so, invest in the best appliances and
Jars. While the oid-fashioned Ma
son jar was not bad. IL Is not as
satisfactory as several other more
modern Jars with different caps.
There are some which have a glass
lid. or a tin lid with a section OF
rubber in the lid itself. thus not
leaving any separate 'rubbers." The
danger with these has always been
that they were old stock, kept over
by dealers, and which would just
not stay firm and tight when used.
Also the best modern jars have a
wire mouth so that practically the
whole hand can lie lowered in the
jar, in this way permitting whole
sections like large tomatoes, or pears
to be preserved entire
There are also paraffine Jelly
rlasses nov on the market with
iitteI insert lids which are a boon
to the housewife who must pack or
transport her Jelly for some dis
tance. such as. for instance from a
summer camp to the city home. Then
there are the touG-like utensils which
l'f; up hot Jar easily and a new
funnel which is a dIpper and filler
combined. which permits very rapid
AID easy filling of jars with hot

For those who do extensive can

snecial Gamers on the market which
are itted with Jars, or which are so
made as to insure perfect stcrili-
cation. The SQUARE steam cooker.
