Household notes for safe packing and lamp care
Household notes advise packing glass or china in slightly damp hay to prevent slipping. For bamboo furniture cracks, mix equal parts linseed oil and turpentine and rub on with a soft cloth. Before lighting, run a new lamp wick through the burner, wet in kerosene, and let stand a day. A tomato salad with pineapple and nuts is suggested. For bazaars, roll scraps into bundles and attach to garments. To stop kerosene lamp odor, add salt to each lamp and change monthly.
