WAYS OF KILLING MOTHS.
Preparations to Use h Clothes Are
to Be Packed Away

Contrary to the general belief cam
phor, naphthalene and tobacco VIII
not kill clothes moths. They act
merely as repellants; where they are
used the moths viii not deposit eggs
II the eggs are already laid OF II the
young have hatched substances Of
this nature will have no effect. The
easiest way to rid clothes Of moths
Is to give them a thorough brushing
once week and then expose them tc
al and sunshine Where they are to
be packed away. fumigation with car
bon bisulphide Is the surest method.
Tie garments are put in a tight
trunk. with moth marbles
Then saucer Is placed on top OF
the pile with four or five tablel poon-
fuls Of liquid carbon bisulphide in It,
easily obtained at all druggists. The
lid is closed and the trunk left un-
disturbed until the clothes are wanted.
r The bisalphide evaporates, and be-
ing heavier than air. settles through
the garments It is deadly to insect
life and will destroy it in all stages.
No odor will remain in the clothes
after airing them few moments, so
that they can be used as soon as they
are taken out. The moth marbles
prevent other females from crawling
in to lay their eggs.
A simple way, but not so sure, is
after brushing the goods to pack them
In ordinary paper boxes or -four bags,
pasting a strip Of paper over the
cracks In order to keep out the moths
For closets, cracks. carpets, furniture
or carriage furnishings, thorough
sprinkling Of benzine or gasoline
will clean out the pests.

There Is a small boy Ia this town,

son OF a rather distinguished lawyer,
who has decided opinions on what
constitutes true aristocracy. One day
recently a friend called upon his
mother, and, while waiting for the
hostess, was entertained BY the small
boy.

you grow up?A was the ctcreotyped
question she pfopounded in the effort
20 start the conversation.

THERE IS A REASON.
The Medical Times Explains Why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.

Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.
The Medical Times for April in
moment of frankness explains the
whole opposition Of physicians to pat
ent" medicines which are taken with
out a prescription, in the following
words:
I'VE will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in one year s62.OOO,OOO has been ex-
pended on patent medicines in the
United States. Enough to give every
practitioner in the country yearly
income Of $4,000. In the face Of such
facts as these. all talk Of love OF hu.
manity, altruism, selfabnegation and
the like becomes CHEAP and nauseat.
ing. 1t appears to us that such bun.
combe should give place to homely
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount Of the patent" medI-
cine business is about $4O,DO0,0 900 in
stead Of s62,OOO,OOO but taking the
Medical Times figures as correct they
represent an outlay Of considerably
less than 81 per capita for home medi-
cation. The cost Of doctors fees ex-
elusive of medicines except such as
are dispensed for the same period.
probably was approximately s2SO.OOO.-
600. This is reached by allowing an
average income of $4,000 to each Of
the $4,000 physicians in the United
States. Even allowing that a gross
business Of s62,OOO,OOO is to be divid-
ed between $4,000 physicians the In
come Of each would not be increased
more than $40.

"A Lesson Which the Farmers Have
Learned This Year.

Selling on the trees is an expensive
way of selling fruit, for one has to sell
at discount. The buyer must protect
himself and he must have guarantee
against loss from windstorms and the
like. This year the growers of apples
in Illinois found it difficult to get into
touch with the sellers. Senator Henry
M. Dunlap believes that the Illinois
fruit growers have learned a lesson
this year they win long remember.
For few years past the buyers have
had to come to- them, and the fruit
growers have insisted that the buyers
should provide packages. But this year
the tables have turned. says Farmers
Review. The growers have had to
hunt the buyers, and they were hard
to find. This year the buyers were
scattered all over the United States
looking for apples, while in recent
years many have been found in Illinois
and neighboring states. The large
supplies of apples in other states this
year drew away the buyers and the
growers had to hasten to get buyers
for their stuff.
Some Of the buyers that generally
look after Illinois apples were this
year in New York. There they watched
the crop. and tried to buy it, hoping
to get it at from IS cents to $125 per
barrel, or at most s150 per barrel.
The New York growers refused to
sell at that figure and sat down and
waited. At every large apple center
in New York were found buyers wait
ing for the farmers to come to their
senses" But the farmers did not
come to their senses, and the buyers
had to give in. They finally paid from
$3.50 to 1925 for their apples. But in
the West the apples sold for a very
low price where the growers were not
in a position TO pack their own ap-
pies. The buyers prefer that the farm
ers pack their own apples when they
do it right. The only reason that the
buyers want to pack the apples they
buy is because the farmers do not
generally pack the apples as the buy
ers want them packed. Other things
being equal, the buyers prefer to have
the growers do the packing, as that
relieves the buyers of the necessity
of packing the fruit. The growers can
pack the fruit much more cheaply
than the buyers. as the growers can
generally get. some help from their
families, and they also have hired
men that are working by the month.
The buyer has to go out and hire day
labor at high price, and he has to
spend his1own time in supervision.
