treated apples after dehydration and subsequent treat- 
ment with water regained their original shape and con- 
sistency more quickly and more completely than did 
those dried without treatment. By using large quanti- 
ties of sugar a sweet candy-like product is obtained, 
which, when thoroughly dried, may be ground to powder 
and used as a flavoring matter.

sibilities; it is a coming industry. The problem in con- 
nection with the actual process of the extraction of water 
have probably, to a large extent, been solved; but the 
problems that will hold our attention for some time to 
come will be those of the proper treatment of the mater- 
ial before and after dehydration.
