Any ideas? Thanks. -- Marilyn, Illinois Dear Marilyn: It's the high acid content that makes newsprint turn yellow. And just as you would treat acid in your tummy, you need to soak that paper in antacid. Mix 1 quart club soda with two tablespoons Milk of Magnesia, and refrigerate for eight hours before using. Pour the solution into a shallow pan; submerge the clip- ping, and let it soak for one hour out- side the refrigerator. Carefully remove the clipping, and place it on several layers of white paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Then move it to a clean, flat surface to dry completely. Be sure to test this method on a part of the news- paper you don't care to preserve just to make sure the method does not react poorly with the ink. It is not likely, but it's better to be safe. Here's another tip: Always display newspaper clippings out of direct sunlight to prevent fad- ing. Dear Mary: Years ago, when young girls got married, their mothers would make hankies for the bride to carry. Later, these hankies would be turned into their baby's first bonnet. Do you know where I could get the pattern for this? My son is getting married, and I would love to give this to his bride to carry. -- Jackie, California Dear Jackie: What a lovely tradition to rekindle. You can find the pattern and several appro- priate poems to go with it at lace.lacefairy.com/ Gallery/Hanki.html. Hanky Blanks in the state of Washington offers a Hanky Baby Bonnet Kit. With just a few folds and a little tacking with a needle and thread, you can make a beautiful baby bonnet that baby can wear home from the hospital or for christen- ing (or anytime really). Then, tuck it away until the child is ready to be married. Snip the tacking, unfold it, and you have a wed- ding hanky. It really is a cute keepsake. You can make it exactly as directed, or use your imagination and tack bows, lacy ribbons or anything you like on it. Visit Hanky Blanks at www.hanky- blanks.com. Dear Mary: I have several pairs of earrings with missing back pieces. I could use the back from another pair, but I'd really like to replace the backs so I can store the earrings properly. -- Martha, Minnesota Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Dear Martha: Most craft stores carry packages of ear- ring backs in the jewelry- making aisle. You'll have your choice of finishes and quality. In the meantime, should you lose a back at work or other inconvenient time, here's my favorite quick fix: Simply cut a slice of a pencil's eraser with a craft knife or scissors. You can push the earring post through the eraser quite easily. It makes for a very secure fit, is comfortable and works like a charm. Do you have a question for Mary?

One DUI arrest in 195 stops at checkpoint Special to the DN The Red Bluff Police Department conducted a DUI/Drivers license checkpoint between 8 p.m. and 1 a.m. on Satur- day, Jan. 14. The checkpoint was a success in promoting pub- lic safety, increasing awareness of the dangers associated with drinking and driving and serving as a deterrent to potential impaired and unlicensed drivers. A total of 195 vehicles drove through during the course of the checkpoint, resulting in one DUI arrest and two unlicensed drivers who were issued citations. Red Bluff Police will be conducting more DUI operations in a continued effort to encourage people to drink responsibly and to remember "Don't Drink and Drive." New Year opportunities to help fight cancer The American Cancer Society is encouraging the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors and volunteerism throughout the new year to reduce can- cer risk and help save lives. Evidence suggests that by taking preventive measures that will help you stay well such as regular health screen- ing, regular active exercise, a healthy nutritious diet, and quiting smoking, you can reduce your risk of cancer by nearly half. About 54,690 cancer deaths in Cal- ifornia in 2011 were suggested to be attributed to poor diet, physical inac- tivity, overweight, and obesity, and over 16,397 cancer deaths were esti- mated to be caused by tobacco use alone. These deaths could be prevented by taking the right steps towards reducing cancer risk – getting regularly sched- uled screenings, eating a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity and quitting tobacco use. Here are some ways to help you make healthier choices in the coming new year: Health Regular use of screening tests can prevent the development of some cancers, and improve survival and decrease mortality by detecting cancers at an early stage, when treat- ment is more effective. The American Cancer Society recommends yearly mammograms for women age 40 and over and regular colon cancer screen- ings for men and women age 50 and over, among other recommended screening tests.

Arrests • Laura Marie Miller, 41, and Tiffany Renee Knapp, 22, both of Red Bluff were arrested Tues- day at Walmart. Both were charged with felony burglary and conspiracy to commit a crime. Knapp was also charged with possession of stolen prop- erty worth more than $400. Bail was set at $40,000 for Miller and $55,000 for Knapp. • Daniel Ellis Mattis Jr., 27, of Corning was arrested Tuesday at the parole office.

Active Adults are encouraged to engage in at least 30 minutes of mod- erate to vigorous physical activity on five or more days of the week; children and adolescents should also engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vig- orous physical activity per day at least five days a week. Studies show that being physically active for 45 minutes on five or more days a week can reduce the risk of breast and colon can- cers. Nutrition Being overweight and/or obese increases risk for developing many cancers, including cancers of the breast and colon, and recent studies suggest that losing weight may reduce risk of breast cancer. To achieve and maintain a healthy weight, the Ameri- can Cancer Society recommends the following dietary guidelines: • Eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day; • Consuming whole grains instead of processed (refined) grains; • Limiting consumption of processed and red meats; and • Choosing foods and beverages in amounts that help achieve and main- tain a healthy weight. For tips on how to incorporate healthy foods into your daily meals visit cancer.org/healthy. Tools avail- able include a calorie calculator, downloadable recipes, BMI calculator and healthy shopping and cooking tips.

Smoking results in an estimated 16,397 premature deaths in California. Support: If approved on the June 5, 2012 ballot, the California Cancer Research Act (CCRA) will increase tobacco taxes by $1 a pack and invest the revenues in research, tobacco pre- vention and enforcement programs. The CCRA will generate nearly $600 million a year for cancer research. Once passed, California will be the second largest funder of cancer research in the world.
