I3e absolutely clean in every operation and keep all the surroundings the same, j Carefully sterilize with boiling water every utensil before it is used, also the jars, rubbers, and cans. In buying glass jars, secure the best. One of the most satisfactory types of jars is the "Lightning Tatent" with a glass top held in place by a simple wire spring. Use the best grade of tin cans even though they cost a little more than the cheaper grades. With glass jars always use new rubbers. t THE MILITARY Award of Scl Free T The State Board of Chari with investigating the finanek four-year scholarships and fr findings to the Board of Trust passes finally upon the mat information gathered by the ^ decision of the Trustees may Education.
