SOME USES FOR A I.IM .
LUM is very useful In the home,
and there Is nothing better for
mending broken dishes or a
lamp when it is loose In the collar
than alum melted and used while
hot.
Sprinkle the alum under the edges
of your carpets and in the corners,
and the moths will not b< ther you.
An excellent remedy for croup is
made by beating the white of an
e&K to a stiff froth, then sweeten
a little, add a little pulverized alum
and give a teaspoonful every ten or
fifteen minutes until relief comes.
There is no better way to remove
any foreign substance from the eye
than to make this same mixture,
spread it on a cloth and lay it over
the eye.
To set the color in light shades of
pink and blue, soak the goods in salt
water with a small lump of alum
added and use the alum alone for
tho different shades of lilac and
violet. After the color has been set
wash the garments through warm
borax suds, as the borax not only
softens the water, but helps to keep
the color in the goods.
If the feet are tender bathe them
often In strong alum and boric acid;
rubbed on when the feet are dry it
will remove any odor, but it must be
allowed to dry on the feet.
It Is one of the best remedies
known to stop bleeding. A heaping
teaspoonful of powdered alum placed
in a common teacup of water will
stop the flow of blood in any ordi­
nary wound where no large artery
has been severed. Snuffling a solu­
tion will stop bleeding of the nose.
A teaspoonful of powdered alum
and molasses will cure the croup in
Children.
It will also cure painter’s colic.
