The paper bags in which groceries are
done up are useful in many ways and
should be saved, said grocer the other
day. For instance, slip your hand in one
of them when you black stove and it is
not soiled. In fly time slip over the clean
lamp chimney during the day and it will
be nice and clean when you light it In the
evening. When you can fruitin the glass,
slip the sack over the glass and the fruit
will keep much better. The action of the
light causes more fruit to spoil than any
other thing.
