Directions
Before putting fresh paper on walls the old paper should be carefully removed by wetting it with saleratus water, when it will fall off easily. The walls should be brushed over with a weak solution of carbolic acid, which will drive away insects and sweeten the walls. The Chinese often remove plaster from old houses and replace it with new, and are paid for their trouble in the value of the old plaster for fertiliz- ing purposes.
If there is too much whitening on the wall, take a scraper about three inches wide, with handle; wet the wall with clean water and scrape. After getting off all the old whitening, give the wall a thin coat of glue sizing, made by dissolving common glue in water. A little alum in the paste will help it greatly.
Or to one gallon of soft water use one pint of rye flour, half an ounce of white glue and one ounce of alum. The glue and alum are to be dis- solved, of course, and the flour is put into the water while cold, and put over the fire and stirred until boiling hot ; pour in the solutions men- tioned. Scrub the wall thoroughly with a stiff broom, dust off, and it is ready for papering. If the paste in cooling becomes thick, thin it with boiling soft water until very thin.
