People don't often look back on the early 1900's for advice, but what if we could actually learn something from the Lost Generation?
通常人們不會為了求取生活妙方而去回顧20世紀(jì)初的年代，不過如果那個“垮掉的一代”真的能對我們有所助益呢？

The New York Public Library has digitized 100 "how to do it" cards found in cigarette boxes over 100 years ago, and the tips they give are so practical that millennials reading this might want to take notes.
紐約公共圖書館將一組100多年前的香煙盒上的“生活妙招”卡片進(jìn)行了數(shù)字化處理，這些卡片上的小貼士實在太實用了，二十一世紀(jì)的我們看到了也會多加留意！

How to Prevent Colours Running
如何防止衣服褪色

To prevent colours in household linen from running and staining other linen when washed together, coloured things should first be steeped in a solution of salt water. A double handful of salt to a gallon of water is a good propotion, and coloured things should be left to soak in this for about twenty-four hours.
家用亞麻布質(zhì)料的衣服在清洗的時候容易褪色，還會給其他亞麻布衣服染色，為了避免這一情況，應(yīng)該先把色彩鮮艷的衣服浸泡在鹽水里。兩把鹽，一加侖水的比例比較合適。將色彩鮮艷的衣服在鹽水里泡大約24小時就可以了。
