My husband deserves the credit
for the following canning idea. To
tighten Jar lids more securely and
with less effort, use two pieces of
worn out inner tube (about 4x8

the other to turn lid or cap. These
are also useful in opening Jars and
bottles Of commercially packed
products.

once a week in order to supply the
minerals to the plants.
Egg shells (Which have not been
cooked or set in hot water) crushed
and dropped into a quart jar OF cold
water make excellent fertilizer wa
ter for houseplants. After using the
same egg shells for two weeks I dis
pose Of these and then start q new
batch. When you have used UP all
the water, simply refill the quart
jar and it Is ready to use again the
next day.
