Moths in Carpets.

experienced housekeepers saw that if
moths have not secured a permanent
lodgment in house, it is quite safe TO leave
carpets on the floors, for two and even
three years without lifting. But. unless
sure that the house is perfectly free from
moths, the only safe way is to take nm tha
carpets once or twice wear.

moths and their eggs, and after few such
vlsltations they disappear.
But this steaming and ironing process is
not etfectual with Wiltons, Moouettes or
