BUSY PRESERVING SEASON.
The crusade of the pure food authorities and the educational campaign being conducted by the Government's experts in Washington have brought about a change in attitude toward the one-time indispensable preserve closet, and a new vogue is promised for it during the coming year. It is to be expected, therefore, that the crop of preserving jar inventions and accessory contrivances will be unusually large. The one-time universal screw-top jar is to have a rival in the shape of a patent cover, flat-top jar, with automatic fastener. One style is illustrated herewith, and is the work of a Canadian inventor.
In connection therewith a fruit jar holder is shown which is intended for use with the old-style jar, both for screwing and unscrewing the top. This is a simple wooden collar that clamps the jar securely while the lid is being removed or fastened. Tension is obtained by the use of set screws. As the pressure is applied at the base of the jar, where it is best able to resist same, the danger of breakage is reduced to a minimum.—Philadelphia Record.
