New Garage a Big Benefit
Contractor H. A. Walker, who
brgan the construction of the
new brick garage and machine
shop for Riggs Brothers about a

ing is 75x100 feet in dimensions,
with large plate glass front and
side windows and concrete floor,
affording a floor space of 7,500
square feet. The interior will
be partitioned, providing a busi
ness office, a rest room, a sup
ply room in which will be kept
all parts of the Ford car, a work
room and a shop repair room.
The building will be lighted
throughout with a Delco 24-hour
electric current generated on the
premises. A free air and Bow
ser gasoline station constitute
some of the accessories that will
be provided for the convenience
of the patrons of this garage,
the best equipped and most up
to-date in this part of the State.
The completion of this modern
garage, a building the town will
take pride in, will be a consider
able extension of the business
section, increasing the “unearned
increment” of adjacent property,
and adding materially to the vol
ume of the town’s business by
reason of motorists being attract

Can Fruit Without Sugar
The present high price of sugar
is no excuse for not canning a
surplus. Fruit for use in pies or
as stewed fruit can be put up
without the use of sugar, accord
ing to the canning specialists of
the Agricultural Department.
Any fruit, they sav, may be suc
cessfully sterilized and retained
in the pack by simply adding
boiling water instead of the hot
syrup.
Can the fruit the same day it
is picked. Cull, stem or seed,
and clean the fruit by placing it
in a strainer and pouring water
over it until it is clean. Pack
the fruit thoroughly in glass jars
or tin cans until they are full;
use the handle of a table spoon,
wooden ladle or table knife for
packing purposes. rour over
the fruit boiling water from a
kettle, place rubbers and caps
in position, partially seal if using
glass jars, seal completely if
using tin cans. Place the con
tainers in a sterilizing vat, such
as a wash boiler with false bot
tom or other receptacle impro
vised for the purpose. If using
a hot water bath outfit, process
for 30 minutes; count time after
the water has reached the boil
ing point; the water must cover
the highest jar in the container.
After sterilizing remove packs,
seal glass jars, wrap in paper to
prevent bleaching and store in a
dry, cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans
it will improve the product to
plunge the cans quickly into cold
water immediately after ^sterili
zation.
