CAN CONSERVATION

Many people who have never raised vegetables and small fruits before are as the result of war garden propo- ganda, producing more than their families can consume during the sum- mer. Others have increased the size of their gardens so as to swell the total production far above normal This prospect for large surplus, coupled with shortage of freight and express accommodations, makes it necessary for these people to buy their canning and drying outfits, cans and other containers early in the season.
 For jellies and jams, old jars and glasses may be used. No good con tainers of any kind should be thrown away, as they represent not only a possible saving of food but also a saving of glass or tin and valuable shipping space.

Probably you never heard of storax, which Is a gum that is imported from Asia Minor. Makers of perfume es- teem 1t so highly that they have been paying $10 pound for 1t instead of 20 cents, which was the price before the war. Now 1t appears that red gum tree, common in our Southern states. yields gum fully equal in quality to the imported storax. That Is only one of hundred ways in which the war Is disclosing America resources.-Youth's Companion.
