Clothes properly preserved will
keep indefinitely. Many years ago
when I worked in the canning fac
tory thirty of the girls who sealed
and labeled the cans got so warmed
up drinking fermented fruit juice
that they took off all their super
fiuous clothes and sealed them up
in cans and labeled them. They
got mixed in with several thousand
cans of preserves and for months
thereafter it was nothing I'M
common when you had company to
open can with a raspberry pre-
serve label and turn out pink hair
ribbon and a pair of stockings and
maybe an old apron or corset
cover. Only a short time ago the
landlady of hotel where l took a
meal was absentmindedly looking
out of the window while dumping a
can of supposed peaches when out
rolled two hip pads. She didn't
notice it and a nearsighted boarder
ate one for a waffle. The can was
bought of a merchant who didn't
advertise and it had been on his
shelves for over twenty years. The
other pad is on exhibition at this
Office.
