' The second point can be followed by cooking a quantity of food which seems to be on the point of spoiling. A box of berries can be saved by atewiug with sugar. Milk which undoubtedly would not keep until the next morning will be satisfactory if scalded. Many other foods which might become sub ject to mold or spoliation can be saved by being thus cooked or sterilized and perhaps canned temporarily. Bait, sugar and vinegar are helpful, natural preservatives. Their addition to many fruits and vegetables will make them "keep" several days longer than If they were not used. For In stance, beets, string beans, cucumber,, etc, which In warm weather cannot be allowed to stand over night unless In a very low temperature, will be perfectly preserved if covered with a weak solu tion of vinegar or brine. Soup and all twice cooked foods like stews, etc," are particularly likely to ferment and should be watched carefully.
