Selection Of Preserve Iars.

For all reasons, the preserving jar
should be of glass, without a blemish,
crack or flaw, being especially smooth on
the inside. Where fruit or pickles are
improved for being in the dark they are
much better if preserved in glasses and
then protected from the light by some
other means than by using the old-fash-
ioned stone crock, says Good Housekeep-
ing.
Secondly, the jar should be as rule
wide mouthed, in order that the food
may be packed in large pieces without
bruising it. One should have jar Just
large enough for the amount of food
which is to be used by the family at
given time, in order that large Jar
shall not have TO be opened and part of
the material allowed to stand and per
haps decay before it can be consumed.
The cap which covers the jar is best
il glass. For sealing caps we have many
clamp contrivances. some of them at
taehed by wire around the neck of the
bottle, which slip over the top of the
cover and snap tight. Others are some
what the shape of the letter "E, which
may either fit over the flanges OF the
neck and then snap tight or screw tight.
The latter method of screwing has its
advantage in that if the can is not en-
tirely tight the first day it may be
screwed tighter the second day, instead
of having to be perhaps entirely opened
and resealed.
Preliminary to successful sealing is
successful filling of the jar. If the pre-
serving is done in the jar, the food should
be packed as tight al it can be squeezed
in the jar without crushing. Ii. on the
other hand the food is preserved in
large kettle and the jar is then filed,
special care must be taken that all of the
air bubbles fare allowed to escape and
that the food is as compactly arranged in
the jar as possible. Fill to Overlooking
and place the cap on firmly by sliding
from the side so as to exclude if pos
sible all of the air.
The sealing itself may be completed
in several ways, more usually by plac-
ing a fiat rubber band between the hange
of the neck Of the jar and the cap IF
one band is not sufficient to make it
absolutely tight, use two Or. the top
of the jar may be covered with paraffin
paper and thin layer Of melted paraffin
left at the edge, upon which the glass
cover is placed while the parafiin is still
warm and soft. Or, the crack between
the jar and cover may be made air tight
by applying sealing wax to the outside.
The use of the sealing wax often makes
bottle air tight when one uses only
plain cork However we find the use
of the cork is not the most advisable |
form Of sealing. 1t is safe to place the
preserves upside down or ON the side |
for few days or week before storing
them for season, in order to see that |
there is no leakage in the sealing.

 Pres. Tillman rejoices in the fact that the parents of the state have begun to look upon the uni versity as real place of higher education, and as a mark of ap- preciation they are sending their children to the university instead of sending them outs ida the state for an education.

 GENES MUCH MAIL

Little, Rock, August 25.-ER. Ratterree, secretary of the Ark ansas Land Congress and Immi- grafton Bureau, has been receiv- ing much mail this week relative to the October meeting of the or ganization. Most of the messag- es state the representation from the districts in which they were written, will be much greater than last year, and any amount the Congress assesses against that district for advertising pur- poses will easily be raised This is quite different from last year and Secretary Ratterree says the people evidently are begin ming to see the results of adver- Using and want more of 1t.
 The writers approve of t h e dates set for the Congress, Octo- ber 17-19 inclusive, and state this is the most pleasant time of the year for such a convention.
 The railroads which have been appealed to, state they will make the very lowest possible rate, which will probably be one fare for the round trip.

ARKANSAS NOT
 EFFECTED YET

While the labor organization
 ,o,onent which has closed down some of the Louisiana and Tex as sawmills has not reached Ark onsas. the sawmill owners of tb;s state are expecting it at any time. They will, meet the con. dition as the mill owners of the other states have done; by clos. ing down.
 One of the largest mill owners in Arkansas stated Thursday that the organizers would have difficulty in getting m amoung the regular employees of the Ark ansas mills, for they have all been with the different mills for many years and would weigh the matter carefully before consent ing to enter an organization. This mill owner stated the em- ployes have all been treated more than fairly by the operators, in order to keep them in the lumber camps, away from the a''ure- ments of the city, and for that reason the men will consider at length before running risk of losing a good position.
