USES FOR NEWSPAPERS

Place newspaper# in front of the stove when frying. Wrap jars of preserves in newspapers and the color of the fruit will not fade. ——7— — Wrap your furs, winter clothes, etc., in newspapers and the moths will not trouble them. Stuff your porch cushions with finely shredded newspapers. They are clean and economical. To wash lamp chimneys, windows, etc., use first a large wad of wet paper, then polish with dry. Newspaners under the little ones* plates will prevent staining the tablecloth and save laundry bills. Strips of newspapers pasted at the top of kitchen screen doors will help brush away the files when the doors are opened. Use a double thickness of newspapers across your chest when the weather Is particularly cold and windy and save doctors’ bills. When pressing clothes, instead of bothering with a damp cloth, use two thicknesses of newspaper and quite a hot iron. A great time saver.
