One of our volunteers found a recipe in Yankee magazine for preserving
newspaper clippings (de-acidification, I presume).  Has anyone heard
of this?  Can you comment on its efficacy/dangers?  Thanks.
 
"Dissolve a milk-of-magnesia tablet in 1 qt. club soda overnight.
Pour into a pan large enough to hold the clippings (flattened).
Let it soak for one hour.  Carefully remove and pat dry.  Do not move
until completely dry."
