The paper bags in which groceries arc
done up are useful in many ways and
should be saved, said a grocer the other
{ day. For instance, slip your hand in one
of them when you blacken the stove anG
it will not be soiled. In fly time slip one
over the clean lamp chimney during thu
day and it will be nice and clean wher
you light it in the evening. When yol
can fruit in glass, slip tho sacks over til,
glass and the fruit will keep much better
The action of the light causes more frui
8 to spoil than any other thing.
