To Soften Skins.
There are two simple ways OF soft
ening leather and raw skins. One Is
to rub In thoroughly neat's-fOOt oil.
The other is to dissolve three ounces
Of alum, seven ounces OF salt and one
and One-hah ounces saleratus in suffi-
Gent hot rain water to saturate the

the hands soak the skin in It for II
hours; wiring out and hang up to dry.
When dry repeat this operation two or
three times until the skin Is sufficient

Of Tiberius by order Of the admins
