NEWSPAPER VALUE
When you have read this newspaper right through, do not throw it away. Its usefulness is not nearly exhausted.
Apart from the fact that you Jean use newspapers for lighting fires, they will, if moistened, clean windows and mirrors; will protect tender plants from frost if spread over them at night; save your dustbin If you wrap all refuse up in several thicknesses of paper; lighten scrubbing in the kitchen if spread over the drainingboard before washing up, or on the table before cooking, cleaning silver or brasses, etc. They can also be put down on the floor at the back door to save garden dirt -being trodden into the house, especially on wet days. Newspaper is the safest packing to use for breakable articles sent through the post; and a wedge of them placed on each tread of the staircase will prolong the life of your stair carpet indefinitely.
