When about to close a jar of preserved good's the housewife very often finds herself short of a rubber band, or else the last one breaks. A very good sub- stitute can be made from newspaper. This is better than other paper, because as plumbers say, "it packs better." They often use it to make small pipe joints air and water tight. Cut several layers of the paper the required size, put them on the can and screw the lid down as tightly as possible. If pre- ferred, rings of soft leather, cut from the tops of old shoes, may be used, but they are not as satisfoctory as those made from newspapers. Demonstration at Seaforth.
