MakINc JAR RUBBERs USEFUL.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Last sea- son I think it was on this page that I read hints about making old fruit jar rubbers useful.
 Since then l have found that these dis carded rubbers come in very handy for use on the ice in the refrigerator, in case, as often happens, 1t is so irregular that dishes will sip if placed on it. As the rubbers quickly freeze to the ice, there is ne danger of the dishes not remaining wherever put, and those con taining liquids like sauces or gravies are prevented from overturniRg and doing damage to nearby plates or other re- eeptacles.

Have you ever tasted beans cooked by the shantymens method? The beana are brought to the boiling point in an iron or earthernware pot, which is then buried in the sand, and when taken out several hours afterwards the beans will be found cooked to degree of perfee- tion urattainable by any other process, except the fireiess cooker, which after all is the means by which use of "confinee heat" the principle involved in the hole in the sand method of cooking is made possible in the home-another illustra- tion of the old adage that there is nothing new under the sun.r The only difference is the modern application oi the idea.
