Envelope Gifts.

The simplest way for a girl TO re

Christmas time is with an envelope
gift. Some small useful token which
can be sent through the mail has quite
as much significance as bulky or
elaborate present which requires a
large postage or express fee TO carry
1t to its destination. And there Is no
end Of pretty gifts which can be made
to fit easily into an envelope Of or

HOW TO CAN.

Germs or Bacteria Must Be Destroyed
to Bring Success.
The theory of sterilization or the
complete killing Of germs aud spores
must be understood by Gamers.
This last point is where many a
housekeeper needs more education
Sometimes she may wonder why the
tomatoes didn't keep" or why she
didn't have any luck with corn. She
must know that both vegetables and
fruits are subject 10 attack from germs
oil microscopic plants like mold. These
germs or bacteria must be killed en-
tirely in order that the food does not
become affected by their continued
growth. Such bacteria can flourish
only when they hive air and certain
conditions OF moisture and heat. High
temperature kills these bacteria. This
high temperature and exclusion from
air are the two facts which need to be
watched IN all canning.
Such a temperature Is from $50 to
2l2 degrees f. Unless the food Is sub
iected to this temperature for longer
or shorter period, depending on the
kind of food. there can be no certainty
that the bacteria are killed
In various sections of the country
il is the practice to use preserving
powders sold with the purpose of max
ing canning successful" These pow
ders are unnecessary and, worse still,
dangerous. as many cases of poisoning
have resulted where they have been
used. II tie idea of sterilization is un
dcrstood and carefully followed there
will be no need for preseryatiyes.
Heat is the best preseryative.
One Of the most common ways of
canning IS TO fill the jars and place on
wooden strips in the bottom of wash
boiler The objection to this method
Is the mussiness and general unclean
illness. The wash boiler can be replaced
by steam cooker, which gives the

a copper bottom to hold the water and

HOW TO AMUSE THE BABY
WITHOUT TIRING YOURSELF.

!, 1t is a great mistake for any
b one to be constantly amusing
!, quite small children. They will
! amuse themselves very well if
& left to do so and not be so tired
4 as If strain is always kept up.
!, 1t is a great thing to let a baby
+ crawl on the floor. Never mind
1 il he does tumble his pretty
I frock. Let him have holland
s pinafore in which he may enjoy
himself. Sometimes a child de-
1 clines to creep. To encourage
him to do so get a crawling car
ut for him. This can be made
almost of any material. Brown
: crash for summer or white felt
for winter is very suitable stuff
i for this purpose. Having cut
1 out a carpet as large as the
} space at your disposal where the
1 baby may safely disport himself,
} hem it nicely all round and then
I cut out the pictures of the aEi-
, mails he likes best in red flannel
and sew them around the Dor
der.
, The larger the figures are and
t the more lifelike the better will
they be liked 1t is often very
amusing to see what efforts a
child will make to reach the ami
! nal he wants and how quickly
he recognizes the likeness. The
: baby win laugh and crow at the
enjoyment he derives from this
simple arrangement.
If the carpet Is made Of wash
ing material it must be lined or
doubled to give 1t proper firm
ness, but white felt or, better
/, still. flannel is the most suitable
material to use. Patterns Of an
, finals may be purchased already
cut out, and when they have
) been prepared they can be fas- :
tened on the flannel by button
) holing them firmly in place. 1t :
is mistake to sew them too
closely together, as this rather :
confuses the child. Let baby ,
take little exercise In the eff :
fort to reach the animal he
; wishes to play with.
