To Remove Odors
Musty and other unpleasant odors in goods packed and stored may be prevented by sprinkling charcoal in and about the articles, and putting lumps of charcoal in the receptacle in which they are stored.
To Store Silk
To prevent silks or woolen goods from turning yellow when packed and stored, break up a few pieces of genuine white beeswax, fold loosely in cheese cloth, and place among the goods. Wrap up the articles in old white linen or cotton cloth. Do not use white paper. It Will turn them yellow.
