Old Magazines Are Useful.

Have al old magazine handy on the
kitchen serving table upon which TO
place hot or soiled dishes from the
stove. AS the top leaf becomes soiled It
can be torn on and burned. Because Of
the weight of the magazine II is often
possible to tear of n leaf with one hand
while the other hand is engaged. This
is easier than scruobing black and
greasy rings from the table or having
the white oil cloth Scared by stains and
burns.
When the youngsters want to paste
things into their scrapbooks give them
an old magazine to work on. AS fast
as a leaf becomes gummy It may be
torn off and thrown away. and a clean
one is always waiting. This saves the
table from becoming sticky and smeared
with paste.
