Uses For Waste Paper


Few housekeepers are aware of
the many uses to which waste paper
may be put. After a stove has
been blackened it can be kept
looking very we'll for a long time
by rubbing it with paper every
morning Rubbing with paper is
a much nicer way of keeping the
outside of a teakettle, coffeepot and
teapot bright and clean than the
old way of washing them with
suds. Rubbing with paper is also
the best way of polishing knives
and tinwsre and spoons. They
shine like new silver. For polish
ing mirrors. lamp chimneys, etc.,
paper is better than dry cloth
Preserves and pickles keep much
better if brown paper instead of
cloth is tied over the jar. Canned
fruit is not so apt to mold if a
piece of writing paper to fit the
can is laid directly on the fruit.
Paper is much better to put under
a carpet than straw. 1t is warmer,
thinner and makes less noise when
one walks over it Two thickness
es of paper placed between other
coverings on bed are as warm as
aquilt. If it is necessary to step
upon a chair always lay a paper on
it and thus save the paint or wood
work from damage.
