Gilt Picture Frames (to clean): "To one pint of water add enough sulphur to make the water a decided yellow. Add three onions, pulled apart, and let it come to a boil. When cool, strain and apply to the frame with a soft brush and rub with soft flannel." "Green Soap: Take 3 ounces each of green Castile soap, water, alcohol and glycerin. Heat the water, shave the soap into it, stir until it is smooth, add the glycerin and stir again. As alcohol is inflammable, it must not be used carelessly near the fire. It is best to stir it in the mixture after it is taken from the stove." "Homemade Library Paste: Dissolve one ounce of alum in one quart of water, add flour to make a thin paste; stir in one teaspoonful of powdered resin, add a few drops of oil of cloves and boil until thoroughly cooked, stirring constantly. Keep in a tightly covered jar." Have fun. Edna
