SOLID COMFORT IN
THE SUMNER HOME

Goodness and comfort are convertible
terms in warm weather. and the posi-
bilities for realizing both during the sum-
mer are practically limitless. Never be-
fore were there so many beguilements in
the shape of cottage furnishings. Never
before was it possible to procure such
satisfactory results at so moderate an ex-
penditure You can be extravagant If
YOU will, but you need not unless you
choose.
Some of the summer furnishings bark
back to the early fifties. Instead Of the
modern reed and rattan we have novelty
furniture saplings with the bark left on
and Cuiltless of stain or varnish. You
can buy, in this line Of goods, everything
that can possibly be needed in the way
Of cottage furniture and at a reasonable
price. For that matter there are complete
log cabins for sale ready to be shipped to
snv out-of-town place. These are built
on the regular pioneer plan, with two
rooms and a veranda, and cost not more
than $500 apiece.
Chairs, tables and settees of this hick-
orv furniture can be bought In all sizes
and a variety of designs. Some Of them
have the uncompromising spindle backs
dear to our grandmothers, while others
have comfortable backs and seats of
hand-woven splint. Even bedsteads are
not wanting. You can procure one of
these. full size, for so. and it can be made

SUMNER CANNING.

In putting up fruit or vegetables OF
any sort it is important 10 have uten-
sIls suited to the purpose and materials
in the right degree OF ripeness. The
tools required are a preserving kettle
we'll cleaned and dried jars, jelly bag
Of cheesecloth and one of flannel. two
square pieces of flannel, a long-handled
spoon, a colander, a fine sieve, two or
three big bowls, a small ladle, pair Of
scales and quart, pint and gill measures.
For small families it is advisable to use
mint lars. and tumblers for jelly. There
are several ways of keeping the jelly
from moldingA and souring- One is to
cover the fruit with a round piece OF
paper dipped in brandy, and then cover
the tuInbler with a larger piece dipped
in the unbeaten white of an egg, and
pasted closely at the edge about the top
Of the glass. Another way is to pour
melted white wax over the jelly, then
nut on the tin cover provided. or paste
over white letter paper. Still a third
way, and one which is said to be a most
successful of all, is to dissolve one table
spoonful of salicyclic acid in half cup
Of alcohol and then dip the round piece
of paper that goes directly against the
Jelly in this.
The glass is made air tight with
cover of the same letter paper dipped
in white of egg and pasted closely over
the edge of the rim. II the contents II
the tumbler or jar are not made secure
against the invasion of the air. the fruit
or vegetables will either ferment or mold,
and so be unfit for use.
Tt is a sensible plan TO put up a small
quantity of material at a time, as more
care can be taken then than with the big
preserving job, and following directions

is absolutely essential for perfect results.
1t is a mistake to be too economical with
sugar, when this is being used, for fruit
seldom keeps in this case, or else is
without the good taste 1t snouId have.
An excellent way to put hot fruit into
the jars without cracking them il to dip
q towel into cold water, wiring II half
dry, fold II double, and then lay It on
the table for the jars TO set on. Have
these clean and perfectly dry, with a
new rubber on each one; also set the
preserving kettle near the jars and NIL
them to overfowing. AS soon as one Is
filled, put on the cover. screwing 1t on
tightly, and set the jar upside down until
cold. When all are filled, wipe them on
with damp towel and examine each
one to. see IL II is perfectly air tight.
and two days later look at them again.
1t is seems difficult to get the jars tight
put on one or two extra rubbers.
The best way to can fruit and vegcta-
bles is TO have a Gamer. A boiler, how
ever. will answer the purpose, this half
full of water and placed on the side of
the stove. Many persons put several
layers Of paper in the bottom OF the
boiler, laying a stone at either end TO
keep IL in position; others use hay o.
straw for this bed, which. of course, is
to keep the jars from direct contact with
the heat Of the stove. When the jars
have been filled with the fruit and sirup
they must be closed tightly, for they need
to be two inches under water when boil
ing; when bottles are boiled the water
must come an inch below the cork. To
insure against breakage many housekeep-
ers put their glass jars in wrapping OF
cloth, straw or hay before putting them
on to boil When the lars are all in the
boiler, and warmed through, the kettle Is

The split bamboo fans which are sold
at all resorts at prices varying from 10
