Things Worth Knowing.

Canning Hints.
To keep mold from gathering on
canned fruits, take q clean cloth the
size Of the can and lay on the fruit,
just before sealing. This may be
done with pickles, also, with eAtisfac-
ton.
A layer Of absorbent cotton in
mouth of fruit cans is an excellent
preventive against mold. II mold
should form it would cling to the cot

Sugarless Jam-Prupes not only do
not need any sugar but are better
without Il. Aprieots. peaches and

whole secret is in the cooking. The
