PRESERVING NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS

DISSOLVE ONE TABLESPOON OF PHILLIPS' MILK OF MAGNESIA [OR ONE TABLET]
IN ONE QUART CANADA DRY CLUB SOAD.
LET THE MIXTURE STAND OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY, STIR THE MIXTURE WELL,
THEN SOAK YOUR CLIPPING IN SOLUTION FOR ONE HOUR.
BLOT THE NEWSPAPER CLIPPING BETWEEN TWO SHEETS OF PAPER TOWLES AND PLACE ON A SCREEN TO DRY.
THE ANTACIDS IN MILK OF MAGNESIA NEUTRALIZE THE ACIDS IN NEWSPRINT PRESERVING THE CLIPPING.
