If you have old newspapers or clippings or documents that are to brittle and want to save them. you can take 1 tablet or 2TBS of milk of Magnesia in a Qt of Club Soda, chill mixture overnite, Soak clippings in solution for 1 hour, blot and lay flat to air dry. they will last another 100 years , the remaining mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for the next use<( just remember to mark it so family members are aware it is not to be consumed.>)..
