country IN its crude state and refined
In America. but there is scarcely enough

That the supply Of camphor is fast

heads Of households, for other means
must now be employed to preserve
clothes from devastation by moths.
Local druggists can give no idea of
when more may be expected or how

wholesale houses, and that Is fast being
consumed
The shipment promised is believed 20
be from Japan. and 1t IS just barely
possible that one may come IN shortly
from India. but that Is only surnise.

mer as a means of protection. In other
events there IS a merry time ahead for
the busy little winged body that can
bring more trouble into q family than
an automobile guide book.

Washington, and unless some effective
substitute can be obtained. ones winter
clothes promise @ harvest for the ever
destructive moth.
The inadequate supply Of camphOr Is
TO be accredited TO the war between
Russia and Japan. fort is from the
land Of the Mikado that the greatest
supply OF camphor is brought 20 this
country. and in the past two months
but two shipments have been made.
This is most unusual. rs cargOes Of
camphor were continually coming TO
America from Japan prior 10 the out
break Of war. The last shipment y hich
was sent is now almost exhausted and
since hosulities were declared, the
wholesale price has advanced from S.
cents 10 IS cents a pound. The latest
New York quotation on camphor was
given at the latter, while the retail
price was sI02 a pound.

There is every indication that the
price Of camphor will continue 20 rise.
