GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
by Henriettn Grauei.
NOTHING NEW IN THE CANNING
LIME

! When the ancient city of Pompeli was
unearthed, jars of preserved figs and
dates were found in the ruins When the
seals were broken, the fruits were found
to be in perfect condition, having re-
tanned their natural flavor and taste
nearly two thousand years. ] wonder if
any Of the fruit that women Of today put
up will be sampled by explorers, even n
hundred years from nowp If canned with
due regard for proportion and preparation,
there is no reason why canned foods should
not keep for generations.
The Jars of fruits found in Pomreii were
brought to France with other curios, and
from them Frenchman studied out the
secret Of preserving food in air-tIght CON
tainers. For years this method of canning
WAS o closely guarded secret, and French
canned foods were considered the finest
in the world.
In 1925 the secret of the FreDchnan
became known to two Yankees, who spent
a small fortune to learn tho art Of strrii-
izing foods in jars. When these men re-
turned TO the Land of the l4ee, they
settled in California, and applied 10 the
patent office and secured patents on the
art of preserving fruits and vegetables by
what We know as the cold pack method
These patents were controlled by com
panies formed by these two men until
long after the Civil War At county and
State fairs, in those days, the public would
find marvellous exhibits Of California
canned fruits Crowds Of people would
stand 10 front of tho displays, wondering
# 1T waR the western air that grew fruits
and vegetables that would Jcs' keep like

And while they are eating we vii
see what the miser uncle is doing, foI
he had called the children At break oi
day and they were not TO be found.
1t happened that the ground was
damp and the uncle saw the prints oi
their feet from the door 10 the road and
along the road to the path in the woods
and then the soft leaves and moss did
not show where they had went
Thinking they had run away and
gone into the woods. their uncle hurried
along. calling their names at the top OF
his voice
As he came near the Gingerbread Rock
the children heard him and began to
tremble 1T IS uncle said Hans He
will tie very angry because We have not
done our work
Sit still. said the ol,t man. as the
children started TO leave the table and
taking his pipe the old man sat down
under little opening like tiny window
and began to smoke.
Soon the children could hear uncle
climbing up outside. and they knew
he had seen the smoke Just rs they had
the night before. and was irving 10 look in.
Then they heard him tumble just az
Lisbcth had when the Gingerbread Rock
broke off IN her hands and they knew
he had discovered il was good TO eat
for all WAS still for few minutes.
Nothing was heard again for a long
time and then the sound Of some one
breaking of big pieces was heard. and
when Hans and Lisbeth climbed up as
the old man told them TO do. and looked
out Of the opening they saw their uncle

could
But when he had filed it he could not
move it. for it WAS no longer gingerbread,
but stone. he had TO carry.
The old man motioncd 10 the children
TO keep quiet, and he opened door they
had not noticed and went out
Just what he said the children never
knew But they soon found out that
instead Of hcirg poor as they had thought
their miscr uncle had taken all the silver
and gold their parents had left and hidden
It IN his cellar under the stones.
The Iplser uncle disappeared and was
never SEEN again, and the old man, who
was really wizard, told them where 10
go and what to do with their wealth.
So they were happy ever after
OF course they never forgot the Ginger
bread Rock or the kind old man But
because he was wizard they knew they
would never see him again, for faIrles
and witches and wizards are all enchanted
and disappear IN very strange manner.
Our good fortune came 10 US because
we tried TO be kind to the old man. | am

talking about the Gingerbread Rock.
.'Yes. and because We wanted 10 re-

did not mean 10 do any harm, said
