THE ANTI-MOTh BRIGADE.

"HE only possible security from moths
lies in their determination. Many
house wives hold an nannualmOthhu hunt
in May, and then with folded hands
wait to see the result in the next
autumn. AS this result is not always to be
desired, the better way is TO begin early,
putting away all the flannels woolen cloths,
curtains, covers, etc, which can be dis
pensed with by the middle Of April, leav-
ing out only what is strictly necessary.
Have these draperies and garments well
beaten and freed from dust; go over all the
seams and pockets with clothes brush
Then wrap each article separately in Its
own cover OF paper (big flour bags make the
best covers), and well filled with real cam
phor or with tar camphor. The last is most
offensive to many people, but the point is
that the moths do not like it either, and
no selfrespecting grub will live in the
odor. Mark each bundle with the name
of its contents, seal all edges with muclage,
and pile the bundles away in a sheet on the
top shelf of the closet. From time 20 time
add garments no longer in season. and when
at last the winter flannels are discarded,
see that they are washed and treated like
the other clothing.
When the bundles contain every scrap of
wool not in personal and constant use, the
sheet may he secured around them all.

ALUMINIUM OUTFIT.

"HE first cost of a set of aluminium
cooking utensils is considerably

particularly to those who are pro
viding q first outfit for housekeeping.
They can better afford to economize in
some other part Of the home than in the
kitchen. Once utensils of this ideal ma
terial are provided, there need be no
replacement for many a year, unless the
purchaser forgets that vessels which hold
enough for stx may be made to contain
sufficient food for two only, while the
reverse is not tf9e. 1t is equally inju-
dicious to purchase either very small or
extra large utensils for kitchen use. un-

CAN YoU COVER THEM

Asst years white taffeta parasol,
IL somewhat soiled and unfit for
use, may be made as sweet and
- fresh as new by covering it with
frill OF chiffon, or point d. esprit,
edged with the narrowest OF white satin
ribbon. A colored parasol may be treated
in the same way, by covering with frils
of black mousseline de sole, OF chiffon.
To cover an entire parasol anew is not
so difficult a matter as one would sup
pose. especially If you have an old one at
hand to rip up aud use as pattern to cut
the new goods by. The material must be
stout enough to stretch across the frame
without fear OF tearing, aud the seams
must be joined stoutiy, especially at top
and bottom.

way to match a muslin or giugham gown

SOFT FOODS.

ABITUALLY eating soft foods,
In even soft bread, to the exclusion
r of everything that is hard or
L crusty, is not only weakening
TO the digestive organs, but it
.cads to rapid decay OF the teeth. When
these are not used in the mastiCation OF
harder foods, the teeth become covered
with tartar, and sometimes loosen in their
sockets, or the gums will bleed. The
use of hard bread and other substances
requiring thorough mastication will do
more TO preserve the teeth than all other
things put together. II Will also tend to
Keep them clean. and by insuring good
digestion. it will help to make the breath
fresh and pure.
Those who suffer frcm indigestion, in
stinctively reject the softer, sloppy foods,
as they are apt to make disturbance al
most as soon as swallowed. They in
stinctly give preference to the harder or
more solid foods. those that require thorough
mastication and insalivation.
