Why Preserves Spoil. Some of the causes of failure in ome canning are: First, not sterilizing the jars, lids and rubbers. To sterilize, the jars :and the lids’must be placed in a large ,boiler or cooking utensil, covered with cold water and brought to boil; boil- red three minutes and then the jars are gifted out, drained and the vegetable or fruit is packed. Then the jar is lfilled with boiling water for the vegeâ€" ‘ttables or a syrup for the fruit. The Lrubber and lid are placed in position and partially tightened; then proceed {according to directions. Jar rubbers are sterilized by placing them in a isaucepan and pouring boiling water :over them, then letting the rubbers 'stand in this water for five minutes; the rubbers will have also the ad- ‘Vantage of being soft enough to slip ,over the top of the jars easily. Second, the lids of the jars used in fcanning and preserving are very im- portant. Old and worn lids are use- less, as are those that have their edges :forced out of shape when trying to go‘pen a sealed jar. Lids that have porcelain lining with cracks or that "are loose are useless and might just‘as ,iwell be thrown away before they cause Lthe‘contents of the jar to spoil. An- other point to be remembered is that :when an acid like vinegar is used in . picing and pickling this acid is liable I 0 work between the porcelan cap and its metal holder and set up a decom- ing, and crackers and cheese or pea- nut butter sandwiches.

Keep the flies away from the sick, especially those ill with contagious idiseases. Kill every fly that strays iinto the house. His body is covered :with disease germs.

The loin is good for braising or icasserole use. The first three slices on the vein or muscle on the front part bf the leg make a very good steak, or the whole makes an economical roast. Meat should be roasted, skewered or tied in compact form, and should rest skin side down on a rack in a dripping pan. Dredge with flour and sear over ' the outside in a hot oven. After this add salt and pepper and dripping from It. Cook at a low temperature and aste frequently. "Ribs may be roast- ed just as they are or boned and :olled. Only the first five ribs of the ~orequarter are suitable for this pur- pose. To roast a cheap cut of meat, rub, salt well into the meat, place in a crock, cover, place over a slow fire. When taken out it will be brown and more tender than if roasted in an oven; also, it will have a nice gravy when thickened. Do not put any wa- ter 0n the meat. Meat cooked this way is exceedingly tender and palat- able. Nutritious Combinations.

' “I was all out of patience that morning,” Mother Dill continued. “There were things in the garden and about the house to be done, and I beg- ged Pa to give me a few hours. But he had so many irons in the fire that, he simply couldn’t stop to potter at. home. when a tramp appeared at the door.‘ He had the usual storyâ€"out of money and out of work; and could I give him something to eat. “ ‘Well,’ says I, ‘there’s one thing I am not out of, and that is work. I can give you some of that first, and afterâ€" wards a breakfast.’ “I expected him to mutter some-, thing and march ofi’. But he didn’t. He said, ‘All right, muml’ And when‘ I came to‘ get a second look at him, I, thought he had a much better face, than most of his kind.

The man knew how to take orders, and he was real sociable, too, and told me the story of his life, not sparing himself in the least. He. said that he was brought up well, and; that he was tired of the life he had, been leading and wanted to go back to his home. “It was noon before I knew it, and of course I wouldn't send him off with-I out his dinner. Then while I was t lk-f ing with him at dinner I found taliat he was handy with tools; so I had him‘ mak over the grapevine trellis and men the back steps and putty up some of the windows and put up some shelves in one of the closets. “Along- toward night he said he ,guessed he would have to be moving; so I put him up a lunch and paid him, fifty cents, and told him always to} x . . , iti’lll’lk of me as a friend. ' “He hadn't much more than got outi of the yard when Pa drove in. couldn't wait for him to unharness before showing him how much a man‘; could accomplish when he was willing to listen to reason. Pa sniffed a little, but he couldn’t find a word of fault to: say until I took him up to the clothe: closet to see the new shelves. Then he made a dive for the pocket of a, vest of his that hung there and roared , out: 1 “ ‘Did you leave that fellow herej alone?’ i, “ ‘Only for a minute,’ says I, kind of scared. “‘That’s what comes of harboring} a tramp,’ says Pa. ‘My wallet gone, '1 and your day’s work has cost me about; forty dollars.’ ‘ “My heart was right in my mouth” but I kept a stiff upper lip. ‘Well," says I, ’perhaps if you’d spend a little time fixing things up in the beginning“ it would save you money in the cnd.’, “He made no answer, but said he'd: start right on after the fellow, and: maybe catch him and jail him. Among’ Pa’s irons in the fire was being deputy sheriff. I went along to identify. The man hadn’t much of a start, and we soon caught him hurrying alongi through a piece of woods. “ ‘Hi, there!’ Pa yelled, tramp stopped right in his tracks, waiting for us to come up. As Pa jumped out of the wagon he clappedl his hand into his inside pocket, and the look on his face fairly scared me. Then he walked right up to the poor fellow and laid his hand on his shoul- der. ‘ “ ‘You the chap that worked for my wife to-day?’ says Pa. “ ‘Yes, sir,’ says the tramp, taking off his cap to me as polite as you please. “ ‘Paid you‘fifty cents, did she?’ says Pa. “ ‘Yes, sir,’ says he. “ ‘Well,’ says Pa, ‘that was a ridi- culous price for what you did; here’s a two-dollar bill. And see here,’ says Pa, ‘if you are in earnest about want-‘ ing to work, come back to my house in the morning and I’ll try to find you a job.’ “Then after a few more words, he got into the wagon and we turned round. “ ‘Why didn't you arrest that man for stealing?’ says I when we were out of earshot. “ ‘Well,’ says he, ‘I know a thief when I see him, and he isn’t one.’ “But I wasn’t going to be put off by any such palaver as that. “ ‘Where did you get that two dol- lars you paid him?’ says I. ‘Out of the wallet that you missed?’ “Then Pa owned up, although he hated to. He had felt that wallet in his vest pocket just as he jumped out of the wagon. He’d been carrying it all day, supposing he had left it at home. “Well, the manâ€"Duggan, his name wasâ€"did come round the next morn- ing, and got his job. He kept at it, steady as a mill, too, until he had sav- ed up money enough to go back home. So my harboring a tramp turned out pretty well that time, although I never have tried it since. For one thing, I have never seen another tramp that and the .resembled Duggan; and then, Pa is a grain better than he used to be about jobbing round home.” _.â€"â€"~..

The following hints from an acquatic, expert may be found useful. Two summers ago, Vera Stedman, the wellâ€"known actress, couldn’t swim a stroke, now she is one of the most wonderful girl divers and swim- mers in the United States. She has attracted attention from athletes all over the country. Miss Stedman has an easy explanâ€" ation for her extraordinary rapid progress. “Most girls and men. tooâ€"make ther big mistake of learning to swim I can’t im- a stroke is over any reason. It crooks a tight check-rein; you can’t make any progress; when you bring up your legs to kick, you lose all the impetus you gained. There is only one real stroke worth while in swimming’that is the Amer- ican crawl. Years ago this used to he regarded only as a stroke for finished swimmers and even then only to be used for short distance swimming; but athletes have now learned that it is a good long distance and any purpose stroke. agine why such taught for beach. I used to see the boys swim- ming around and they were all swim- ming the crawl stroke.

The only thing that is a little puzzling at first is the manâ€"' agement of your feet. You don't kick as with other strokes. You just keep your legs straight out and wob- ble your feet up and down a littleâ€"â€" straight up and down in the water. Your feet probably help you a little not only because it is a really 3 in making progress, but the main pur- pose in the foot motion is to keep your feet and legs near on the surface of the water. The motion is accomplish- ed with your hands. “One of the best ways to learn to . swim is to hold on to a boat or a piece 1’of a wharf with your hands while you learn to paddle with your feet. One good method is to get a surf board and hold yourself up With that while you ‘learn to use your feet. __.:. Choosing is the highest act of life.
