House Furnishing and Decorating: Paper

Paper Bags. These are not only convenient to wrap up articles, but are especially useful to polish stoves and lamp chimneys, to wipe up milk, grease, or what not, as they can be quickly disposed of by burning when soiled.

Tissue Paper. - This is useful for polishing glass, wrapping up laces, ribbons, and other delicate articles.

Oiled Papers. - Oiled papers that come over butter and lard may be used for papering cake tins. The waxed papers that come on the inside of cracker or biscuit boxes are useful to wrap up cheese and other articles which will deteriorate if exposed to the air, also for wrapping lunches, for school and factory lunch pails, and picnics.

Wrapping Paper. -This may be used to slice bread and cake upon, roll crackers, pare apples or potatoes, and dress chickens on, after which it may be rolled up and dropped into the garbage pail.

Or it may be spread over the garbage pail and all garbage placed on it to save trouble in cleaning.

Flour Bags. - Large paper flour bags are useful for bleaching gloves and other small articles with the fumes of sulphur, and dry cleaning with magnesia, corn meal, and similar substances. The cloth sacks may be used for dish towels and dishcloths.

When emptying flour sacks, a small amount of flour will adhere to the sack. Turn the sack inside out, lay it over the molding board, and knead the bread upon it. This will cleanse it effectually.
