About Canning Tomatoes.

Tomatoes keep better if canned whole.
Use none that are oVerripe or imperfect.
Select fine ones, not too large for your
jars, and set aside. Cut up the others
without peeling, cook till soft enough to
strain the. juice from them. Heat the
juice again. If you prefer to leave the
skins on drop the tomatoes into this, or
if you remove the skins, do 80 by drop
ping three or four at time in pot of
boiling water. By the time the last
one is In, the first is ready to come out,
when the skin will slip off readily. Put
enough to fill two jars at time in the
boiling juice, and when thoroughly
heated through they are ready to seal
up in the jars or cans, which must be
filed to the brim with the boiling juice,
and Gll bubbles Of air let out before
screwing on the tops, or If cans are used,
before soldering or puttying the top on.
Instead Of using just the juice for the
filling, the tomatoes may be peeled as
above, cut up and used; the main thing
is to use tomatoes that have not begun
to ferment, and to have all jars, tops,
etc, thoroughly clean and hot. II the
tops sink slightly when cold they are all
right.-FGTm Journal,

To Clean sOlled Gloves.

II there is a heap Of light or dark
gloves, either suede or dressed kid, and
another Vt soft silk sashes and neckties,
really magical work may be wrought
with gasoline, says the Philadelphia In
QIsirer. Should the heap be large do
not begin with less than a quart, cents
worth, but be careful to keep away from
fire or lamplight, as this is an explosive.
Pour half pint Of the gasoline into a
small wash-bowl, take the gloves or rib
bon, one at time, dip them in and rub
between the hands as you would linen
in water; use this until it is very dark
looking, then throw out and rinse in
clear. This latter will do for the first
washing Of the second lot, and so on
until the work is finished. The articles
will be soft, not stiff and horny, as when
benzine Is used, and the gloves are so
pllable that they need not be dried on
the hand.

Apples are Good Nightcaps.

The apple is such a com mon fruit
that very few persons are familiar with
its remarkably efficacious medicinal
properties, states the Bulletin Of Ph09-
macy. Everybody ought to know that
the very best thing they can do is to eat
apples just before retiring for tho night.
Persons uninitisted in the mysteries of
the fruit are liable to throw up their
hsndsin horror at the visions of dyspepsia
which such suggestion may summon
up; but no harm can come even to
delicate system by the eating of ripe and
juicy apples just before going to bed.
The apple is excellent brain food,
because it has more phosphoric acid in
easily digested shape than other fruits.
1t excites the action Of the liver, pro-
notes sound and healthy sleep, and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth. This
is not all. The apple helps the kidney
secretions and prevents calculus growths,
while it obviates Indigestion and is one
Of the best known preventives Of diseases
Of the throat. Everybody should be
familiar with such knowledge.

room and closets are all picked up and
cleaned out, and the rags are under
personal supervision.
Old, half-worn-out skirts Of wash
materials make over into excellent
kitchen aprons. Worn-out stockings
with feet cut off and legs split in two,
are splendid for wiping off the stove.
Cotton undervests, when ragged, out
into squares and washed and boiled are
excellent dishcloths. Flour sacks, rip
ped and hemmed, are good dish wipers.
Put all silk scraps in one pile, cotton
in another aud wool in another, and put
them away. Some day they can be
worked into quilts. Well-worn flannel
underwear makes good patching for a
ragged flannel sheet.
After one has considered every
possibility of the rag pile, it will be
found that there are few rags left for the

Baked Apples.

These are exceedingly nice when care
is taken to prepare them properly. They
should be put in a shallow pan that will
hold about half dozen and set in an
oven that will bake them slowly. To
prevent them burning, turn them two or
three times while cooking and baste with
the juice, II the apples are not very
juicy, little water and two or three
ia tsblsspoonfnls Of sugar should be added
when they are first put into the pan. A
very nice way Of baking apples is to peel
and core them before putting them into
the oven, filling the cavities with sugar
and a little cinnamon. - PROGRESSIVE
