a beginning made of the ultimate

SHAKESPEARE IN A TUXEDO
In Birmingham, England, the

Shakespeare's plays - Were greater

the experiment proved was the ex

There are plenty of native coot

The government took great care
to get the men rid bt all foreign

reason for that was that the for

What Is the reason for assum

I waited wlyi good deal of in

Foster and Dr. Pettit at the hospi
tal door. They were possessed of
such diametrically opposed tem
peraments that I. wondered at the
outcome of. a .clash between their
wills such as had seemed inevita
ble i when they tookvi the child of
the -wounded woman lntj the hos

again and walked toward the car
I saw that' Miss Foster's youthful
volatile spirits had triumphed over
her own temper, and the physic
ian's outraged dignity.; -' She was
chatting volubly, and smiling up
ward into Dr. Pettit's face in such
attractive fashion that I did not
wonder at the almost fatuous gaze
he was bending upon her. ; '
That the sight of his admiring
look embarrassed and piqued me,
made me furious with myself. ' I

that he was studying his problem
as calmly and thoroughly, as if .he
were in his office at-home. '
I was afraid; and X think X i
showed it. But apparently the
speed i he was making was. only
a' fillp to Miss Foster's spirits.
She sa.t erect, swaying with each
swerve of the car, her eyes spark

physician's skill In safely driving
the car at such a speed was mak
