Office of J. w. Bailey, State Dairy
and Food Commissioner, Room 10,
Breeder Building.
Portland, Ore, Oct. 25, 1904.
The two Mason jar caps have been
examined. Upon examination, the
metal of the new Mason cap was
found to be pure zinc. The small pin
holes in the old Mason cap were un-
doubtedly caused by the action of
vegetable acids. As result the
fruit in the jar must have been greatly
contaminated with poisonous zinc COM

! regard the use Of the jars with zinc

dangerous.

that they will get the linen cheap, many

Uses for Snakeskins.
Shoe and Leather Reporter.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter.
Snakeskins as novelty have been used
for some time. and recently they have been
used for fiat bags. pocketbooks. ETC., and
some slippers have been shown made from
these skins. Smaller snakeskins, such as
have no marks them. have had little
value. The larger skins with beautiful
markings were sought. and they were tan
ned In alum or sumac, leaving them in the
white tan. which showed the marks to bet
ter advantage.
Next season there is promised a new idea
in the small snakeskins. These will be pro-
duced In all fine colors, such as dark green,
light green, wine and carmine, blue, dark
and light shades. some black glazed and
dull blacks and some russets These skins
are well adapted for ladies' belts and are
being made for next seasons offerings
When drawn tight around the waist the
leather will fold. which is SO much desired
by the wearer. They can also have lining
made from suede leather In various colors
out of which reversible belt could be
made having a buckle to meet the require
ments This would give the wearer two
belts in one. These skin belts are first
going to be shown In Europe next season.
l understand this will be the most attract
i've belt introduced since belts were worn
by our ladies of fashion and good taste.
