USEFUL ALUM.

Under the head of articles to be
packed for tour comes alum. In the
country the water is often hard" with
lime, and it may be impure; therefore
it is worth knowing that piece of al
UNI suspended by string and drawn
through the water several times will
destroy all organic matter or cause
the lime to sink to the bottom of the
vessel. You will see also that, owing to
this peculiar property, alum makes
splendid gargle for sore throat.
