PASTE . 



Mis: flour and cold water into a batter just 

 thin enough to run freely, Have on hand a large quan- 

 tity of boiling water. Pour the hot water into the 

 batter, slowly mixing it in thoroughly as the water is 

 poured. The hot water cooks the paste. When well cooked 

 the paste will be translucent. Strain it'and add about 

 one ounce of alum to each gallon of paste. The alum will 

 prevent the paste from becoming sour. 



To apply paste have paper lying on a flat sur- 

 face and spread paste evenly on it with a broad flat brush. 

 Do not spread it too thick. One 'gallon of paste will hang 

 about 9 rolls of ordinary paper.
