Old Newspapers

Economy is often the road
that leads to wealth. In many
households newspapers when
once read are thrown in the
woodbox. allowed TO become
solled, and no account is taken
OF them. They are simply so
much rubbish to be disposed Of.
But there really is no limit to
the many ways newspapers may
be used. a few suggestions
here may help some housewives
to form the habi, OF keeping old
papers and turning them to good
account.
Place newspapers on the kitch-
en- aud pantry shelves.
kindle the fire by twisting
newspapers into a tight roll.
Polishing windows with a soi,
crumpled newspaper is most
satisfactory.
Rub the grease of the top OF
the stove with Il newspaper and
then burn it.
Keep moths from clothing and
wooden blankets by wrapping
them IN newspapers.
Plenty OF old newspapers laid
under a carpe, will save the pnr-
chase OF the usual padding.
Fru,, may be pared over a
newspaper aud a parcel made OF
the waste for the scrap can.
Cover the bottoms OF dresser
drawers. chilfonicrs aud ward
robes, with newspapers and re.
new them often.
Poultry can bc cleaned on 4
newspaper, III "nl,n ali waste
may be wrapped. and no clean.
Jog up will be necessary.
When frying, a large ncwspa-
per will be found serviccablc TO
absorb all dr,ppings and sput.
,er,ngs OF tat. |, is much easier
TO burn the paper than TO clean a
greasy floor or hearth.
Tear up newspapers into
small bits. soak them in water,
then scatter over rugs or mat
ting before sweeping. The
dus, will adhere 30 the paper
and make the sweeping very
successful.
