I thought these were interesting. Wanted to share them with you all. Abstracts from Panama Nebraska Newspapers in 1913: Unusual recipes. We will publish in this column a collection of the best recipes on a variety of subjects. Chest Protector: A folded newspaper placed over the chest next to the underclothing is an excellent protector for the lungs in cold weather. Roach Exterminator: Powder borax, 2 lbs.; powdered sugar, 8 oz.; Powdered cocoa, 4 oz., Mix and sprinkle where roaches are most plentiful. Healing Balm: Pure glycerin, 4 oz.; rose water 4 oz.; sub nitrate of bismuth 10 grams. Shake well and apply several times a day for chapped hands, lips and face. Coffee Barometer: A cup of hot coffee is an unfailing barometer, if you drop a lump of sugar tot he bottom of the cup and watch the bubbles arise without disturbing the coffee. If the bubbles collect in the middle the weather will be fine; if they adhere to the edge of the cup, forming a ring it will either rain or snow; if the bubbles separate without assuming any fixed position, changeable weather can be expected.
