keeping Airtight.

Many housekeepers have trouble with keeping airtight anything that is put up in jars. If, however, after a bottle or jar is corked it is sealed with a mixture of beeswax and rosin there is no danger of air getting at it. To make this sealing mixture put two ounces of yellow beeswax and four of rosin in a small tin can, which is then set in a larger pan of hot water. Stir constantly until the wax and rosin are well blended. Apply while still liquid to the outside of the corked jar or bottle. —Louisville Herald.
