storage place is exposed to light, wrap each jar in 

 paper — preferably brown, as light will either fade or 

 darken the color of products canned in glass. The 

 boxes in which jars were brought afford good storage. 

 Store in a cool, dark place, preferably dry. Exposure 

 to mold will cause decay of rubber, allowing the leak- 

 age of air into jars. Paper wrappings prevent mold. 

 Care should be taken to store canned vegetables and 

 fruits where they will be protected from freezing. If 

 the place of storage is not frost-proof, the jars should 

 be removed to a warmer place during severe weather.
