HINT FOR CANNING TIME
Economy 10 Found by Practical House
Wife in Providing New Rub
bers Eas- Season.

1t will be found much more eco
nomical when canning fruit or vege-
tables to always provide new rubbers
each season. for by doing this one
need not exert oneself when opening
the jars. as the rubber can be caught
with a knife edge and torn out when
one wishes to open them. 1t not only
saves the exertion. but saves the Jars
from cracking once ever so offen
when in the act of opening. making
the contents unfit TO use on account
of the danger Of there being tiny
pieces of glass in them, and also II
averts the necessity of turning up the
edge of the lid with a knife, thus max
ing it liable to admit air at the next
seasons filing New rubbers make
sure success, but old ones are gam
BILE. Tear them off when opening the
Jar and the lid will come off easily.
