Two Jars Stuck Together
Year Aunt Daisy, Could you tell me how to get one jam jar out of another? One is the usual type of jelly jar, and is jammed in the neck of a very useful wide-mouthed jar. I hope I shan’t have to break either of them. I have been trying all this evening to get them apart, and suddenly thought of Aunt Daisy, who helps us all.

The same thing often happens with the stopper of a scent bottle, or a decanter. The idea is to work a little oil betweeri the two glasses, as well as one can, and very gently tap them all round; a brush or feather may be used to put the oil on, Also, try standing the outer jar in hot water, so that it will expand a little in the heat; and put some cold water into the inner jar, so that it will contract a little. Then, with the oil, and the tapping, and gently easing the jar, you may be able to break the seal enough to allow a slight entry of air between the two, and the job will he done.
