for drying fruits and vegetables
besides tne comforting assurance
that thoroughly dried foods will
keep perfectly. Dried foods lake
up a small amount of slotuge'

All fruits and vegetables must
be fresh young, tender and of
first quality. Just as in canning,

Of course the first thing to do
is to wusii and clean wbutever

trays for drying.

for 30 seconds

If you are drying a small quan

the oven door open a few inches

Stir the com occasionally as It
dries When perfectly dry store in
an air-tight container.
When you use dried foods you
must restore the water that you
have removed Then you can pre-

soups and all kinds of made dishes
such as souffles and scallops Frit

Parents are frequently told, if
having difficulty with an unco-op-
erative child, that the best way to
win him to greater effort Is to
make him responsible for certain
tasks. The theory is that he either
does them and enjoys the benefits
or neglects them and suffers the
natural consequences.
Now this Is in many respects a
good theory but unfortunately a
lot of parents find that it doesn't
work. There are two basic reasons
for these failures. One, the child
may be too young for the chosen
task. Feeding pets, for instance,
has too dire consequences if ne
glected to be handed over to a
child under ten without super
vision.
The other mistake parents make
is in giving children responsitMUty
in cases where what they really
want from them is obedience. We
shouldn't, for example, give a bo.
of any age responsibility for keep
ing snow off the sidewalks in win
ter or the grass cut in summer 11
these are his jobs we should exact
obedience in getting them done, for
the consequences of their being
left undone would be far more un
pleasant for the rest of the family
than for the boy himself. Icy side
walks to skate on clear to the
door and tall waving grass to run
through in summer would please
most boys tremendously. They pro
bably think your ideas on the
subject just grownup nonsense
anyway, with the sole purpose ol
robbing them of their leisure. Thus
the penalty for disobedience here
would have to be denying the child
something he prizes—such as a
fishing trip or Dad's participation
in a ball game—because a smooth
lawn and clean sidewalk mean
responsibility by having a child
But you can teach a sense of
re-sporuribility by having a child
take over a project in which he is
interested—such as a picnic lor his
pals—and not stepping in when his
interest flags and doing all the
work yourself. And you should
give him the responsmility, as soon
as he is old enough, of caring for
his toys, his books, his collection
of stamps or stones or what not.
If they are lost or broken m a re
sult of his carelessness he should
be let do without. On the other
hand, you can't give a child res
ponsibility for the care of his
clothes, for if he loses a cap or
gloves in cold weather you would
not make him go without replace
ments at the risk of his health.
You can, of course, try to train
him through pride in his appear
ance to value his clothes and to
treat them accordingly.
But what we are saying is, that
training, obedience and responsibil
ity are three different aspects of
discipline and knowing when to
use one or the other comes with
experience and thinking things
through before you start.
