I have found that often in a household there is need of a simple an(J effective glue that is colorless and odorless. By accident I found that the ordinary tapioca is splendid. Cover a small quantity level over with water, put over the fire and stir, adding water as it boils. Just enough to keep it to a paste. Apply with a brush or cloth. I have used it effectively in gluing wood, leather, paper or cloth on glass, and evenrubber. It is fine for household scrap-books and kodak pictures, taking care to use only the thin paste for anything of that kind.
