of Jars of this pattern, 1t is best to
use them for preserves or for cam

more modern styles for canning vcgc-
tables. In using the screw-top jars
he careful to sterilize them first by
placing in cold water. bringing to Il
boil. and boiling for about ten min
utes. The rubber and top should
also be immersed in boiling water
for the same length of time. Re
move them from the boiling water
when needed, handling as little as
possible. BE careful not to put the
fingers on the inside of the top or
the inner edge of the rubber. Fill

Those with limited time complained
that more than half their visit was

could not appreciate the great spec
taclCs when they reached them. And
the demand of touring motorists for
greater freedom grew even louder
and more insistent.

OLD STAGE COACH GONE.
Visitors TO Yellowstone TO Use Tour
ing Cars.

The old-fashioned stage coach has
passed from its last stand" in the
Yellowstone National Park. In 1915
Secretary Lane admitted private au-
tomobiles to the park, but retained
the horse-drawn stages. This necess-
tated special motor schedules to avoid
accidents. The situation remained
the same last season under an en-
ormous increase OF motor travel.
This season, however, the old stages
are replaced by fleet of seven and
ten passenger cars, and the restric-
tions to general automobile travel
are largely removed. The work be-
gun in 1915 is completed. The
Yellowstone IL motorized.
This change was not accomplished
wholly without opposition. Many
persons held that the old stages
should be retained for sentimental
and historical reasons. But, while
the Department of the Interior shar-
ed their regrets in the passing of so
picturesque an institution, there was
no withstanding the march of prog
ress. Visitors were increasing rap
