WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. — In this
article Uncle Snm goes Into detail on
ways you cnn protect your dried fruits
and vegetables and tells you what
dangers.to look out for.
Tin re are two kinds of moths that
will attack them. They are more like
ly to get into the fruit while they are
drying than after they are packed
away. This Is particularly true of
[drying In the sun. One is the Indian
heal moth. It is the most destructive
1 of the two. It Is about three-eighths
or an inch long, and has a cloaked ap
pear: nee, one-third gray and the reBt
copp- .■ brown. The fig moth Is about
the '.me size, but all dark neutral
gray. Along with these usually comes
a minute, flattened chocolate brown
beetle It doos considerable damage.
Theli eggs hatch on the fruit in the
form of whitish or pinkish grublike
eatot| illars. If these are stored away
with fruit (hey will propagate and pro
duce thousands of their kind in the
storage bins. Hence, pack your stuff
In sni ill boxes to prevent tho moths
spreading if there are any in a par
tcular part of the product. Store jn
a cool, dry place.
in sun drying, If the drying racks
are : . reened early in the evening and
at night, the cheesecloth or fly screen
battened down and tho dried fruits
and vegetables stored in tight paper
sacks in a cool place, no danger need
ordinarily bn feared from these in
sects.
As an added precaution, the dried
product may be heated before peing
packed to 140 degrees, long enough to
allow the heat to penetrate throughout
it. This will kill the eggs of the in
sect: If you do this store it promptly,
to prevent infestation.

OGG SENTINELS
GOING PART IN
(By Associated Press)
FRENCH FRONT. Aug. 22. — Dog
sentinels of the French army take
their regular turn of repose together
with their human ocmrades in the
'rest camps" of the second lino, wheie
they arc relieved for a lime .’nil (he
nerve racking thunder of .he cannon
which is their dally lot In the front
trenches.
The Associated Press co-respondent
today say n number of these animals
frisking about with tholr soldier
friends in the waters of a canr.I run
ning through the territory of the Som
me, whence recently the Henna ns
were driven. The dogs appeared to
enjoy their relaxation Just as much
as the men, with whom thev ha I Just |
ynarehed hack from the trenches after
a spoil of duty lasting twelve days.
These dogs, mostly of the sheepdog
species, do most valuable service, at
night more especially, in company
with the lookouts, who have the task
of keeping an unfailing guard on the
front lines. The dogs have become
quite accustomed to the roar and
bursting of shells, which when thj
animals were first sent to the flghtln
line caused them to run off with their
tails drooping.
Now when the human sentlnois are
posted right in face of the enemv ihe
dogs take tip their position quite natu
rally beside them and keep a Hharp
watch over "no tnan’a land." Their
ears perk up at the slightest rustle
in the darkness in front, but the dogs
do not bark or growl. Instead they
call the attention of the soldier Hen
try by wagging their tails and moving
about nervously. On many occasions
they have given notice in this way of
an enemy patrol rqpvlng about stealth
ily in front, and have perceived the
approach of raiding parties of Ger
mans long before their human com
panion* had any idea that any hostile
movement was in progress.
In f.ictra considerable part of Hie
French success in beating off Ger
man raids has been duo to the dog
sentinel's acute vision and hearing.
One battalion of tho famous Alpine
Chasseurs, which possesses a number
of these animals, has, owing to their
alertness, been enabled to prepare
timely defonce on six occasions this
m^inth against German night attacks.
When tho Germans arrived at the
French wire they found the rifle men
waiting for them, tt j were driv
en back with heavy losses, while the
Chasseurs themselves never lost n
man killed.
All tho soldiers nt the front have
learned to have very strong confi
dence in the instinct of tholr dog
companions, who participate in all
their perils and often save them from
death or capture.
Efforts were made to one time to
use dogs as companions of the French
night patrols, which creep out between
the lines to try to see what is going
on In the enemy's trenches. The ex
periment, however, was not entirely
successful, as sometimes two French
patrols would meet and the dogs ac
companying one party would attack
the men composing the other. If the
same men always went out on patrol
duty it would be different, as the dogs
would learn to recognize them even
in the dark, but this Is not possible.
The dogs are placed on the regi /
nental rosters in the same way as i
h<> soldiers and they also draw regu- '
ar rations. In the front trenches
hey share with the soldiers all the
llscomforts of underground life, and
*hen the men are relieved they go
with them to enjoy the comforts of
■nntonments. Then they are cleanly
loused in kennels, are washed and
crushed and regularly fed, and they
ire at all times petted by the men.
who regard them as true comrades.
The utilization of dogs for war work !
s extending dally, and those animals 1
round unsuitable for active service at I
Ihe front are proving of prac tical us.
