soft soap, fine starch and lemon juice to

thickly on both sides of the cloth and

three tablesponfuls yeast, flour to make
a thick batter; mix at night, and in the

from sugar is preferable, as it driei
quicker. For use, piece of this pape
is laid upon a plate and dampened will

third of powdered black pepper, an,
