Preventing Newspaper Clippings From Yellowing

I promise this works.

Ingredients:

• one quart of club soda, any brand
• one tablespoon Milk of Magnesia, any kind

Directions:

1. Stir this together in a glass or plastic pan. Now breathe.
2. Put your newspaper clipping in to soak for one hour.
3. Dry on a paper towel. This removes the acid in the paper and keeps it from yellowing and deteriorating and makes an instant heirloom.
