In canning tomatoes use no
water in the jar but pack down
each whole tomato with a wooden
spoon, add one teaspoonful Of salt
to each Jar and sterilize. They

1t Is a good plan to put up some
tomatoes specially for Winter

be eaten raw and which is full of
refreshing juices and salts which
cool the blood during these sultry
days. Tomatoes may be regarded

Like every other fruit or vege-
