On Cellar Shelves

About this time Of year the cellar
shelves are getting pretty well loaded
with fruits and vegetables which the
thrifty housewife has "put up" Can
ned goods, preserves, jellies, pickles,
eggs, jams, fruit juices what visions
LOT good living those words conjure. OF
course some OF the best are still to
come ana be cared for but storage
shelves already are gay with rainbow
|colors dipped from the preserving kettle.
It is true that prices for many fruits
and vegetables are high. Sugar no
longer sells at 20 pounds or more for a
dollar. Glassware is expensive. And
canning is hard work. But the thrifty
housewife is going right ahead with
the work. This year there promises to
be substantial margin of money profit
in canning as well as the dividend Of
housewifely pride and assurance Of the
desired individual flavor in the product.
Happy the husband called upon to
put in new shelving for record break
ing supply.

limestone and acid phosphate; the
third, with acid phosphate alone; the
fourth has no treatment at all. Lime
stone is used at the rate of tons
